Toronto FC got a harsh dose of reality from coach John Herdman following Saturday’s shoddy performance in a 4-1 loss to the visiting Chicago Fire.

Better is needed. Jobs are on the line. And TFC has a long way to go in its journey towards respectability.

“It’s going to take time. We came into something that was broken,” said Herdman, who inherited the worst team in Major League Soccer last October. “We’ve fixed some of it but there’s more to be fixed for sure.”
