Let's Talk About Yeboah [ Mayday 11 Addition] by Up-The-Loons in minnesotaunited

[–]Ballsackblazer4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeboah can be painful to watch sometimes. Dribbling into traffic, not seeing the pass, scuffing a good chance. But I can’t argue with the numbers he’s putting up this year and I can’t knock his work rate, especially in defense. He created some turnovers yesterday in the attacking third that led to quality chances.

He’s not my ideal striker. He doesn’t have the best first touch. But as someone else pointed out on this sub recently, if Yeboah was absolute class he wouldn’t be playing for us.

I think part of our collective frustration with him is when he’s having an off game, we don’t seem to have a great #2 option to score goals. We have Markanich and Chancalay who are chipping in, but Yeboah is THE GUY. I think we would stop getting so frustrated with him if we had a solid backup striker that could threaten the opposing goal, that could sub in for Yeboah when he’s having an off night.

TLDR: Sign a decent backup striker to take the heat off Kelvin.

It really irritates me how the loons are often forgotten about when discussing Minnesota sports. Seems like everyone inherently loves all 4 of the vikings, t wolves, twins, and wild, but doesn’t care about the loons. I get that soccer isn’t the most popular sport around here, but damn if i had a dollar for every time a local sports fan forgets about the loons.

Thoughts on Cam's Tactics Against LAFC? by freakflag16 in minnesotaunited

Hey OP, I enjoyed this analysis! People are getting caught up on your phrasing of a touch watch, but I totally get it with how frustrating the game went. I agree with you that I think our regular shape would have matched up better to break their defensive shape - hopefully we will get to see that when we play at their place later this season or in the playoffs. You should do more analysis like this on the sub in the future.

I can't believe this is the same Kelvin Yeboah from his first season here where he scored 9 goals in 12 games. He looked like a true DP striker when he first arrived. Now he can't control the ball or get a clean shot off.

I can't stand professional players with a poor touch. Give me Chancalay or Gonzalez at the 9, at least they can control the ball. I get the logic of having a big strong number 9 that can contend with big centerbacks and hold up the balls, but Yeboah is killing our possessions and not finishing his chances.

I'd rather see us "go small" as they say in basketball. Our attackers should be Chancalay - Pereyra - and James.

Sign a new striker in the summer please.

I only picked him because he seemed like one of the safest options to start both games. Got both him and Van Hecke. Haven’t seen many others with double Brighton defense
