After careful consideration, I have decided to rebrand my website.
The concept remains the same, but I do not want to explicitly promote gambling. You can use it for such, but I have made it more general.
You can get early access. Launch will be soon.

One thing I will give to Carrick, he makes games entertaining at least.
Frank would sit back from minute 1, whilst letting opponents have 20 shots, and refusing to even get a single one on target himself because it’s bad “xG”.
Think Esposito will be one of the best 9s in the world come next season.
Instinct next to none. Something you cannot teach. Has all the fundamentals.
Always right place, right time.
You know the strange thing about Rosenior, is his Chelsea underlyings were actually really good.
Unfortunately, was just set up to fail from the get to. Everything from the club situation, to the media pile on, to an immature group.
Think if he had a proper preseason, it could have been a bit different.
Replies are hilarious and do not know what they are talking about.
“Because he’s not athletic”.
Him dropping deep requires much more athleticism because it involves a lot more running and covering ground. It involves him needing to dart forward to attack vacated space, track back and defend more.
And then people are spreading this myth he is weak. Which again, is bullshit. He is slow, that’s it. He is very strong, he uses his upper body very well to hold up the ball, and we frequently see him dominate centre backs in the box? So again, a myth.
The reason he doesn’t play in the box is simply because it may make his goals and output go up, but it doesn’t make the team better. Simple. Maybe against low blocks, yes, he can play further forward.
But when you have a 9 as gifted as him, dropping deep benefits everyone more, not just Kane. The midfield get an extra man, more passing lanes to ease pressure, the wingers get more space to make inside runs to attack, as do central players.
When he plays as a box 9, that makes play more rigid, predictable, and stale.
