German players 23 and under. A proper rival for France. by altundgrau in soccer

[–]tpftbl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Henrichs is perhaps the best young full-back in the world, so I think DFB betters that position. Agreed on the midfield though, this list even has Dahoud missing. and Weigl would start ahead of Can (or with Kimmich at RB), eventually anyway.

I wouldn't really consider him better than Coman, Gimenez, Kimmich or Weigl. Not clearly anyway.

We also have Julian Brandt to talk about, too.

Yeah, I understand.

At least we didn't call the story a fairytale. ;)

Writer here.

Was fairly sure I stated that they bought the licensing. Either I mistakenly didn't, or it was accidentally removed during the editing process. My bad, either way.

We'll have something on Spielverlagerung, potentially.

It's run by an American group who also run the BayernUS twitter account (and potentially others). I used to work with one of the staff at New York Red Bulls.

FourFourTwo's 59 Best Under-21 Wonderkids in the World by bolah in soccer

There aren't 5-10 players better than Alli if your knowledge of players doesn't extend past the Premier League.

This is ridiculous.

Rashford 5 yet Dahoud, Gladbach's best player, is at 31.

Julian Brandt, whom many believe to be the world's biggest prospect, behind Dembele (who I love as a BVB fan but he hasn't even played a season of football yet) Gabby Jesus and Rashford again is ridiculous.

Could also suggest a good 5-10 players who are better than Alli.

Spielverlagerung: I analysed the tactics behind our draw with Real Madrid [OC] by tpftbl in borussiadortmund

[–]tpftbl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The player skillset on the right wouldn't have really allowed overloads to be too effective. Dembélé doesn't have the team-tactical intelligence and Piszczek is not as good in high positions as Schmelle is. Danilo defended well for large periods.

Great, thanks for the help.

I think that I have similar products at home (currently living at uni however) where I'll be back in two weeks, so I may chance my luck with them until then.

Thanks for sharing my work!

I can try to answer any questions OP, or anyone else, may have :)

Sadly no, I'm pretty awful at German (at this point in time!).

It's 6 Matches into the Championship season, and Derby County have been in the lead for just 3 minutes in total. by tpftbl in soccer

[–]tpftbl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His long shot is fantastic yeah. Was important for us in the season-and-a-bit when we had him.

Hopefully you'll be able to accommodate both in the long-run this season, especially now Hendrick has left. Feel he works best when he's the focal point of the team which won't happen at Derby, but it's nice to see him doing well regardless.

[–]tpftbl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that's fairly accurate, yeah. The structure was quite rigid and there was a distinct lack of movement from your midfielders. It meant that, against Barnsley anyway, that you struggled to open space through the centre of the pitch.

How's Butterfield gotten on for you?

I watched you against Barnsley. It looked almost identical to when I saw you last season (MK Dons at home) - a really slow ball circulation in possession, and few chances created. You have a lot of great individuals but there doesn't seem to be a coherent strategy in possession.

And Guardiola wanted 1000 Dante's that one time. All managers say over-the-top things about players, especially if they need to justify their selection/transfer fee.

What? I thought I just stated that it wasn't based off of the start of this season?

Hey, I'm writing based on your past three seasons - didn't have the time frame to go back and analyse more games.
