This is what I am expecting to see with the possible exception of Bekker over Osorio if there are any injury concerns over a hot 90 minute match.

[Canary10]

Uh oh. The MLS pick em crew is almost unanimous in picking us. One has a draw. I never like that.

San Jose is not a bad team. They come in in pretty decent form. Like us their points per game would have them a little higher up than the table shows. I think this will be a tough one.

[MartinUtd]

Morrow will play a good game against his old team. Not sure if Oduro is thrown right into the starting XI (is he even eligible yet?). We'll probably see Moore playing the wing if Gilberto gets the start again.

Solid lineup. After the World Cup, sub in Bradley for Osorio and Orr for Bloom and that's a formidable team, on paper anyway.

[molenshtain]

Bloom is a top 5 right back. We should be grateful he continues to bless us with his presence.

[GhostKiller]

Bloom is a top 5 right back. We should be grateful he continues to bless us wit his presence.

I rate Bloom too but lets be real...He is the one graced by our presence. Before this he was scrapping it out with the Silverbacks. Not saying he hasn't earned his spot though.

[Yohan]

SJ has never lost in Toronto, but expects to start Ty Harden at CB and no Wondo.

[jloome]

Bloom is a top 5 right back. We should be grateful he continues to bless us with his presence.

He's rapidly improving but he still has positional lapses sometimes and leaves too much space behind him when the ball is in the opposite field. He also has to put on some weight and muscle, as he's pushed off the ball too easily.

I like our chances today. I'm going to say 2-1 TFC.

[Milanista]

i love the 4 3 3 formation and i think it suits gilberto better...we have the players, especially when bradley is back, to put pressure on teams up the field. Lets attack rather then be too cautious

It's these type of games that we almost definitely should win that always make me the most nervous.

edit:

[Ultra & Proud]

Hall. Fuck. You know the drill. If Hall plays we don't win.

No Hall I say 2-1 for us. If Hall plays then I say a nervy 1-1 ugly match.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

That midfield....

[Kaz]

Thankfull that is usually crap and is just a guess by dumb people... I think they pick the players for the most click bait.

Great...as soon as I leave for amsterdam.

[OgtheDim]

I could live with a Warner / Bekker midfield, but, the Quakes midfield has been solid of late.

Jackson on the left and Osorio on the right, with Oduro to come in on the right after 60 minutes to have a go at SJ's slow defence.

[Marc"2L"]

Going to be a little sick if that's our midfield. Also, nascarguy just got on my GO bus!

[Yohan]

MLS Live is free this weekend, though TFC game should be blacked out

That midfield....

THAT thing is always wrong, always laugh when i see it on instagram

[Ossington Mental Youth]

Can Oduro play today?

[ag futbol]

Put Osorio back in the middle in his preferred Box-to-box role. And as much as I'm not completely writing off Bekker, he needs to be dropped until he consistently puts in more effort defensively.

Not all that impressed with Lovitz either. The sooner we drop him the better.

Lovitiz? Really? Geez we don't really like to give young players any time at all do we?

[jloome]

Mark it down here that Lovitz will be a starting MLS winger for years, barring injury.

Sam Cronin is benched for San Jose; that's who we should be picking up right now if possible.

I'm revising my earlier 2-1 for TFC. I think 1-1 or 2-2 are more likely. San Jose's midfield is playing really well right now.

[jloome]

Here's what I'd like to see. I'm sure I'll be SOL.
-------------Bendik--------------
Jackson--Henry--Caldwell--Morrow
-----------Orr---------------------
--Oduro------------Lovitz
----------Osorio-----------------
---Gilberto---------Defoe

[ag futbol]

Lovitiz? Really? Geez we don't really like to give young players any time at all do we?

To clarify: I mean to the bench, not from the team. He can't go a full 90, fades quickly.

I doubt he's going to be starting anything unless it's for Chivas, but I respect that people see it differently.

[notthesun]

Oduro is in the squad today as per Larson.

[Kaz]

Bendik,
Hagglund, Caldwell, Henry, Bloom,
Jackson, Warner, Osorio,
Moore, Gilberto, Defoe

From twitter... this is interesting.

is Gilberto in the #10 or the centre forward position.

Are we going with a diamond style formation?
