Time off booked already, bring on Columbus!!!!
Invoice is available. $80 in 111 which is $5 less than last year.
Always knew that was going to be a tough series, much like this next one.
Assuming Altidore and Gio are both out, one would think that we will see Tosaint take up one of the forward spots... who else gets in?
Edwards?
Hamilton?
Spencer?
Endoh?
Or are we going to see a midfielder take up the spot like we've seen in the past with either Osorio, Vazquez or even Chapman.
Unlike in previous years, our midfield and wingbacks have the ability to get the forwards good looks on net and so we're not entirely reliant on our forward group. With that, I still think we can take something out of Columbus away. Enjoy the game for all you will be going!
Looking to fly out from Calgary to catch this one. Can anyone fill me in how you go about getting away supporters tickets in Columbus?
The starting forwards were Ricketts and Ben Spencer
"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff
wonder if we could get Seba and Jozy to come in the away end
The current Columbus team is much better than that team we played and with a hot keeper. They made some tweaks over the season and are playing pretty well. Still, I think we go for smash and grab on the road and bring it home for the win. But we should not take them lightly.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
3-6-1 for first leg if Jozy's red holds up.....plug the mid and hope Vasquez can send Ricketts through to nip one on a counter.....let's do this!
Benoit Cheyrou MUST be at least on the bench for the game in Columbus...
Marky Delgado needs to have a bounceback game
Play a 4-5-1 with Tosaint Ricketts as the sole striker
I'm guessing he moves Vazquez up top, but that's a big hole at AM. Vazquez unlocks Ricketts at AM, not up top. It was Vazquez' distribution that created most of the goals in that Columbus rout in May.
It is not inconceivable that Vanney will go to Spencer and Ricketts again. I don't know why Vanney rated Spencer over Hamilton, but he did, and he played them together several times, including against Columbus, whereas Ricketts and Hamilton never played together.

-------- Ricketts ----- Hamilton --------
--------------- Vasquez ----------------
Delgado -------------------------- Hasler
----------------- Bradley ---------------
Morrow - - Moor - - Hagglund - - Beita
---------------- Ricketts -----------------
--------------- Vasquez ----------------
Delgado ---------Bradley--------- Hasler
----------------- Cheyrou---------------
Morrow - - Moor - - Hagglund - - Beita
I'm guessing Vanney plays it safe and dresses a more defensive lineup. Play for a tie on the road and win your home game with everyone back.
If Jozy's red holds up, here's what I'm thinking....
------------------------Ricketts----------------------------
------------------------Vasquez---------------------------
Morrow------Cheyrou---------Delgado-------Beitashour
-------------------------Bradley---------------------------
-----Mavinga------------Moor-------------Zavaleta------
Do we have an update on Mavinga? Break is ahead so I am guessing won't be a major issue.
I think we see Ricketts in Jozy's role, Vasquez in Giovinco's role, Osorio in Vasquez's role. Otherwise, lineup remains the same.

I think Vasquez is the only guy on this team that can play "Vasquez's role".....if a "role" needs to be cut for this game, I feel it should be Giovinco's....go with just 1 up top.....
even in the line-up I posted, he's not in his usual "spot" but he can't play too high up the field either, otherwise his effectiveness is lessened....
Honestly we can win any game with one of Jozy, Giovinco or Vazquez on the pitch. We'll be okay.
