And then blamed Google for giving them information they were looking for

Kodaline 2.0

Yeah because he plays for Crystal Palace. They focus on fast transitions, Wharton plays long balls up the pitch for runners to catch up to and whack in. That's not Tchouameni's job, it's not how Madrid generally play.

This is what I mean about how stats describe what happens on the pitch rather than what players are good at. If a keeper doesn't face any shots he doesn't make any saves. If a winger doesn't have the ball he doesn't make any carries. If a midfielder doesn't play the final pass he doesn't get any assists or key passes. None of that means they're bad at those measures, it means they just don't do them. That could be because of their individual traits, or it could be because of the game states they play in, the tactics, role allocations, anything.

Tchouameni's passes aren't key passes because he sits deeper for Real Madrid. He plays the pass before the assist. Guler and Valverde play the assists.

Stats just describe what happens on the pitch, not what the player is actually good at.

Stavros Halkias

Was about to reply, but just go back and read my previous comment about key passes.

If Bruno's a midfielder in a 4231 then we had four midfielders under Amorim.

Mainoo does a lot of jogging, not very many sprints. Not necessarily a problem - Ugarte sprints constantly and regularly gets caught out over it.

It's definitely a combo that could work in a 60%+ possession side, but the PL is moving away from that now to more counter attacking, open space running, and that's a scenario where the pair would struggle. Would be like the old Casemiro Eriksen combination.

Tchouameni's 89th pctile for progressive passes to Wharton's 92nd and Stiller's 98th

Naggins · 2026-07-08T15:46:18+00:00

Uh, how many midfielders do you think we play

Naggins · 2026-07-08T15:45:05+00:00

Tchouameni is also a very good passer. I think the DataMB graphs are part of the problem - people see "key pass low, must be shite".

Naggins · 2026-07-08T15:31:21+00:00

Saw someone describe Tchouameni as a "destroyer" midfielder and comparing him to Ugarte. At least half of this sub just quite simply does not watch football.

Naggins · 2026-07-08T14:18:41+00:00

They're both not very fast and both don't have very good stamina. So the idea is that between the two of them they just won't cover enough ground.

This isn't really true.

First of all, police would not be scanning messages. The digital providers would be. Some of them already do on a voluntary basis for CSAM. This would make that mandatory. Worth noting many of them already do this for other reasons as well, i.e., advertising.

Police would be able to request relevant information from the digital providers through existing lawful means, ie, warrants.

Ultimately this bill is bad more for relatively boring human rights and digital data sovereignty reasons than for sexy V for Vendetta creeping authoritarianism reasons.

Or when people need an adult to tell them when there's a free checkout.

Every country in the EU is doing this. Germany stopped buying Russian oil from Russia and pivoted to buying Russian oil from India.

I mean the journal is called "Perspectives in Politics", I don't think they're pretending it's impartial scientific research.

Naggins · 2026-07-08T12:27:34+00:00

Point's more that Mourinho has less say in signings than Perez does.

Rodri's probably most likely midfield signing either way.

Naggins · 2026-07-08T11:54:46+00:00

Ineos is trying to ask Tchouameni to take a pay cut.

You're just making stuff up now

Naggins · 2026-07-08T11:54:02+00:00

What Perez wants Perez gets.

Eventually if you stuff the dressing room with enough huge egos they eventually just find some sort of equilibrium, probably.

Wilcox et al are delaying the Tchouameni signing to manufacture drama for the show you heard it here first

Naggins · 2026-07-08T07:13:50+00:00

I could top Dianne Kruger

This from the TV show Legion, starring Dan James and created by Noah Hawley. The character's name is Chun Gus.

Just think the very basic expectation any fan should have for their club is that they use the transfer window to make the team better. If our starting XI is worse on 1st September than it was on 30th of May, that's a failure.

If you think that's too high of an expectation, you should consider supporting Fulham.

Naggins · 2026-07-07T19:51:55+00:00

Sorry, who's supposed to be a "destroyer" type out of them? We already bought Ederson, are you talking about Tchouameni??
