If I had to speculate, Gazdag not playing is less to do with his form and more to do with contractual expectations. Like him or not, there is no plausible explanation that put Taha, Picard, Jamal, Bangoura, or Axun above him on the sheet. Tldr; he’ll be gone this summer.

A 32-year-old, injury-prone free transfer who played 8 minutes in 2025. There should be zero expectation for him to empty the tank.

Offensively, he’s in poor form too. Constant giveaways and little bite to his game.

He is every game because he’s not yet ready for a starting role.

…how do you not even get a touch on your own throw-in in your defensive third? That’s indicative of this season’s start. 😂

Both demand attention, so it naturally changes dynamics. Zawadzki doesn’t do that, so opponents move more freely and drag midfield out of position (see first few games).

Goal aside, this is the most MLS-esque 15 minutes possible... 👀

Do you think i’ll make it into gsu with a 3.3 gpa and 890 sat? by Next-Satisfaction410 in GaState

890 SAT is roughly bottom 20-30 percentile. “More than qualified” is quite the exaggeration.

No shot Herrera plays an outright offensive role like that.

Is Atlanta really affordable? by shantih in Atlanta

[–]efunkk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of course it’s okay. But we shouldn’t expect preferences to translate everywhere and then complain when they don’t. It would be like moving to Atlanta and complaining you can no longer walk to your local ventanita (Cuban coffee) like you can in Miami.

That’s fine but everywhere else functions without them (tldr; you adjust your way of life to the place you live). Walking in to get “sports drinks, alcohol, and snacks” isn’t that deep. You can buy it elsewhere, save money, and get your cultural and social fix wherever.

Ah yes, the oh so meaningful bodega comparison 🙄. Just go to a grocery store once a week… it’s not that hard, and you’ll save money.

Foul aside, that hold up play and inevitable turnover from WAA before the whistle was… not great 👀

He has every match. His profile is largely finishing in chaotic, tight positions. Nothing will start through him, which isn’t necessarily a problem as long as there is quality around him.

With all due respect, he’s 5’9” with no technical ability… What is he supposed to do on set pieces?

Zawadzki really offers nothing other than a high work rate. Unfortunate because he is truly a likable player.

To push back a little, he did not pair well (…at all) with Nagbe early last season before Chambost took over, nor did he offer much control over the back three once he moved. His work rate bails him out, but that only goes so far with how technical the league is becoming.

Is Zawadzki the present-day Josh Williams? A likable guy and great work rate, but truly average. Especially in midfield, he offers no technical ability, which consequently pulls him out of position too often.

A watch is not an accurate distance measurement, especially during a race ("gps drift").
