    He needs to carry a blood pack in his cheek every game forward, "In case of emergency, break capsule, fight on."

    Weah getting positive reviews, fwiw. Ex.:

    https://firstsportz.com/uefa-champions-league-rb-salzburg-vs-lille/

    Timothy Weah (7/10) : Timothy just managed to get the sixty minutes of game time before he got substituted. He did extremely well with sweeping the ball of Salzburg player’s feets[sic]. He was good with tackles and he found two of his attempts at goal blocked in the defence.

    There's more out there but not in English. Fans also reacted positively to his outing.

    Timmy with a nice looking assist in the final seconds. Game was pretty much over, but it was nice to see. Hope he stays healthy and keeps up the good form.

    He also should have had an assist soon after he came on before OM went down a man. He was playing on the left and teammate put him in on left and he went endline in penalty box and put in great pass back to Ikone in center of box who flubbed his lines and hit the crossbar. He deserved that assist at the end.

    Very hard-done to not even have more goal-production in his 20 minutes.

    That was exquisite.. bringing down that high ball full sprint, somehow maintaining his last bit of balance to get that pass off. Nice!

    Looking at the last 2 tapes...

    Needs to still work on his dribbling touch and is a bit too much straight-lined when taking on attackers (too obvious), but one can see the explosiveness at times and also his willingness to get forward.

    He plays balls well into the box, and cushion balls really well on incoming passes.

    Work in progress. Critical time in his development to refine his touch more while keeping the same pace of play if he wants to become regular starter and even superstar. He's promising still, no doubt. It can be done.

    I marvel at the dribbling economy of Mo Salah and his improvement over the years. His control just seems tighter and tighter and his angles on attack expanding. Honed on the training pitch, no doubt. A player who is hungry to get better still, and it propelled him to his higher levels. A living legend and lesson for all these kids how to do it.

    The OM game is on repeat on BeIn (I think that's what's on my tube rn) if anyone cares to catch Weah's sub appearance in full...

    Not starting today's CL match, so we'll wait for a heroic late arrival.

    If they draw, Sizzleburg would be on 7 points in first and Sevilla would be in second place with 3 points. Amazing. (And LIlle would be tied with Wolfsburg for last with 2 points.)

    70' Ikone on for Sanches - still no Weah. Weah has had 4 days rest between games so should be fit.
