AI - Chat GPT

**Name:** Johnny Cardoso
**Age:** 22 years (born September 20, 2001)
**Nationality:** American-Brazilian
**Position:** Central midfielder, Defensive midfielder
**Current club:** Internacional (Brazil)

### Strengths:
1. **Physicality and Stamina:** Johnny is a robust midfielder with good physicality and stamina, allowing him to cover large areas of the pitch throughout a match. His physicality makes him capable of winning duels, both on the ground and in the air.

2. **Passing Ability:** One of his main strengths is his ability to distribute the ball. He has a good vision of the game and can deliver both short, precise passes and longer switches. This makes him an important playmaker in the defensive and central midfield.

3. **Defensive Qualities:** Cardoso is not afraid to engage in tackles and shows a good ability to disrupt the opposition's play. He is tactically disciplined and can position himself well to cover spaces and prevent attacks by reading the game.

4. **Technical Skill:** Despite being defensively oriented, he has solid technical ability, making him comfortable with the ball under pressure. His ability to maintain control and create space is a valuable asset to his team.

### Weaknesses:
1. **Explosiveness and Acceleration:** Johnny lacks that quick acceleration that some more offensive midfielders possess. This can sometimes make it difficult for him to cover during quick transitions or counterattacks.

2. **Offensive Contribution:** Although his passing game is strong, he does not contribute as much in the attacking third in terms of goals and assists. He is more focused on being a ball-winner and a link between defense and attack rather than a creative attacking force.

3. **Experience at the Highest Level:** He has shown great potential in the Brazilian league and has gained some international experience with the U.S. national team, but he still lacks the experience of playing in the top European leagues. This is something that can be developed with the right transfer and playing time.

### Potential:
Johnny Cardoso is a player with significant upside, especially for teams looking for a stable and disciplined midfielder with strong defensive skills and the ability to build play from the back. He could be a good option for clubs that aim to develop young talents into top-tier players, and who can provide him with the necessary playing time to adapt to a higher level of competition.

With the right training and experience, Johnny could become a key player for a top team in a European league. His ability to balance the team defensively and contribute to the buildup play makes him an interesting prospect in the market, especially for teams that value players with a good understanding of the tactical aspects of the game.
 
That does it for me.

Brazilian.

Do you wax yours?

I still haven't got the sour taste of yesterday out of my mouth...

It was SO fucking avoidable, yet so fucking predictable!

I'd say that's 8 points we've literally tossed away now...
Leicester (2) Newcastle and Brighton (6) you could even argue we were good for a point against the Arse... But that's not allowed!

...we were magnificent in parts of all those games, but then defended like amateurs in all 4 games.

The only games we got what we deserved were Everton and possibly Brentford... But we're squandering points against teams we SHOULD have beaten
..
The only way to redress that, is to pick up unlikely points against teams we'd be expected to lose against...
And I don't know where wins against Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea or Woolwich away are coming from!
 
Having had a chance to reflect on yesterday and perhaps calm down a little, how many on here, that have watched our beloved Spurs for a number of years were really surprised by that second half? Genuinely surprised? I wasn’t and that is what hurts the most

Flip the switch.
Alternate scenario...

On the back of 5 games without a win, WE go in at half-time, 0-2 down at home to Brighton (or any team for that matter) who have just won 5 on the spin...

We'd have gone in to a chorus of boos....

Do WE come out all guns blazing 2nd half, and turn it around for a 3-2 win... or surrender meekly, accept our fate, and it ends up 3 or 4-0..?

The mentality Brighton had to think it WASN'T over was admirable... Despite both teams' recent form...

I just don't think we have those type of guts about us...
Either for OR against!

Yesterday was as shocking as it was telling.
 
The full time whistle went as I was surrounded by all the Brighton fans waiting for the train, what shocked me was there wasn’t even any celebration from their fans. Weird atmosphere at the Amex. I guess a lot of Brighton fans support United, Goons etc as Brighton were in the lower leagues for years.
 
It is absolutely abysmal defending, we outnumber the attackers over 2 to 1, our players stand still, ball watch and if the ball goes a little beyond the attacker there is an unmarked opponent.
I don't see a great deal of improvement over Dier, Emerson, Sanchez and Davies as a possible back four to be honest. We are certainly not as a unit streets ahead are we?

Two up away from home to a good side and we implode in less than forty five minutes.

How many unanswered goals do we need to score to be sure of a win, three, four?

Never sustainable, never going to happen.

Lot's of fans glowing after beating a piss poor United side, and two pub teams from the outskirts of Europe.

We are in the Europa League for one reason, we are not good enough to play at the top table of football.

Ange was out witted by a manager half his age, tactically more aware and with a change of plan. I mean you don't bring on Sarr and Bissouma to help win a game of football. Those pair come on to shore up a two goal lead.
 
People act like we have never had a bad 45 minutes before. It's not even the worst 45 minutes under Ange ... 3-0 down at half time at home to Woolwich will take some beating. We need the proper response now.
