    Will be interesting to see who is up front for the Reds on Saturday after this busy week for the Reds, sure we will see Tosaint at some point.

    Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!

    Time to see Ager from now on in each in every game... either as a starter (preferable) or as a super sub playing at least 25 minutes.
    It's a nonsense keeping such a player on the bench any more, he had a ton of time to adapt until now, since joining the team.

    IMO after the next 4 games he's in, we will know for sure he's up to the hype when he was signed, or he'll be more like a bust (semi-bust or total bust - for these to know we'll need at least 10 games).

    He was most likely in the plans on Tuesday but with Morrow and Mavinga needing to be subbed I think that threw a big wrench in Vanneys plan. I fully expcet to see him start Saturday

    Hmmm, you would've thought... But Vanney brought in Vasquez who was not at full fitness.

    Totally agree. We couldn't really make any offensive subs in that game due to bad luck so the one offensive sub we were able to do justly went to Vazquez over Aketxe.

    Going by Vanney's comments I don't know if we will see alot of rotation to be honest. Sounds like he wants the team to get as many games together still to gel so they are more ready for the next CCL round.

    I think he'll get a start pretty soon. Delgado has had a couple of bad games in a row.

    A lot depends on formation. If we play the 442 diamond he'll have an easier time getting in than the 352, unless Osorio plays himself out. Vanney can't very well move players that are working well together.

    hype material

    “Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.

    I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’

    And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

    I would not start Vasquez or Altidore on that pitch (if you want to call it that). Visions of Foxborough and Jose pulling his hammy. Ager Aketxe must acclimatize eventually - why not this game (the pitch?). Let him start in this crazy MLS carpet game. If Greg plans on using depth only in the case of injury, many players are going grow frustrated. Just saying.
    "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

    I wouldn’t rotate the whole line-up but def some.

    Bono; Auro, Hagglund, Zavaleta, VDW; Bradley, Delgado, Hasler, Aketxe; Ricketts, Giovinco

    Irwin, Morgan, Moor, Chapman, Osorio, Hamilton, Jozy on the bench

    Would be nice to see Hamilton and Chapman off the bench, maybe Jozy as well.

    Let Mavinga, Morrow and Vazquez fully recover (would normally say if they’re decent play them but that turf is pure shit). Start Jozy on the bench looked like he needed a break during the Tigres game.

    We have only two games for the starting XI to work together before the America game.

    Other than the second half of the Tigres game at BMO, we have not looked 100% right.

    We will go full best XI, I am certain. They need live game action.

    I'm surprised, this game will be on CTV (as well as TSN). Cord-cutters rejoice!

    Game Day!

    I write this as I'm waking up at a friend's cabin in the middle of nowhere south of algonquin park. Will be able to stream the game this afternoon, and have a fine selection of non-alcoholic beers to enjoy.

    Really intrigued as to the starting 11 we might see today. Not worried in any case with our deep and talented roster.

    Agreed.

    Liga MX has the advantage of being well into their season and fully syncing... the only way to counter that is to play the best 11 until the match-up with America.

    You are right. But. We had overuse injuries to Morrow and Mavinga, and players like Axetke and Ricketts will play a part in the CCL and need to be ready. So I wouldn’t be surprised with changes either.

    I really hope we see Ager Aketxe start. He's to good not to be starting, especially if Vazquez is on the bench.

    Jozy gets gassed so easily ...looking at the last 2 tigres matches he's out of it by the 60th min or so.

    Give Osorio, Delgado, Altidore, Vazquez, Mavinga and Morrow rest. Play Van Der Weil, and Ager to get them more minutes in our system. Play the 3-5-2.

    Interesting but too offensive in the midfield. And who is the hold up player? That’s not Ricketts strength. Would be fun though.

    Hamilton could replace Altidore

    Because big games are the only times he gives 100% for 100% of the match and he lacks the stamina for that

    Like the lineup. We need to see how Aketxe fits in with the starters. Good to see Morgan getting a shot as well.

    Wow. Morgan.

    i am thrilled to be wrong about this, just because I love Ashtone.
