You can tell who doesn't watch Arsenal by how they talk about Rice as a player. Rice doesn't always release the ball fast, ball carrying is one of his strongest attributes and he's often involved in the final third as well
Unfortunately the tacticos were right, Rodri isn't a Flick DM. Flick's system needs a Rice type DM who'll run like a cheetah defensively, win his duels and quickly pass the ball to the superior players(attackers).
There's truth to this but it's very exaggerated and reactionary. I think you need runners around him who cover a lot of ground while he controls the tempo of the game. I remain firm in my belief that he would have been a much better fit at Madrid playing next to Tchou or Cama
These guys think Rodri is an elite big-space defender. It shows they didn’t watch him at City.
Rodri has always been terrible at defending large spaces. This is why Pep plays four CBs to protect him. He even plays another CB (Stones) as his pivot partner, keeps the defensive line deep and maintains compact distances between the defence, midfield and attack.
His weaknesses are being exposed in Flick’s suicidal, big-space defending system.
@Kurr_da_goat 3ds library is still very strong of course. I just think the DS has the best library of any pure handheld ever. I would genuinely put it over the PSP and even GBA
DS library clear so hard
- Better Pokemon games
- The better 2D Mario
- The better Mario Kart
- Higher volume of games that make good use of the dual screen or touch screen gimmick
- So many beautiful 2d pixelart games instead of blurry 3d
@pitogordisimo They just nailed the artstyle. GBA pixelart but with more detail and a gorgeous colour palette. They should have iterated on that instead of the ugly 3d of the later games
@Kurr_da_goat Hard disagree on Mario 3d land. It's aight but it feels like a poor man's version of 3d world whereas NSMB is more focused and has better level design that its own Wii counterpart. The same way Mario Kart 7 feels like a prelude to MK8 whereas Mario Kart DS is one of the best ones
It's the birthday for our little rascal son who turns 2 today! My wife made the cake and except for the figurines it's all by hand, doesn't it look sick?
@AyariGoat@omega30191 You guys are not Sunderland from last season who were flying high and defying their XG. Brighton has actually been the real deal and their performances match their underlying metrics. There might be a drop off but it won't be a massive one
12 hommes en colère, c’est ce genre de vieux film que les puristes te vendent comme un chef d’œuvre absolu alors que c’est juste 1 mec qui débat pendant 1h30 avec 11 autres dans une pièce fermée puis tu finis par regarder et c’est vrai c’est un putain de chef d’œuvre
@Afurology Hoe zijn ze de seizoen begonnen met deze selectie van middenvelder en verdedigers. Het is niet dat ik Baleba heel hoog rate ofzo maar hij is de enige echte DM die ze hebben en toch weer Tielemans daar die in slow motion druk zet samen met Bruno chaosball 😭
@Skorpowse True and what i've seen a lot as well in Islam in my experience is the inverse where younger women take on an even more demeaning world view in an oddly competitive way to their parents' generation
The men can afford to be more relaxed about it cause all these rules are tailored towards them. They don't have to justify their suffering to themselves cause they don't suffer
Anyone that has grown up in an extremely conservative religious family will know that the female adult figures are the strongest upholders and teachers of patriarchal beliefs. Their buy-in to it has to be much stronger to prevent their lack of benefit from eating them up inside
