What are you seeing?

Having looked at it, I agree. But venomous shots from the edge of the box are exactly what we wanted more of from Ö and I thought his shuttling of the ball was generally for the good. I do think the metrics you are asking for exist: final third entries, expected threat, packing, etc

he had a shot tipped over the bar man

11 Timbers – can you imagine?

It all feels very straw man and ad hominem is what I’m saying. Or is the substance of it something like “Galloway cloaks himself in progressive issues but his ideas push us right back to the same misogynistic equilibrium?” Because that is a better faith argument but I don’t think it’s true.

Professor Jarvis, do we torch *everything* that doesn’t fit our preferences? Galloway gives you the “ick”, that is clear. What is your actual argument though? Fundamentally he is preaching respect, specifically towards women, which is not just better than Tate, it is diametrically opposed to it.

I am also fine with Galloway. We need an anti-Tate, which is what this represents, as much as people want to lump them together.

Scott, does this suggest a YOLO midfield with Ode/Zubi/Eze is worth the gamble? With the aim of resting Rice.

Completely disagree.
