It doesn’t matter if you stay with TFC or leave if you are good enough you will make it . It’s easy to blame TFC but I can put together a long list of former Canadian TFC players who we all blamed TFC for not playing them enough, who left TFC and basically failed on almost every team they went to after TFC, some were not even good enough for the CPL . Sometimes it’s just the player not being good enough which I know for some it’s hard to believe . Here we go.... one win and a tie and the TFC defenders are back on the train with the blinders on. That's too easy bro. Benching a guy from 18-21, with no proper development or coaching wastes many good players who could have had good solid careers. TFC or any other Canadian team or academy does not get a free pass on that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckgbp Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Another good shift tonight at LB. Seems really good under pressure even when deep in his own end. TOcanadafan and Ivan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Pleasantly surprised to see how defensively sound and composed Kobe was yesterday, especially for a young player. Surprised as he was always great going forward for our youth teams but suspect defensively. He seems to have switched that around. Not sure if he lacks the speed at this level or he's been told to play conservatively. Corazon, johnyb, toontownman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueseeka Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) The spot is basically his to lose now. Played 90 mins in all of the most recent games. I am sure, he has been told to focus on the defensive side for now. Laryea is constantly jumping into play on the opposite side. Does great in tracking players, trying to time deep runs Edited June 4, 2023 by blueseeka toontownman, Kadenge, An Observer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Still a bit surprised he wasn't named on one of the preliminary squad lists. His versatility is an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does TFC have games during the GC? If so they may have asked JH to keep him with his club given he's been starting. I do hope that there's been communication with Kobe and Canada's coaching staff at the very least though. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOcanadafan Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I wonder why he didn’t play yesterday? One of the few bright spots of the season and all I read is how TfC are begging for Laryea to come back and if not they’ll sign another full back. Franklin is the one prospect that has proven that he can play, yet they want to push him back to the bench, while they continue to cycle through the Thompsons, Kerrs, JMM, hyped attacking prospects that seemingly can’t put it together. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearcatSA Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 There some things I like in his skillset but some things that hopefully get better with experience. He just needs to keep logging starts and minutes and go from there. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOcanadafan Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 The only positive player for TFC this season other than Laryea and they start a midfielder over him in his position… TFC has no clue. Corazon, Ivan and InglewoodJack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lansdude Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Just dropped a great ball in for Bernadeschi to run into for a counter and one on one but he blew it.

InglewoodJack Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 His Fotbmob rating was 5.7 which is pretty bad, but looking at his numbers- 92% passing, 2/2 ground duels, 1 tackle, 3rd most touches on the team and played all 90 minutes. Feels like that’s not the worst performance you can give when your team gets washed 4-0. I think he had Finnish Messi coming down his side too.
