Usually that means “Wow, Welbeck is still playing?”Wow Welbeck
He did a great job defensively from what I saw, but ball progression seemed very planned to avoid him pointedly and a lot of the times he did get on the ball you could see why. If he needs to do this more for CP it'll be nice for a versatility club to have in his bag because weird things happen in tournaments, but I don't think he can play possession midfield enough for how Berhalter wants to play versus Hodgeson's CP.Tried to focus on our kid Chris Richards at the DM vs City & Brighton. Thats a good test - two teams that really pull defense out of shape & require a lot of tactical awareness to manage.
Richards did ok against both if we’re grading on the curve for a transitioning CB. You can still see him thinking, not flowing. But his stature (6’3”) and willingness to get stuck in 1v1 makes him a real presence.
If Roy keeps Richards at the DM & Richards get more fluid in the position…that would be really valuable for the USMNT depth chart.
I didn’t even clock his ball progression, there wasn’t much of note. But he did have one great first half fun where he marauded up to the 6 yard box and was in great position for a cross…but the ball came in low near post and was cleared. That was Richards’ moment!He did a great job defensively from what I saw, but ball progression seemed very planned to avoid him pointedly and a lot of the times he did get on the ball you could see why.

I think it's five in a row. I'm going to put money on a one all draw for the reverse fixtureSix of the last nine El Gatwickos have finished 1-1.
That was extremely fun, yeah.I didn’t even clock his ball progression, there wasn’t much of note. But he did have one great first half fun where he marauded up to the 6 yard box and was in great position for a cross…but the ball came in low near post and was cleared. That was Richards’ moment!
Good call.9 minutes added, I expect Villa to get an equalizer at least.
That perked my ears up too. The wit of the commentary is just at another level compared to most American sports TV“An act of grand larceny by The Blades.”
New manager bounce. They did look more cohesive than recently. Enough? Probably not. Just don’t see who in the pitch is good enough to carry this club.Good call.
Fair play to The Blades, it's a much better point for them.
Should be another. Johnson is going to be a real player if he can get his finishing going a bit.RICHARLISON!
Another rip by Johnson, parried to Son, who scores. 2-0. Everton had 4 straight clean sheets coming in. Spurs have 2 in 18 minutes.Should be another. Johnson is going to be a real player if he can get his finishing going a bit.
They’ve been lethal.Another rip by Johnson, parried to Son, who scores. 2-0. Everton had 4 straight clean sheets coming in. Spurs have 2 in 18 minutes.
Spurs have been fortunate that Everton have done so poorly with their chances. Their lead is deserved, they carved us open on their two goals, but DCL Harrison and Garner have all put balls right at the keeper when a more dangerous shot was waiting to be had with a bit more composure.Spurs have lost all control, need the halftime whistle before they give up the goal.
With the foot and the push it was a foul and a quarter.That’s not a foul
That was 50/50 at best - it was not a clear an obvious error - and to call back a goal because of that?With the foot and the push it was a foul and a quarter.
