The Rumour Commode XLVI: Jetski for Prick edition

[pippofan]

Speaking of depression I think everyone has up and down moments and tries to deal with them the best they can. Living by myself far away from family is not easy and for entire days I don’t speak with a real human being but for company write nonsense here and on Facebook. When I was with my family in Rhode Island I kept talking non-stop telling stories to my daughters and their kids, same in Italy last summer, they couldn’t shut me up. I would realize it and apologize for being a “chiacchierone” but they didn’t seem to mind and we really had a wonderful time together. I’ve always been some kind of a dreamer but to me it’s like a defensive mechanism to fight depression with an alternate reality, just like the hope that tomorrow will be better, and sometimes it is. As a senior citizen at times I feel invisible but that’s the way it is and I’ve learned to live with it. I love AC Milan but it’s a hobby, a distraction, except when we won the derby it lifted my morale and everything was good with the world. When we lose and play badly I get angry and get critical but it doesn’t last and soon start concentrating on the next match.

lol the European mind has no comprehension of how a defensive tackle is built Onyewu was built like a running back or safety.

Google says Ibrahimovic was 8 pounds heavier, which I would believe because he was tall and pretty well built for a footballer.

I tried to do best of both worlds and make an exaggerated reference both worlds would understand since I know he's not like a Jordan Davis level mountain but still, rbs and safeties aren't super big on average and not everybody knows Derrick Henry for me to drop his name since he's about at tall as Onyewu and buffer but similarly shaped
As an average he's probably outside linebacker sized since they need to be agile enough to drop into coverage and strong enough to stop the run or swim through offensive tackles

I'm watching Serbia and Pavlović is playing really well, it's time for him to return to the starting line up.

80% of his mistakes come from choosing to pass with his right foot despite being absolutely useless with it

Even the successful passes he makes with his right are very bouncy and hard to control it's baffling he trusts it so much

Although safeties aren’t big, as far as frames go (height and weight), he probably is closer to a safety or wide receiver. Even there, the distribution of that weight is going to be very different. The difference in the athletic demands for each sport are so radically different. American football’s short bursts of play time causes these guys to train to put out a ridiculous amount of explosiveness and power. It is common to have guys Onyewu’s size, as safeties and receivers, putting up 20 reps of 225lbs and with just sub track star times on the 40m.

On the other hand, I’d assume most NFL guys would fall over dead trying to play 90 competitive minutes of footie

Swissies could have used a bit of Oka4 in that game

Onyewu is 6ft4 and 95kg/210lbs, that's dk metcalf sized. Definitely an outlier. On average wrs are around 6ft and even the longer strong safeties are around 6ft2



It's not common in association football to be that fkin wide at that height and imagine that mountain of a man tryina run a route
Closest thing I can think of is sule but even he's not as wide shouldered and muscular jus a bit chubby

Jesus… 6’4… in my head I had him a couple inches shorter. That shifts things on its own, as most NFL skill players are a bit lower to the ground than that… so I stand corrected. One of my desk quants is obsessed by the change in athletic stats over the decades, across a broad range of sports. He’d actually been talking that the trend for safeties is a bit shorter, but heavier. Like 6’1, 215. WR are well lighter than that.

1-When I was with my family in Rhode Island I kept talking non-stop telling stories to my daughters and their kids,
2-When we lose and play badly I get angry and get critical but it doesn’t last and soon start concentrating on the next match.

1-How old are you

2-It doesn't last OK, though we know the outcome of the next match, mostly when it comes to UCL.

Why???

When I see what college football athletes do and what NFL players used to do before safety regulations made them cut back. Fitness would be the least of their concern imho.

You aren't running full effort for 90 mins in football, it's low intensity to short bursts to jogging and walking about.
Very few footballers run all game.

Even full intensity efforts in football are most likely less intensive than American football.

Today it's probably more comparable as NFL players take so many plays off but before they had defensive lineman, linebackers and some receivers that played much more downs all the time and had to give big efforts on many plays.

As to size of Onyewu - TEs are that size, DEs. In basketball PFs are that size.

I can't see why anyone would try to mess with him though - he just looks like a henchman / bouncer from any action movie. He looks like a mutant and because he played football it accentuated that.

We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.

Pep is going on an Italian tv show tomorrow called “Che Tempo Che Fa” to do an interview. I’m sure they’ll ask him if he’ll coach in Serie A.

Musah just scored his first goal for the USA on an assist from Pulisic

Theo and Leao play well for their countries

Success Formula is simple = OUT: Zlatan, Furlani, Fonseca, Moncada. IN: Maldini, Mascara, Zinedine Zidane

Pavlovic-Gabbia is what we should try

I’m absolutely done with Tomori

 

[Kmoney]

Musah just scored his first goal for the USA on an assist from Pulisic

Musah should be developed as a RB

I think he’d do better there than Emerson or Calabria

His passing and awareness isn’t good enough to play as a 6

[Hitchens]

“They both fell to the ground, Onyewu got up calmly, he was really good, with a heart of gold. Not that Ibra isn’t, but he’s more impulsive and he immediately got up, started insulting him and spoke in Swedish, we didn’t understand anything.

“He tried to grab Onyewu like that [by the collar], he grabbed him to knock him down and what did Onyewu do? He grabbed Ibra and ‘bam’. He threw him down. I think there was a camera filming everything, I think they turned it off.

“For Onyewu it was easy, like getting a glass of water. Imagine Ibra, the guy is huge, he grabbed him and let him go to the ground, threw him down and jumped on him, blocked him and raised his arm. When he did that I said to him: ‘Stop, my God, stop, you’re going to kill him!'”

[Chiko]

They both haven’t been the same this season for Milan. I think it’s mainly Fonseca’s fault honestly. He has to get these guys working or we gona have a very poor season. I suspect if he doesn’t he will be sacked anyway.

Pulisic Assist. Musah goal.

"Pochettino? He knows a lot about my background, he knows about my academy days at Valencia and Arsenal. That’s why I played wide, I used to play in that position.”

“It’s nice to have a coach that knows a lot about me, and that has a lot of faith in me. I’m just really grateful.”

I don't think so, it's like converting Salad to RB...

Both can play wider from and in midfield but aren't defenders.

Both want to get on the ball and get forward. While having the engines to get up and back, neither are FBs for pure current set up.

Maybe as part of a 5 at the back, or wider as part of a midfield 4...

Musah shone for me at the WC for America, retrieving and recovering balls, recycling and starting forward movements.

He's stagnated while here but I really hope he can develop into a great wee player for us.

Who was Captain America's black side kick in the marvel movies?

I look forward to the Milan PR team having fun with that one lol.

“It’s nice to have a coach that knows a lot about me, and that has a lot of faith in me. I’m just really grateful.”

Lol, that is a confirmation that Musah doesn't like to play in the middle. Earlier in the season he said that he doesn't understand how to play that role, and now this shit. If that is indeed the case, our backups for Fofana and Reijnders are a wheelchair guy, a lazy second striker, a winger, and Futuro kids. This is some next level atrocious squad building. I would rather had Adli in our squad, than any of those 3.
