    This is one game that I haven't been looking forward to simply because I have to relive that goddamn save over and over again. We all know motivation for this one is easy to come by. It by no means will erase what happened in December (only winning the December game this year will do that) but it will go a ways to making a statement that we are going for both the Shield and cup this year. Seba has found his groove and is clicking with Jozy. Raheem will be bombing down the flanks pushing their backline. If New England can score 3 we should be able to at least score 2. I like us with a 2-1 win.

    It will be very interesting to see who even travels. Altidore and Vasquez are doubts for me, as they need their minutes carefully managed, and I think if they could rest beitashour they would.

    We just beat the most in-form team in the league. Past is ancient history. I'm hoping for a shut out.

    Would love to see a rematch with our full squad against theirs but it just ain't going to happen this weekend even though everyone will be talking about the MLS Cup rematch. Not really a rematch without the same players involved. I really hope we rest some guys and the guys that do play have some good fortune. I want us to win the Columbus game more than this one so hope we do the smart thing to rest guys and don't play our full squad again just to make the rematch an "event" for MLS because I am sure there is pressure to do so. So many people questioned if Seattle were the better team last time so I am sure they are looking to prove it with this game.

    I see a lot of player rotation in this one. I imagine we'll see Mavinga in place of Morrow and Ricketts in place of Altidore, and subbing out Seba and Vasquez after 60 minutes. Our backline will probably suffer a brainfart, so i'm thinking this could end up a 1-0 loss or 1-1 tie.

    According to Kurt Larson, Giovinco, Vazquez, Beitashour & Zavaleta didn't travel to Seattle. Protecting them from the long flight & crappy turf in Seattle; and saving them for the more important in-conference game vs. Columbus next Wednesday.

    http://www.torontosun.com/2017/05/05...versus-seattle

    I'm fine with that. The remaining TFC players (incl. a few who don't normally start or get much playing time) will be motivated anyway vs. Seattle, w/o much pressure or expectation with so many regulars missing. The pressure will be on Seattle, who won't have much to crow about even if they win.

    Just Sayin...

    i actually thought Altidore would be the one not to travel, not Gio. Whoever plays will be very hungry for a win. A bit surprised re Zavaleta though. He's young and not carrying a knock, as far as has been reported.

    I basically agree with the rest for the four. As a fantasy MLS player, it's brutal and I'm drafting a strongly worded letter.

    I'm ok with those who didn't travel. Zavaletta has played every minute of every game for TFC this season. I'd rather have those four fresh for the Columbus game.

    Endoh is the current backup there. He doesn't have any other position in our 3-5-2. That is a weak link for us, while LWB is a strength.

    After we are fully healed at centreback, I wonder if one of Morrow or Edwards gets moved over to the right..? That would be a great pairing eh

    I think that we have a good chance this game, we are away, so in that sense, we have to fly over to Seattle. We're playing the team that is sponsored by Xbox, in their humongous stadium, its so crazy to play there, however, what I truly, meant, was that, we have a great team this season, and were continuing the battle to the United States tommorow in Honor and pride, and what I think is we have to Dine in Hell.

    I'd be surprised if it's not Morrow, as he can use both feet. Jozy and Tosaint ricketts up top, Cooper in for vasquez, or Osorio if Cooper is on the shit list (his last two appearances were kinda shit).

    Morgan back in the frame for tomorrow? I'd be testing out a park the bus approach tomorrow 4-5-1 with Ricketts starting and Altidore on the bench. The Seattle fans deserve a damp squib of a miserable game. We have no obligation to entertain those bastards. 0-0 after 85 minutes and a Ricketts counter attack to win late.

    I feel with Seba, Victor, Zava and Benita resting at home the lineup will look something like this:

    Bono
    Haggs -- Hernandez -- Mavinga
    Morrow -- Chapman -- Bradley -- Delgado -- Edwards
    Ricketts -- Jozy

    Subs:
    Spencer for Jozy -- 65'
    Cheyrou for Bradley -- 75'
    Osorio for Chapman -- 75'
    maybe one of the young defenders for Haggs (depends on how the game is going)

    Bench: Irwin, Alseth/Aubrey, Endoh, Cooper, Cheyrou, Spencer, Osorio

    Seems I think about that save almost every day.

    Should there be a name for this syndrome? Alti-Frei-tis?

    I was so far off with my lineup assumptions for this game, Now I hope to see some Canadians get quality minutes. More Chapman, Ricketts, Edwards and JHams

    With Vazquez out I'd like to see Chapman get a start but I expect it's going to be Cooper and Osorio.

    Larson is implying it is Chapman in, actually

    This looks like it will be a pasting 3 4 nothing to Seattle, hope I'm wrong though because taking a pasting like that sometimes takes awhile for a team to recover and can spill into the next few games. Does this resting of players happen in the NHL where they play like over 80 regular seasons games, I'm not much of an NHL fan so anyone who follows it know?

    It's now heavily a part of the NBA. NHL not so sure.

    I think we will be okay. It's a deep team.
