Yeah, would like to keep an eye on Marsch's progress but not enough time to be watching the Austrian league. Will use European games to follow. Good to hear you like him though.
Seems to have some quality too but will wait for better comp to judge.
My impression of him is that he is a terrible footballer. Absolutely terrible.
Was that from your Salzburg viewing or this game? I only saw the last 10 minutes or so. Are you sure he's 'terrible'? Or is this one of your Soumare calls? Either way Supamecano's a donkey.
Gotcha. Couldn't answer that until I see more of him. But in my experience Nagelsmann prefers a more facilitative striker rather than a pace merchant because possession is more a part of his tactics than Rangnick and BuLi/early PL Klopp. The last two forced the transition but Nagelsmann's teams are coached to take what's given though it may seem they are quite vertical that's just what's available.
OK but that can be coached shitnuts. I'm only concerned with technical ability and athleticism at the prospect level. And beyond that I'm always skeptical of the 'decision-making' critique because A) we don't what they saw B) we don't know the tactical directions C) we don't know that the decision the critiquing person desired was the right decision. So suck it 5.
Because he's your boy. At this point in time if Messi was your boy he'd be a donkey. fu5
Technical ability was also disappointing. Constantly losing the ball. Blistering pace and worked like a demon, however.
That effort makes other players better.
And now you've stepped into it. You need the technical ability in order to implement the decision making. We've been here before my friend. Dele is a lost cause. And as I said earlier I'm only interested in technical ability and athleticism (two things we have so very little of) at the up and comer stage. The other stuff is just conceit of the evaluator.
Given you hate Timo Werner, I don't think this guy will swell your pecker. But go right ahead, my friend.
You'd know all about conceit, mon cher.
Are you giving my pecker permission to swell?
Look at you getting all defensive and going on the attack. Nice. My point is true and I supported it with 3 bits of justification. So suck a bag of dicks.
They play in a half hour...
I am taking notes.
Says his head's not right, so I don't know if there is any point.
Yeah, I always bristle at the 'decision-making' critique ie why a player made 1 pass instead of the other. Part of it is they favored making a certain pass rather than another one. Part of it is they may have felt they'd get the defense off balance by going a certain more unpredictable way. I, nor anyone else, can know these things and some assholes like to look like they do by saying "bad decision" when things don't work out. But that's results based and facile. I see it all the time (not talking about you...but don't get caught up in this bullshit). You know, somehting negative's already happened so I say "bad-decision" so it looks like I know what I'm talking about. Nah, not for me.
I can do better than that.
Going forward, how should I bash a player that waits too long to release the ball?
After that shit you just sent me I can imagine his head isn't right. What do they expect? And I'm not gonna say anything about ASSE fans since I imagine Lyon's are just as bad. But it seems like he's catching hell.
I won't be. Frees me up to catch a twilight 9 holes.
