Match Day 1- Columbus @ TFC Sat March 3 1pm - Just Like Starting Over

[Initial B]

The more I think about what Vanney said about getting reps, the more I think he'll keep alot of the same starters as he has for the past two weeks. I foresee this starting lineup:

----------------Bono-------------------
vdW-----Moor----Mavinga----Morrow
--------------Bradley------------------
--Aketxe---Vasquez----Oso/Delgado
--------Altidore-----Giovinco---------

Bench: Akinola, Hamilton, Irwin, Auro, Hasler, Hagglund/Zavaleta

Is that going to be the best first team that Vanney can put out there?

This line up looks more realistic, although keep in mind Bono took some contact at the end of the game....hope he's ok.
Vanney is right to keep the chemistry going....I see VDW coming off the bench, like Mavinga did on Tuesday night and Auro starting.

As for the Jozy song.....absolutely a must!!

I would like to see this to start one game to see how it works. Can Aketxe cover as much ground as Osorio and Delgado though or is he more of a slower playmaker like Vasquez? We have seen Auro do it already but haven't see enough of Aketxe yet.

he seemed inclined to hassle and chase balls down, but thats not 90 minutes.

Vanney, please lock this in. With Tigres coming up; give this lineup 60 minutes together. Sub off Vazquez, Altidore and Bradley at the 60.
