After missing the first part of the season, Toronto FC have their desginated player striker back.
Jozy Altidore finally made his first start for Toronto FC this past weekend, after suffering from a strained hamstring. The injury caused him to miss a few game to start the season and only make cameo appearances in others. Was Altidore's absence the cause of TFC's lack of chance creation? How important is he to the attack?
It's a question complicated by how Greg Vanney began the season tactically. While the conservative approach was partially a product of 8 road games to open the year, missing their big target man also had to have played an effect on the tactics.
