King Kante 1,643 Posted January 5, 2024 Share Posted January 5, 2024 (edited) 1 hour ago, Vesper said: I am not a massive fan of just looking at stats in isolation but those aerial duels stats are worrying. On of the reasons why it can be hard to judge a CB from other leagues is there ability to deal with aerial balls, so it seems he only has a small sample size on this in Portugal - which is to be expected - but does a add an element of risk. Personally, I really like the kid from what I have actually seen but the stats would give me pause for thought - even if the rest of the stats are what I was expecting from what I have seen. Hoping the scouting team look at his aerial duels to see if it is due to the nature of the league he is playing in, or if he avoids them.

nyikolajevics 2,836 Posted January 6, 2024 Share Posted January 6, 2024 4 hours ago, Mário César said: who we have so many injuries? jesus christ I know, right? Look at this piece of diamond from .com’s article: “Another player who will definitely not be involved against Preston is Nicolas Jackson, who has joined up with the Senegal squad for their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations campaign. However, our head coach believes that could provide good opportunities for fellow strikers Armando Broja and Christopher Nkunku over the next month, as they both look to regain their full fitness and form following lengthy injuries.” So we have 3 stirkers(if we consider Nkunku a striker). One just left for Afcon, two “seem to regain fitness”.. Tragic.. And what if Broja regains his fitness? He is still Broja. What about this Washington kid? He was on the bench many times but only played few minutes, on a lost game. Is he any good? Is he playing for reserves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rice, Rodri, Bellingham 100% worth it yes as all 3 are outstanding and leading players in their positions. Likes of Musiala, Pedri, Valverde, Tchouameni, Odegaard bordering towards it. Rest still got a lot to prove before being bracketed as £100m players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , too much conditioning and not enough strength. Should be building hamstrings , hip flexors , quads etc not running constantly with no breaks in their schedule. They need to chill with constant games including needless internationals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
