PiedPilko Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Did not look good in either leg vs Cavalry. Decision making is off and he just seems slow. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll have to see what he brings (or doesn't bring) to the table this season in his new surroundings. If Laborda is starting ahead of you as a central midfielder, you are "just a guy" at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has not looked good in limited viewings this season. Had such high hopes for him. He looked great when he first came up for TFC. Never the same after that injury.

Dominic94 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Yeah he looked great early on at TFC but things don’t seem to be working anywhere. I think he just needs to really play, same thing most kids need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saladroit Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 (edited) subbed off at halftime against club tijuana, calling him a passenger in midfield would be generous Edited August 4 by saladroit NVsoccer and CanadaFan123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, Tijuana looked all-world in that first half and a number of other Caps looked like they were participating in an underwater tai chi class, but his play was particularly noticeable for the wrong reasons. I think he is washing out at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 It is disappointing considering the potential he seemed to show in his earliest TFC days. I really thought he would push on to bigger and better things. He just turned 22 a couple of days ago (HBD!) so there is still time to turn things around - but he is no longer a young prospect. He has to do whatever is needed to transition into a mature pro player. Corazon, Ivan and NVsoccer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to do whatever is needed to transition into a mature pro player. You and others were always big on him and for good reason. I was big on him as well, but I cautioned years ago that when it comes to Priso, it's not guaranteed that he will come back strong from a major injury, even with him being a young player. It's not just "technically" being fit, it's also the disruption to the development when you are out for 6-9 months at a crucial age. Then, we must factor in the mental hurdles these guys must get past in order to get back to their best. A young guy can get derailed with something as minor as a coaching change, never mind a significant injury. Players need the ideal circumstances, which is sometimes down to fortune, to flourish, and injury is one of the worst things to throw that off. I often think of Larin when it comes to this kind of fortune. Sure, one may argue he was going to kind his way no matter what, but I think he would never have reached these heights had things not worked out in his favour. He started as a bench player in his rookie season, behind a young Honduran DP named Rochez, but 4 or 5 games in and the Honduran suffered an injury and Larin got his chance. He scored pretty much right away, which gave him another chance the following game, which he put away again. The rest is history. He has gone on to be one of the top CONCACAF striker exports of all time. Rochez meanwhile had to claw and scrape to forge a decent pro career, which he has done to his credit, scoring a lot of goals in the Portuguese 2nd Division and earning some Honduran caps, but he never became the star that Larin is. And considering who was the young DP back in the early Orlando days, and who was the preferred choice when both these young men started out at Orlando, you're money would have been Rochez going on to greatness, whereas Larin (a product of NCAA) would have been the gamble. Anyway, that was long winded. I agree that Prison now has to try and claw and scrape out a good pro career.. it's a shame but that's where he is at.

On their only goal, it was Priso who didn't track back properly and it was his man who scored. I got the idea of trading for him earlier this year and giving him the opportunity, but it's just not working.

When I saw him come on as a sub for the Rapids in Vancouver a couple of seasons ago, I thought that he looked sharp in his overall play in his extended appearance but the very few times I have seen him with the Caps he just looks off the pace.

Corazon Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 The beginning of the end for Priso seemed to be those injuries he suffered a few years back at TFC. I believe the initial injury or the reaggravated injury was on a play that was a delayed offside on a clearly offside play. costarg, Ivan, NVsoccer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best move for him would be CPL, play regularly, find a coach that believes in him and try to re-find his mojo. He missed a lot of development years and his confidence in his ability as well as his body is probably really low.

He actually was injured further up the pitch on a nasty challenge and still ran back in an attempt to thwart a goal when the offside flag came up, he confirmed this when I asked him about it! narduch and Corazon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
