Shway Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 He had another great game at RB for TFC last night. Right now for me he’s the undisputed RB for Canada. Hes getting better and better defensively and offensively with each game. Northvansteve, Ruffian, dyslexic nam and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 It would really help his development defense wise if TFC played him consistently as a FB if that is in fact his best position. His skill on the ball is exceptional and I wonder if he would make a better winger or even an attacking mid?...never mind we need FBs lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Hes in the mold of Davies where he’s actually an outside midfielder that can play well at full back. I just rather us create an aggressive attacking identity where we are setup to win games from the onset rather than chase it. We have all the pieces.

The more I watch him, the more I feel that he would be a really good flank midfielder/winger on the left, playing inside more and working in conjuction with an attacking LB to make space for overlapping runs. There's a high degree of craft in his game. Edited September 20, 2020 by BearcatSA Mikmacdo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikmacdo Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I definitely prefer him as a left winger cutting inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I think he genuinely looks good at RB. He looks like a natural and is getting better like every game. Nate3322, N1ckbr0wn and Northvansteve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Orlando has been a gong show up until this year, so perhaps the problem was the management/coaching there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One American Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Over on BigSoccer, we were discussing Canada on a USMNT forum thread, and I said I think there are three guys who are lock starters for Canada - Davies, David, and Laryea. Others said Borjan, and that's probably true right now, but I could see him challenged in the not-distant future. Arfield is if he's fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s two games in a row now. Seems he may be rounding into form. I would say Hutchinson is also a lock when fit and available, though It feels he has 1 foot in retirement. Anytime he is including it’s more like a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFan123 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 How did he get screwed out of an assist Saturday? I disagree with the rule but understand why he didn't get one vs. Montreal but on Saturday he had a clear ball to Piatti who played it in to Akinola.

Strait Red Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Richie having an excellent second half vs. Columbus. He had the “hockey assist” on Altidore’s tying goal and the primary assist on Pozuelo’s go ahead goal. He’s causing havoc in the Columbus box. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohan Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Laryea makes a lot of good decisions on the offence, while a lot of fullbacks would just go into the corner and put a cross in when they are in trouble Strait Red and Nate3322 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) The Richie evolution. He first just ran down the wings. Then he crossed the ball into the box to whoever could get onto it. Then he started looking to make passes to specific players and making different types of passes. And now he's taking on players in tight spaces inside the box - a skill not usually seen in Canadian football circles. It looks like a lock for the next 2 World Cup cycles. We have one of the best fullbacks in Concacaf - though he might not play there. Looks like we may have the 2 best now.

Gian-Luca Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I can't believe that those were his first two assists this season. It seems like he had set up another four goals before this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
