Scofield that tattooed POSEIDON face in his palms so he can use it to access his office through facial recognition scan? Is that the Scofield you people are comparing to Raymond reddington?? Jokes π
I think Enzo Fernandez has been amazing this season, but I felt this game against Arsenal, Chelsea needed a player who can shoot from outside the box, the half chances that Enzo had, if that was a Lampard back then, you know those shots would trouble the keeper!!
Imagine playing week in, week out on top-quality pitches in Europe, then coming to Yabatech field to play. You definitely won't give the same output. It isn't rocket science. The pitch will significantly affect your performance. In fact, if you give the same output, you won't be consistent, and the ratio of good to poor performances would be very close.
This is why there aren't many underdog or "upset" stories at this AFCON. The pitches in Morocco are standard and high quality. That is why the teams that are actually strong on paper are winning.
The correlation between pitch quality and player output is as direct as it gets.
