Saturday afternoon was the most uncomfortable Toronto FC have looked in a long time. It was understandable, really. The team Toronto fielded against the Colorado Rapids was a hodgepodge group of players who have rarely taken the pitch together outside of training.
Drew Moor, a former Rapid himself, was the only regular starter in the lineup. The rest were mostly substitutes or even reserve players. Ryan Telfer and Liam Fraser were making their first-ever starts in the 2-0 loss.
This led to plenty of stray passes, missed assignments and a general unease that made watching the match a little bit painful at times.
