Tough day at the office for Monaco. Lost 6-1. Balo subbed off just after Monaco grabbed the goal, I think.
He was as active as he could be but Real Madrid defenders were DRAPED all over Flo. His back to goal a lot and then he had a few minor chances. But it was Real’s constant threatening that made the game impossible for Monaco.
Balogun starts! Monaco on the road, playing Nice. Not-so-nice Balogun with an early yellow card. Still 0-0 at 30’ …
Balogun went the full distance in a 0-0 draw. Frustrating, but as I always say, you can’t score if your team doesn’t score.
Pepi injured... Balo and Wright not scoring.... Things are not looking good for USMNT strikers right now.
Bit Pat is probably 4th in line at this point... and if his and Wright's form persist I think he could snag a spot on the WC squad. Sargent is done and dusted WRT 2026 IMO.
Said it before in jest, but now I'm not sure about the jest. Wes starting 9. Balo or Pepi off the bench.
He has literally never played that position. I'd rate his chances and your chances at starting at the 9 as about the same.
Twice in December 2018. Got an assist in one of them. The only positions he hasn’t played according to Transfermarkt are LW and GK.
Oh man, now you tell me because I literally just bet the house on it, and it's a really nice house. It's not like Wes scored this week and Balo didn't anyway... oh wait. Ladbrokes, I have a vacation home to wager! Hang on!
Wes is playing very high at Juve atm. Interchanging and playing close to and off of David. Almost as a second forward or second striker. I think Mckennie as a 9 wouldn't be a terrible idea. Bro has goals in him, can hold the ball better than Balo or Pepi, can knock balls down and one touch pass to runners better. he's a monster in the air. I'd like to see it.
