Hey Preki, You cant play defense with no defense

The Toronto FC pulled off a victory in their home opener thanks to a little luck, you would think that a team that had an extra player would be able to protect a lead but that was not the case as the TFC defense continues to have a hard time defending leads. The team last week blew up after going into the half with a 1-0 lead over New England and in the home opener let the Union tie the game before the half after Philadelphia was down a man to a red card. The home side did get lucky as Gargan blocked a shot late in the game to preserve the victory since the shot was targeted for the twine. The one thing that I have noticed so far this season and I know that I am not alone is that the Toronto FC can not play defense. Preki is suppose to be a defensive specialist and yes the season is still young and with the changing of faces it will take the team time to adjust to a new system but TFC's new signings have been burned and all but Adrian Cann have not brought many oo's or aa's from the fans. Preki may be a great coach and have a great system but do we have the players to play this system? This is a question that will be asked as the team continues its scary form on the defensive side and one that most fans hope can be solved but until then Preki, you can not play defense when you have no defense. Lets hope this motto is a short lived one.
