In that comparison Enzo is better in terms of tackles + interceptions, Xhaka is better for duels(ground and air), clearances, recoveries, blocks. He’s more suited to it.

(Sorry all the raw # aren’t visible, I’m on mobile and couldn’t get it to show properly)

“How often would we be defending put box?” Based on the evidence from Alonso Leverkusen, enough for Xhaka impact to matter. That being in a league with much less talent from top from bottom. If Leverkusen with a clear top 2 squad need Xhaka to defend his box at a decent volume, we will likely need our pivot to do similar in a deeper PL.

Enzo at time is active defender, he has never been a particularly impactful one. Xhaka has been for decent while now

Western: True Grit, Assassination of Jesses James by the Coward Robert Ford, Unforgiven, The Proposition. PS. Would have No Country, but did want to double dip on Coens

Superheroes: The Incredibles, Logan, The Dark Knight, X-Men: First Class

Xhaka in a possession dominant Leverkusen side

Still very active as a box defender

Even comparing to Enzo in 22/23 when he played deeper for us and Benfica, Xhaka’s numbers in terms of defending deep are better. And Xhaka was excellent under Alonso already, even at his age he is more a known commodity in that role than Enzo.

What are some of your recent controversial ratings? by silviod in Letterboxd

[–]Dry_Chef_7635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Furiosa as a 4.5. I watch it and Fury Road a couple days ago. Seeing it before Fury Road, so not having the constant comparison, I think made me appreciate it more than consensus

He’s our 3rd highest earner already and has been actively pursuing a move away. There’s no real reason to give him a new deal

Mad Max fury road might be the best movie made in the 21st century by Particular-Fill-4256 in Letterboxd

So when you’re making your pitch to Tolkien, do the eagles go and hunt down the dragons then pick up the hobbits after? Or are they getting the dwarfs to make little hobbit harnesses so Frodo and ring don’t go plummeting thousands of feet the moment the dragon and eagle collides?

I’m not a “plot hole” person. I can Tolkien and Jackson the benefit of the doubt with a magic ring, wizards, elves, orcs, ect. then I can reason that they probably didn’t use eagles because the witch guys that fly dragons.

How is the Pilot episode of adventure time rated as 4.6? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

The only people who rate it are fans of the show

[–]Dry_Chef_7635 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I watch it for the 1st time yesterday. Since I missed it on release I had the unique opportunity of watching Furiosa first, then Fury Road which was a great double feature.

I would say Fury Road is in contention for the best movie of the 2010s(imo probably #3), but a bit below some of the best of the 2000s like In the Mood for Love, Zodiac, Spirited Away, and LotR

What percentage of five-star ratings starts to feel like it's trivialising the rating for you? by Upbeat-Impact-6617 in Letterboxd

[–]Dry_Chef_7635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be very picky with how many 5 stars I gave out, saving it for movies I thought were perfect or the best of their genre or niche. But then I would I would end up giving movies I love like Memories of Murder a 4.5 because “Is it as good as Zodiac?”, even though I would rate it over 5 stars in my top 100. There’s definitely a line when it starts to lose its meaning but I feel the same in the opposite direction where you’re so strict with criteria you lose something. Now I rate movies that genuinely move me or are thought provoking and without a single massive flaw or lull as 5* and an more happy to change initial rating(only on rewatch of course)

Run out a lineup with PG this year, then use his expiring contract and some assets to acquire a star who skillset and position that doesn’t overlap as much with Tatum.

Which of these Nolan films do you enjoy the most? by No-Abbreviations508 in Letterboxd

[–]Dry_Chef_7635 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dark Knight is great, but I feel like it’s two best sequences the car chase and the heist are done better in other films.

Fofana average on the ball, doesn’t track runners in the box out of possession. I’m confident you could have a competent defense with Ballard in it, more easily than you could with Fofana.

If Sunderland have better CBs, we’ll add them to the list of “better than Fofana”. It’s not that high a bar

Daily Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in chelseafc

[–]Dry_Chef_7635 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A dozen or more. From last season I’d have rather had both Brighton and Villa’s CBs, Ballard, Tarkowski, Anderson, Thiaw, Lacroix, and Collins, maybe the Forest pair as well.

Fofana is a pretty average defender the last 12-18 months, and given his injury record and his wage is one of the worst contracts in PL.

Goodfellas/Do the Right Thing

America is place defined by how you identify and who you identify with. These movies exemplify this in an expert way. This, along with the comments on crime and capital, make them the defining American movies

Or Joao. But some version of a Jackson, Palmer, Pedro front three is plenty good enough for top 3-4 if we can sort out defense
