Mbappe does not have the IQ to play football “very” effectively without his speed. Calm, and don’t drag me yet.

Do you know why Messi is still effective at his age despite being slower? It’s because he has learned how to play football without having to run too much.

At some point, Mbappe’s speed will reduce, but he doesn’t have that much IQ to survive so much without it.

On dead ball situations where he doesn’t have to run, just watch, he’s less effective. He can’t drop a mad line-breaking pass, he can’t wiggle around players. I mean, anything that doesn’t involve his speed, he’s less effective. Of course he’s done a lot without his speed, but he’s less potent, I hope you don’t misunderstand this part.

Mbappe is deadliest on transition. Same with Barcola and Dembele. If a team is in shape, these guys are not effective, e.g Paraguay…you can also see the France team, they don’t intend to keep the ball, their only plan is to wait for you to lose it and they play it to those 4 guys, you are finished.

Please listen to Thierry Henry. He said he was so quick and relied on his speed, a coach had to tell him at some point to play without his speed. This made him think more and play more with his brain.

As Mbappe grows, his speed will slow down, he still has more than 10 years to play, and I hope he can learn that part where he can be effective without speed. Cristiano scored more after 30 years old when his speed had reduced.

I hope you guys get my point, I know many will still misunderstand it.

Done! ❤️ And honestly, accounts that spend their days saving lives deserve to be seen, not buried by an algorithm. Keep fighting for the voiceless—we'll keep liking, sharing, and supporting. Beethoven deserves all the love. 🐾❤️🔥

EXPLOSIVE!
Watch this video. The freaking case on which suo moto was taken was a big fake. The child didn't have rabies. But see what followed, extreme propaganda and cruel unscientific judgements!
Dogs like Aloka were given a death sentence on this?!

Joy, that's what it's all about.

Thanks, Pep.

[Tahira Animal Welfare Foundation - TAWF @tawf_uk]

Every single day is a struggle.
We cry. We beg. We show the desperation of the lives in our care —
yet days pass with no donations and very little help.

No new followers. Our stories aren’t spreading — and when people don’t see them, help doesn’t come.

Funds run short every day.
Bills keep piling up.
Animals keep arriving broken, hungry, and cold.

Thank you from the heart to those who do help — you are the reason we’re still standing.

Please… if you can’t donate, follow and share.
Your share can become someone else’s lifeline.
Visibility brings help. Silence costs lives.

And if you can help financially — even a little — it truly keeps us going.

Please don’t look away. We can’t do this alone.

I'll talk from my own experience and from talking with @Ben_Mattinson_ for a long time.

Watching 1min of someone can give you enough insight to see natural talent, the way they receive the ball, their contact with the ball, scanning, how they move without the ball, reaction time, etc.

It's hard to explain but once you play football and if logic is your friend, you tend to automatically spot these things without thinking about them.

Doesn't matter if player is 13 or 18, or 25, doesn't matter where he plays, these signs are always there and everything else is what fills the gaps and round them out as a player.

For me there are few major things to look for:

- Feel for the game - without this, it's almost impossible to make it, you need it to succeed in any position on the pitch. Attacking the space, defending the space, getting yourself open to receive the pass, blocking passing lanes, etc. This is what makes players fit tactically in different roles, systems and what gives them additional edge over others.

- Technical ability - your base level, doesn't have to be silky touch, your passing doesn't need to be KDB-level impressive - it's just matter of how well and how consistently you execute your actions. Check Bruno for example, his technical ability won't leave you speechless as it's not backed by flair, but he executes everything on a high level, consistently, without a fail.
Shooting, passing, ball control, etc.

- Physical level - Natural athletes are the easiest to spot and judge, but you can have stiff athletes without pace that have engine to run for days. Simply by knowing how to use their bodies they succeed, and these things can be spotted easily too once you figure them out.
Balance, agility (ability to turn), explosiveness over first few steps, pace, strength, jumping.

- Mentality - this one is the hardest to figure out, but body language, work-rate, consistency throughout 90mins, ability to do well with minimal involvement, staying relevant - once things go bad, do you bounce back or sink with rest of your team?

