@tmzette ‘Alex scott’ when we’re gonna be rocking a front three of:
Tel/Moore – solanks/richard arlison – Spence makeshift RW shifts/ 8 months post–thigh-torn-off-the-bone Kudus
@TomFoins tonali/fernandes quick swoop is the kudus/mgw of 26’
Then there was a month of twiddling their thumbs until the usual panicking in the final week of the window. Can’t wait til end of August again!
@SolanaPrincee deadass playing Pepe at DM with everyone narrow blocking off the middle, & this freak still had the acceleration, athleticism, tight ball control, and lightning-fast decision-making to bounce off defenders and execute perfectly weighted actions against the top 1% of pro players
@Sheikhoooom which is why im pretty sure kulu is finished at the club/this level. He’s coming off a worse injury + longer time out & acl’s take a year to get back to your level.. this kulu dude has no timeframe + will take another yr to get back to some sort of lvl (which isn’t guaranteed)
@Sheikhoooom we can survive without another MID, like last ssn we managed to patch up a bentancur/palhinha pivot. But we couldn’t attack for shit, spence/richy/tel played our final game & is like one kudus injury away from happening again. But this time we dont have palhinha to do the scoring
@tmzette not his fault, but the club will use it as an excuse that we can’t buy a st. Also there’s no motivation of a World Cup for him at the end of the ssn + he’s a yr older so I expect his injuries to come back again unfortunately
@SolanaPrincee 30 pace with 49 stamina is horror - and ppl are shocked when his trampoline touch is all over the place after half-time as he chases his first touch
@YedIin@trymeasureloss so happy for porro, he deserves it so much. Showed that you can fight & care for the club that pay your wages as well as internationally too. Dudes been a reliable solider week in week out for us unlike ‘cuti’ who takes regular sabbaticals
@SolanaPrincee messi was horrible until they decided to camp in the box & let Argentina progress the ball freely to the final 1/3 & swing crosses in
@Kish_P14@world_classe he’s not the type of cb who will age well. Already injury prone at 28 and as his legs slowly go, those strong challenges that he wins will end up being a split-second late & give fouls away
A half-time show is an anti-football abomination.
Players have gone through their career used to normal break. That rhythm disrupted, in the biggest game of their careers.
It's of a piece with absurdly high ticket prices and Balogun controversy - Fifa ushering this through.
Mcallister should’ve been booked twice now already, but everyone is fairly happy he hasn’t been. Just shows why VAR doesn’t work, because in reality, we don’t want the rules followed, we want the spirit of the game instead.
@mionomedev dangerous to judge anyone based off this game. It’s like power league when everyone’s tired so it’s just end-to-end transitions bc no one tracks back
