IMO, it was the switch to a 3 man defensive backline that did the team in. I think after DC United lost a man they were lined up 4-3-2 with 2 strikers and TFC was playing something like a 3-4-3, but to put a big defender in the backline by himself and a rookie left back was putting too much pressure on the backline, especially if that pressure is coming from two MLS veterans in Chris Potzus and everyones favorite De-Ro.

TFC was definitely lucky to even get anything. Stefan Frei is definitely a lesser goalkeeper than the one everyone thought would be leaving for Europe. He's almost like a poor man's Will Hesmer. He was playing erratic the entire game, but blame the defensive woes.......I dont know
