How do you know that Alderweireld will join Roma?
Thanks so much, Sam! This might be my best night as a fan! Can't believe it finally happened!
Thanks, Sam. I enjoyed the piece.
Hi Sam :)
Well, Cardozo is an outstanding finisher who seems to always be in the right place at the right time, but even the most loyal Cardozo fans will admit that he can be extremely frustrating to watch: He does absolutely no defensive work whatsoever, offers very little movement off the ball, he's extremely slow, and very one-footed. Nevertheless, he is still a fantastic goal scorer, and already a Benfica legend. Brilliant, yet frustrating.
Lima, on the other hand, has so much more to his game. His movement on and off the ball, in particular, is superb. He excels at dragging defenders out of position which in turn creates plenty of space for Cardozo to work with. He's quick, dynamic, two-footed, creative, and hard-working. Cardozo needs a hard-working, intelligent second-striker to occupy defenders, thus giving him the space he requires. Without Lima, Cardozo would really struggle to impose himself in the game.
It depends on whether Jorge Jesus opts for a 4-2-3-1 or the 4-4-2.
A 4-2-3-1 will likely consist of Lima/Cardozo up top, John on the left, Gaitan as a #10, and Salvio on the right,
A 4-4-2 will consist of both Cardozo and Lima, Gaitan on the left, and Salvio on the right.
Expect to see Enzo Perez and Matic in the midfield, and Andre Almeida at right-back.
You're choices are great, but I'd also add Lima. He's been better than Cardozo IMO.
Hey, Sam.
Prediction for Arsenal vs Wigan?
Must win for both, it'll be a real spectacle for all premier league fans. What do you think?
Hey mate, long time fan, wonderful pieces!
Currently Im writing a project for school on salaries, reveune and their relationship with winning in the BPL, was hoping you could share a good site for attaining these statistics throughout the PL era. All my attempts have been dead ends, Id truly appreciate the help. Thx either way!
Hmm. Strange that the credit didn't stick then. Not sure what the issue would be. If possible, I'd just credit Getty in that image's photo caption spot and it would be good to go.
Haha... I wouldn't be able to write an article about Chelsea, let alone other teams! Amazing how you're able to write such excellent articles on other teams! Keep up the good work!
