    Game has been tied since the 61st minute. Palace is up a man though and hanging on for dear life to get the draw.

    The important part about Richards today in his 11+5 minute cameo is that he looked semi-comfortable in his RB role sitting back and winning headers.

    He almost set up a winner with a header off a corner in stoppage time.

    Keep it up Chris. It will be sooo huge if Richards stays healthy and solidifies his spot at CP between now and Nov.

    McKennie was flop of the match for Juventus in their 3-0 home opener victory over Sasuolo.

    It was distressing to see old man Angel DiMaria sprint 40 yds in a race with a defender to get to a 50/50 ball, Vlahovic recognizing the run and busting a gut to get into the box where he rec'd the ball from DiMaria, turns to shoot or lay off, only to find McKennie was nowhere to be found for the tap in, forcing a less than ideal shot that was off target. Allegri tried McK in 3 different positions. At outside left mid he seemed disinterested, at left central mid he missed his assignment as just described and after some subs he was pushed up top as a forward but misplaced a pass badly on a break up the gut with no pressure on him.

    What a great game it was just watching DiMaria put on a display of the best football you'll see anywhere. Juve will not be dropping points to middling teams as long as he stays healthy. They look like best of breed in Serie A considering that Pogba will be getting back in before long as well. McKennie needs to show something if he expects to get many minutes when Pogba comes back.

    It seems to me that LDLT, Aaronson, TIlman, Reyna are all ahead of McKennie. I don't even see McKennie passing out peanuts on the plane to Qatar at this point.

    LMAO is this your position or a prediction?

    Behind Aaronson, maybe. Reyna, LDLT have to actually play to surpass him and Tillman is scoring against St. Johnstone. But yes, I'm sure he's totally out of the picture.

    I tend to think Ebobisse is irrelevant unless we hire a different coach in '23. He got that January '19 call up from Berhalter, and zilch since no matter what he did on the field. It's been kinda odd.

    Ledezma, just a bummer in general, and I have no idea if he's gonna get healthy and be fine or go the way of O'Brien, Renken, Gyau, Holden etc, who eventually just couldn't stay healthy (I suppose Gyau eventually got healthy). I just tend to get nervous when guys get repeatedly injured, and it's brutal what a shady, ---- tackle it was. Reminds me of an article I read about Maradona in the '86 world cup. Set a record, drawing 53 fouls in the tournament, 11 in one match apparently.

    Thank God that version of the game is gone.

    I would say it is hard to crack DiMaria’s Argentine team, but USMNT? As long as he doesn’t foul play the team rules......

    I do think we will have a new coach in 2023 that’s where I make the assumption. New coach will ask likely have at least some interest on fringe guys

    I had a few minutes tonight to take a closer look at Tuchel's coaching record and this is even a worse take than I originally thought. In his two seasons at Dortmund they were the highest and second highest scoring team in the Bundesliga (in his first they scored 35 more league goals than the prior season, Jurgen Klopp's last in charge at Dortmund). In two and a half seasons at PSG his team's averaged 2.67 goals per game in Ligue 1 (which works out to almost 102 goals in a 38 game season). Hell, last season (his first full season at the Bridge) Chelsea scored more than 70 goals (76 to be exact) for the first time since they won the league back in 2016-17. Look, I get the frustration with Pulisic's situation, but it's leading folks to say some silly things.

    Oh, and since you mentioned Werner's goal on Saturday, take a look at this screamer...

    I give Werner tons of credit. He always gave full effort and a lot of players would have gotten down with the miserable G/xg he had but he kept going. When it became clear that Chelsea wasn't a good option for him, he took something on the order of 40-50% pay cut to go to RBL. He is a footballer and Bundesliga will suit him well.

    Yeah his confidence was in the gutter at Chelsea There was a time, when he was at his lowest, where he as having problems even trapping the ball cleanly.

    One thing never lost was his movement of the ball. He's one of those guys that just has a sense of where to be on the field and when to be there.

    Your original post here said he was not going to hand out peanuts on the flight to Qatar which is pretty far fetched. Its reasonable that he could potentially not start every group stage game but he is 100% on the roster if healthy.
