Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
I agree, it would be my preference for Mark to get a runout with TFCII first to get his legs back under him etc.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
I think Bloom's pretty underrated going forward honestly. He's not more than average athletically for the position but when he was in form he was very good at choosing his spots to get forward and exploiting space and was probably our most accurate crosser. Then the collective mid season slump happened and he got lost on defense and lost confidence going forward.
I'd love to see what kind of effect Vanney could have on him. If he comes back at his best he's exactly the type of FB you want opposite of Morrow's bombing forward all game. Calm, Composed, stays back a little more often but exploits space well when it's given to him.
That is were I would play him, let the two forwards give him space in front of him, and let him operate in an out of the pocket behind him. BUT he should not be expected to track back, so all three of the mids, need to stay responsible defensively. It should be played in the classic Italian 4-3-1-2, I think he played there for Parma and had a monster year. If the 4-3 stays in shape it shuold stay solid defensively, and then just feed the ball forward to giovinco, who will orchestrate the attack. Clearly Gio will have to be allowed to move as he likes in there.
It's an interesting idea, but I see some holes in this plan. We need the extra mid tracking back on D to help balance Morrow's runs. Morrow gives us the only real width we have in attack on his overlaps. Our attack would be pretty stagnant with only Gio, Moore and Finley up front while they think defence first. Our ball movement is still solid, even without Oso, Altidore and Bradley, so I'd be inclined to stick to our guns and see what our subs can do. These guys have only had one start and it was a nightmare game in LA, made worse by the shit phantom penalty and an atrocious brainfart by Morrow. Give Chapman some time at the top of the diamond and see what he can do.

So Luke Moore is starting with Findley replacing him later in the game..
Our third choice striker and our fourth, so I agree, it isn't ideal. That said, if Moore plays like he did while Altidore was out, that will be a plus, as he did unexpectedly well.

In your opinion did Findley do enough to start this next game? I don't see it. He moves faster than Moore but doesn't seem to add more. Who else to provide the bulk and contrast to Formica Atomica?

Dude just hates Moore
Moore sucks but Finley is much worse. There is no better option.
Who's good with photoshop?
Couldn't have said it any better.

they both suck! I'm just pissed because that's actually our top 2 options now.

Findley hasn't shown much, but Moore has been serviceable as a backup when paired with Giovinco. Findley and Moore as a pairing would be cause for concern, so we have to hope Giovinco keeps up his good form and avoids injury.

Lampard
I'm having problems not laughing.
That is priceless.
And classic.
Expecting another game of our guys getting gooned all over the pitch.
Kurtis Larson @KurtLarSUN Expect some changes to Toronto FC's XI on Sunday. Some could surprise you.

@mcolvy Well, they did just lose 4-0.
**************
Let the speculation begin.....
Pure utter speculation
4-5-1
Bendik back in net
Perquis and Hagglund in the middle
Morrow and Bloom on the outside
5 across the middle with Jackson, Champman, Cheyrou, Warner, Delgado
Giovinco up top
***
Muscle and speed and the ability to kick the shit out of them if necessary
Caldwell get back in?
Vanney ruled him out earlier this week.
@NYCFC: Frank Lampard Ruled Out vs. @torontofc #NYCFC

bbbaaaahahahahahahahaha.
Is Simonin fit or is that too big of a surprise?
Tank gawd. Although they didn't need him last time
According to Vanney, no.
There will be people at the touchdown pub by the ground in Haliton watching this match.
This improves my morning immensely.
Ol MAn City had a farm
NYCFC
And on this farm they had a Frank
Where could Frankie be???

Maybe 4-3-3?
Findley-----Moore------Jackson
-------Chapman--Warner-------
-------------Cheyrou------------
-Morrow--Perquis-Zavaleta-Bloom
-------------Konopka---------------
Lol yes!
I want to see us play a 4-3-3 so badly, replace Findley with Giovinco and Chapman with Creavalle though
Geez. Forgot about Giovinco.
Giovinco-----Moore------Jackson
-------Chapman--Warner-------
-------------Cheyrou------------
-Morrow--Perquis-Zavaleta-Bloom
-------------Konopka---------------
If it's Creavalle and Warner then we'll get no creativity through the middle. It'll be Canada El Salvador all over again.
