It seemed like they had a disproportionate number of injury issues for a natural turf team. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingston Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I didn't get to watch the entire game. A loss is clearly a negative. I knew we'd lose eventually but thought we had a good chance to win this one first. A huge positive for JMR to get his first MLS goal. Considering how many appearances he has, I was surprised to realize it was his first. I was also impressed that the team continued to fight until the end. Last season this would have been over when New York took the lead. On the downside, we once again failed to score a "routine" goal. It was a great play by JMR off a nice pass on the goal we did get, but that's not a reproduceable approach to scoring. We need to be able to build up a play that results in a goal, not hope for low percentage opportunities. Also the injuries. Not sure why we so often seem to have key players out but it's not helpful. Last year game four was a win over Miami which brought us to 5 points on the season. We are currently at 7 so we are +2 on the year. costarg and An Observer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fil Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Why does it seem Toronto FC always seemed plagued with injuries? This goes back years ago when they played on hard turf.

Kingston Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Injuries aside, that was a good game. Great to see the team create so much offensively rather than rely on a single moment of brilliance to score. Although he did get a decent head on it, it was too bad Kerr didn't score following all those back-heel passes by the Italians; that would have been a highlight reel goal for sure. Last season game five was a draw away to San Jose to get us to six points. We are now at +4 on the season. rkomar and Ivan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 5 hours ago, BearcatSA said: Perhaps a good competition between him and Spicer for that spot? Considering that Laryea is also out (and for even longer than Insigne), I can see JMR staying in that spot, and perhaps Kerr playing where Insigne was since TFC still has a glut of unproductive #9's they need to get off the shneid who can play as a #9. Prince Owusu scored a goal last week that pretty much anyone reading this board could have tapped in, but perhaps it will give him some confidence. Most likely it won't make a difference to his quality on the pitch, but I've been wrong before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll see Marshall-Rutty remain in his spot at wingback replacing Laryea so I agree with you that Kerr might get shifted over, or Herdman choses to give his first overall draft pick an extended run of starts there.

Big_M Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 tied for second in the league in the number of players out for matchday 7 with 5 players out...miami has 7 and dallas and dc also have 5...feels like it could only grow or stay the same for the game next week at vancouver as at least 3-4 of these are still out for weeks...and then bc place is artificial turf...
