Besler+Ilie make all the difference today n the world. Ben being able to step in and fill in for Roger is just as huge. Also Hasler>Zusi, I said it.
Guys, Jimmy actually played tonight. So huge. Our best 1v1 defender, his left foot rivals Johns as best on the team, can/will play all 3 levels. We get him 90 minutes fit and keep Bes/Ilie healthy and the run will come.
So Johnnys getting called up for Scotland and Nemeth got suspended a second game for his red card. This year is fucking absurd.
Rowe, I don’t care if the net is empty and you are 2 feet away. Pass it don’t shoot. And Zusi gives it away in our own third AGAIN.
Bukatey and Matt are such trash. They know 90% of the audience only watches Sporting so they spew vocal vomit the entire match. “Sibiga is consistent in that he lets players work it out on the field and doesn’t go to his pocket. Yeah, especially early in the match he’ll let them play.” The same Sibiga that handed us 6 first half yellows and 11 total cards vs LAFC. He’s consistently inconsistent.
Background: The club in Germany he went to only gave him 2 sub appearances. They also were just promoted from BL2 to BL. All signs point to Khirey getting cut. He sent an Instagram earlier with his suitcase at the airport with MCI tags saying “going home”. Sam said he talked to him and he’s just “visiting old friends on his down time.”
I’d bring in Jimmy for Salloi. More speed to use in the counter and more defense to help Seth with Elis.
So I was like 99% sure I saw Brian Bliss sitting on the bench during the U20 match today and I looked it up and he’s an assistant coach on the team. Isn’t that weird?
