I was at the game on the weekend, the atmosphere going in was not that great. You can feel it in the air no one on the team believes they will make the playoffs. I am sure of this. If you watch these guys play there are only a few men on the team that play with any sort of urgency. Dero clearly wants to prove that this team belongs in the playoffs. Nana Attakora has an undying love of solid play. Aside from that everyone else is a one man team out for personal stats or acceptance.
I liked the play of Lesley Felinga, he handled the ball well and looked like he belonged. It is to bad they waited so long to start this guy. You can not expect a guy to gel with the team so late in the season.
Barrett looked like Barrett. I truly believe we should keep this guy he is still a young fella and maybe with better coaching he will provide us with some exciting play in seasons to come. This season was way to unstable for any players playing up front. No rhythm was set because of the coaching staffs inability to show confidence in any of the strikers up front.
I found Cummins said something interesting about his limited substitute options. He talked about not having "a defensive midfielder on the bench." But wasn't Amadou Sanyang there? And didn't the young Gambian make three starts at defensive midfielder just a few weeks ago, with reasonable effectiveness by most accounts?
The nice thing about the weekend is that New England lost against Columbus so that still gives us playoff hopes. The Revolution in the last 2 games need to beat Columbus and Chicago. 2 teams that they definitely will struggle with.
Let the playoff PRAYERS continue!
Here's the highlights of the game.

O'Brian White, Sanyang, and Gomez Impress...
Toronto once again looks like a team that can not be beaten. Unbelievable performance's put in by the rookie on Saturday as TFC sported a line-up that included SIX rookies! TFC also moved up 2 spots in the MLS power rankings... Awesome. I spent the weekend at the cottage and had to spend most of yesterday catching up on my soccer news so instead of going on a long spiel about how I hope TFC can keep it up you can check out these articles I have found online.
If you watched the opening weekend of the EPL you would have noticed Arsenal looked AWESOME!! what a great weekend. They beat the shit out of Everton 6-1.
Also I found this funny Beckham Landy-D comic... some good jokes here.
