@msmmcglau @Joshnffc16 How’s the bacon did you say?

@lee_ryder Unfortunately was always going to happen. You could see 10 minutes prior to the goal that changes were needed as palace made their changes which changed the dynamic. Miley, Murphy and Osula, needed to be changed and weren’t, which allowed palace to settle into their rhythm

Most players get this wrong for years.
They follow a trainer who posts incredible content. Flashy sessions. Big names in the caption. And they assume that's what development looks like.
It isn't.
I trained Alex Morgan for 12 years. Not 12 sessions. Not 12 months. Twelve years. From the Beverly Hills field sessions in 2012, through World Cups, Olympics, pregnancies, comebacks, and everything in between.
What made that work wasn't the drills. It was the accumulated knowledge of one player's game, built rep by rep, season by season, until I knew her tendencies better than most coaches who'd worked with her directly. And she knew I did.
That's the difference between a trainer and a developer.
A trainer shows up, runs a session, and posts the clip. A developer shows up, studies the player, identifies the specific gap, builds a plan, and comes back next week to see if it transferred to the game. Then the week after. Then the year after.
The viral clip gets the attention. The relationship gets the result.
I see parents spend thousands chasing the trainer with the biggest following. I understand it. The content looks good. The players in the videos look good. But ask one question: how long have they worked with any of those players? If the answer is one session, or a camp, or a week, that's a highlight reel. Not a development program.
Real development is unglamorous. It's the same session done 50 times because the player needs 50 repetitions before it shows up in a game under pressure. It's the debrief after a bad performance, not just the celebration after a good one. It's being honest with a player when she's avoiding her weakness instead of letting her stay comfortable.
If you are a player or a parent looking for genuine development, the question to ask is not how popular is this person. The question is how long have they stayed with any player, and what happened to that player over time.
The proof is in the long game. It always has been.

2 scorers today shouldn’t even be playing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Ashley Wormall @coachwormall]

@warrenbarton2 2 blatant yellow cards last week for ferman and yamal that wasn’t given, which would’ve had them suspended today. And yet both players tonight score…

[Ashley Wormall @coachwormall]

A combination from 2 players who shouldn’t even have been playing in this games as they should’ve been suspended! Great goal, but can’t feel somewhat aggrieved that they weren’t booked in the previous leg for blatant fouls

One of these was given as a handball and a pen…

@stevedaviesseo @MsiDouglas Are you sure? From my understanding David Ornstein works for the Athletic, which is owned by the New York Times
Who has a stake in the Boston Red Sox
Which is owned by John Henry. So whilst not directly owning it, there is a very strong link which shows in my opinion

@Plettigoal You say he could’ve earned more at Newcastle what was the difference and did both parties offer the same but the waiver helped the deal?

@JackFawcett1704 This structure of Newcastle’s press in every game, in a man to man system. Just a heads up, this wasn’t planned for Amorim’s system. go watch the Liverpool final, Arsenal semi finals, you’ll see instances where our center back wins the ball from the press on the edge of the box
