Nice to see them convert a penalty. Not sure what Insigne was thinking when Bernardeschi played him in all alone and he tried to cut it back into traffic.

Herdman has made some major coaching errors the last two games, costing TFC two wins in the process

I didn't see the game.  Could you please elaborate?

I'm still of the opinion that Herdman is trying to make chicken salad out of chicken turds.

No problem. Simply, letting Osorio play the full 90 min when he was easily the worst player on the pitch. Very sloppy and constantly caught in possession. This guy is suppose to be amazing at ball retention but he couldn’t do it against a last place Chicago side. 🤣

So we managed to score and even covert a penalty for a change.  That’s a step forward. 

Unfortunately, a tie wasn’t enough to get from this game.  We aren’t out of the playoffs, but this did not help.

We are now at +15 on the season.  Up next a RBNY team that is ahead of us in the standings but actually has fewer wins.

TFC’s season will be officially over on Wednesday, as they will be eliminated from playoff contention by then. The Saturday game will literally be a friendly for TFC and a warmup game for Miami’s MLS Cup run.

TFC this season have had a history of running out of steam in the 2nd half and giving up goals very late. In a must-win game, he waited too long to put available fresh legs on the field and predictably, instead of putting the game away by adding a second goal, they let Chicago take the initiative, got scored on very late and then Herdman throws on 2 subs even later to desperately regain the lead. They were perhaps unlucky not to score after they made those extremely late subs as they had some excellent chances in the 5-6 minutes of injury time but with all of the games and travel, those available subs should have been made earlier - even 5-10 minutes earlier might have made all the difference.  This has been a pattern all season, the last live match I attended had the exact same problem (only it led to a loss, rather than a draw).

As for the game before that, there didn’t seem to be any taking into account the reality of the Championship being decided on PK’s - ironically a player suspended for the Fire match (and who thus could have played a bit more on Weds) was brought on late in order to not take a PK

Result and details of the Sun Sept 29/24 MLS NEXT Pro game between Toronto FC II and Chattanooga FC played at York Lions Stadium. TFC II's last home game of this season and not the scoreline they wanted.
