Will Toronto ever score? Obviously they will, but even despite putting together some solid stretches of soccer, they never really threatened on goal. And this is with Kevin Hartman in goal. Anyone could notch one against him.
Eddie’s goal was weak. Greg Sutton is just not an MLS caliber keeper, there’s no reason to get beat on a slow roller like that.
Dichio seemed to provide a person to play through at the front, which gave Toronto someone who wouldn’t just dribble to the middle of nowhere and pass it to the touch line.
Marvel Wynne needs to just be planted by the flag during practices and just knock in crosses for a few hours. He’s fast and seems to be a solid defender whose natural talent makes up for his marginal soccer skills. He’s definitely lacking in the quality department expected of a previous #1 pick, especially at his age. If he can refine his crosses, he’ll be trouble coming out of the back, but right now, Toronto is desperately lacking on that side of the field. He’s got a nice throw in though.
Toronto’s attack really fell apart once Welsh left. They no longer had anyone who looked dangerous roaming the wings, so KC was able to shut them completely down.
Esky again looks to have flashes of skill, but will he be able to consistently put those flashes together?
Mauricio Navarro is absolutely shit at being a referee.
Kansas City seemed to be sleeping through the return match, doing just enough to not lose.
The fans were spectacular.
