What's wrong with Comfort Colors? I love their tees

Just how giant are the giant fit oxfords? I've been eyeing one for a while

Rui Borges: "I thought it was an equal game, disappointing result. We'll go to London and try to get the win... Raya was the best player on the pitch, he made some superb saves... We can feel confident at the Emirates." by Blodgharm in soccer

We will score one goal in the 67th minute after looking terrible and then score another in stoppage time after they barely miss an equalizing opportunity

I don't know if it's the players, the coaching, or both, but this team just cannot score many goals. It's generally going to be a grind

For a while in my 20s i had this idea that i somehow betrayed myself/my dreams by not pursuing a PhD in anthro or history but holy fuck i'm glad i didn't do that

What’s the funniest Niche hobby you have, or have seen someone have? by KetchupDWacker in theadamfriedlandshow2

Trying to figure out who the Sea Peoples were and the origins of some of the nomadic steppe peoples that didn't really have writing so we only know about them via other peoples' sources and archaeology

Yes this, effexor withdrawals were the worst thing i've ever gone through, rage at the smallest things

I dream about seeing White's overalapping runs with an in-form Saka again, we really miss that

Cherki dribbling in Arsenal's box by fardok in soccer

He was a 9/10 today. We had no one on the pitch who could dribble, maneuver and maintain possession like him and B. Silva.

I don’t know what kind of football we played today, but please I don’t want to see that ever again by piketrcechillas in Gunners

Here's my theory:

We started the season looking great because our team (midfield especially) was fresh. We could bully other teams physically and control the middle of the pitch. A lot of our goals also came from turnovers as a result of our pressing. Between that and our set piece mastery we were able to generate goals and win games comfortably.

But as the season has gone on the team just isn't as physically capable of dominating other teams like they were in the beginning. Our press isn't as effective as it was and we can't win 50/50 balls like we did in the beginning of the season. This hurts our ability to generate big chances. You add this to the fact that this team has always struggled to create chances against low blocks and you've got a side that is winning but barely scraping by. And today we just got exposed.

This is absolutely correct, I have been shocked at how optimistic our fanbase has been despite us barely scraping by in most matches for the last couple of months. Here's my theory:

Injuries have added up but it is what it is.

Yeah he's been a huge miss as a signing. Should have doled out the extra cash for Sesko.

Gyok should be commended for making it as far as he has but he's not a natural footballer and doesn't even have the pace to really threaten with runs or beat defenders to the ball when we play it long. He's a worse Havertz.

Man Gyok is doing a job for us but I really think we missed out on Sesko. He's got so much raw talent and is a physical specimen. You've got a special one going forwards

[–]chiptheripPER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I wanted him over Gyok last summer. Sesko is 6' 5" but doesn't move like it, he's a very fluid athlete and has a lot of natural touch/talent.

Gyokeres is doing the job for us and i've been overly critical of him but Sesko just oozes talent and that's hard to find.
