The Chris Armas TFC era has been something of a mixed bag this season, and on the latest episode of Waking the Red Weekly presented by Footy Talks, James Grossi of TorontoFC.ca and MLSsoccer.com shared his thoughts on what the club has done wrong and right on the pitch early on and what Toronto FC fans should be keeping their eye on as the season progresses:
“It’s always a mix of factors that come together to see a team find a little bit of form after a rough start. But I think the thing that really stood out for me against Columbus was the way that they struck the right balance between being that hyperactive pressing side that we’ve heard so much from Chris Armas about, and finding those little moments to control the game in possession and to get their rest on the ball.”
