Zakaria has a brace in the Derby de la Plage (or whatever they call it... 2-1 Monaco at 55 or so. No Flo yet, but at least it's midfielder getting the goals. Golovin has a YC as well, fwiw.

Another poor performance. Squandering three clear cut opportunities and then fails to clear a corner kick at the front post which leads to the go-ahead goal. Has to be in the running for most disappointing YA this season.
Yeah - really not looking sharp/confident at the moment. Is getting looks, but has not been able to finish (and, of course, the PKs)
Sometimes all it takes is getting a goal to get a striker back on track but things have gone off the rails a bit for Balo recently. I think there are parts of Balo's game that clearly needed work but the price tag and Monoco's ambitions are magnifying the struggles and weaknesses
Here's the goal that counted: FOLARIN BALOGUN GOAL 🇺🇸 FIFA going to need to immediately increase strength rating after this one. Absolutely rag dolls Lens defender before finishing with aplomb. 22-year-old Brooklyn-born striker’s fifth Ligue 1 goal of the season for Monaco. 💪 pic.twitter.com/f94ADKBPvk— Men in Blazers (@MenInBlazers) February 25, 2024
Monaco with a good win as they snatch it in the last minutes. Balo subbed out after the winning goal in a time-waste move. Keeps Monaco in 3rd and keeps Lens out of the Europe slots for the moment.
Folarin Balogun has taken five penalties for Monaco this season.He’s converted just one of them.— Zach Lowy (@ZachLowy) February 25, 2024
Fantastic individual effort. His body is maturing....he is developing power (a measure of raw explosive strength).
This isn't good, but its in times like this he will be reminded why being a US national team player is special...the environment is one of support and growth.
Balo, please pass your diet menu and body building routine to Aaronson brothers. Both of them. Oh, copy one to Parades.
I'd prefer to discuss his weight in big moments. Not the guy you want to see stepping up to take a key penalty, that is for certain.
