  1. No, they're jumping higher simply because they're usually better athletes.
  2. If you're running your forward momentum will reduce your verticality. Science.
  3. Have him hold his arms straight over his head and jump. Then measure how high the tips of his fingers are at the apex.
  4. To be fair, "positions" are fairly meaningless in City's system. He's a "left back" because traditionally, we need to label players as such. In use, he's more of a left-sided midfielder.
  5. Why sign a mediocre player when you can sign a mediocre player WITH AN OVERBEARING PARENT WHO THINKS THEY SHOULD BE RUNNING THE CLUB?
  6. Not today https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce66VAMrDJs/
  7. As long as he scores one awesome goal every two months he can stay here forever as far as I'm concerned.
  8. Considering the crosses Lucas Digne is capable of sending into the box, I'd like one who can use his head to redirect it into the net once in a while.
  9. Ben Mee to replace Gregg Evans at The Athletic.
  10. We spend too much time worrying about formation and not enough about players. No matter the formation, everybody ends up with five or six attacking and everybody dropping back in defense.
  11. I wish we had somebody with that lack of production on our team.
  12. I was afraid saying "American football fan" would be too confusing.
  13. Feel like I'm the only American soccer fan in existence not to think he's anything special. Limited range as a passer, and doesn't offer a whole lot else. Could live with him as a squad option, but wouldn't want him as somebody we rely on weekly.
  14. If we sign Bellingham will City unretire his shirt?
  15. I'm not saying he's wrong, but he doesn't have to say it, either. He's trying to save face with the club's supporters, which is understandable. He could've simply said "Diego made the decision he felt best for him, and we respect it and wish him well."
  16. Story confirming Newcastle had agreed to a deal with Diego in January but Sevilla didn't want to sell him. Also Sevilla's director takes a shot at Villa! https://www.90min.com/posts/diego-carlos-sevilla-chief-reveals-why-newcastle-january-transfer-fell-through
  17. This season is the first time Kane has finished below his xG since they started tracking it (publicly) in 2017-18. He's still scored 105 goals on 90.9 xG. He's pretty established as a well above-average striker from both the eyes and the numbers.
  18. If he doesn't score at least 15 Premier League goals this year I want him gone.
  19. No, it means he overperformed expectations based on the chances he had the last two seasons, and this year he performed to what was expected of the chances he got. Yes, it would help if he had more chances, but 25 goals on 16.7 xG is a wild overperformance that very few players in the world can maintain, if any.
  20. Very much this. 2019-20: 25 goals on 16.7 xG 2020-21: 13 goals on 8.3 xG 2021-22: 7 goals on 7.3 xG We bought high.
  21. Of all the places on the internet I thought I could go to without a debate about AOC breaking out....
  22. Story says Southampton, Bournemouth and Brighton have interest in Ings. If we sell him, prefer to send him to Bournemouth or Southampton rather than a Brighton side we'll be competing against.
  23. Let's look at this logically. Gabriel Jesus has won trophies at Man City and has played for the Champions League. Now he's looking to leave because his place in the team is unsettled with Haaland coming in. He had long been connected to Arsenal until Arsenal missed out on the top four. He's been connected to Real Madrid, etc. And we're supposed to believe he's going to choose Aston Villa to compete for a spot in the Europa League? I know we're desperate for something tangible but let's try to use our brains, lads.
  24. And? What does Anwar El Ghazi have to do with Trezeguet? £8.75 million for a player is nothing. If you didn't like him, fine, but to call him a waste while pretending anybody thought he would be Mo Salah is idiotic.
