Kevin O'Toole: The Left-Side Stabiliser

He makes the left channel feel reliable because he rarely gets caught in between decisions.

When space opens, he steps forward with control rather than rushing into trouble. That balance helps NYCFC build cleaner attacks, especially when opponents try to press wide areas. Defensively, his discipline keeps the flank from becoming a target, and that matters in matches decided by one transition. Over time, those steady performances add up, because structure is what lets attacking talent shine.
