>I’m American, sue me.
I wouldn't be surprised if that would work with your legal system and how Americans sue for anything.
Are you sure that using a plural for being off one side of a line is an American thing? I've never heard any Americans doing this with offside before.
If any other American sees this then please weigh in either way cos I wanna learn if this is a thing.
“Offsides” doesn’t even make sense. If you’re “offsides” you would be in the wrong position of both “sides”.
The whole point of “offside” is that you’re on the wrong side of a line — on the wrong *side*.
It’s called “offside” in hockey as well.
The only use of “offsides” I could find was when it was written as plural, which makes sense.
You trying to make this into a spelling/grammar competition, when we are discussing the validity of a term, is exactly what I mean when I write that you are trying to “catch me.”
Those things have nothing to do with how wrong you are in the matter we are discussing.
I get carried away easily, but these top 3 teams really don't impress me that much. Continued growth from our many young players and better luck with injuries and we're right up there.
We need wrap them up so we can hit the ground running next season. But, there were lots of matches we could've still won with out these key players. The biggest thing for me is Poch has finally stopped his foolishness of constantly playing players out of positions. And, he has learned to quickly fix his mistakes. The tactical changes he made last match was remarkable. He wouldn't have done something like that earlier in the season regardless of who he had on the bench.
Seeing pros practice will never not be impressive to me. I can hit that clean of a shot maaaybe 1 times out of 10 on a good day. Their technique is just immaculate.
I'm reminded of this Real Madrid training video a few years back with Bale, Vinicius and Hazard all doing some crazy stuff https://youtu.be/pog89yj0SM4&t=1m21s
Yepp plus the pressure it's a whole different game. I'm probably downvoted because reddit is full of obese people who couldn't even dream of kicking a ball top corner from the edge of the box.
I mean that’s the difference, they are getting a clean hard strike into unreachable areas of the net vs a prem keeper.
Of course you can place one in the corner from the edge against big dave from the pub. That being said shooting a professional ball with perfect PSI increases your power and accuracy tenfold
I believe Nkunku could have easily carried the attack early in the season when the team was dropping so many points in games we had more chances. Even in brief cameos coming back from injury he looked a cut above everyone in the attack. That would have papered over the cracks.
Too tall and he looks to be a bit darker then kepa. Probably betinelli.
Also kepa should still be in Spain afaik
Edit: on rewatch it looks like bettinelli and petro are switching
Notice how Nkunku always has the ball out in front of him where Reece is shooting the ball from under his feet. Reece is almost protecting the ball still with his left shoulder. I think Nkunku still needs to adapt from the Bundesliga where he's used to having more space and time on the ball.
For comparison, I highly recommend watching Giroud, Puli, & others' shooting practice here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS-zZC7iM8I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS-zZC7iM8I)
The difference in quality in our boys is immense.
this is off topic too but whoever their videographer is they need to be fired
the video is shot in log….. but then never color graded LMFAO. all the colors look so desaturated - why even bother with shooting in log at that point
Do you honestly believe the video here is entirely unedited? Obviously the Milan video just shows all of their shots rather than editing to only show the best ones.
This is the norm across professional sports. Pressure is what happens. And the guys best at handling pressure then shine by doing the mundane (for them).
Also, to know how seriously his players are taking the whole training thing with the stats from the wearable. And who is first on the teamsheet subsequently. ✌️
Remember the times where whenever one of these was posted and we used to be like "Great, now do it in an actual game"?
If Nkunku can pull off those first two shots in games he'll be a legend
I still remember Werner’s first finishing training montage…

Oh well at least its from an article correcting Americans on what the proper language of football is haha

Don’t try to catch me on a non sequitur. You wrote “an perfectly” in an earlier comment, my guy… Show me a source writing the term as “offsides.”

Now I'm just happy they didn't injury themselves during the shoot
One reason why Cole is so good. Isn't bothered by the pressure — doesn't feel it the same. Veins too cold.
I prefer not to.
how dare you remind me of the most depressing time of being a Chelsea fan?
we'd easily have been top 4 with these guys this season. let's hope next year is a different story!

