    God, I hope Piatti can get healthy. This team needs better wing play.

    Tajouri-Shradi always seems like he hurts TFC.

    I’d give Nelson 10 minutes at the end of this. Achara has run his socks off, not too much to lose.

    Yeah, Nelson on for Achara and maybe Mullins for the final couple minutes.

    Thankfully Vanney only plays experienced players like Achara.

    Good win. Could have had couple of more goals. Never really felt threatened by NYCFC.

    Reminds me of Benjani.

    For the love of God start Richie at right wing. Achara at left wing until Piatti is back. I expect Achara to play striker when Jozy is out as well.

    Love it. New York is a top 3 team in the east and we just stifled them.

    Agreed. Gallardo did not impress, and I view Laryea as more of a fullback than a winger Maybe we should have kept Benezet

    He’s a good super sub with that pace. Although not unfair to say it’s a toss-up between Endoh and Laryea for the first 11 place.

    Nice debut from Achara, he improved as the game went along.

    We didn't give up much tonight. What I'd give for healthy seasons from Gonzalez and Mavinga...

    One thing in this game can not be taught - scoring.

    Achara scores poacher goals.

    Work in progress on the rest but....he figures how to score.

    Gonzalez is the best CB in the league.

    Wanna mention Osorio. I have never been a big fan, but the way he has played these last two games has really impressed me. He is a better all around player than I gave him credit for.

    Him and Marky controlled the midfield excellently today. Big props.

    The main thing I liked about Achaea is that he looked composed. He played within the system well and didn't do anything wild or problematic.

    Pretty dominant performance today. The score flattered NYC.

    Very impressive debut for Achara. He has maintained his form from pre-season.

    Not a great game for Gallardo but we know a) he was recently injured, b) he's still adjusting to team play. Time will tell whether he's any good for sure, obviously has speed and was regarded as a decent player in Venezuela. Only question is whether he will be here.

    Pitch looks great and a good turn out at BMO today. Was able to get in with a screenshot of my ticket, no problems.

    Agreed, glad someone mentioned that. Pretty damn tidy game playing out of position, impressive.

    I know everyone is hyped with Achara, but I couldn't help but noticed he has the same problems as Shaff. Passing and ball control needs work, but he has promise. I was actually happy with Gallardo and thought the team trusted going to him more than Achara for creating offense, and he was actually playing defense.

    What delay? I didn't notice anything in the stadium. I didn't check the time at kick-off, but they looked on schedule for 5:07 pm at around 5 pm.

    The crowd was better than usual at 5 pm - I think a lot of people came earlier, because it's the first match, or with concern about the new ticketing system. The westbound GO arriving at 4:20 pm was standing room only - more crowded than usual (though I'm usually on the later train).

    There was no virtually line-ups at the gates at 4:25. Seemed to be going smoothly at the gate. What was it like closer to 5 pm? Perhaps not the cluster-ford I feared.

    Achara's situational awareness is really good. It's like he has a sixth sense and knows exactly who is around him at any time. His back and forth exchange with Poz was fun to watch. Impressive debut.

    Overall we looked composed out there.

    Yeah, something about not wanting to risk the beer lines in this weather.

    I do want to give Gallardo the benefit of the doubt though. First real game in a while, so let's see in 5 or 10 hames where he is at.

    on the winning goal he started the play with a full running soft pass. (Impressed the hell out of me before the goal ) Then ran past everyone to be on the receiving end of Laryea cross.Quick learner .

    Achara fluffed his first couple of passes. Guess nerves on his debut. Rest of the way was fine.
