What a mess. TFC played for a new coach tonight , Paul
Mariner’s debut, but the same old team wore the shirt. A different formation as TFC returned
to the traditional 4-4-2, but the players seemed keen on demonstrating that
they can be beaten in any formation. The first half was hard to watch.
KC’s first goal was a case of horrible Toronto defending. The cross from the KC left wing eluded
at least two Reds and fell to an open target in front.
The second goal was a volley from as the KC defender was
able saunter onto a corner kick at the far post.
The Avila shot that managed to hit both posts just might be
the TFC moment of 2012.
The second half gave us a TFC with better shape, greater
grit and fire, but no goal scoring ability.
If the coaching change was intended to give TFC a new
direction, a fresh start so that
an element of optimism can be found before ticket renewal time is upon us, nothing
new seemed on offer in Kansas City tonight.
Paul Mariner in the post game interview on GOL TV deserves credit for not kicking his own team when they were down. However he may have been too proud and too pleased with a team that looks a long way from a road victory in 2012.
