Touchline TFC

Goodnight 😴 #TFCLive

In hindsight, maybe him picking up a red card in the second half was a blessing in disguise. I know he was able to continue playing, but a game off isn’t the worst thing after being on the end of a challenge like that. Pereira will likely get his first start next week. #TFCLive

I can’t believe Raheem was able to carry on after that challenge. Full speed, followed through with the studs showing — and basically folded his ankle. An extremely dangerous challenge. Raheem has been a warrior since returning. #TFCLive

Josh Sargent feels relieved after scoring his first goal for Toronto FC ⚽️💪 “Great to get a goal, and hopefully more to come.” #TFCLive

Robin Fraser is happy with what he saw from Matheus Pereira in his Toronto FC debut 🇧🇷✨ “He’s a good player. He’s a very good player and we’re definitely excited to have him healthy.” #TFCLive

Robin Fraser shares an injury update on Djordje Mihailovic 😕 “I don’t think we really know yet, to be quite honest.” #TFCLive

Robin Fraser reflects on his team’s chaotic comeback victory 😅👏 "Obviously, really, really proud of the response of the group." #TFCLive

Other notes… • Another game-winner from a corner • Richie completely took over the match in the 2nd half. He had both the referee and Colorado on strings. • Pereira is gonna be a game changer down the left flank. Positive debut. 👏 • Oso & Cifu worked HARD #TFCLive

Enjoy your long weekend! #TFCLive

Josh Sargent today: 1 Goal (Game-Winner) ⚽️ 1 Assist 🎯 2 Chances Created ✨ *His pressing is what led to the own goal… but we’ll give credit to Zack Steffen for that one* 😅 #TFCLive

@JeffreyPNesker I feel like it’s super unfair to the likes of Zimmerman and Kuscevic. It feels like they’re constantly left on an island defending a counter attack every few minutes. The high line doesn’t fit their profile. Once Nicksoen is back, maybe it’ll look a bit better.

@TouchlineTFC I agree. It was a glaring weakness and should have been addressed in-game. Mystified as to why it wasn’t. Best guess is RoFraze and Co. leaned into the chaos and bet on winning 5-4.

Usually you learn the most from your losses, today there’s a lot to learn from this win. It never hurts to gain three points while learning. I’ve got a feeling there will be a lot of film review going on next week. That high line NEEDS to be addressed. #TFCLive

@JeffreyPNesker All very good points. I won’t be too harsh about the in-game decisions. It was just a mess out there. My sticking point remains the high line. Columbus really hurt them on the counter and we saw it again today, even with a man advantage.

@TouchlineTFC It can be a weapon but not the only weapon. IMHO the in-game adjustments were mystifying. But can the gaffer, on either side, really account for the card-happy Referee, Flag-Happy assistant in the 2nd half, and players literally surfing on each other’s ankles throughout?

I’ll leave it at that. No reason to put a downer on what was an incredible and exciting comeback victory. Two consecutive comeback victories. A huge result while missing Djordje Mihailovic. They could have really used him with all that space out there today. #TFCLive

Jonathan Osorio has been terrific today. Incredible work rate. #TFCLive

Even with nine men, Colorado are getting in behind. This is unacceptable and needs to be addressed in training this week. #TFCLive
