Looking to end Toronto FC's five-game winless streak (0-3-2), coach John Herdman is challenging his team to finish games as well as it starts them. Fourteen of the 32 goals Toronto has conceded this season have come in the last 15 minutes of games.
Looking to end Toronto FC's five-game winless streak , coach John Herdman is challenging his team to finish games as well as it starts them.
"I think in every game we've played, we've started strong," said Herdman."We have a real problem with these last 30 minutes of games. And unless we fix that, we're going to find ourselves in a tough spot." Not to mention the Red Bulls are unbeaten in their last nine league meetings with Toronto, which includes six straight wins at Red Bull Arena. New York is 16-2-2 against Toronto at home.
Disciplinary issues have not helped Toronto in the dying minutes of games. TFC finished the D.C. game with nine men after both Federico Bernardeschi and Nicksoen Gomis were both sent off for second yellows. Toronto's subs did not have the same impact. Herdman said data showed that his players' metres per minute"fell off a cliff in the 60th minute."
Captain Emil Forsberg, second in scoring with eight goals, is questionable with a foot injury. Schwarz says the Swede won't start but may be an option off the bench.
