And so the road trip begins.
Tough game again, especially with only 1 of our usual back 4.
Winnable - yes. Time for us to get a result I think. Need to show we can win away occasionally.

I plan on being at Joe's for this.
Also: I may have Canada vs Jamaica tickets for 112 with me.

We really need 4 points minimum in this week's two games.
I think we're really going to want to bounce back from the last game. 2-0 for us. Bradley runs the midfield and Gilberto and Defoe get the goals.
what a topsy turvy league MLS is. New England looked to run away with the East early season why DCU was sucking so bad. Now it's the reverse.
I don't know what's got into Olsen's men, but they grind out results. RFK has generally been not very kind to TFC.
Also, vote if you want this game as free stream of the week.

Only two games away from tying the record. With a DGW, they could tie it this week. One away from our awesome 0-9 start. Crazy.Originally Posted by Yohan
I hate games on sportsnet there always so poorly broadcast.
Gonna be an interesting back 4:
Creavalle...Orr...Hagglund...Morrow?
or do they move Jackson to RB? Hall?
Maybe Morrow over to the right and Morgan gets a start?
I noticed at the end of the SKC game we played with 3 at the back. Could that be a possibility?
I think the 3 at the back was due to being a goal down and a man up not something Nelsen would ever be comfortable with (don't think we have the personnel to do it either).
I think the back 4 will likely be the 4 you posted and it will be interesting how goes on wednesday.
I think Ceravalle gets a look this week. Should be him and Hagglund, Orr and Morrow on the backline as suggested here.
Also like to see a more attack minded midfield with leaving Warner in between to play line to line between defenders and the midfield.
Jackson and Orduro on the wings to take advantage of DCs older midfield.
John Molinaro @JohnMolinaro 1h Based on what I saw at training today, expect a Morrow, Orr, Hagglund, Creavalle back four for #TFC vs DC United
Tim Drodge @bgnewf 53m And #TFC gets yet another RAW ref tomorrow night vs DC. Chris Penso has reffed a grand total of SIX MLS GAMES going into tomorrow night

Penso has been reffing in MLS since 2011. He still sucks though

TSN 1050 has it on radio at 7 PM.
I want us to DESTROY DC after Olsen had the balls to come to our house and throw tantrum after tantrum about the officiating.
4 nil for the best team in the East. Defoe with the brace, Gilberto with one from the spot and Hagglund from a set piece.
^ What he said.
^^And for Bendik to prove all his haters wrong by lobbing Hamid, intentionally.
This is going to be a hard match to watch to the end, for those who play the Espindola drinking game.
"Failure simply isn't an option at this stage. TFC pushed its chips to the middle of the table when it splurged on Bradley and Defoe and reinforced its bet by making savvy acquisitions elsewhere. This collection of players is capable of delivering on the promises made during the close season. There are no more excuses available for TFC. Only success will continue the process of atoning for the past and establishing a higher standard for the future." FOX Sports

Notes:
jackson can fuck off
osorio can come on later with moore
we will win
Common Nelsen, lets see Gilberto in the hole for a few games.

Apparently he ain't playing.
Jackson>lovitz.
All I have seen lovitz do is try and deke out defender and go for a cross (not always successfully). None of our forwards are really known for their air game, I much prefer Jackson cutting into the middle and feeding Defoe.
I disagree. Lovitz balls are probably the best on the team. Always puts them in good spots and always makes a good move to create space to throw the cross in.
I'm also done with Jackson trying to beat everyone and losing the ball and making or in his case not making a pass in the final third.
I find Lovitz is more consistent then Jackson.

Your street lingo confuses me.
hahaha fixed dam phone lol
Lol.
Is it just me or has anyone else thought Orr has played badly the last few games? If you watch the replay of KC game, he is legit looking at the ground and has no awareness that jacob paterson was cutting right in front of him. Made him look like a Pilon. Made a few stupid errors that have cost us goals. Not been comfortable with him on field at all.
He'll be out there tonight with Henry being suspended though.
So Jackson is on 4 yellows. With the card happy new ref, I bet we see him on the bench in Montreal.

I actually thought it looked (on the replay) like Orr mistakenly made a short clearnace across the box right onto Peterson's foot, instead of trying to blast the ball away. A costly mistake, but he has been generally pretty good.
