TFC Talk: John Herdman issues stern warning after latest loss
Toronto FC's coach didn't mince words about the team's drive for a playoff berth following Saturday's defeat to D.C. United.
Coach John Herdman didn't mince words after Toronto FC's 3-1 home loss to D.C. United on Saturday.
Herdman felt TFC lacked urgency and were too complacent against D.C., especially in a match against an Eastern Conference rival that is trying to catch them in the table.
He also warned that if the club is going to qualify for the playoffs that everybody has to be much better.
"As a staff collectively, as a player group, we have to die on the pitch and put everything out there for the fans, for each other to reach our goal. And I think we just didn't feel it. I didn't feel like we were all there ready to die for that performance ... If we really want to reach what I think we are capable of, we’ve got to die for it. We’ve been on a decent run and tonight again it’s that Jekyll and Hyde TFC," Herdman stated.
In the latest TFC Republic video blog, we examine Herdman's post-game comments and what they mean for Toronto FC going forward.
