Tom Errington provides us with an update on how one of the many Brits in Vancouver are performing admirably this season in MLS.
In the final minutes of Martin Rennie’s Vancouver finally ending their abysmal Cascadia record, Kenny Miller was subbed off. The roar from the stadium illustrated just how influential he had been in their 2-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders.
As impressive as that single performance was, it certainly isn’t a one off. Most foreign imports struggle when they arrive in the MLS; Kenny Miller was to suffer the same start. When he first arrived in Canada, he was hit and miss, often within the same game. With his family now settled and Miller himself enjoying his life in Canada, it’s no surprise he has hit new levels of consistency, something that fellow Scot, Kris Boyd, could not.
The Whitecaps possess one of the most prolific striker forces in the league so far with Camilo and Miller regularly finding the net in MLS. Miller and Camilo have proved to be one of the most complimentary and dangerous strike forces around. While Camilo operates in a freer role, often giving centre backs a headache, Miller has been able to drop deep and receive the ball, as well as make runs behind the backline. These runs have been lethal, with Seattle proving it. A simple run left Djimi Traore helpless as Miller cut inside and hit a superb, curling, precise shot past the helpless Gspurning.
While his goal scoring has been impressive, his leadership has been just as important. The Whitecaps possess youngsters such as Hertzog and Teibert. Having such an experienced and well travelled striker visibly supporting and encouraging players around him makes Kenny Miller as one of the best value designated players in the league.
Unlike a certain Kris Boyd, this Scottish striker has been a revelation in MLS, and long may it continue in a team that usually possesses the British spine of O’Brien, Reo-Coker and Miller.

He's done a lot better in terms of goals per game than Miller. And Vanocuver are a lot better than Toronto so earnie has doene very well to score the amount of goals he has considering he's at the 2nd worst team in the league
