I'm sure you've predicted big tings for flops, and I'm sure you've also called players worse than shit and been proven wrong. Stats are sweet sweet objectivity baby.

toonotl 2409 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Read a nice article about Almiron's improved form on the Athletic by the music hater. It mentioned that Almiron's form had caused a rethink in transfer targets for his position. It's an interesting one and I suppose comes down to whether or not Almiron has turned into a 1-in-3 winger. It's possible. It could at least allow us to aim slightly more towards a young player with potential at RW to be Almiron's understudy instead of going for a replacement in someone established and more expensive. The training they've been doing with Almiron is covered in the article. It's brilliant stuff to read about the intricacies but also the simplicity of it. Getting him to watch video of top players to analyse runs. Repeated drills practicing said runs. Repeated drills with Bruno and Tripps practicing anticipating when to make runs. Aiming his shots higher in the net. Really cool to see the level of detail. The stats bear out the results too to perhaps make the argument that Almiron's improvement (though not sustainable at this insane level obviously) is perhaps permanent. Given his work rate, if he can score 10-12 goals a season with half a dozen assists then he's transformed into a brilliant player that we would really not want to replace except perhaps for tactical reason from game to game or to rest him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5902 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 It's testament to his form that we've gone from needing a RW as a priority to now needing a LW. I suspect that even when ASM is fit, Joelinton may get the nod over him in that position given his work rate and ability to follow instructions. You could say that then leaves us a CM short, but even Ciggy is looking like a world beater atm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
