Toronto FC

Well the Reds are still in the hunt for the MLS Cup. After an exciting 3-1 win over New York, TFC has shown they can still play. Two goals from Barrett, one from Ibrahim (only 16 years old!) and they still might have a chance.

A big problem this year has been coach Carver's constant changes to the line up. One week its Dichio and Guevara up front, the next its Carl Robinson and Rohan Ricketts. Throw in Johann Smith, Nana Attakora-Gyan and occasionally the young Ibrahim, and you have, well, a rather mixed up squad. Not that I don't believe in change. No no no. Change is good. Change is great. One player one week gets a chance, he wants to do well. Another week its another player's turn to go for goal and he wants to do well. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. There just needs to be a little more consistency.

Above all however this game proved that TFC has a great squad and can compete with the best in the MLS. When they bring their A-game, as they did in last night's performance in the Big Apple, the boys from the 416 and can really pull the rabbit out of the hat. However they'll need to keep that up. 3 games left, and TFC sits in 7th place with 31 points. 3 wins on their part, and a loss/tie on the part of a couple of the other teams in front, and it's a go. Let's see what they can do.
