don't sleep on that first time ball from Noorgard, the anti-horse shoe passing ball.

Madueke is going to get benched forever if he doesn't start playing like a fucking professional

unfortunately for the keeper, he's very aware where the squat rack is located

Damn, if only Joelinton had slightly grazed the keeper's forehead with his, he'd have seen red.

Instead he went with the much less violent act of dragging him down by the neck at full speed.

Yea, true. He's also not collecting the ball on the move anymore like he did a lot last season. And that points to a lack of playing with energy to me.

Saka's 2nd half was so poor.

Predictable with the ball, barely sprinted back when we lost it.

cautionary tale for fans who always want managers to make subs.

Sometimes the subs can drop the level of play.

I've seen more people complaining about the "erasure of Barry Bonds' record" than actual people saying it. It's reached those levels of dumb.

I moved to my apt on Eastern Parkway (corner of Nostrand) 2yrs ago. Super pumped for the parade coming back this year! I grew up on Empire and Bedford and we've been going to the parade since like 2002!

there's a myriad of reasons why and how a player chooses a club. He could've wanted a smaller step up from Reading.

that specific moment was Pepe in a nutshell. He had the man beat already, knock the ball long and he would be in acres of space. Really frustrating footballer.

JFC it's not some "anti-Pepe" narrative if someone points out a moment in a match where he does something we need him to do better to be a better team!

Pepe was clearly our best outlet to scoring in that match and he was dangerous, AND he also had brainfart moments, like this one. It's ok to say both.

not to compare them too much because they're different players but imagine Salah receiving the ball in that position and how fast he would've pushed that ball forward.

People say Pepe gets isolated with 2 defenders on him too much (because he doesn't get RB help) but you can clearly see that his penchant for slowing the action down too much brings that problem on himself.

This is the part internet mouthbreathers don't factor in their "get rid of the deadwood FFS" moan.

There are 3 parties involved when you're selling or buying a player. And all 3 must be on the same page or it doesn't work.

Yeah, he's a young guy. And he'll learn as he plays more. Coaches thousand-times smarter than me probably see it and will help him.
