First of all, thanks for reading @LouisZ - appreciate it! As I noted in the write up, "Classification descriptions are meant to characterize the average of each cluster as a whole. Not all descriptors will match each individual player exactly." What I was trying to communicate in these two sentences (and perhaps poorly ), is that the descriptions describe the average of each cluster of players. To use this particular example: Cameron was clustered with similar players. When you look at the mean attributes of the group Cameron was clustered with, the mean size is average. This is not to say "every player in this cluster is average sized." Hope that helps clarify.
Thanks for clarifying your point but even then, I think you missed the mark in that area. Let me go further, if you categorize the typical big CB you will see that most fall in the 6'4 or 6'3 range and a CB in the 5'9 to 5'11 is usually considered a small CB and 6' to 6'2 is a medium size.
Alfredo played very well today. Centrally, behind the front line, mostly. He made some key interceptions on defense and covered a lot of ground. I do hope Bruce calls him in.

Grifo, the guy who got the penalty for Freiburg's first goal, sliced through Morales in that play, too. That was in the 34', and Fredo went out right after that.

absolute hogwash! Ingo play a 5-3-2, two clearances off the line and Vidal gets an offside goal in 90'. Robben goal is just trash given that Ingo was deflated to be jobbed at the end. I remember a time when even part time starters at CM mid level BL teams would get a lock start on the USMNT for 7 years. Morales, not even a sniff.
The thing about Morales is, he's not particularly great at anything. If he was a better tackler or anticipated better he could be a good DM. He can switch the ball and make that forward pass from the center. He's not great at going forward either. We have more CM who make more of an impact than him
CM's who aren't particularly good at anything have been our bread and butter for 20 years. JOB was probably the last truly all around CM in our player pool. And that lasted 3 years. Mastroeni as DM was very good, but he was also a liability. We got JJ one cycle too late. Imagine him in 2010? He would have chewed the prince up and spit out a frog. What could ahve been.

I think he is an excellent tackler, his field vision is very good as well, I think everything else he does is just ok and for a player playing a position where we have others that can do the same, he becomes expendable. The player I wished had Morales touch and vision is Williams, Williams is faster, stronger, can score but he doesn't have the ball touch of a Morales.
