There’s WKRP in Cincinnati and there’s FC Cincinnati.

WKRP in Cincinnati was one of the funniest sitcoms ever, while FC Cincinnati has been somewhat a joke this season.

For TFC coach Javier Perez, who took over the struggling Reds mid-season after Chris Armas was fired, it’s all about maintaining a positive attitude in the midst of an historically awful season. Toronto’s 15 points after 22 games are the fewest they’ve ever had at this stage of a season, breaking the previous low of 18 in 2011.

“I like the X’s and the O’x, but the mental part is the most important side of the game. There’s no doubt about that, at this level,” Perez said in a Zoom call. Still, Perez credits his players with not throwing in the towel, but admitted that he’s had to put on his psychologist hat every day.Article content

If there ever was a road game ripe for the taking, it’s Saturday’s match against Cincinnati, a club that has lost three straight and ran its winless run to 12 games with a 1-0 loss to Inter Miami last Saturday. TFC has a very busy schedule coming up, with six matches in the next three weeks. And of course, said Perez, all are must-win games.
