but honestly... I don't want him starting even further from the goal. Swag and Musah are genuinely good at doing this- LDLT and Busio maybe as well. (one with the dribble, other with the longer ball). Id' rather try him as a 9 than move back to an 8. or do a new formation with him as a 10 or false 9, to keep him central. He doesn't have the strength on the ball that Musah has. He'll get muscled off or hacked down far too much. I agree with the 9. Hell I'd rather see them go with a CP-Pepi pairing up top before dropping him deeper. A 4-1-3-2 would be fun. Dest-Zimm-Miles-Jedi Adams Aaronson Gio Snacks Pepi-CP

So you're not shooting blanks any more?

Meh. Pretty short if you ask me.

That’s totally lopsided. I wouldn’t do it.

I think this all boils down to just how young the team is.

I really struggled with Musa or Snacks. I thought Musa was close to MOTM last night, but I think Snacks' creative ability puts him a smidge ahead of Musa; warts and all. Wish Snacks would be more consistent with his touch/passing. That angled ball to Dest(?) was :chefskiss:

One thing that jumped out at me last night was his first touch. He's so much cleaner than everyone else when under pressure. I really want to see them ditch this 4-3-3 when at full strength to get everyone on the field. A 4-2-3-1 would be a good way to accomplish that.

Dest kept everyone onside

It's bordering on unreadable lately. I get the frustration from Panama, but holy christ guys. Each page just drips with overly dramatic negativity. Hey @AAABatteries [spoiler]I hate that you're being the voice of reason lately. EAD[/spoiler]

I know what you're getting at and agree they need to do it more regularly, but the first goal last night doesn't count? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny_89ypU5OY Also note Nips' run, dragging Lawrence allowing Musa to drive deep.

Willing to bet Pefok burries that ball from Weah.

You absolutely were watching something else if your takeaways are these goofy comments about Nips my kid wins. US wins. Floppo arguing with himself. My day is now complete.

Yo…

Unpossible. Dude doesn’t get tired.

Only Made possible by Nips run that dragged the defender with him.
