Toronto FC vs. Columbus Crew: 3 takeaways
"Our time will come. It'll turn," coach John Herdman insisted after TFC suffered their sixth straight loss on Saturday.
A season that started with such promise is slipping away from Toronto FC.
After picking up 10 out of a possible 15 points from its first five games, TFC have earned a meagre 14 points from a possible 54 in the 18 games they have played since.
An embarrassing 4-0 road loss to the Columbus Crew on Saturday extended the Reds' losing streak to six games. Toronto is also winless in its last nine with just one victory in its previous 12 outings, and is now clinging to the ninth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference after being in the top four mix in May.
"Our time will come. It'll turn," coach John Herdman insisted.
Here are my three major takeaways from Saturday's contest.
