Second game, second point.
Two difficult road games to start the season, and Toronto FC have themselves two points. For MLS, this is by no stretch is a poor return, especially to start the season.
Yet I don’t think many TFC fans (myself included) feel particularly convinced by what we have seen, especially after yesterday’s match in Philadelphia.
Offensively we were disjointed: rushed and forced passes replaced Toronto’s usual offensive brand of sustained, possession-driven pressure. The defensive stability we became so accustomed to last season was not evident. Frantic individual moments (and I am not just blaming Tsubasa Endoh here) and the Union’s effective exploitation of the space between the wing-backs and the centre-backs either side of Drew Moor left Toronto looking shaky, especially in the first half.
