Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney looks for big response against Minnesota after first loss Globe_Sports

Drew Moor’s health has not helped the Toronto back line with an adductor injury restricting his play. Moor is the vocal conductor of the TFC defence. The Loons have been road warriors this season, starting with five away games while waiting for their US$250-million Allianz Field home to open. That came last weekend with Minnesota tying New York City FC 3-3.
“For us, it’s staying connected as a group,” Vanney said of his defence. “I think last week we got disconnected and that led to some situations that became a little bit out of control, which is not where we want to be.”
