Antoine Semenyo has textbook 1v1 fundamentals. If you want to improve yourself, have a friend who plays winger study him.

Don’t know if Soulé is in Gasperini’s plans but he would be a smart Eze replacement wrt creativity and goal threat. He most likely is though bc elite coach appreciates elite talent.

I’m fascinated by Sanchez. How is he so calm under pressure with his mistake ratio. Elite delusion.

Isak doesn’t need to have meant it, he made an 99% uncontrollable ball stick at the pen spot under pressure.

This is the closest Liverpool will be to us in the table until GW0 26/27.

Quoting a post by an individual to call out (expose) a group of people is absolutely poisonous. Hate it with a passion and it’s a snapshot of what’s wrong in our discourse, not just in this space. Signalling, constant performative demarcation. Engage in good faith or stfu!

There is a reason Chelsea went m2m all over the pitch but wouldn’t have done so last season.

Looks like Everton is almost keeping a +2 in their defensive unit to better deal with Palace’ central progression/minimal width.

Struggling a little bit with the 'oh, you didn't notice the incredible tactical role of Gyokeres against West Ham United' We've gone from expecting a goal a game, to flat track bully against weak teams, to celebrating the off-the-ball work and hard running in the space of 6

Wirtz might need the Ødegaard setup in the short to mid-term. Receiving the ball facing goal via a touchline LW attracting defenders.

On a sidenote, AFTV imploding during the season we’re finally winning a major is objectively hilarious.

This was supposed to be a sidenote

A defensive block always naturally pulls into 1 direction collectively. The ability to manipulate that pull is a BIG signifier of a top player. Baiting it directly or via 3rd man, performing actions against it. Metronomes, Mbappe’s finishing, Bellingham’s box crashing etc.
