Orlando City 3, Toronto FC 2
Q. Tough one for you guys tonight. How did that game get away from you?
RICHIE LARYEA: Not quite sure, actually. I thought we played very well, even after we conceded two goals, we responded really, really well, and then we let it slip there at the end. But it was a big effort from everyone involved, we should walk away with at least a point in my opinion, three based on the way we played. But that's just how it went tonight.
Q. Just wondering, after such a disappointing result like that, what's the mood like amongst you guys and is there still faith in what Chris is trying to do with this team? Is there still faith in his tactical imprint?
RICHIE LARYEA: Yeah, the goals today -- didn't have anything to do with Chris Armas. He put us out there as best as we could and I thought it was a very good team. We played well. We executed everything he wanted well and played well. I mean, none of it reflects on him. This is us -- all three of the goals today were on the players on the field. Yeah, he's done well. He's set us up well to play extremely well. Yeah, I think this has nothing to do with it.
Q. I know it's not common for guys to share -- seems like you had to words there, maybe just protecting after an attack that you didn't particularly like?
RICHIE LARYEA: To be honest with you, I block out when I'm on the field, so I couldn't even tell you what I said. But yes, defending -- I don't remember what I said.
Q. What do you take out of a game like this? Is the glass half-full and your club rallied from a horrible start and had more chances and could have gone ahead? Or is it half-empty because of that nightmare issue start and conceding a late goal?
RICHIE LARYEA: Yeah, I think it's a positive performance from everyone involved. We are upset because of the way the game ended but I mean, anyone who watched today would see us started poorly the first and then after that it was all us and whoever says otherwise I don't think understands the game. So I think there's a lot of positives from us here and it's disappointing the way we gave it away because we deserved at least a point out of this game and to get nothing is tough for us. But I think there's a lot of positives for us to take away into the next couple of matches.
