There’s an old, lazy cliché in sports which dictates that any team in crisis can fire their coach to turn things around mid-season. Any kind of struggles that can’t be easily, empirically explained? Must be coaching.
Which brings me to the current state of Toronto FC. Through the course of their 4-3 loss on the road to Minnesota United, I followed the utter chaos that is the #TFCLive discussion thread on Twitter. Fans are, quite understandably, upset at how TFC have been playing recently. There’s no denying the team is slipping well below the standard they set last season.
