Toronto FC's end-of-season availability came with a clear message Friday from new coach John Herdman . Enough is enough and things have to change.
The club stumbled to the finish line, outscored 20-3 in losing its last seven league outings. TFC won just one of its final 21 games in all competitions and set franchise lows for points , wins and road wins . And its 26 goals scored ranked second-lowest only to the 24 in the inaugural 2007 campaign, when the season was 30 rather than 34 games.
"The reality of football, especially us here at Toronto FC, is you can't finish bottom of the table and expect there not to be changes," he said. "You start to see some of the real reasons why there were ebbs and flows in individuals' performances," he said. "Losing is very difficult … Losing wears on you and I think you could really see that with this group," added Johnson.
"I expect more from me too," Bernardeschi echoed in English."When you are in a tough situation … it's not easy to do your best.""This was not a unified group," said Johnson."To be honest, I think we could have been closer."
