Philly were garbage against TFC on May 4, and the good guys won 3-0. Let's hope we can get 3 points!
I think both Bedoya or Medunjanin may be suspended with red cards from the game against Atlanta.
I'd like 6 points from the next two games.
We better get Bradley away from the CB position then.
We are exactly 8 points behind 6th place Orlando with a game in hand on them. Also have games in hand over Philly, Chicago and Montreal.
If the team can just get over this first hump In this Friday game and get some momentum, we can come home, beat DC and gather 6 points. Get 10 days off and hope to get everyone minus Altidore and Moor back for the beginning of the summer run.
Those teams I've listed, other than I think Orlando, have absolutely nothing on Toronto. New England also in 5th and they don't match up with us either.
Won't be easy but we have what it takes to make up all the way up to 5th, maybe even a bit higher.
As said before, Philly will be missing 2 key players and we were all over them at home with lots of pieces missing.
If there is a game to get us back on track, this one is it! I have a good feeling.
Maybe we will get to see Hernandez and Hagglund start in the back.

Philly have been playing really well lately and we have not been. They lost there last game but that was with only 9 players on the field. Unless we starting getting some of our starting defenders back I fear it will be more of the same.
At this point I'd rather see Liam Fraser step in at defence and put Bradley back in his defensive mid spot. We have to do something different.

I don't want to see Bradley anywhere near central defense, and I would rather see Hasler than Delgado of late on the pitch, last game when Delgado was subbed in It looked like TFC were playing backwards ffs

Season has been weird to say the least. Always wanted to vent after loses. But for some reason have confidence and faith still. Not as strong as it was earlier but enough to focus on July 1st onwards
Looking forward to a statement game
Bedoya confirmed out

This is how I feel. A weird season for sure...the extreme high of the CCL is keeping us hoping that the boys will turn it up and get into the Playoffs.
We went all in for CCL and fatigue/injuries took their toll. I feel like the quality of football is still there most of the time but it's just hard to forge chemistry with rotating players from the B squad.
I hope we see a time this season where we have a full strength XI. I haven't lost an ounce of confidence in our starting XI...(Ok maybe a bit Bono).
Hopefully we see something like this:
----------------------------Bono---------------------------
--Auro---VDW-----Hagglund--Hernandez---------Tefler------
--------Fraser------Bradley-------Osorio------
-------------Vazquez----Giovinco-------------------------
With Zavaleta, Hasler and maybe Morrow getting some game time. I see Akinola made the bench last game--would also be good to see what he has to offer! And Chappie has played well recently too...
In fact, maybe this would be better:
----------------------------Bono---------------------------
--VDW---------Hagglund--Hernandez-----Auro-------
---Chapman-----Fraser------Bradley-------Osorio--------
-------------Vazquez----Giovinco-------------------------
staple delgado to the bench?
Philly lives by the banger Sapong. I'm pretty sure Hagglund starts with Zavaletta ready to come in if need be. Accam has had one goal this year, which he got in the US Open Cup on Tuesday; they havn't been playing him but they might given the midfield red cards. If so, Auro zipping down that wing would be a good thing.
I'm looing for Vasquez to have a good night sitting in the hole in front of a weak back 4.
Kind of starting to like these Friday night games. Much easier to catch on TV than the Saturday ones with everything else that happens during the week.
So I'll take the other tack and hope for all 3 points to get into form for the Vcup.

Be warned
Philadelphia Union v Toronto FC
Talen Energy Stadium (8PM ET)
REF: BALDOMERO TOLEDO
AR1: EDUARDO MARISCAL
AR2: BRIAN DUNN
4TH: MARCOS DEOLIVEIRA
VAR: JORGE GONZALEZ
So chances of plentiful yellow and red cards is there as Toledo becomes the main attraction....we have been Toledo'd before.
Toledo. Oh crap.
2-1 loss. Giovinco scores. Vanney poor tactically again.

Bradley back in the midfield. Looks like 4-4-2 but Hasler in theory could be a WB.

Nice to see Warren Creavalle is still getting a pay cheque.
Philadelphia doesn't live by Sapong. He's good but Dockal, Picault, Burke and Ilsinho have more points than him in the last four league matches. Will be interesting to see how good they are centrally without Bedoya and Medunjanin
To clarify, I think the Union go well when Sapong is banging and the target man to lay off. Agree on Ilsinho - him in the middle will be interesting as he doesn't do defence much. I think there's going to be space in front of their back line.
On field advertising? Give that two giant thumbs down.
Wow, do we look shaky on the counter.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
Bradley give away...ugh.
He's playing really deep & there is nobody to link up to in front of him.
So many clumsy players like Creavalle in this league it’s amazing there aren’t more injuries
