So clearly not our first-choice squad, but not quite TFC2.
Let's go TFC 1.5!!!

They wouldn't have known the lineup 3 days ago. Obviously dealing with some borderline injury issues, so they would have made a late decision who to take on the charter. They might even have a couple of extra players along, and have decided about the full 18 even later.
Plus TFC's only advantage tonight is surprise. I couldn't care less about the impact on betting. And many of the lineup changes were clear in advance.
The team looks better tonight than in many other games with a more normal lineup. Best chances on goal; good workrate & pressure all over the park. Still unlikely to get a win out of this; Portland is bound to score at some point. But so far so good.
Wtf is Delgado doing? He’s lucky to be still on the field.
Bakero is really struggling. The timing and place of his runs is totally off. And his passes. Everyone else doing ok. EDIT: except Marky
Boyyyy oh boy did Delgado get away with that one. That's his third counter-attack stopping tackle and all three were on Chara... he should probably be off.
Delgado you fucking idiot you should be off right now
Definitely agree with Caldwell, Delgado needs to be off at half because he's guaranteed to get a yellow for any challenge because he should've gotten one there. But who comes on? No midfield on the bench
Bring on Zavs and go with the horrid Hagglund - Zavs combo with Bradley moving to midfield? Or Morgan for a 442?

Often I'm a Delgado defender, but take him off now.
Vanney you have a discipline problem, not for the first time in the last few weeks.
Janson's not playing like a guy worthy of DP status
Liking Fraser and Telfer so far.
Chapman has to stop playing it so damn safe. Take on the man on occasion, take some risks.
He’s just cycling the ball backwards every time.
Not a bad first half considering the circumstances. Obviously lacking some game breakers up top so getting a goal is looking like a real challenge.
Fraser looking real smooth in the middle.
Considering the lineup and the location (and timing) of this game, that was about as good a half as we could have hoped for....and yes, Delgado needs to be taken off now....
Great half all things considered. Very impressive.
Chapman doing the old Osorio of passing back each time. Kid needs a confidence boost. Bakero and Janson have been moving well. Pretty composed performance overall.
Marky has a horseshoe up his ass. We should be down to 10.
I think the guys need to change up their boots. So many guy losing footing, or not catching up to errant passes/deflections.
Agreed that Delgado should be taken off. That was one of the few times a ref break given in TFC’s favour. Impressed how TFC has held up, but odds are Portland will win.
