These are very trying times for Toronto FC.  

Last week's 3-1 road loss to Charlotte FC saw Toronto (3-5-5) dropped from 10th to 11th in the Eastern Conference. It also meant TFC have now gone 10 straight games in all competitions without a clean sheet (and only have one all year). 

"We're aware that we're doing a lot of things right, and of course we're also reviewing the mistakes that we're making, because we also know that a lot of the chances that we're giving up and a lot of the goals are our own mistakes; it's not really the other team breaking us down," midfielder Alonso Coello said this week.
