saladroit Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 drew two PKs and got an assist on ali ahmed's goal, man of match performance against lafc; his form with the caps is getting better and better at the perfect time DeRo_Is_King, dyslexic nam, Obinna and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I hope with JH at TFC he comes back when this loan is finished. I wonder if the Caps fans are still not rating him. Obinna, Corazon and sebdeserio 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the Caps fans are still not rating him. It's funny, because I took a casual Whitecaps fan (but a big soccer fan, and one who's now signed up for season tickets for next year) and late in the game he turned to me and said he didn't understand the hype around Laryea. That he seemed much better with Canada, but really wasn't anything special with the Whitecaps and was disappointed in his performance. And this was AFTER he drew both penalties and had the nice cross for Ahmed's goal. So I think there's definitely a disconnect between Caps fans (myself included) and everyone else. Because the other play that stands out to me is the ball coming to him top of the 18 late in the game, with no one within 10 yards of him and he just....missed the ball. Like it went past him for no discernable reason (from the stands). Edited October 22, 2023 by Watchmen Unnamed Trialist and GasPed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I am not sure Herdman would be giving him the DP tag if he was available to return.

Have heard from a few sources the Whitecaps don't want to give him the DP tag either. Viewed more as a TAM player.

Kadenge Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I don't watch the Whitecaps much, but I couldn't believe that was Laryea in the first half. Very disappointing performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markoaleks Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 He seems to have lost his "anger on the edge" way of playing over recent times- also his first touches last night were poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I take it he played his last game for VWC? Does his deal with Forrest end in January? At least he'll have a bit more ease to go find a new team if he's managing his own business. I'm sure TFC especially with Herdman will have a spot waiting for him. dyslexic nam, Shway, Corazon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costarg Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Very un-Laryea game last night. His touches were just totally off. To me, it seems he hasn't mastered or even acclimatized to the turf bounces. He was going one way and the ball the other at every touch. He looked more frustrated than he usually does. The turf affects players different ways, he seems like an extreme case. Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his first opportunity to receive a pass, Raposo let a ball bounce past him into touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the play early in the second half, if he had focussed less on trying to get a shot off while being two-hand shoved, and instead did his usual routine, he probably would have drawn a penalty. And it would have been the right play. Shway and RS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he's still under contract to Forrest, which is why all the talk was of the Whitecaps buying him in the offseason. That's now a discussion to be had.

Obinna Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I get the sense Laryea would be better off trying to make a go of it in the Championship. It's fine if he stays with Vancouver (at the right price) or goes elsewhere in MLS, but unless he has a family reason why not go back to the UK? His parent club is there and (I would think) he should be able to find a gig somewhere over there. king1010, Corazon, Watchmen and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeRo_Is_King Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) Great finish from Eustaquio, but this man's give-and-go / 60-yard run before the assist was classic Laryea. It's contributions like this that really differentiate him from the rest of our right-sided wide players. Amazing play.

shorty Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Hoilett’s layoff back to Laryea is underrated here as well. The pivot in a give and go is such a simple skill and yet not simple at speed. Has to be precise and it was. Also love that the move basically started and ended with Eustaquio. Easier to lay it off to Vitoria or Miller but he picked out Laryea with a great switch instead.
