CanadaSantos Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 2 hours ago, yomurphy1 said: Yeah. Osorio was balling out at DM last year. I've always been a fan but he was defensively sound, moved the ball, and used his dribbling to absorb pressure. Agreed, especially about absorbing pressure. He was by far the most comfortable and capable player we had in connecting passes when our opponents were high pressing us. There were a couple of games when we had Bradley and Delgado playing deep and they were horrific when teams pressed high. Just one give away after another. I distinctly remember matches against NYCFC and Union last season with those 2 in mid and we were completely outplayed in those matches.

SthMelbRed Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 At risk of sounding daft, can somebody clear up for me what this kid's name is? His first name is Ralph. I get that. However, is his family name Priso, or Mbongue? And he has a younger brother in the TFC system, I understand. He goes strictly by the family name of Mbongue?

Could be different parents but he is Ralph Priso-Mbongue, and his brother is Hugo Mbongue likely that they have a different parent.

CanadaFan123 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hard to believe he’s just 18. He’s impressively composed and strong. He’ll be a star for Canada IMO. Could be a better version of Piette. toontownman and Northvansteve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohan Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I don't think he's a DM. he's a box to box CM. doesn't look comfortable enough as DM. but his passing is better as a CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigzTFC Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 He's very good for his age and making plays beyond his years. Very impressed by him. What a player! The transition from defense to offense is quick and with purpose. Once he sync's up with better players or the team understands one another better to make the correct runs off the ball he will really shine. Sometimes an errant pass is someone making the wrong run off the ball making the passer look silly. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets his head up and looks to play that Hollywood ball and he can really hit it. Priso gets his head up and seems to want to drive forward in to space. It was my first time seeing him but that was my impression Edited April 15, 2021 by SpursFlu Northvansteve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did, but also a lot of TFC's chances came from him pressuring players and causing turn overs and immediately looking to play the ball forward once he had it. You wouldn't have guessed he was 18 from seeing him play. Dominic94, dyslexic nam, Kent and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOcanadafan Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 He better get a chance to play over Delgado... last night showed that Okello and Priso have so much more to offer. Kent and gator 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
