TORONTO FC 0, COLUMBUS CREW 0
TORONTO FC HEAD COACH JOHN CARVER
On the team's play up front:
"Again, I've been banging this drum from the start of the season. We need to improve in certain areas and I still haven't stopped looking. As you all know I was home for a week and I did a lot of work to try and find somebody in that area. The guys who are doing the job for us at the moment are doing a good job but we need better and I think we all know that. It's going to take time. I have stopped working on it and neither has Mo (Johnston)"
On the game:
"We still had our opportunities; I thought we took the game to them. I mean again, you know they've come here with a game plan, made it very difficult for us, but we still had opportunities and you've got to put the ball in the back of the net, but the pleasing thing is they're (players) all sitting in there very, very disappointed. Now this time last year, they would have lost that game, wouldn't they? But we didn't we kept on the front four, we kept going and we tried to win the game."
TORONTO FC MIDFIELDER CARL ROBINSON
On the game:
"You got to give them credit they come here and I got what I think they wanted to get, we couldn't get what we wanted to get. ... But you know it's important we took something out of the game, we took a point out of the game."
On team's changing their tactics for TFC:
"You take it as a positive ... they play the way they want to play against us. But what we've got to do is when teams do that we've got to make sure that we put it to bed and we win the game and at the moment we just have that little bit missing at the moment where we can actually finish it off. They made tactical changes today and they came out on top, they took the points, we wanted to win ... their game plan was likely to contain us and they did that. We were a little frustrated in the end."
TORONTO FC DEFENDER MARVELL WYNNE
On the game:
"First half we really took it to them, we had a lot of possession, we had a lot of chances. It's unfortunate we didn't capitalize and we ended up not getting the full three points which I believe we deserved."
TORONTO FC FORWARD DANNY DICHIO
On coming up with a draw against the league's top team:
Yeah, I think the boys are a bit disappointed in the change room and that kind of shows you where we've come this year. For us to be disappointed, we've got to give ourselves a little pat on the back they're a team that's come into this game today winning six out of their last seven games so, we've got to take it in -- we just didn't have that final piece of the jigsaw today and couldn't put it in the net."
COLUMBUS CREW HEAD COACH SIGI SCHMID
On the game:
"It's just one of those games right, Toronto's playing well, and they're playing well at home. You know for us it's been a while since we've played on turf and that always changes the game a little bit. It was a little windy and it was one of those games where defensively I think we didn't get all that much on track. A little bit was because they played well and it was important for us to play to zero in the back and see if we could maybe grab a goal on the road and I thought we came close a couple of times."
COLUMBUS CREW FORWARD ALEJANDRO MORENO
On the game:
"We came here to try to get a result and I think there were times during the game where we took the rhythm away and try to create our own opportunities. We had a couple chances there where we were unlucky and they could have gone in but they're good games when you come up here to Toronto. The atmosphere is great, the fans are great, which is not only good for them, but good for us, it's quite an atmosphere to play in."
COLUMBUS CREW DEFENDER FRANKIE HEJDUK
On the game:
"It was a typical -- home for them, away for us you know ... they pressed the issue on the game and I think we were just solid defensively and stayed compact. They had most of the possession but the bottom line is we did what we had to do on the road to get a point. Hats off to them they had a good game but we played well also."
COLUMBUS CREW GOALKEEPER WILL HESMER
On the game:
"I think we defended well as a team we came out and we're committed to winning games no matter how we have to win them. It's a hard game, an ugly game that we'll play hard -- if teams want to open up and play, we'll open up and play. I think we're just committed to whatever we have to do to win the game."
