Strong first half. Disappointing second half. TFC clearly showing the effects of missing way too many key players. Moore, Mavinga, Haggelund, Zavaletta, Morrow, Altidore, Hassler & Vasquez all out, and I can't see wanting to risk bringing any of them back to play on the turf on Saturday vs NE.
If TFC were fully healthy, I wouldn't rule it out. But with the number of injuries to key players and the hole that we're already in, a repeat Supporters Shield is not going to happen. At this point, I hoping that: a) We are able to rack up enough points to get us into the playoffs b) We have a full healthy squad at the end of the season to take us far into the playoffs.
It is disappointing in this particular game that TFC dominated in everything except the score. More generally, I'm disappointed insofar as I expected the team that conquered Mexican teams and nearly won the CCL to come back to the league and start smashing teams.
