He looks a million miles away from the player he was at the gold cup against Mexico. I'm not sure if injuries have hurt his play or is it just confidence or a combination of the 2. canucksfan, NVsoccer and Ivan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lansdude Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 2 minutes ago, gkhs said: I was feeling hopeful that, with the layoff since his season ended, he might have recovered physically and be on better form. It really was a tale of two seasons, he was decent-to-good before the injury and brutal after. But, he looked totally unplayable. No confidence on the ball, at all. Pending Atiba's availability, Oso is going to have to play in the double pivot with SE. With Kone, if/when they go with a three man midfield. Hopefully that's a 'when' because a two man midfield against Croatia and Belgium is going to be a pushover and is going to put an insane amount of mileage on Eustaquio.

Corazon Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Not a great game for him but just scored his first goal for TFC. Puts them up 2-1. Shway, Dominic94, johnyb and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazon Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Coming back here for another appreciation post from a guy that has vocally voiced my frustration with his play in recent years. He still shows signs of Jekyll & Hyde. Had a poor game last weekend at home with some brutal turnovers but was incredible on Saturday vs Nashville. His work rate, his defense, some of his dribbling and his passing were all on. I debated if it was worth a post but saw that he made MLS Team of the Week and saw this posted about his passing performance as well.

Yes he does some things very well but the turnovers in vulnerable positions on the pitch can completely turn a game on its head. For me, the positives just don’t outweigh the negatives.

gator Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I don't like to be overly critical of any player who chooses to wear the Maple Leaf and represent our country however Kaye really lost me with that selfish Red Card in Costa Rica, that may have very well cost us in the WC seeding and put us in what became the Group of Death! He has his moments of quality but I think overall his game is in decline and I really don't think he can be counted on in our National Team midfield, I hope he proves me wrong!

Stryker911 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 He might be one of the most inconsistent players that we have. If he has a good game he is a dominating centre mid. Last night he was pretty horrible, along with quite a few of his teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 He was brutal yesterday but so was almost the entire team until 60 minutes in. I know BB is supposed to be this great coach but yesterday was a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how many times he has been caught in possession or given the ball away For whatever it’s worth, his “stats” were actually pretty good. Worst stat was only 80% successful passes, but the rest looks like a good match. Goes to show you can’t count on that stuff. Perhaps Kaye found a way to juice his stats regardless of what it looks like on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Did not see the match but Kaye seems like one of those players, as is sometimes said about early to mid career guys, who does not yet know what he wants to be when he grows up. I also don't like the fact he's one of the most outspoken, often unthinkingly, about the player vs. CSA cause, suggesting he might use causes of all sorts to hide behind instead of letting his play talk.

Big_M Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 he was terrible...first goal he didnt cover his player who got a shot on goal and then there was the own goal which obviously wasnt his fault...fourth goal loses the ball cheaply in the midfield and they go all the way...gave away a number of other balls easily...watched every tfc game this year and he had one good game...lets push it and say two...and osorio doesnt defend properly so putting those two in a two cm formation was recipe for disaster...unfortunately ppl give way too much importance to these rating sites and take it as the definite answer of how a player did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceA Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Reading the TFC piece from the Athletic. https://theathletic.com/4555769/2023/05/26/toronto-fc-insigne-bernardeschi-bradley-mls/ In the meeting, per multiple sources present, Bernardeschi quipped “of course, you’re his son” to Michael when the veteran midfielder spoke up to encourage Bernardeschi to air his issues out in the meeting, and “of course, you’re his papa” to Bob. At one point, when Mark-Anthony Kaye interjected, Bernardeschi referred to Kaye as Bob’s “other son.” LMAO PastPros, jordan, costarg and 23 others 5 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Aw, snap! Bernie preaching truth to power, what?! With some salt no less. (I like MAK, personally, but I think this is probably is indeed not far from the truth and it likely hasn't helped MAK keep his edge knowing that he is pencilled into the starting 11 almost as automatically as MB4 when not injured. I think that MAK's performances haven't been as uniformly bad as his detractors make out, but they sure haven't been consistently national team quality) Shway and Corazon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastPros Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 He almost cost them the game too. A bad give away against a better team, and everyone would rip this guy. When he gives the ball away, he has no pace to make up for the mistake. Fine for MLS and lesser CONCACAF teams, but a total non-starter for me against anything more.
