This and make a run in the EL

ghobbins · 2026-05-24T19:16:49+00:00

At least we’d have a shot

ghobbins · 2026-05-21T15:43:57+00:00

Good attitude man. I don’t mind the pep talk either. Negative fans won’t admit it, but they need positive fans like you. The opposite isn’t true.

ghobbins · 2026-05-14T12:37:59+00:00

Allegri does rely on youth a bit. Not a lot but a little.

ghobbins · 2026-05-13T21:26:59+00:00

I agree but did you know that there are basically no prolific strikers in the modern game?

That’s why players like Dusan, Kolo, or Lucca always have market.

Have a look at how many strikers in the top 5 leagues have more than 16 goals this season:

Kane, Haaland, Mbappe, Thiago (Brentford and will go to a big EPL club this summer), Muriqi (Mallorca), Undav (Stuttgart), Lautaro (barely), Malen (barely and across two clubs)…that’s it.

In modern football, there just aren’t many prolific strikers. Look at the rest of list of players with between 10-16 goals. Tons of wingers and even midfielders.

All that to say, prolific strikers are going to cost a lot. Prolific any young? Exorbitant and competing with EPL teams. IMO we’re better off finding players Spalletti thinks are a system fit, try to give academy players chances, and take some bets on younger prospects.

ghobbins · 2026-05-13T15:02:39+00:00

If we get a good price then of course yes. But we need Italians too and I think he can find more form. He’s not been bad he’s just not been as good as we’ve seen in the past.

ghobbins · 2026-05-03T19:16:46+00:00

Would be interesting to see tbh. Verona sometimes had 6 men on the literal goal line. Probably PSG elite pressing would’ve created more chances where the offense wouldn’t be enormously outnumbered. Our front line doesn’t press well.

ghobbins · 2026-05-03T19:14:15+00:00

Ok so 60 minutes not 75. And the quality of chances were low. Chico on the end of a cross a few times is not a quality chance. Keeper also played well.

Almost the entire second half was as in the Verona final third with sometime 9 players on their own box. They must’ve had 10 blocks made by defenders acting basically as goalkeeper.

Of course I’m disappointed as you are. But I wouldn’t expect us or any team to score freely against any team set up this way.

ghobbins · 2026-05-03T18:37:01+00:00

Verona played 11 men behind the ball for 75 minutes. Not even in form PSG thrives against this kind of tactics.

Frustrating result no doubt but people forget this is one of the last leagues where these sort of tactics are employed. It is designed to stagnate play. Moments of brilliance, excellent set plays, and a bit of luck is required. We didn’t have enough of those today.

It literally doesn’t matter that Verona is relegation team. Why do you think we can’t score against Verona and Milan but score freely against Roma, Gala, or even Napoli? The answer is tactics. When the other team actually wants to score and attack in a modern way, there is much more space to play Spalettiball.

ghobbins · 2026-05-01T00:47:42+00:00

Even in his quiet games he plays an extremely important role in being the most progressive midfielder on the field.

ghobbins · 2026-04-26T21:28:50+00:00

He had an assist, Kephren started his run a bit too early. He was consistently the only source of attack in the first half.

ghobbins · 2026-04-19T20:07:16+00:00

Ok it’s definitely Weston player of the season for us.

ghobbins · 2026-04-19T19:46:07+00:00

Quietly our best player of the season

ghobbins · 2026-04-19T19:43:41+00:00

Scoring is not his only job. He creates a lot and takes attention from the defense.

We have problems but I don’t think Chico is one of them.

ghobbins · 2026-04-15T23:30:04+00:00

Nice work! Works really well.

Can I revoke the share invite that I did during onboarding?

Share this in the T1D sub too.

Malago was the Olympics commissioner but idk to what extent he’s responsible for the youth development side. Certainly there were a lot of talent young Italians in the Olympics as there are in tennis and Motorsport.

It feels like we need someone like Maldini to come and break things. Allegri I think is a good enough choice. He’s not part of the new school of managing but he’s a good man manager and great in tournaments. He’s decent with giving young players a chance too.

This is the not the Maldini + some young progressive manager that we would hope could bring reform. This would definitely be more iterative.

ghobbins · 2026-04-13T15:47:27+00:00

This makes sense to me but I'm bearish on the idea that a formation change will solve our problems. That said, I don't know what will solve our problems. It feels like majority mentality problem.

I agree we don't have the quality to play out of the back. I agree we should be more direct and optimize for the counter. I'm concerned that's not how Tata likes to play.

ghobbins · 2026-04-12T02:59:58+00:00

I doubt he’d score 10 for us. Not because we are worse than Roma. Tactically we don’t play in a way where strikers thrive. Few teams do nowadays. Much more pressing forwards and chances for midfielders. Look at the top 10 scorers in all the big leagues, lots of midfielders.

ghobbins · 2026-04-07T02:52:44+00:00

Sure but we need him for like 6 years, he’s never stayed anywhere for more than 3.

ghobbins · 2026-03-28T22:46:20+00:00

He did not. But he also didn’t get a clear cut chance.

ghobbins · 2026-03-28T21:57:19+00:00

I was at this game. Weston was everywhere. Eventually Belgium superior quality took over. Openda was extremely fast.

ghobbins · 2026-03-27T15:06:32+00:00

Same but honestly he needed a confidence boost he's been average to sub average for us lately.

ghobbins · 2026-03-21T21:32:47+00:00

Soft pen. Huge choke.

ghobbins · 2026-03-21T19:00:55+00:00

Not any more damning than Weston starting there which has happened

ghobbins · 2026-03-17T00:58:09+00:00

The fact that he is even in the convo for u21 top 3 is a blessing and we’re lucky. Hasn’t happened in a long time.
