    This is a great chance to knock off a team that is struggling and biting at our playoff ankles. 2 Wins against Houston would put them 9 back and TFC would have 4 games in hand.

    No excuses for draws. None for losses. These are the moments that good teams seize.

    Particularly when success is gauged by finishing in the top 50%. Knock them out and only 4 more to keep behind us.

    Agree on the stomping but that last game of Houstons draw to NY was quite an effort. They are FIGHTING. As are we to keep the better than we look record.

    Interview pics going up on twitter. Likely to be video of Nelsen. Based on http://www.torontofc.ca/news/2014/07...-july-schedule, Gilberto not playing but who knows.

    That's not at all unusual. Haven't you ever had an injury where you think it's not so bad, I'll play today anyway then realize that probably wasn't the smartest thing you've ever done? These are guys that don't like to miss games. Bradley in particular.

    Lot of US players play in Europe so don't have games anyway. Some like Beckerman played. Yeah, probably should have had a week off but when you have a guy who insists on playing...anyway, hardly evidence of the club being a joke. I guess Salt Lake is too.

    Lol. Bet he plays some minutes anyway. Then we'll be having this conversation again next Wednesday.

    So the theory that all Gilberto needed was one goal and the floodgates would open will finally be put to the test.

    Well hell just froze over down in Cleveland an hour or so ago so who knows what will happen with Gilberto.

    I'm pissed. I don't know why Nelson played Bradley last week. He was coming off going 90 in every game in the World Cup and we didn't even give him a day off.

    And now we're heading into the busiest month of the year and our best player isn't 100%.

    120 minutes in the last one. He ran over 16k in that match. Guy never stops. Which is probably why he played Saturday. I'm fine with it tbh. Better to play him against the first place team and rest him against the last place team. The reality is everyone is carrying some sort of injury at this point. This is probably an enforced rest and he could go if really wanted to.

    Back to 4-4-2?

    Wouldn't mind seeing another crack at the 4-2-3-1 even though it didn't generate a goal. At the same time I can see the argument to go back to the 4 - 4- 2 that worked well against NY (with a 'minor' tweak of swapping a DP for Moore ).

    Too bad the same DP upgrade can't happen with Bradley for Osorio. Still waiting to see starting line-up continuity that features all 3 DPs!

    Hoping to see the 4-3-3 from Nelsen.

    Bendik, Bloom, Caldwell, Henry, Morrow, Warner, Orr, Osorio, Gilberto, Defoe, Oduro

    We need these three points

    This gives Jackson a break which might be a good thing. With a Houston defence leaking goals 4-3-3 might open up the floodgates. Establishing a threat from oduro and Gilberto will give Defoe more room.

    Bradley should have been on a beach somewhere last Saturday. That was nuts. It's not his call.

    Not the first time this sort of thing has happened this season. They should have learned by now...

    Official MLS injury report issued yesterday has Gilberto as questionable. Bradley not listed on the report at all. Suggests healthy and available.

    MLS injury reports seem to be based on what the teams tell the media. Bradley didn't practice all week.

    You know as an aside, if MLS wants to get big it needs to figure out a way to market participation in legal sports gambling.

    NFL weekend shows are built around "the spread" and "locks". NCAA March Madness wouldn't be where it is without pools.

    And if it does participate, official injury reports should be official.

    Huge game today we have to start getting points with these games in hand and create a gap between us and the bottom of the East. Hopefully the DC gsme was just a blip on the radar and we go back to the form we had running into the DC game.
