We are in the early stages of Toronto FC MLS season 2023, and you must decide whether the Reds’ glass is half empty or half full. This analysis is based on the Red’s current  7-game unbeaten streak in games where they took early leads and sometimes gave up late goals. It would have been less troublesome had the problem for Coach Bob Bradley stopped there, but his team has also given up late equalizers. While contemplating a fix to the problem, his team came from behind twice and showed the character needed to score a late equalizer in time added to end the last match.

Sporting a 1-1-6 record after eight games, it seems like Coach Bradley has some work to do to get his players to give a sustained effort for 90+  minutes. The Reds are yet to gel as a team to withstand momentum changes in a game, and some say the jury is out on whether Coach Bradley can build on the momentum of the last game. And while I think he can, with all his coaching experience and expertise with US Soccer and LAFC, he may be better served to concentrate on improving the team player personnel.

The Reds’ next game is on Saturday, April 22nd, away to Philadelphia Union, and the scouting report says that they split their head-to-head encounter in 2022, with the home team winning. However, going in with a 7-game unbeaten streak should crystalize in the minds of the Reds players, and with that mindset, they should be able to continue the momentum from the last game.
