Today's Football - 2023/2024 Season

[Walham Green Blue]

Fulham are unlucky not to have come away with something there.

They weren’t brave enough and, out of 2 poor sides, reckon we deserved it.

Sterling did go over a bit like Williem Dafoe in Platoon though...

You got to admit that one at least...

Gone over the ball, yes it's a red card. Willian lucky he foot wasn't planted cos that's an ankle snapper. crap house!

 

[Tommy Chong]

Straight red for me...

Commentators just said he’s top in Europe’s top 5 leagues for loads of different metrics including duels won, dribbles touches in box etc - elite they called him……

What metrics? Let’s see them. He’s absolutely never “elite” to my eyes, Phil Foden, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham are “elite” Conor Gallagher is absolutely nowhere near them. That’s laughable really.

Are these commentators neglecting this stat:

Yeah he really isn't though, see for yourself, top 10's for the top 5 leagues in the world (under the big table about halfway down the page)

With respect , if the commentators says he’s top ifEurope five leagues for duels, dribbling, ball retention, tackles or what ever it was…. I’m believing them

Roasting Declan rice also

So where are these top in Europes top 5 leagues at anything to do with football stats? Are you really advocating from the above that Conor Gallagher is better than Declan Rice?! Good grief.

20 games.

20 + shots…. 0 goals.
20 + tackles… 47 fouls
20 + touches in opposition box… 4 assists.

That's just saying he has had 20+ in a variety of categories, yes that's fairly impressive and you certainly wouldn't think it watching him but it doesn't put him in the top of the top 5 leagues. Here look at this (Also from Opta btw)

You won't find him in any of the top10's on here for stuff, It's just the commentators talking Chelsea up at the end of the day mate.

He's ok... Not great.

Honestly have seen much of an improvement over Mason Mount who I assume he replaced.
