Senior Team Discussion

The passing was rough today

 

Greece parking the bus already

 

Pioooo

 

U17's join the U16's as European Champions. Truthfully I feel bad for the Belgium #18. That boy missed his PK but the skill level is insane.

 

I think he must have forgot this game.


Out of curiosity I did a bit of Grok'ing and it took it 12s to debunk this.

thought for 12s

Seems like hyperbole.

 

Lupo should have had that. Bad mistake.

 

Let's hope the suits don't ruin these boys as well.

 

Team playing well but Ekhator and Ahanor not playing too well. They are either late or their feet let them down a bit.

 

Pio should have had a 2nd goal there.

 

Chiarodia was playing well but a missed tackle and bad pass and he's come down to earth a bit.

 

Ahanor looks pretty awful. Lots of fouls.

 

Lipani has a little Busquets to his game. He's had a good half.

 

Better than watching Cristante and slowwww Locatelli

 

He has "tempismo". Really good sense of the game and how to move the ball out of trouble.

 

Koleosho is one of the few players willing to dribble past his man. He's had a decent first half.

 

Koleosho off the crossbar from in close.

 

If only Ndour had feet, he'd be amazing.

 

Plays Koleosho for 1.5 - 2 matches. What was the purpose of bringing Inacio? Go to hell, Baldini.

 

Luca Reggiani subbing On.

 

Simple balls just shank off Ndour's feet.

 

I like Koleosho's speed and work rate. I just think sometimes he plays so frenetically that he doesn't arrive fresh in front of goal where he can be clinical.

 

Let's hope they can find their way out of Italy and get some actual playing time from 18-21 years old

 

Stiff as a board

 

Ndour with another giveaway but in the box.

 

Not sure who from these 2 matches will make September's team other than Pio, Pisilli, Gigio. If Baldini wasn't so romantic about wanting a last hurrah with his U21, could have brought Fagioli for these 2.