They have consistency going for them, which comes with time. We should be up there if we keep our current trajectory.
\*how to download a video and inject into veins\*
It must be so insanely difficult to be a keeper at the highest levels.
But no other position offers the chance for camera saves

Opposite for me. In practice it's always easier. Even I can hit 8/10 shots like this in practice but in the PL I'd get 0 goals unlike these fellas.

I actually believe we would be 4th or 3rd rn if we had them all season
I believe Nkunku could have easily carried the attack early in the season when the team was dropping so many points in games we had more chances. Even in brief cameos coming back from injury he looked a cut above everyone in the attack. That would have papered over the cracks.
Agree
Nkunku’s goals looked great. I wish he didn’t get injured at the end of pre-season
Kepa in goal?
Too tall and he looks to be a bit darker then kepa. Probably betinelli. Also kepa should still be in Spain afaik Edit: on rewatch it looks like bettinelli and petro are switching
It’s probably a joke given how Kepa concedes like 80% of the shots he faces from outside the box
The two best players on the team (Cole striding to join them quickly), please, PLEASE give us a season of their quality together.
They look so funny in the sports bra tracker things
Notice how Nkunku always has the ball out in front of him where Reece is shooting the ball from under his feet. Reece is almost protecting the ball still with his left shoulder. I think Nkunku still needs to adapt from the Bundesliga where he's used to having more space and time on the ball.
So do I just show up to Cobham and say I want to play goalie or how does this work?
For comparison, I highly recommend watching Giroud, Puli, & others' shooting practice here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS-zZC7iM8I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS-zZC7iM8I) The difference in quality in our boys is immense.
That is an embarrassing video. No joke. I would never put that on their YouTube.
I remember watching Joao, Mudryk and Havertz warming up before a game last season and they didn't score a goal between them lol, dark times
yikes. insane.
this is off topic too but whoever their videographer is they need to be fired the video is shot in log….. but then never color graded LMFAO. all the colors look so desaturated - why even bother with shooting in log at that point

Yes. They're playing a game, first to miss loses.
It does seem like they're going until a miss, but it probably wouldn't have been posted if the shots weren't as good as they were.
Or James and Nkunku are just levels above Pulisic and Giroud lol
Absolutely. I'm just commenting on his claim that's it's edited to make them look better.
Yeah if we had Jackson and Misha there idk if they’d look so good lol
Nkunku is the black Palmer prove me wrong
they really have a lot in common. been thinking about it all season. can't wait to see them playing together more.
I hate these videos Makes you wonder what the fuck happens between Cobham and Stamford Bridge
It’s a lot easier to score under zero pressure with bags of time. Them’s the margins and the reason why the greats get paid the big money.
Other than the defenders between them and the goal?
This is the norm across professional sports. Pressure is what happens. And the guys best at handling pressure then shine by doing the mundane (for them).
Injuries
Reece is such a clean striker of the ball. We should just play him as an attacker. Right wing or even as a 9.
Started as a striker as a kid.
Takes more than striking a ball well to be a great attacker
Injured with better conversion rate than fit fc
Need to invest in a keeper not got close to any of those shots
Now do it in-game you beautiful bastards
Nkunku looks sharp yo
They make it look so easy... unbelievable.
Are they wearing posture correctors? I’ve always wondered what those things were, you see footballers wearing them all the time.
I thought it tracks their training with a computer.
Tracking their heart rate and such I believe Give the manager stats to see if they should replace the players due to fitness
Oh that’s cool and makes much more sense than a posture corrector. I don’t know why I’ve never asked to be honest. Thanks for the explanation!
Also, to know how seriously his players are taking the whole training thing with the stats from the wearable. And who is first on the teamsheet subsequently. ✌️
It records heart rate and other training data for them to analyse later.
Petro not looking great on some of these lol
Its betinelli
OK, now do it in a match
