I would take a point from this game but would love it even more if we could sneak 3 points. I think the game hinges on how the defense copes with Drogba & Piatti. If we lose an early goal it could be a long afternoon
Great thing about MLS is that anyone can beat anyone on any given day. Let's hope it goes the way of TFC because it's long overdue.
What do we think the line-up will be?
----------------------Irwin----------------------
--Beitashour--Perquis--Moor--Morrow-------
--Endoh--Bradley-----Johnson---Osorio----
--------Altidore-----Giovinco-----------
or 4-3-3?
Clean sheet on the road last week... why mess with that.
We play the compact 4-4-2 and see if they can break us down. Should be an interesting match. If I was Montreal, I'd go with a 3-4-3 and dare Beitashour and Morrow to go forward.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Heading up to London,ON this weekend for a Tourney wondering of a good place to watch the match other then the Hotel?
Three points from this would be massive.
Are we really that worried about a team that's starting Eric Alexander and Kyle Bekker at CM? I don't think they're as good as people are hyping them up to be.
Gotta admit, Bekker has been surprising me. TFC has a history of playing okay players in the wrong position or in the wrong way such that they suck balls. Bekker is looking like a serviceable DM! Our use of him as a box to box was probably a misallocation. He has no business shooting at goal lol
I haven't seen enough to comment on his current play but the biggest issue with him previously was defensive work-rate. He would not dig in and challenge or chase down opposing players in the midfield when required. Frequently looked like he jogged behind the play. His offensive skill set in no way justifies a one-way player.
So I'm not sure how he'd be fitting in as a DM right now. That would seem contrary to a lot of what I've noticed previously.
Montreal have announced a sellout for this game.
GAME DAY
Weather in Montreal same as here. 11 degrees and mostly sunny at kick off time.
