Already? Oh boy....at least we know the Toros will be going up against Club America next week so we can send our starters to Canada to lose...2-0
Watch us play second team to rest players for the Leagues cup game. I voted for Dynamo Win. It has to happen sometime. Right? Right?
i mean does it matter anyways? we can travel back in time and dress Johann Cruyff's 1970 Dutch team and Cabrera would still find a way to use Kevin Garcia.

Hairston again? So, what the heck is going on with Memo? What is the latest on his injury? Will he play again this season? At least Garcia and Tommy Mac aren't starting, so WC is pretending to go for a point here.
So, these "starting lineups" that are posted are created by media departments based on past lineups without any consultation with the coach. There are times when they list starting players not even available. Having said that -- this being a road game -- it would not surprise me to see Hairston, Garcia and McNamara all starting. Especially Hairston with Elis unavailable.
We play better with Memo and without Quito Wilmer gets the win despite poor substitutions in Ticonderoga half Not having Bradley and Altidore does not work for TFC when they are trying to possess and pump crosses into the box. Too little too late.
Nice. 3 road points. Maybe that gets the team going better on the whole. One thing I like is that clearly the RGV players have to handle the midweek friendly ... right? Nice to see Manotas get a goal. I was starting to get worried about him. Good for Memo to get an assist.
This low block by dropping everyone back is not being played correctly. Players are too passive and static giving attackers the chance to get into space first and to make the reactions of the defenders to open up space In more dangerous areas.
Road win! Road win! Road win!!! Sometimes you just don't believe your own eyes! Im so happy right now I can't even type or even think straight! These footballers we have, just after a prison raping in midweek our guys come back and just shut down a Toronto side in their own house! Struna and Fig! Our finishing! Tommy Mac to slot home from that angle! And this without Elis! DALE DYNAMO! !!
Goddamn right DALE DYNAMO!!! Damn wins feel great! And a potential goal of the year candidate for Manotas, what a beauty!!!
I'm not going to think to much into this win. Memo coming back and looked good doing it. Manotas with a one man effort against 4 guys was spectacular to watch live and should be a candidate for goal of the year. 3 points on the road is big. We still have a lot of work to do.
I don't think it was insulting as Glenn put it as much as it was he played everyone in the conference game on Wed vs. RBNY and was going to go to the reserves this match, although he sat 5 of his best 7 players. Really was a handful of counters and Toronto probably controlled the play as the Dynamo tried to bunker in. Glad that 2nd Toronto goal was disallowed due to offsides or it would have been a long final 10 minutes.
Memo is about a million times more useful than Hairston out there, and McNamara looked better centrally. Weak lineup by TFC, but not like this team has beaten weak lineups on the road before, so good job.
To me we have reverted into positional defense as opposed to man marking. Basically becomes a zone. If you sit down between the lines of the zone..... I also feel like we haven't done as good of a job of the defensive 442 that patched defensive issues. Struna is getting burned. I am sure the Dynamo thought leaders have settled on Struna but the past few games he's the one losing his men, him and AJ. Figueroa has also been less effective but I'm sure he has a knock or two.
TFC blew that off, everyone has to rotate now, maybe they thought based on form they could send the second team out against a struggling team and still get a tie. "Insult" is emotionalizing a contest, take your result.
