    He is major contributor to our success though. During the Montreal game for example, he cut off passing lanes and relentlessly pressed Donadel causing a disconnect with their front 4. Donadel had to drop deeper and wider to create space for himself where he then lumped balls to Drogba. Offensively, he then drew the winning penalty to win the game. We don't get that result without Altidore.
    It's early days. Obviously our defense is vastly improved. I would not write in and instantly declare its going to hold less than one goal a game for the season. That's a statistical outlier based on historical results. It won't be easy to achieve regardless of how the road trip went.

    I think the idea of Altidore "relentlessly pressing" is over baked. He gets the odd challenge in and does a reasonable amount of work defensively. Still doesn't excuse the lack of scoring. This is a striker we are talking about.

    Anyway... Back to the game. 3-1 TFC and I'll venture Altidore might actually pot one today.

    One thing I want to see from Altidore is to shoot more, his overall play has been good but he cannot continue having one shot a game, he isn't that clinical of a finisher to expect the same amount of goals as last year with so few shots.

    I understand Giovinco is always going to be the main guy, but I have to question whether its worth spending DP money on a striker than isn't going to get looks because of that, Alitidore seems to have a great game overall now, but I think I would prefer a DP playmaker if he isn't going to also be putting in a few.

    I still think the two can have great chemistry and its still early.

    We are going to have a comfortable win by 2 or 3 goals.
    Gio gets one at least.

    i disagree with the commentator. Osorio is just a slow thinker. He is not an MLS player. I've been saying this for 3 years and people just continue to disagree because he's Canadian.

    Osorio's decisively average athleticism just meant we couldn't pave over perquis's mistake. Both looked a little dire on that play.
