there are four major CB archetypes
—The ‘Bulldog’ (rough, disruptive CBs like RUDIGER/ROMERO)
—The ‘Visionary’ (vision/reading of space like VVD/SALIBA)
—The ‘Baller’ (on-ball virtuosos like STONES/BASTONI)
—The ‘Firefighter’ (puts out intensifying attacks like KONATE/ARAUJO)
Scouted Jair Cunha when he was playing in second division of the Brazilian League.
He has arrived exactly as I predicted. Already the elite of the Prem in just a season. Most professional scouts can’t even give you this level of accuracy into the game.
This is Timothy Heritage.
The reason Sunderland are drowning is the same reason many other Premier League clubs & has been a huge cancer in football decision making circles forever.
Sticking with the past: not using your new better signings to upgrade on old, comfortable staples who've been at the club.
The only real solution I can see on this is more authority for the sporting director who must be bold, demanding & the final authority on which player & role choices.
The modern SD is shy background character who wants to hide in his little cocoon. This will simply not work.
The reason Villa isn’t struggling or stuck like Sunderland, Brighton or Newcastle is luck.
Villa always find themselves in a dire, desperate situation with no safety so they are forced to innovate & create value with new signings like this season. This is why they bounce back.
With Salah, he was an attacker & attackers have an objective value system which is G/A therefore all the
‘Salah is stiff’
‘He’s not technical’
‘He can’t dribble or pass’
‘bomb first touch’
lies can be shut down easier.
Unfortunately Szoboszlai as a midfielder does not.
He was the second best player in our title winning 24/25 season but people lied & shifted that credit to others.
He was our best the next by an obscene distance but apparently all the superb other aesthetic players in Liverpool had an off year so it doesn’t count.
hi friends !!! i made a little player sorter for funsies. just choose your fave of the 2 until it calculates your full ranking. so far i've built it for atleti, barça, arsenal, and bayern. and there are themes based on each team's kits !!

The Liverpool Conspiracy.
Szoboszlai is the only other player to singlehandedly carry us to UCL.
Isn’t it interesting how Szobo hate has snowballed out of nowhere just like with Salah last season?
Both after both players singlehandedly carried us in a POTY season.
