Including the MLS Cup final, it has now been three games without a goal from open play. All three times, the opposition has thrown up a 4-2-3-1 formation. All three times, the opposition has planted giant, aggressive, central defenders in the middle. All three times, Sebastian Giovinco has been completely neutralized and Jozy Altidore routinely manhandled. Seems like the rest of MLS has figured out how to thwart our Reds. Seems like the rest of MLS is sharing the same piece of kryptonite.
On Saturday, against the Philadelphia Union, Toronto FC tried to launch a bit of an aerial assault to break the enemy’s lines.
