Promising Signs From Depleted TFC Lineup

Despite all the injuries, Toronto FC played to a scoreless draw with a Beckham-less LA Galaxy, a game in which TFC was unlucky not to come away with the full 3 points.

The changes made by manager Mo Johnston proved to be effective, as Marco Reda and Adam Braz both put in a solid full 90, usual substitute Chris Pozniak also started, and made many of us at BMO Field wonder why he doesn't start more often. Out of his regular position, Todd Dunivant was solid in a midfielder's role, and youngster Andrea Lombardo put in his best performance of the year.

Hopefully this is a stepping stone for Mo's skeleton crew, who need to adjust quickly if there is to be any hope of a playoff spot.

The verdict is still out on new 'keeper Kenny Stamatopolous, as he was not tested at all in his first match for Toronto FC.
