“I think early on we knew it was going to be a bit of tough sledding. And the hope all along was that when some of the new acquisitions came during the summer that we’d get on a run and hopefully qualify for the playoffs,” Manning said. “And we had a good little run there. We were 4-1-3 through eight games then we had a very tough family situation with Lorenzo, which took a lot of the steam out of the team. It was a tough moment for our club. And then we ended the season very poorly.
First-year TFC striker Jesus Jimenez scored a team-high nine goals in 2022, but both he and Ayo Akinola slumped terribly through the second half of the season. “We do have difference-makers now, but we still need to round out the team with some guys that help keep the ball out of the net, that help us not lose.”OSO GETTING HEALTHIER AND WILL GET WEALTHIER
“We’re working with each other, but I’ve always expressed that I don’t want to make any final decisions until after the World Cup. I’m just trying to focus on getting healthy.”“Oso’s an incredibly important part of the team,” he said. “I think he’s the only player this year when he started that we had a winning record.
