Especiallllly with OPDL operating the way it does. 3 teams sort of already have them. Sigma is basically Forge's academy. Cavalry has Foothills. And FC Edmonton has a youth team.

It doesn't have to be a full fledge academy, but what York9 did when they sponsored a York Region select team to play against TFC and Juve is essentially what I think should happen more consistently. johnyb and Junkie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 He was fantastic today, electric from the start. He ooozes confidence, isn’t afraid to play it forward. I’m not the most knowledgeable but I truly believe he can play multiple roles in the midfield. he sprung TFC to life, I do believe he’s ready to start and Vanney must think he’s close if he’s playing him. If he starts the game I think it’s a different result. crowded TFC midfield but he’s one of the pieces to the puzzle.

I like what I've seen from him so far, but thought yesterday was his worst performance. Naive and ponderous on the ball. I think he is best suited to a quick match that is played in transition. Reminds me of Marky Delgado, actually. NVsoccer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I agree with @Dominic94 He added some much needed energy when he came in, what a tough situation for a youngster to be thrust into against a good defensive team defending for their play off life, he was linking up well with Oso and Fraser at times which is good as a CMNT fan! The only real blemish I noticed was a speculative shot/cross at goal right at the death which essentially was TFC's last effort, he looks like he will be bright in the future if given the chance! toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shorty Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I agree that he didn’t look as good against Nashville, but as sometimes happens on my over-48 team, there was a lot of static, watching-your-teammate-with-the-ball-and-not-moving-into-space, so I wouldn’t pin it all on him. At least on my team we have the excuse that we’re old and fat and playing for free. Priso’s teammates are just old. Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lansdude Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 He looked promising, hard situation to come into, a sudden death playoff match right near the end. High pressure situation for a kid. He was quick and fairly confident out there, could do with a bit better decision making but again he's only a kid. He looked 14 years old. To that point as well he needs to add some mass and strength. He was shrugged off the ball a couple times by I think Anunga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got stripped of the ball a couple times late in the game. Not sure what he was doing, players just walked up to him and took it off him. Maybe adjusting to senior football whereas before he may have been able to get away with it against lesser quality players. Other than that, I am excited for him and the future. It also looks like Okello is getting in lots of minutes in Denmark so also very excited to see him back as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 High praise and what a comparison: also Armas once again affirming play the kids is in effect. Northvansteve, Obinna, Ol'Bill and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopePouri Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) With Bradley being moved further up the field and Armas' emphasis on pressing, Priso seems like the only destroyer-like no. 6 player in the team especially with the Tyler Adams comparison. I wouldn't be surprised if he started or was close to starting many games this season. Looking forward to Wednesday.

Just looking at everyone's seasons stats, Bradley, Delgado and Fraser averaged about 1.5 to 2 tackles per game. Priso, with his limited minutes of around 2 games last year had 13! tackles. You do the math. https://www.whoscored.com/Players/403651/MatchStatistics/Ralph-Priso-Mbongue Now obviously he's an unscouted player, it's early days and who knows what Armas might do, but he looks extremely promising.

I've always been a fan but he was defensively sound, moved the ball, and used his dribbling to absorb pressure. Corazon and Ivan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
