With Joelinton being so much better in midfield, which other players do you think would be 'unlocked' by a role/position change?

@jackfuller1478 2 жыл бұрын

Everyone acting like Joelinton has been revolutionised when he was never a striker in the first place. More of a second striker/attacking mid in Germany. It’s only because Bruce was such a donut that he persisted at playing him as a forward. It’s hardly shocking that when a player reverts to their natural position that they are suddenly much better.

Are players now reaching their potential at an earlier age? With advances in training and increased resource, it seems like players break into the first team at a younger age and then hit their ceiling pretty quickly, where as previously they would have developed over a longer period.

The problem with that thinking is that this isn't the NFL. Seasons impact every season after them. And winning generates money which can be used to buy better players who make winning easier in a never ending circle. It's easy to perform the best when you have by far the most money and can buy a squad full of world class players than when the teams' revenues are shared and their talent levels are much closer.

We've essentially been a Europa League side since the 80s, and made the UCL semis in '95, where we also got our first Ballon D'Or winner in George Weah (who technically won it with Milan, the same way Messi "technically won it with us this year, all the achievements that won it for him were done at the previous club)

Question: Free kicks are almost never taken quickly. Referees booking/admonishing players typically prevents this, but sometimes there seems to be no reason that a quick free kick is called back. The ball is still, no bookings are to be made, and the player takes it quick but the ref pulls it back. Why is this? Can any rule changes be made to speed up the play and ALWAYS allow free kicks to be taken quickly?

@bigburrito2373 2 жыл бұрын

i believe the front 3 of Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar can absolutely work, but only if you abandon the press. they need to be at the front of a 343 and the team needs to sit deep in defense, with the front 3 not too far away from the halfway line. clogging the central space is a rational way to defend, and the 3 acting as a single defensive unit (Mbappe being marginally more advanced, more of a forward than an inverted 10) can be effective in showing the ball wide. Nuno Mendes and Hakimi will be wonderful as wide players in that middle 4, and i believe playing Verratti in a 2 with someone like Gueye is a sensible choice. they have plenty of central defenders capable of playing in a 3, and Marquinhos is comfortable coming forward and functioning as a makeshift 6 if need be. you simply cannot expect a Pochettino style press to work with this team, but a pragmatist and excellent man-manager like Ancelotti would flourish with this squad. Edit: i accidentally called him Mess instead of Messi, very rude of me

How is it that injury rates are declining in football? It feels like players are out for injury all the time these days with more congested schedules and increasingly physical demands (fullbacks)

Question: It seems fouled players are a lot more likely to be given a penalty/free kick if they fall on impact, compared to managing to stay up and try finding a pass/finish. Are refs not allowed to rule a penalty if players stay on their feet? If they are, are there statistics showing that players gets decisions their way more often if they fall (from the same offences from opposition players)? Sorry for the long question, i hope this doesn't prevent me from getting answered. Love you all!

For the jersey numbers, please correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t it technically required that keepers wear certain numbers depending on the competition? Like in the World Cup, keepers wear 1, 12, or 23. In La Liga, first team keepers wear 1, 13, or 25. And in Ligue 1, first team keepers wear 1, 16, or 33? Something like that
