I am pretty interested in seeing Kerr out there as the 9 with this group.

I hate to get ahead of myself, especially considering the last few years, but I feel pleasantly hopeful about this team.
Haha....well the key words were "if we continue where we left off". I don't mind being wrong in this case. I am glad we didn't continue where we left off. I was really having a hard time watching the games last year at a certain point. If they can be competitive I will take it this year.
Exactly. Nobody who predicted a loss in this game was wrong ... it was always caveated with "if Herdman can't affect change and if everything is the same as last year." So it seems like what he's doing is working. But we still have to reserve complete judgement until like 10 games in.
Regarding getting a striker. I understand and shared the general thought that there may be MLSE, as well as, MLS budget constraints at play. Yet, I wonder, other than roster benefits/implications around a 3rd DP for the club, if money is the primary driving concern; regardless of how believable and logical that reality seems so. Why? Well I keep asking myself how much has Herdman’s et al on-boarding cost? Suspect, so far, at least an amount between CAD3.5to5M. Maybe factions of the Board prefer and are trying to keep TFC a distressed asset for the foreseeable future?
“Toronto have violated the Mass Confrontation Policy for the first time this season, and an Official Warning has been issued to the club and head coach John Herdman.
Due to their roles in the mass confrontation, Toronto FC defender Richie Laryea and forwards Federico Bernardeschi and Lorenzo Insigne have been fined an undisclosed amount for inciting and/or escalating a mass confrontation.“

^No problem. I don’t care.
That was a bs non-call, that ref should have brandished yellow immediately.
I get that they are replacement refs, but I am glad to see our stars stand up for their teammate.

They were so generally poor that Busquets came out yesterday and admitted Marky didn't even touch him, and that it shouldn't have been a red, and that they probably wouldn't have tied the game without it.
After the LA/Miami game, Messi allegedly told the ref he was terrible. If you're a ref, is that the world's most stinging condemnation, when the best player in history thinks you should hang it up?
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
