    I’m guessing we have the same lineup as the one against the Impact but insert Gallardo for the Shaff and Oso for Deleon.

    Red Bulls 5 points ahead of TFC, but I see this game as quite winnable against a critical Eastern Conference side. It won't be easy though.

    2-1 for TFC is my hope.

    That's a line-up I can get excited about as well.

    Agreed. Delgado for Fraser has been a change I've wanted to see for a quite a while now, I see no reason for Marky to be constantly starting right now.

    I thought that Vanney was trying to implement at 4-3-3, so I think a more likely formation would include:

    -----------Westburg----------
    Auro-Omar-Mavinga-Morrow
    --Osorio--Bradley--Pozuelo--
    Gallardo---Jozy---Shafft/Endoh

    That’s true but they have used the 4-2-3-1 lineup quiet a bit and last game.

    Vanney might wait another match to introduce Gallardo.

    Plus will he get Mullins some action after a few days of training and getting familiar with his new teammates.

    Maybe rotate him in with Omar on the weekend? Or even start him wed at CB with Omar. Mavinga needs to rotate in and out due to his injury problems.

    Our starting eleven and bench is beginning to resemble a club that might be able to come out of the Eastern Conference in the post season, if we can stay relatively healthy.

    We need Sebastian. If seba comes back we can complete with LAFC

    No thanks, we need a winger more than a striker. What kind of winger could you get with the money for Seba?

    Agreed. But the trick is to get one. Easier said than done

    Didn’t they play Pozuelo immediately? Likely to do whatever they did with him with Gallardo I would think.

    I’m looking forward to a warm MLS Cup Final in LA November 10th. I think that this squad can compete with LA once we get some consistency and avoid injuries.

    Pozeulo was in mid season when he came. Gallardo is in preseason.

    And just a reminder - Gallardo is a right sided forward. He's not a Shaff replacement.

    He can play both wings.

    They mentioned both that he can do that (great for flexibility) and that he's intended for the right wing, so it's both true that he's not intended to be a Shaff replacement and that he could be a Shaff replacement.

    Just got this from TFC. Hard enough to get down to BMO especially for weekday games already.

    No Parking Available at BMO Field on Wednesday, March 17th or Saturday, March 20th

    Plan your travel to the match accordingly as there will be no parking at Exhibition Place for the games on July 17th and 20th due to major conferences and events. As a result we highly encourage the use of public transit and suggest leaving early so you can be at BMO Field for Kick off.

    You’d think they could at least get the dates right in the header...

    On a TFC-related note now: I’d expect to see Gallardo in the lineup for Wednesday.

    I'd sit Pozo or play him as a sub.

    He's going to burn out real soon if his minutes are not managed better.

    He's played too many mins IMO if he needs to last till end of season

    Burned out by the playoffs is no good. Hopefully they learned from past experience with other players. Unfortunately where we sit in the table adds pressure just to get into the playoffs. I could see them sitting him more if we had some kind of cushion between us and the playoff line.

    Pozo said in his interview this week that he feels good, he's adjusting his training to handle the load rather than lightening the playing. As long as they are on top of it and he's fine I don't see a problem. Hopefully they are monitoring him carefully.

    Of the two games, Saturday would be the more likely game to rotate players.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~

    Petrescu is the ref. Expect a fiesty first half with a lot of rough tackles followed by a few cards in the second.