Most of these things come naturally and aren't something you think about all that much while watching the player, but once you dig deeper, check more footage, check advanced data (thanks fbref and others) - you can confirm some of the things you see.

Eyetest was always more relevant than data, but data gives you objective way of judging players, makes it standardized and way easier to know which players to look and dig deeper into. If you see someone completing 4 dribbles per 90 with 60% success rate, you'll want to see it, if you see a player that tops the chart in multiple dueling and defensive categories, you'll want to see it.

That's how it starts and it ends with watching matches, footage.

Data->Video footage->Live Matches

That's how I do it, that's how Ben does it, but often you'll spot someone else worth your time while watching the guy that peaked your interest initially, because eyetest is a lovely thing.

If the full-backs end up in the half-spaces dynamically through a combination, a rotation, or a specific situation, it makes sense. If they are the primary occupants of the half-spaces, it does not.

We also have to understand how coaches end up in situations where the likes of Hincapié and Timber are occupying the half-spaces. For out-of-possession reasons, many coaches want a 4–2 base of “defensive” players, since the 4–4–2 is the primary zonal block structure being used, and they also want to attack with five players on the last line, as per the positional play norm. So one of the “defensive” players has to join the attacking line, which is usually the full-back. There is also a strong preference to have natural wingers on both sides, as was the case with Maresca, so the only zone the full-back can move into is the half-space.

The half-spaces are dimensionally superior to the wings, since you can play at 360 degrees, while on the wings you can only play at 180 degrees due to the touchline. This is why the most valuable attacking players have primarily played in the half-spaces or centrally throughout football history. I would much rather have natural half-space players with the full-back providing width than “natural wingers” with the full-back in the half-spaces.

You could also have natural interiors and natural wingers in the same team, as Guardiola did for so long, but then the zonal block would have to be closer to a 4–1–4–1 to make up for the lack of a second defensive midfielder, or you play a 4–4–2 block with one of the double pivot players not being perfectly suited to it. Arteta and others simply do not want to make that trade-off for out-of-possession reasons.

Dogs are not the problem. Administrative failure is. Punishing animals for failed implementation of law is injustice, not governance.

@pallab_pratim_ Been crying out for him to get called up to the first team. Instantly becomes the second biggest wife threat in the team, let's Lamine go central, which is where his future lies

@fahdahmed987 The game changes once you start looking at things from a relational perspective. It's easy to forget that at the end of the day, it boils down to what sort of relationship you can form with your teammates. Knowing when to break out of a positional structure is everything now.

Pablo Aimar: “In football, when two players see the same play, it’s almost unstoppable. That’s why analysis is overrated. Football is about feelings.”

[Bharath Sangali @bharathsangali1]

@fahdahmed987 Mandzukic for Juve and Atleti comes to mind. They'd use him to win the long balls of gks and crosses at the back post, so he'd start from the wings

What kind of city do we want Delhi to be?
A city of compassion and coexistence?
Or a city that treats its most vulnerable as disposable?

We are small so our voice does not always get out there. So today I am begging all animal lovers to spread the word against the atrocities being committed on the dogs of Turkey. They are being massacred as we speak. Please God make this stop 😢💔🙏🏼

[Bharath Sangali @bharathsangali1]

@FCBVeljas This is the most optimal approach to me. It maximizes Lamine/Roony, and let's our RBs stay a bit further back, which suits their natural game far more.

We have been sharing our life saving work for over 9 years. We have saved hundreds of lives and are trying to change the lives for the street animals of Pakistan. But we are sad to say that we are slowly going under. We still have to pay for the land, buy a new rescue van and on top we are no longer able to meet the monthly costs for running the shelter. We have no celebrity status with millions of followers or donations. Just a group of individuals trying to save lives in a country where there is little regard for human or animal lives. Sad to say our future is uncertain. There is a limit to how much we can beg or plead. Just heartbroken as us small rescues work just as hard as a large organisation 💔. Thank you for reading 🙏🏼 #smallrescuevisability
