Roster
Phil Neville's team typically play in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation with an emphasis on maintaining possession and attacking in wide areas. The Timbers turn possession into attack quickly, utilizing pacey wingers who cut inside while fullbacks overlap and join the attack.
Portland's heartbeat comes from long time Timber, Diego Chara who has been on the team since their inaugural MLS season in 2011.
Other important players include Kevin Kelsy, Felipe Mora, and new signing from the Colorado Rapids, Cole Bassett.
