That's right. I can't stand how they play. And they have several players who get on my nerves.
The 'all foam, no beer' Traore?

No, actually. Neves, in particular. Jiminez, too.The 'all foam, no beer' Traore?
No, actually. Neves, in particular. Jiminez, too.
Neves might be overrated, but once in a while he hits a screamer and everyone forgets.
On the other hand Jimenez is the only real quality they have. A season ago him and Jota really connected and played well on the break. Jota hasn't hit the same level for quite some time now
I think Jiminez is a massive pussy. And a very limited footballer.Neves might be overrated, but once in a while he hits a screamer and everyone forgets.

I've always thought Jota was a bit sketchy myself.

I haven't looked at him very closely, but he seems to have very good feet.Yeah, I do like him when he's on song, but haven't been enough of that lately
He is so physically weak, and he gives the ball away so much. I think Traore is worth a gamble for a bigger club.In his defence, he's gotta do a lot on his own. I think rheir style of play make them all look a bit wank. Kinda like our team

Coty and Liverpool are both said to be interested in him.I don't think Traore's technique will ever be good enough for a top side. He's better of at a counter attacking side lide Wolves where there is space to run into

Have you seen much of Patson Daka?
I admire their operation, too. They are picking up some fabulous African players.A lot of people hate Red Bull, but I like how they are approaching things. Recruitment, development and intensive playing style are exactly the traits I’d like at our club.
I see.Unfortunately for Salzburg they aren’t matched in the league, and I think that’s a problem for their European campaign.
I have been looking at Daka this week in their game against Napoli at home, and both of their games against Frankfurt. I think there is something in him. Frightening pace and great defensive workrate. Is capable of passing to a colleague, but I haven't seen any signs of vision or dribbling ability yet, and the ball bounces off him at times. Intend to keep tabs on him.Daka has been in great scoring form this season. Haaland leaving in jan has made him the main guy, and with Hwang doing his best Firmino impression it’s primarily up to Daka to run at goal. Inconsistency is the problem with Daka atm. He’s also a decent dribbler, but at times he’s too sloppy. A little more concentration and he’ll turn out a fine player.
Szoboslai has not caught my eye, but Mwepu has, to an extent. He does some very nice things in possession, but serves up a few too many sloppy passes, perhaps. From a defensive POV, I think he is perhaps lacking a bit of bite/athleticism. I see him as an 8. Camara impressed the hell out of me at home to Frankfurt, but his engine blew up in the second half.The one I like the most is Dominik Szoboszlai, but again, we don’t need more CMs. Then there’s Enock Mwepu who I’m trying to get an impression of as a DM. Unfortunately he’s too versatile, so I’m always catching Salzburg when he’s playing RW. Last week he was even a part of a back 3. He might be a little light weight for the Prem. Right here and now I’d take their Head Coach, Jesse Marsch.

I think Hwang is a bumble machine. But at least he has great athleticism.

Marsch is one to watch, I agree.
I was wrong about Mwepu and athleticism. Having another look here, and I have to say that he is a complete central midfielder. Could he do the job as a 6? Don't know yet, but it's possible.That’s right. Daka is a hard worker.
I tend to forget Szoboslai is only 19 cos he’s already been playing a fair amount of games. Maybe a new Bruno Fernandes in the making. Of course being a part of the RB setup he’s working harder without the ball than a Fernandes.
I don’t think athleticism is Mwepu’s problem. I just wanna see him get stuck in challenges and use a bit of muscle.
Still early days for Camara, but also an interesting player.
We just need to stop the BS and get Sangare out of Toulouse
Ok. Went through the first half of Salzburg v Napoli again. He was playing as a 6. The guy can definitely do it. And he is fucking hard, IMO. Can pass off either foot, bags of press resistance, lots of progressive passes, presses aggressively, great in the air, good defensive instincts. Wow.Then there’s Enock Mwepu who I’m trying to get an impression of as a DM. Unfortunately he’s too versatile, so I’m always catching Salzburg when he’s playing RW.
