I'm jus here to chill ✌🏿

@thecoconutoil @returnxx0 @ConnCFC I don’t even think it’s a crazy starting point because that was also their first bid to Leverkusen last season

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@Gotham_HER0 @Francis21531088 @luma_official_ @cyclonUK It doesn’t matter if it touched Veiga or not if you check the offside rule and its regulations

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty Everyone is part of the team…so he should not embrace him because he’s not seeing plenty minutes? He will see at least 2 more WCs…now he should be focusing on making the most impact he can whenever he’s on the pitch

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty Instead of fighting the coach he should use the time he gets to prove the coach wrong. For instance there was a chance late in the game where Cherki had a lot of space and it was 3v3. All he had to do was make the right pass and it would be 4-0. But he messed up the pass

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty Simple…he subbed out Dembele not Olise. Olise was having a great game and Dembele was struggling a bit. If he subbed out Olise, Cherki would’ve entered. It’s frustrating and I understand his frustration. But he has to accept it at the international level.

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty It’s fine if you don’t accept it as a point…I’m just telling you how the coach views the players and it’s been cemented by how he makes his subs as well. If you don’t agree with it then that’s okay as well

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty PSG buy the best French players most of the time. Cherki was in Lyon for years. If PSG wanted him they would’ve bought him

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty I didn’t argue that Cherki can play anywhere. I know he can. But the way he plays LW is different from the way Barcola plays LW. His best position is 10. For his team, the coach prefers the way Barcola plays LW to the way Cherki plays it. They’re both different

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty If you check back we started the argument with why he wasn’t starting but you’ve conceded that one no wahala. The team planning was this

Mbappe/Mateta
Olise/Cherki
Doue/Barcola
Dembele/Akliouche

That’s how the team was picked. And every time he’s been subbed on it’s for Olise

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty Barcola is getting minutes because for what the coach needs on his LW he provides it the best. Cherki’s competition for this team is Olise. A coach wants his LW to be a runner and stretch the defense. Cherki was brought to the team as Olise back up and that’s his role

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty Again I’ve not argued that he shouldn’t get more minutes…that wasn’t the argument initially…I only explained why I believed he wasn’t starting and why I don’t think it’s crazy he’s not starting.

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty If they didn’t call him now it’ll be another argument entirely because Everton will be asking why. There are certain games when you will without a doubt need more creators…when games are tight and they need a goal…those are the opportunities he should wait for and snatch

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty Earlier in the argument you said that he’s not seeing up to 30 mins…he’d been subbed on twice and played 30mins against Norway and then 25 mins against Iraq but you were still upset

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty All the players in that France bench are all training hard. You’re a professional footballer and you’re at the WC…when they bring you on, take your chance and make your impact and be happy for the team and your country. At this stage it’s about France and not any individual

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty If they subbed Cherki that 75 min, you would still have made the same complaint that he’s not getting minutes or playing up to 30 mins. So in the end you would still have argued the same argument. I’m not against subbing him in and I’ve not argued that he should t be subbed in

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty I said no coach will want to make any changes when they’re winning. The next thing I said is that they would start making the changes towards the end of the game: 60-70min. This time they made the first change of the game 75 min. So clearly the point is valid

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty He subbed Doue on 75 min. If he subbed Cherki on 75 min you would still be complaining

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty I don’t think you understood me. I said if a team is defending deep, I would want more creators on the pitch. As a result I would want both Cherki and Olise to start together.

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty This argument started with Cherki not starting. You wanted him to start. Then I explained to you why he’s not starting and now we’ve changed it to you wanted him to be subbed on. I’ve not had any arguments against him being subbed on.

[alvin_a @abea1210]

@NEUTRAL__MCty Did I say it won’t end well? The only thing I said is that no coach will want to make changes when everybody is playing well and the team is playing well as a whole. It’s not about Cherki. It could be Palmer for all I care and I love Palmer more than any other player
