Laryea on the other hand is a difference maker when he is on the field. I would start him for TFC. Morrow gives way more space on the outside this year so he doesn’t get beaten. He’s also been beat wide a fair bit but not burned badly. He’s still a good quality starting LB but he’s lost a step. He’s smart enough to give more cushion and not get roasted. I’m not advocating for him to be gone because I think he has 1 or 2 good years left and he means a lot to the team though. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now we could have dirt cheap local boy fraser doing 75% of what Bradley does and that gap is closing every day. And who knows how high the ceiling is on Fraser?? Same thing with Auro and Lareya (although lareya is alot older). Lets say they are roughly even now, who's going to be better next year and the year after that?? Look at Crepeau v Bush, Impact are prob wishing they had bet on the younger up and comer instead of the old vet. That's a good argument for the owners to make, but as a fan, I don't care if they have to spend a lot more for a better player. The money's not coming out of my pocket. MLSE is swimming in profit, and I'm not crying over them overspending in places. (Last I heard over 10 years ago, the Leafs generated a profit of about $100 million) I'm hoping that decisions about playing only come down to performance. Not about whether a player is too old or too young, or if they cost too much. I'll only care about that stuff when the season is over. Back on to Laryea, he seems to lose his temper and overreact pretty easily. I wonder if that figures into his not starting a lot of games. I'm hoping that he settles down some with age.

There’s nothing wrong with having two good right backs. You can put Richie at RW sometimes and Auro at LB sometimes so they can both get good minutes. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller is getting good minutes and he's already on the CMNT radar. Laryea was mostly playing garbage time minutes and had no chance to put himself in the shop window.

Big_M Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 leaps and bounds..lol slow down..he got 14 starts last year but we gotta see this year..up to now on the bench..and orlando is loaded at cb so he will have to fight for lb with moutinho and 1-2 others Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Well what would you call it? Laryea got 2-3 starts in his first 3 years with Orlando. Didnt get into one game as a rookie. Miller got 16 games and was a part time starter his first year. I would say thats leaps and bounds ahead of Laryeas first few years.

Obinna Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I am not convinced Miller is much further ahead of where Laryea was at his age. Laryea 2017 - Orlando 1st team 12 games; Orlando B team 12 games, 3 goals Miller 2019 - Orlando 1st team 16 games; Orlando B team 0 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Oh we are going by age...ok (2019 Miller) 1300+min 14 starts in MLS, vs 250 MLS min and a bunch of Orlando B games for Richie. And Miller had multiple games on the international stage with the CMNT, and Laryea had none. Good news is they both are versatile, can come in and play 2 positions and are making positive strides in carers. Bad news is they both have tough fights for starts/minutes. Vanney see Lareya as a sub and Miller will find it hard to duplicate his rookie year with the defenders Orlando has. I hope we have another couple defenders this year have mini-break out years like these 2 guys did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller was strictly with the first team and like you point out, was already an international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bdog Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I love how easily Richie can deke people in the box, idk why more skilled players can't do that to mls defenders. That's one thing I was really good at doing when I played so I'm always internally yelling at players to do it more. He could be a very good winger imo.

Ruffian Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I really noticed Laryea's awareness on defence tonight. Even when he was stuck in the defensive corner (with the ball) with his back to attackers he was able to avoid the tackles and find the outlet pass. I didn't see him mess that up all night.
