That was a worthwhile transfer

Adrian Heath strikes again.

Can’t stand the man.

RCB – YERSON MOSQUERA – 5​

The young Columbian center back has been excellent so far this season, but he’ll want to forget this frigid match. Besides needlessly giving up the penalty, he was also late to challenges all night, racking up a team-high 4 fouls conceded. He also only won 3 of his 7 ground duels. He was successful on both of his attempted tackles (2) and added a block and 3 interceptions.

He wasn’t great on the ball either, completing just 64.3% of his passes, with only 2 of them being progressive. He did, however, add a key pass. His night was up and down overall, and he might have scored higher had he not been solely responsible for giving away the penalty kick that allowed the Fire to take the lead in the first half.

Spelled it "Columbia", must be a Brit.

How can you win '3/7 ground duels' but win 'both attempted tackles'?

 

[Johnny75]

Fuck off with 'ground duels'. Load of nonsense.

A duel is an 50-50 contest between two players of opposing sides in the match. For every Duel Won there is a corresponding Duel Lost depending on the outcome of the contest.

A tackle is defined as a play in which a player connects with the ball in a ground challenge, successfully taking the ball away from the man in possession.

Possession of the ball being firmly with the tackled player seems to be the differentiator.

Jonny showed on Saturday his understanding of tackles is a little limited.

Stopped clock and all that!

Cheeky git, he meant the player.

Sounds like a complete and utter load of bollocks to just get stats lovers drooling. Fire it into the sun.

What would you like to do with them?

 

[Alan]

What would you like to do with them?

I dunno, guess it depends on how much money someone is willing to throw at us for him.

 

[Lycan]

Silva has given an interview saying that he wants to stay at PSV next season.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Then they can make a bid to buy him. Fuck loaning him out again.
