Snowcrash Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Around the 2:45 mark, letting the ball roll past him up the line when the defender was expecting him to cut the ball inside with his left foot shows impressive awareness for someone that age.

Shway Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Man with the news of TFC not wanting to be very active in the market to give the young guys a chance....my disdain for the club from holding the players back, and the Voyageurs cup fiasco has simmered based on this revelation. It's going to be an exciting season watching guys like Jahkeele, Jayden, Jullian, Jordan, Ralph and Noble. They are paired with some of the best players in the league like Mavinga, and Pozuelo...so it's very exciting. I was leaning to spending more time when I can to watch York....but TFC has brought it to 50/50. Here's to hoping fans can be in the stands.

Last I looked, Peruzza is prob 5th on the striker depth chart, and they still have Poz, Bradley, Osorio, Delgado, Fraser, Deleon, Endoh at midfield. I'm still hoping we see a couple of those guys you mentioned loaned out, they need to be playing every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perruzza Jozy's gonna play 5-10 games, with a few of those being sub appearances from coming back from injuries. Ayo's still out with what people have speculated to be COVID, so hopefully he gets healthy soon but who knows. Still not sure what formation Armas will play but if it's a 4-3-3 which he used with NYRB then the non-Canadian wingers are Deleon Endoh Gallardo and Achara and none of them are guaranteed starters except for maybe Deleon. The only position with a logjam would be midfield but out of Fraser Priso and Okello not sure who would get loaned, especially because Okello just came back from one.

I don't believe that Achara has returned to training yet after his surgery last year. The other three are far from the toughest competition for the kids. If Marshall-Rutty is anywhere as good as the hype he'll have a really good opportunity to establish himself this year. Same goes for Shaffelburg and Nelson. sebdeserio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 With respect to Rutty, I want to see what he can do in MLS against solid pros before I get to hyped up. The coach’s comments are encouraging but they are also potentially trying to grease the wheels for the next Phonzie-level deal. And you could put a highlight reel together of my best plays and it would make me seem like a decent footy player - so it doesn’t really prove too much. Consistently high performance in MLS - like Phonzie did - will be the next thing he has to do to show that the hype is warranted. And I wish him all the best in that.

If Marshall is as good as the coaching staff are claiming, and breaks into TFC's line up, then it will benefit him playing for a team that plays attacking soccer. If he has Davies level potential (or even a fraction) he'll be able to better showcase his attacking abilities playing for a team that's not constantly defending, and surrounded by good players. as a TFC supporter I'm genuinely excited at finally having a high level prospect that's from Toronto.

Yeah, the eBay prices are def on the high end. I am looking around to see more budget oriented options. I still want to see him show it on the field. The hype train can only take you so far.

Lansdude Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Only 16 years old so he'll put on more mass, but he'll still be undersized. Gonna be interesting to see how he handles the physicality of the MLS on a week-to-week basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They think highly of Peruzza, saw a quote where Manning said so, he’s probaly 3 could end up at more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Made the bench tonight, didn’t play. Given some of TFC’s injuries and that they played today I’d imagine we see him Saturday against Montreal, likely a start but at least as a sub.

But it is possible that he is really still seen as a prospect at this point. He is only 16 after all. That is a pretty big ask, even for someone who is extremely talented. It may be that he is just not quite ready yet - and that is ok. El Hombre, Shway and Ivan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not or he’s being brought along slowly, like Davies was. They’re extremely high on him I’d imagine his time will come. Also it’s likely the game plan and sub plan changed when they went up 2.

Like Davies 🤔...Is there another person we can compare/reference? Davies showed he had World Class talent from when he was 16, and it came without pre-hype. I rather just play the relax, wait and see game with JMR. The reality is, he’s only played 30 minutes of professional football.

JMR is said to have that same talent, I remember a fair amount of people giving me shit for saying that a 17 (might have been 16) year old Davies would/could start for most MLS teams, there was hype on him but way more caution. If anything Rutty’s hype is higher at the same age/stage. I mean pre season, by the time of the gold cup it had exploded for Davies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was showing out with WFC2, which got him to the bench of the first team and the rest is history. 30 Minutes is not enough for me to believe that same hype as Davies is all I'm saying.

Ivan Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I think TFC should loan JMR to a CPL club. He needs to be playing regular minutes this year. gator, Nate3322, ghostknownunknown and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
