I fully expect both iraola and lampard to start every game barring injuries.
I think they start. A few weeks of training with the team after playing a whole season in May in EPL & Liga, I'm sure They'll be ready.
I think Lampard and Iraola both start. Angelino I think begins as a sub, although I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make an appearance against Toronto.
Just realized Toronto will be without Bradley and Altidore. Just double team Giovinco and we have no excuse not to win.
Are you sure on that one? From a CFG standpoint I can see directions to have both Lamps and Iraola stay on the pitch until its over.
Lampard and Iraola will 100% be starting. Angelino is less certain, both Sunday and beyond, given his youth.

Wouldnt mind that lineup with tommy mac in for grab and poku in for ballouchy
im sick of seeing Wingert and Grabavoy in lineups.
Given our success against Canadian teams so far, Toronto missing starters and home field advantage; how concerned should we be with anything less than a win?
This really must be a win for us. TFC is missing so many key players (4 starters, 2 DPs) and they've scored exactly 0 goals in their last 2 matches. As long as we concentrate on shutting down Giovinco again this match shouldn't be too much of a problem. Plus, the stadium should be absolutely amped with the new players making their debuts.
I'm interested to see how the league reacts to the physicality of our previous game with TFC. A lot of our success against Giovinco came from knocking him around. Combine that with the fight after the game and I could see the league telling the ref to call it tight. If that's the case we will need to adjust on the fly, hopefully we can before someone picks up a red or Gio runs all over us.
I have a feeling that we'll see Perquis v. Jacobson Round 2 during this game.
We should be able to boss the midfield this game, which we couldn't last time, largely because of Bradley and Osorio, who will not be there. We lose mix, but gain lampard, basically a swap, and we gain a HUGE improvement at right back (Allen last time), and hopefully CB. I will be shocked if we have to park the bus again and shocked if Gio sees much of the ball. Should be able to take the game to TO and let Villa toy with their shitty defense. I have felt that we should win before, and we have found a way to suck, but we really ought to win this one at home.
