Club Linesman Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Played well. Not sure he is more athletic than Auro. Why was Auro out - is he hurt? dont get me wrong happy Laryea played and well and it would be great if he could play his way into the conversation for the CMNT but doubt he unseated Auro based on one good performance.

Did you see the game? Laryea is without a doubt more athletic than Auro. He is almost Justin Morrow level athletic. It's just one game, so obviously he needs to prove he can play well consistently, but I liked how he made the right decisions on the ball. Several times he chose not to force the play in the attacking third, opting to recycle the ball instead of playing a low percentage cross. Yet, he played several good crosses into the box during the match. He looked very comfortable going forward and was good defensively, one turn over aside. He is a little different to Auro, who is very good technically. Based off this game (the first I have seen him at right back), I would put his technical ability/comfort on the ball somewhere in between Morgan and Auro.

Mikmacdo Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 He was okay today, he got beat a couple of times and cost TFC a goal. I think he needs to get stronger to play RB. HooligansFW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he needs to get stronger to play RB. About 5 players from TFC could be blamed for that 2nd goal not just him. Laryea’s mis control turning possession over was really the only mistake he made on the day (many of his teammates made many more on the day) it was an otherwise impressive and encouraging debut for his first ever pro or even college game at right back. I agree with Obinna that he seems to have more speed than Auro does though I expect Auro will regain his spot when healthy again, the right back depth for club and country looks more promising Kadenge, Obinna, HooligansFW and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club Linesman Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Was at the game. Just disagree that from one outing a guy who couldn’t get on the field with one of the shittiest teams in the league is miles more athletic than Auro who has consistently played on one of the top teams In the league. Great that he played well and hope for good things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost the ball in the opposition half, Delgado didnt take an angle on the winger (or gave up on the play) and Moor let the cross through...and then you still had Mavinga and Bradley letting Nicolic slip between them for a tap in. But sure I guess he cost them a goal..... johnyb, HooligansFW, Admin and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than Auro, not at all, I'd still rather have Auri but he showed some athletisism out there and got in a couple nice crosses.

Club Linesman Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Getting lost in semantics. Happy with Laryea and pleasantly surprised with his play at RB today. I would not announce him as better than Auro based on one game Athletically, technically, skill wise whatever, if we were playing for the MLS cup I would have Auro at RB over Richie 100% of the time based on what we have seen to date.

His defense was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazon Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I thought he looked very good out there overall. Definitely played his part last goal against but I liked what I saw from him today. The position is still Auro's but hopefully he can slide in there occasionally to get some playing time. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am definitely not saying he took Auro's spot. Just pointing out the obvious that he's a better athlete than Auro. I think Auro is a better right back, by the way, but it's good to have another option emerge, especially one that doesn't look like he'll get regularly outmatched physically. I love Auro's quality on the ball, but he loses those battles too much for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrock Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Played a bit safe if you ask me. Whip that ball across more often! That way Jozy doesn't have to get the ball all the way on the side. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Vanney was pleased with Layera, said he had a nice game and then mentioned what attributes give him potential as a right back. His athleticism/physicality was cited. Grandbloke and Blackjack15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club Linesman Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Two can play at that game ? But ask anyone with the squad and they’ll tell you that the 23-year Brazilian’s value is sky high. “I think he has the capacity to be one of the best right backs in our league, if not the best right back,” said coach Greg Vanney. “He’s a nice weapon to have.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great thing for TFC. Auro himself doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Some people I think overlook the fact he got 6 assists last year from full back. He's still only 23. Meanwhile, TFC looks to have found a very capable reserve in Layera to back him up. 24 years old with very different attributes, which give TFC diversity. At the very least, Nick Deleon won't be shoehorned in back there. I'm sure we'd both agree on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club Linesman Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 100%! Team is looking good and always happy when a Canadian gets pt. Actually searched out a stream for the first time ever to watch the Impact game last night when I read on here that 6 Canadians were on the pitch.

PopePouri Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 It must be a testament to how well he's doing in training. Vanney could have put DeLeon or Ciman there as a more experienced and natural replacement, but he felt comfortable giving time to Richie.
