👀🇦🇷 Después de decir que esta vez el arbitraje no influyó, me pidieron revisar el partido con detalle y encontré esto.

Enzo Fernández, autor del gol del empate de Argentina, no debió terminar el encuentro.

Al minuto 3 lanzó un codazo en la nuca a un jugador inglés, sin ninguna posibilidad de disputar el balón. Si se hubiera aplicado el mismo rigor arbitral que vimos contra Suiza y Egipto, esa acción perfectamente pudo terminar en expulsión. Pero no solo no fue roja… ni siquiera fue amarilla.

Minutos después, el mismo Enzo cortó un contragolpe de Inglaterra con una zancadilla al borde del área. ¿La sanción? Tampoco hubo amarilla.

Desde el primer tiempo, Enzo debió estar expulsado. Si una acción así hubiera sido contra Messi, difícilmente el infractor se salvaría.

Por cierto, guarden el video porque la FIFA los anda borrando.

⭐️ Jeremie Frimpong and LFC U13 striker talent Ade Adediran doing shooting drills together.

Look at that technique 😳

[fåb @redfxb]

This is Wharton wins possession and plays two deadly passes in a single play that he started and both can win you the game single-handedly.

Game reading + vision + technique + execution.

🚨 Real Madrid have made an enquiry for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha at the request of José Mourinho.

The German international has emerged as a midfield target for Los Blancos, while Manchester United and Manchester City are also tracking his situation.

Borussia Dortmund have no intention of selling Nmecha this summer and only an exceptional offer would change their stance. His €70M release clause becomes active in 2027.

Florian Wirtz is the intelligent engine that will propel Liverpool forward. The choice was wise. Florian Wirtz is the Holy Grail. But how does Andoni Iraola bring the Grail into the machine? Perhaps he can learn from the tale of Phaethon.

Phaethon did not fall because the Chariot of Helios was useless. The chariot was divine machinery. Fire, speed, power, craft. Built to drag daylight across the sky. A solution only the Gods could control. The Gods did not curse Phaethon. The Gods just set the rules. Drive too high? The earth freezes. Drive too low? The world burns. Lose control? The system collapses.

Enter Adam Wharton. An excellent passer through pressure who turns the first action after a regain into immediate threat.

The data makes the temptation obvious. Against Florian Wirtz, Adam Wharton sits almost level on total progression (79th vs 80th), progression via passes (77th vs 63rd), creation via passes (both 98th), and Total VAEP (90th vs 88th). Wharton helps Liverpool find dangerous areas. Wirtz creates threat inside them. That is the difference between an intelligent connector and an intelligent engine.

Adam Wharton’s best trait is also the thing that can seduce Liverpool into ignoring the rest of the machine. His progression map is almost entirely pass-led: 143 progressive passes (5.0 per 90) compared with just 25 progressive carries (0.9 per 90). He points the game forward rather than dragging it there. In a ball-dominant team, that trade-off is easier to accept. In a counter-pressing system built on regain-carry-create, he helps the create far more than the regain. His defensive profile confirms the gap: active defence 14th percentile, defensive actions 38th, ground duels 19th, defensive impact 23rd. Wharton can be part of the machine, but not the part that keeps the chariot from breaking.

This is where Alex Scott reveals the other side of the choice. Wharton is access, Scott is control.

Wharton is ahead on total progression (79th vs 44th), progression via passes (77th vs 21st), creation via passes (98th vs 32nd), and Total VAEP (90th vs 57th). But Scott is far stronger where the chariot has to absorb the load: defensive impact (84th vs 23rd), defensive actions (89th vs 38th), defensive ground duels (70th vs 19th), and aerial duels (68th vs 37th). Add Wharton alongside Gravenberch, Wirtz, Isak and a high-risk attack, and the out-of-possession cost gets paid somewhere. Probably by Szoboszlai, the wingers, or the back line. Energy is not infinite. Liverpool already has carriers (Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Kerkez, Wirtz, possibly Diomande). The midfielders must survive the collisions and keep control. In a counter-pressing system, that control turns chaos into fury.

Adam Wharton could make Liverpool’s chariot fly.
Alex Scott makes sure it does not tear itself apart.

That is the difference between speed and control.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Alex Scott vs. 🇫🇷 Warren Zaïre-Emery

- Scott had a recognizable b2b role, WZE in Ligue 1 was used mostly like a full back that tucked into midfield in possession and defended wide areas oop
- WZE played in a monstrously possession dominant side, Scott played in a balanced one
- WZE is three years younger but they have played nearly the same amount of senior club matches (183 for WZE, 180 for Scott); Scott is half and half Champ/PL

The above three points are necessary context for every other observation about their data and general profile.

- Scott is more of a goal threat, looks to shoot and get into scoring positions to receive as often as he carries into those positions
- WZE is more of a threat from the half space, finding runners and short crosses into the penalty area
- they're both good at finding through balls, one of my favorite sneaky indicators of a midfield creator
- WZE's "receiving" numbers like deep receptions, xThreat received, etc look better, but as a product of PSG seeing much more of the ball and having more space out wide in the instances he maintains the full back positioning... I think Scott is the more prolific receiver in dangerous areas with context applied
- apply the same reasoning as above for dribbling: WZE does it in more space, Scott in more advanced areas across the pitch, although this isn't to say WZE is a bum in this regard by any means... a strength for both
- Scott is a b2b carrier, but I would not trust him with a high volume of touches/passes; WZE, on the other hand, is quite accustomed to possession-heavy sequences and is the more accomplished progressor via pass; he's also objectively more accurate in just about every facet (probably even when controlling for position/time to pass/availability of options too)
- they're both good out of possession in their own right: Scott covers lots of ground, defends the box as well as further forwards, WZE (by nature of being mostly a full back this season) defends wide areas well and encounters more 1v1 duels rather than 50/50 situations

I think WZE is the more valuable profile in a vacuum. More versatility, more control on the ball, and three years younger, so a higher theoretical development ceiling.

Scott is valuable in his own right, but I think he's limited in terms of the kind of partner/role needed to maximize him.

So if you want a b2b goal threat, you'd prefer Scott. If you want something else, you'd prefer WZE.

[CounterPressers @CounterPressers]

Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge is easily my favourite duo in football.

Two mavericks exchanging space, ideas & the ball; on the same wavelength at all times. The things I would do to see the career of Daniel Sturridge without injuries; would be England’s 2nd best CF of the last 15 years.

[Watch LFC @Watch_LFC]

Magnes Akliouche is a technical wizard who makes perfect decisions in build up and transitions.

If we sell Gakpo then we need to get him and Diomande.

[𝔐𝔒.𝕃𝔸𝕄𝕀 𝖃𓃵 @Lameerz]

I speak for all Liverpool fans when I say this should be our RW next season

[CounterPressers @CounterPressers]

Selling Curtis Jones before allowing Andoni Iraola to get his hands on him would be such a mistake. He is a perfect Iraola midfielder.

There’s no world in which 27 year old Alexis Mac Allister represents a more viable midfield option than Jones.

[AD @ad_hamlin]

In my eyes, a bigger talent than [redacted]. And, on top of that, a left footed RW which are a rarer breed.
