Tim Weah played RB for Lille. He looked comfortable there to the degree that Juve bought him.
Wes got run into from behind in the box and went down. Maybe got rolled up. It hurt but he came back on and played at about full speed.
If a player wasn’t fit I would tell him that he would have a limited role, but that’s me.
I agree that Scally gets some “backup QB” love and some agenda boost but, on a sporting level (which is where I operate) he’s not the default...
Adams also has a history of back issues that pre-exist hamstring trouble.
[MEDIA] I would do this against Bolivia and/or Panama. Maybe 4231 on D if only one of Gio/Malik is good to go. Wes does distribution, box...
He played there for Bayern’s reserves but that seems very premature and risky. Booth has a good deal in common with JOB but he’s smaller and...
In Ligue 1, compared to other FWs he’s 76th percentile for npG/90 and 69th for npxG/90 (both at .44). He’s above average but not best XI like...
Trusty got cooked on Burnley’s 3rd. Scally assist as a sub on BMG’s 2nd. Brooks turned the ball over in Hoff’s third which led to the corner on...
With one year left on his deal Juve are not going to get €20m plus if clubs rate him at €25m.
Wes came on at RWB.
I said “that coefficient”, which was the single season one, the one be used to justify the proposition that the EPL is not the best league. It...
This is CONMEBOL’s tournament. I would expect Spanish language media to be paying more attention and getting more focus.
Immediately prior to the leg break Gio was largely a late game sub for BVB who people thought Terzic was only trusting when they needed to chase a...
I don’t love the EPL but it is the best league. That coefficient is not a serious attempt at measuring league strength....
[MEDIA] Additional context.
[MEDIA] I think this is due to a bit of a dip in the talent pool not replacing the guys who have moved on/aged out.
I screwed up and looked at this season for MLS (which hasn’t had the full release) instead of last season. In 2023 there were 99 players who made...
Have heard that only MLS is offering more to Wes than he’s currently getting at Juve.
In possession schemes are built for this and what coaches dislike is when a player fails to put in the effort to recover in transition. In offense...
There are fewer and fewer jobs at the top of the game where a player can pick and choose when and where to defend. If you want to pick and choose...
Gio became petulant after his attempt to hide his fitness status was discovered (because the physical output data was showing that he wasn’t...
Gio rarely played as an 8 for BVB. The vast, vast majority of minutes have come on the attacking line behind the ST at AM, RM, or LM. In the game...
Sorry bub, he wasn’t fit and the public tracking data shows he didn’t open up his legs against England. The non-public data says he couldn’t...
In the Dutch league there are like 36 guys who make at least $1m and 104 who make at least $500k. In Ligue 1 it’s 162 and 290. In MLS it’s 78 and 205.
