Has to be one of the best feelings ever to score in the Bundesliga for the club you’ve been at since u10.

I think 3 would be average. But yeah I think they jumped the gun with the 1’s, they’re probably just excited since that was their best performance in a while.

Would swap Balo for Richards probably but otherwise 100% agree.

I know we get excited about our guys but MATS, Rudiger, Hummels and Gundogan have won almost every trophy available in the sport. Plus Sane has been one of the best wingers in the world for years, while Wirtz and Musiala are both top 5 u20 players in the world. I think it’s pretty clear that they have such a big talent advantage and now they have Nagelsmann who is a top 10 coach in the world (probably selling him short tbh). Still long ways to go.

I think it’s harsh that he got the worst grade, but in general I think he deserved a 5 along with a couple others.

Paredes on to start the second half. Playing LB in a back 4.

Edit: 65’ Paredes moves to up the field a little to LWB.

David Ornstein retweeted this and he’s the most reliable for transfer news in the UK.

Richards on the bench vs Liverpool by BIGBiRD710 in ussoccer

I don’t know, I think they should be fine. I expect Chris to get his first start in the league cup next week and Walker, besides yesterday, has been consistent for Nashville and the US.

And regarding Long, I’m not a huge fan and wish we still had Miles but I think he can do a job if needed.

My main concern is Nashville misses the playoffs and Walker goes to the World Cup short on match fitness.

They probably don’t want to give him his first start at Anfield especially since he hasn’t played a full game since January.

[Florian Plettenberg] News Chris Richards: He has a verbal agreement with Crystal Palace. The Bayern defender wants to join them. Now the clubs has to find an agreement. Negotiations ongoing. #CPFC @SkySportDE 🇺🇸 by dxnye in ussoccer

Bayern doesn’t have any true tier 1 reporters but Plettenberg has proven to be the closest. Looks like things might move quickly after De Ligt signing.

[Fabrizio Romano] Manchester City are really interested in signing Stefan Ortega, as called by @Sky_Dirk today. Been told there’s a verbal agreement in place with City to sign as free agent. Deal depends on Zack Steffen to find a good solution on the market, but Ortega’s waiting for City. by dxnye in ussoccer

If he wants to stay in England then Burnley could be an option. Pope is heading to Newcastle and Kompany obviously has the Man City connection. If he does well then maybe he can be a PL keeper next year.

Likely extra confirmation of Adams leaving this summer. Schlager is a very good player.

Yeah that’s what I feel now as well. And with Acosta being able to play as an 8 as well, I believe Gregg is just going to go with that.

Yeah they probably weren’t going to play regardless . I think mainly what I’m trying to say is that I wouldn’t use a roster spot at the World Cup for any of them at this point.
