Loan Watch 2022/2023

Luuk de Jong off injured so Fabio goes central. Not great for de Jong but good for us I suppose
 
Yerson started and helped Cincy keep a clean sheet at Orlando yesterday.

Watched the first half, he's playing left side of a back 3. Easy to see why we let him go on loan: step for step, he's nearly an exact copy of Toti. Very communicative with his teammates, though, which I always like to see.
 
Son has mates round watching the game, I gave it large beforehand how Lonwijk was going to shut then out...
 
My mate castigating him is blind as he's not at fault for it at all.

He's getting boatlaods of stick by their twitter crew, though.

He looks a wee bit culpable to me
 
If he's the one that steps up then that's absolutely on him
 
It's such a high risk strategy which relies on lonwijk getting it right and the linesman. It might work with VAR but not in L1. He's got to play the percentages and slow his man down rather than letting him sprint through unopposed on goal.
 
They won, so all is good in our passive agresssive household it would appear
 
He’s not offside anyway. In the modern world that’s not even close (fully aware no VAR at this level).

It’s the the right idea he just identifies it way too late
 
Guedes an unused sub for Benfica last night. We're going to end up loaning him out to worse and worse clubs for the rest of his contract.
 
Saving him for the important games aye they

i'd argue trying to play offside in L1 (without VAR) when the margins are so tight is a very high risk strategy.

Even if Lonwijk gets it right, there's no guarantee the lino will.
 
Which pixel is Lonwijk?

Always says this “this file is too large” so there you go! 😘

That’s the same at any level (Sunday league to Championship?). You can’t just not play offside, an absolute massive part of the game, because the official might not do their job. If he steps up half a second earlier the guy is 5 yards offside and it’s an easy decision.

He just tracks it too far, thinks “oh shit what am I doing” and steps up. By then he is already too deep (3 yards deeper than NML) and the guy kicks it first time so ends up being a tight decision rather than a blatant one.
 
Sarkic out for the season apparently

That shape is all over the place! I'd have been freaking out, too.

Not a great look for young Nigel either way. Hopefully something he can learn from.
 
Ki Jana doing the business for stoke. Good finish tbf.
