Let’s rewind to Toronto FC’s final match of the 2022 season when they took on the Philadelphia Union in Chester, Pennsylvania. The MLS campaign was not a memorable one, and neither was the 4-0 drubbing they were apart of on that Sunday afternoon at Subaru Park.
Coach Bob Bradley had to rotate the starting lineup for that match. Both Domeinco Criscito and Lorenzo Insigne were struggling with injury, while Richie Laryea served a one-match suspension and Deandre Kerr missed out as well. Instead of opting for the regular 4-3-3 which was used often during of the second half of the season, Bradley switched to a 3-5-2.
