Greggg is a stubborn fool who believes his "system" (a mid-pressing 4-3-3 with dual 8s . . . how unique and revolutionary!!!!) is definitive in terms of roster selection. Of course, the "system" is completely thrown out the window when we are tied 1-1 against Iran in the 70th minute and need a goal to advance. Gregggg prefers Jordan Morris and Paul Arriola in a 26-man roster to Pefok. That's all you need to know to confirm that the manager is in over his head. Constantly overthinks the simple decisions. Imagine even considering leaving out a striker on fire in the Bundesliga in favor of players in MLS, the Championship and Holland. Moron.
The injuries to CCV and Richards are also a disaster for our WC prep. We desperately needed one of those two to step us as Zimmerman's partner and now Long will have an uncontested opportunity to stake a claim to that spot. Another example of Greggg's incompetence. Goes with a comfort choice (a significantly below average CB in Long) when presented with a problem (losing his first choice CB).
Buckle up gentlemen. We went 5(W)-4(D)-3(L) in the CONCACAF octagonal excluding games against pathetic Honduras while scoring 1.17 GPG.
Ream had another solid performance for Fulham deputizing at LB with many Fulham supporters naming him as one of their players of the season so far.
gerrggg prefers middling MLSer Aaron Long.
Augusta should invite all of the former champions except Patrick, blame it on LIV and then refuse to answer questions regarding why DJ and Phil continue to be invited.
The away kit would make for a solid training kit. It's a joke as an actual game kit.
The home kit would be fine without the blue neck thing if the badge was located where it is supposed to be.
I think Pefok is done, unfortunately. Greggg is only taking 3 strikers and I expect those 3 to remain Sargent, Jesus and Pepi.
Jedi and Weah will be in Qatar unless unavailable due to injury. Vines or Scally will make way for him.
I'm not sure who makes way for Weah but I would expect Tillman or Vines/Scally to get cut before Morris or Arriola.
59 mins: Tosin, 45 yards out, spots Turner off his line and tries to go over the Arsenal goalkeeper but he reacts in time to avoid embarrassment
8 mins: More idiocy from Arsenal as goalkeeper Turner dithers on the ball on the byline, eventually passing it straight to a Zurich player who whacks the ball off the post via a deflection. The subsequent corner is then flapped at by Turner who gives another one away. Not an encouraging start on his debut.
All Harfoots (Harfeet) are hobbits but not all hobbits are Harfoots. The show's treatment of them isn't inconsistent with lore, although Tolkien barely addresses the existence of hobbits before the Third Age.
