The time off didn't do Toronto FC much good as it looked like its old self in a 3-0 road loss to FC Cincinnati on Wednesday night.

Idle since a draw at home vs. Nashville SC on June 10, TFC got off to a good start at TQL Stadium before fading fast following the hosts' opening goal in the 35th minute.

Toronto (3-6-10) are now winless in four games (with three draws) and are still looking for their first road win of the season, having taken just four out of a possible 27 points away from home.

Here are my three major takeaways from Wednesday's game.
