The Montreal Impact squad should be happy they’ve a chance to address recent form with Wednesday evening’s second-leg tie in the Canadian Championship looming large.
It’s all of a sudden become a tricky fixture. An almost ‘can’t win’ scenario, for if they do they’ll meet the very least of their fans’ expectations, and if they don’t, well, not so sure those consequences need spelling out.
What should have been a run of the mill affair is likely now to be riddled with nerves and tension. There’s possibly even an anxiety to get this one out of the way and look towards Saturday, when at least if they beat Philly, people will sit up and take notice.
