One down 3 to go......
I was about to say we don't play the style that's going to get goals today - can't expect to connect a lot of quick passes on this pitch, goals are going to come from set pieces and crosses.
Nice header from Hamilton. I think that needs to be the gameplan here. Get the ball wide and fire crosses in. Playing through the middle is gonna be a challenge.
Hamilton wearing number 7 seems weird to me.....
Well, we look a little more hungry tonight.
Okay, nice to see us adjust the formation and not look like a last place MLS team. Let's keep it up.
This game is begging for someone who can shoot from right outside the box. Fuck they are coughing up so many balls we should have had 3 by now.
Nice, thank you.
OMG, Wileman thinks Pozuelo is Belgian.
Are the iniebriatti back? Thought I saw their flags/scarves after the first goal
This is possibly the worst pitch I’ve ever seen.
It’s 80% sand. This pitch is sand.
Who was it that said VV left because of the pitch? Anyone think that’s far fetched now?
To be fair its been a shit winter and its February.
If we keep knocking on the door, we are bound to bag a few. Looking good
I'm liking DeLeon.
"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
Hamilton has always been more skilled than Boyd; Boyd's big thing was his speed combined with strength. He's faster than Jozy, or he was before he got crocked. Hamilton went to Portugal because big clubs were scouting him after the Tottenham game and they wanted to see if he was ready to go, which clearly he was not. The knock was always work-rate, although he always looks like he's hustling to me. He knows where to be, he just wasn't there often enough, basically, in training.
What is Mavinga doing smh.
Why so much sand???
Much better from TFC. We really could have had 3 goals. with Jozy playing - we’d probably have 3.
Hamilton took the goal well - should have started last week. Deleon looks a player. the pitch is brutal - it’s barely playable..ball doesn’t roll. we meed a quick goal in the second half. would have really made it something if we had taken. second.
it is possible.
Jozy staying?! Another 4 years?! Please be healthy!!!
Definitely a good first half from Hamilton. The only thing that has let him down that half is the interplay with the other attackers. He's trying to do the right thing, laying it off for 1-2's and the sort, but they're not on. Sometimes he's just got to wait or turn to his blind side and fire it.
That said, Akinola seemed to be the reference point up top at times so they're a good pairing, surprisingly.
As I just reported on TSN multiple sources have confirmed to me that Jozy Altidore & Toronto FC have agreed to terms on a new deal that would run through the 2022 season. This isn’t official yet but an agreement is in place for the star striker to remain with #TFCLive
If we keep going like this and they keep sitting back, we should score more. Just don't know if it can be 3 more.
