You’re going to have to convince me Eugene the engineer is as impactful as Shohei Otani.

Yeah not sure I buy that.

When you asked if he was an effective leader, this thread is why I voted no. If you are running a company and you have to overpay people massively to keep up, that’s not a good firm or culture. Unless you can convince me the one person paid $100M had knowledge no other person in the world did...

Bought one. Always happy to support you @Joe Bryant

Which is likely true with CP and Musah. CP will start obviously but if I was him Musah would be out of the starting lineup and I think it’s the right call. Musah isn’t good enough to act like CP.

I like it. If you get a good coach he should be deciding how the makeup of his team is. Look that message is likely not them specifically but overall telling players it’s not a done deal. I agree that is going to get better effort from the players than just coasting because they think they...

That’s pretty crazy.

Just absurd.

This is a college football thread. Are we seriously running a black-sholes analysis on the mean difference of SAT and GPA scores? When the ball is kicked off nobody cares. Let’s get it together everyone.

I don’t know what he sees in arfston but clearly is not recognizing him being such a liability. Would think Tolkien would be more solid there but what do I know

At especially looked like he was really laboring out there for at least 10 minutes before he got subbed off like he could barely run.

curious why you think he didn’t and/or waited so long? This was my criticism of GGG as well, almost waiting until something bad happened late to sub versus being proactive. Instinctually it feels so wrong.

Ok so many of you are much more knowledgeable about soccer than me, I for the life of me don’t understand the timing of Poch’s substitutions and who they are for. I also thought GGG was way too late. Personally with a 2-0 lead at half I would have subbed out Arfston for Tolkien but what do I know.

I agree, personally have been surprised how little he has stood out but also thinks he does so much of the little things on defense that maybe I am just missing his contribution? I do think if Adams wasn’t subbed out they may not have conceded the goal.

Honestly that’s what I was thinking a bit. Swag has legitimately been my favorite player on the team but he is in more of a precarious position than we may think.
