Jonathan Biabiany, Gervinho, Alessio Cerci, DeAndre Yedlin types

The thing that gets me is there are examples of players being Uber athletic who aren’t good so clearly it’s not JUST athleticism for these top players

being athletic makes it easier to do so

you have to put the ball in the net to win

there's a reason goals and points have the strongest correlation with compensation]

there's a reason they do fucking combines

when that's literally... a big part of what wins in sports

or scoring a lot

the thing is these guys wanna take away points from players for being athletic

He just wouldn’t drop as deep to collect the ball because he couldn’t turn and beat his man for pace

Mbappe has insane close control and positioning. He could be slow and still be effective

"Mbappe would be shit if he was slow"

the funny thing about this is… he wouldn’t be lol

the obsession with doing little dinks and turns

Like I don’t think these people realize the advantage you have if you have a player who scores every 100 minutes

HES NOT

"Mbappe would be shit if he was slow"

The literal aim of the sport is to score goals. If all a player does is score goals at a high clip, that’s a good player lol

It’s a spin off of that “stat padding” shit

Oh I know. They say it about Haaland too

I'm hearing now that Bellingham is garbage

where people say someone is shit because all they do is score lol

Caesar there's a weird movement in football culture atm

don't think we need it

hmm

Do we want a non-sports game sub instead of just a non-sports game thread in unrelated?

Random question

Jack Clarke really thinks he's Jack Grealish

weird

Strange.

I don’t know if Ask Jeeves is right wing but right wingers trust the results more than they trust the results from Google
