New England 2, Toronto FC 1
Q. Tough result tonight. How did that play out for you?
JONATHAN OSORIO: Yeah, obviously we're frustrated with the result I think from the way we play, and we feel that we deserve more. You have to take your chances and at the end of the day it only matters the result at the end of the match, is the only thing that matters.
But we are going to take the positives from this and I think they with we played was very positive, and credit to them, they found a way to win, and in a game that -- where they were dominated. But us, I think we definitely feel like we should have at least came out with a point, especially after tiring it. But we have to keep going. We have a game on Wednesday. We have to put this one behind us, learn from it and take the positives and I think at the end of the day, we feel that it was a positive performance and now we just have to find way to get the results.
Q. You mentioned the positive performance there, and I think there's been positive performances the past few weeks, but the points haven't been coming. How it you turn the positive points into victories?
JONATHAN OSORIO: We keep working. We look at the video and see those little details, it's just little moments in the game that we have to really concentrate not lose concentration and make sure that we don't put ourselves in positions that -- where, you know, where we're giving up goals. I think like for example, in this game, we tied the game. I think the momentum definitely has shifted fully and we need to find a way to not let them get into our end. Little things like that. Yeah, you know, we have a group of guys that know how to win and we know that positive performances are not enough. We're not satisfied with just positive performances.
But at the same time, you have to look, we have to stay positive. That's the only way to turn this around and so we take each game, game by game, and we take the good things and we look at the bad things and we try to fix them for the next game.
Q. This team has had some bad performances early in the season, but as you said, there have been a lot of positives recently, especially tonight, there was some times you couldn't tell which team was leading the league and which was at the other end of the table. When you look at the standing and see where this team is, do you shake your head? Is it hard to believe that given the quality and the way you have been playing recently that you are where you are in the standings?
JONATHAN OSORIO: Oh, yeah, of course. Everybody in this changing room, we look at our team and we see especially more recently we see the way we're playing, of course it's very frustrating to see where we are on the table. Very frustrating and I don't even know how else to put it. But at the same time, you know, we have to look at ourselves in the mirror and we have to fix it. We can't just, you know, like I said, positive performances, it's good for a little bit but at the end of the day, you have to get the results. We're pushing towards that. I think when other teams play us, they know that, yes, we are last on the table but I don't think nobody -- I don't think anybody looks at us like a last-place team. I think teams come into games against us knowing it's going to be a tough game. You know, obviously we feel we deserve more from these last few games, but yeah, we've just got to keep working and find a way to turn it around.
Q. The first time scoring the goal -- you're obviously someone who has seen what he can do in camp. What did you make of his goal?
JONATHAN OSORIO: I mean, it was a good goal, great finish. Tajon is an amazing talent. I think we started to really recognize that, I don't know if it was last year -- either last year or two years ago in the playoffs when he had a great run and he just keeps getting better.
To be honest, I really, really saw his potential in the June camp that we had, just the way he was training, the way he comes into games. He didn't play a lot but when he came in, I saw -- me personally, I saw a huge talent, and he showed that in Gold Cup and he's showing that this every game. I think his performance today, I think the goal was great for their team, but he has a lot more to him.
But to be fair. I think our team played really well against them. He's a key player for them and we are well aware of that. I'm just very excited for him. He deserves everything that's coming for him and there's just so much more and there's such a huge potential for him. Yeah, more than anything, I think we are all very excited to see what the future holds for him.
