It's strange, probably because Brazil, at the moment only have shit strikers.
It’s not about the quality of the opponent!Fella, we wern't playing Dunfermline or Queen of the fuckin south....
Son in 75 minutes (well more like 86' if we're couting the extra time) had 2 crosses (0 accurate), and 2 dribble attempts (1 successful). 0.05 expected assists.
Perisic in 15 minutes had 3 crosses (1 accurate), and 3 dribble attempts (3 successful). 0.16 expected assists.
It's clear who deserves to start, it's clear who deserved to start since pre-season, but we know who will start next match, same as last season.

As opposed to Andora, San Marino, and Albania in England’s group? Fuck, what heavyweights!
Gone with Richarlison as my easy main & Dier as my dressing room disrupter.
Left field Ryan Mason for being a Conte spy and Buffon for hyping Vicario.
I will now dedicate the next 10 months to this rhetoric.
Porro would have done worse than Emerson. Poor lad has no clue what to do on defense.
Yes they play against some crap teams in Europe but on the same note European national teams play better opponents more regularly with Nationals League, Euros, etc.
I would argue that European national teams get way many more competitive games than teams in South America per year. I think that is not even debatable imo.
Other than Argentina, Brazil really don’t play anyone of note (Uruguay are crap recently).
Woopsy
So if we drew at City away he'd be angry would he??....
Ok. The xG if you take away the penalty was pretty much identical, in fact they edge it. They created the best open play chance of the game (a missed open goal!!!) and had several other half-chances, same as us.
We dominated possession because that's how we play. And yes, Emerson's goal is a worldie. He doesn't score from 0.03 xG on a regular basis.
The penalty is soft but pretty much by the rules these days, the ankle is caught and that makes it a penalty.
It was a close game, we weren't a "Lot better" by any stretch, this is emotion/tribalism clouding reality completely.
It was a draw son.
Bet you're absolutely seething your prediction didn't come true son
I didn't see Sanchez as Good. I saw him as better than usual but still way off being Good. He unfortunately just doesn't have the ability to read a game.
Ange Postecoglou on substituting Cristian Romero
"I thought it was quite evident, he hurt his head. We're in an era where we know about these things so I'm not a doctor and anytime that happens I think it's really important that we protect the players.
"They don't know themselves what's going on and I had medical advice.
The disappointing thing for me was that we filled in the wrong from for a concussion substitute so in this day and age when we are talking about player care, a piece of paper is not important. No hesitation in taking him off, obviously the player wants to continue but he's not the one who makes that decision."
Likely story...wrong form means Romero doesn't get benched for 7 days...

Yup, good to see him have a solid debut. Unlucky on their second goal. Reminded me very much of Vertonghen in his playing style so hopefully he will settle in well
Would of been easier of course if we had signed him for pre-season, but its the same shit with Levy every year, so nothing new
Richy was woeful
His first touch and shooting were awful today.
He had two chances today that should have been buried, the first shot was hit straight at a Brentford player and the second shot also hit a Brentford player as well .....but thank God it did as it was headed for the corner flag.
If we don't get another striker in this season, were going to have an awfully hard time scoring.
