Barring getting a new striker, Toronto FC looks to score by committee this season
Barring the acquisition of a new striker, it will be scoring by committee for Toronto FC this season.
Toronto FC elected not to bring back Prince Owusu, its leading scorer last season, and the German forward, whose nine goals came at a cost of US$807,500, is now wearing CF Montreal colours. That leaves a Toronto first-team roster that combined for just 28 goals last season.
“From what we’ve seen in training and scrimmage games and 11-vs.-11s is that we’re getting contributions from a lot of different places,” Toronto head coach Robin Fraser told a virtual availability Wednesday from Spain. “Not just the guys playing highest up the field but certainly in different parts of the field, guys playing wide, guys coming from deeper.
“I think the answer at this point would be goals by committee. And I think if we can execute the things that are being asked of us, lots of different people will have goal-scoring opportunities.”
