CHICAGO FIRE 3, TORONTO FC 0
TORONTO FC HEAD COACH MO JOHNSTON
Thoughts on goalkeeper David Monsalve:
"I felt the young goalkeeper played very well under the circumstances. Hopefully we'll sign a goalkeeper Tuesday or Wednesday we're in the market and we're very, very close on that part. But we need outfield players, when you look down our bench there isn't much in terms of coming in and giving us a spark."
Oh how close he is to resting Dichio:
"We're very close; it's very tough because we don't have a large group of guys that can come in to play, when you have so many guys that are injured, especially the injuries we're receiving. I might need to go into the market and try and get two or three players, but it's very difficult -- because obviously we're under restrictions. But when you look at the way we performed in the second half it was totally unacceptable ... I won't accept it."
TORONTO FC MIDFIELDER CARL ROBINSON
Thoughts on the game:
"Bitterly disappointing, I didn't think we deserved anything out of the game. Started lethargically which set the tone, they got the first goal and then it was hard. You know we got to pick ourselves up and go again."
On how big a factor injuries were:
"People say we have injuries but I'm not using that as an excuse. We've got a squad, people who aren't in the team want to be in the team, they go and see the manager about being in the team and then they get a chance ... they'll get their chance now. Injuries you can't use them as an excuse, it doesn't wash with me and won't with the manager either."
TORONTO FC DEFENDER JIM BRENNAN
Thoughts on game:
"It was embarrassing, we're at home, this is supposed to be our house. We let everybody down today, we let ourselves down, we let the fans down. Games like this come along and it's one that you want to put behind you and focus on the next game. And now L.A. comes and we want three points."
CHICAGO FIRE HEAD COACH JUAN CARLOS OSORIO
Thoughts on game:
"Very pleased, I think the whole game plan just worked perfectly today. We played against a very good team, we limited them to maybe one shot in the second half and I think two crosses in the first one, so I think defensively the team was spot on with everything we did. As far as the attacking side, we were very efficient today. We scored three goals and we could have scored more."
CHICAGO FIRE FORWARD CARLEN CARR
Thoughts on game:
"Obviously the locker room's alive right now, everyone feels great. It's been awhile for a win and it was a convincing one. I think guys came in here with a purpose today; we were extremely well prepared by the coaching staff. And the bottom line is, it came down to guts out there, everyone put out a gutsy performance."
