  1. Gotta bring Rogers in to debut in the shooting gallery.
  2. Yeah, I think he'll serb us well.
  3. As has been said, we crumble against physicality. A committed high press and willingness to foul will frustrate us. A low block will choke us. Against teams that are trying to score, we fly. But most have decided that against our offense, the best bet is to clamp down and hope for a lucky counter. I trust that Emery will evolve the tactics.
  4. A cracked polystyrene [f]an Who just crumbles and burns
  5. I'm sure many have been wondering, as I have, how the drop shadow could possibly work with embroidery or other medium where a gradient is not possible. Shame this mockup did the opposite of a drop shadow and decreased contrast.
  6. Not the ideal draw. But one thing's for sure: they're the ones who are really unhappy about it.
  7. Perhaps the fast-and-loose decisionmaking seems American, but the crest under discussion is definitely not typical of the American approach to professional sports marketing. That is usually a hyper-branded, highly designed, tightly managed, high-stakes endeavor. I thought for sure we'd get something refined and original. That's why I'm in denial that this disgrace of a trademark (and so far, it is only that) is coming from an American chief. (And I'll refrain from an opposing digression into American baseball history.)
  8. I highly doubt that we'll see that badge on a shirt. Trademarks get abandoned all the time, even after completing examination. Is there anything other than that filing to imply that it will go into production?
  9. I'm all in on this kid. When he stops trying to impress, he's going to be...impressive.
  10. A high press clearly frustrates us. A low block clearly frustrates us. But boy do we roll the noncommittal!
  11. Yeah. Seems we've got scorers who want to net the goal, but not a hold-up playmaker who wants to create it. Ollie is excellent when he's already in motion and has runway. Bailey and Diaby are great when they can breathe. But in traffic, they just can't dig it out and their exterior passes are short ditches which are less about creation than about setting up their own run. Those lovely long passes of Pau's need a target who can receive, protect, and create space before finding the scorer. Buendia's as close as we've got, but he does seem to get knocked off the ball easily. If you don't have Bernardo's feet, you need McGinn's arse.
  12. Not up there on coefficient, but Gent has been looking good.
  13. It's essentially jury nullification. The ref has decided that the first foul meets the bar for a yellow. He knows the second does as well, especially in cases like Semenyo when the second foul was worse. But for whatever reason, the ref doesn't think the two fouls are egregious enough for a player to be booted from the match. That's simply against the letter of the rule. The only other option is that he knows the first yellow was completely erroneous. Not good alternatives for the system.
  14. The bar for the second yellow is arbitrarily high. Caicedo enjoyed the same impunity today with Craig Pawson. Seems the paradoxically surefire way to not get a yellow...is to already have one.
  15. What, no "Drive from Maine to Philadelphia" option?
  16. By the Transitive Property of Soul-threatening Hope
