Ian Rush at Juve was a disaster.

7 in 29 not too shabby in the Italian league in those days. Clearly didn’t settle but on field disaster is very strong.

Probably because he was good at sniffing out danger.

7 in 29 is poor even for the ultra defensive Italian league of that era. Especially as he was brought in to replace Platini and Boniek as the focal point of that side.

 

He simply wasn't good enough. No shame in that, Italy was the toughest league in the world at that time.

 

Of course, Liverpool fans will tell you none of it was his fault, that he failed in Italy.

And yet....

 

Hearts get a hold of Tony Bloom's data and they're competing for a title. It's not all nonsense.

 

 

I never said all stats were nonsense.

 

I like stats. A data driven approach based on facts can often provide the framework for improvements in many walks of life. Descriptive stats are great. Inferential stats in the hands of experts can be useful.

 

But this new obsession with ordinary punters using inferential stats in football discussion is hollow as fuck.
 

People love watching and talking about football because it’s a game of skill, chance and emotion, not because a Lawrence Logic punter can dig out inferential statistics.

Boniek only scored 14 in 81

Gary Neville nose for sure.

On two subjects - Bergkamp was a massive flop in Italy, 10 in 40 which is similar to Rush's, was also a disaster off the park, surly unfriendly attitude the gist of it.  Isak sounds ideal for that role.

Their players haven’t been happy with the way he’s been training (if you’re to believe those reports) - but that falls in line with how he was acting before he left here, even that small amount of training he did was half arsed at best according to club staff.

 

Happens in normal life all the time, you get some guy in some job he hates and he just walks, or “quiet quits”.. without any consideration for what happens next. Motivation completely gone and it’ll take rock bottom to rediscover it again. Except on 300k a week he may never rediscover it.

Saudi will rescue him, unfortunately.

Where's this?

[Superior Acuña]

Torres is the one that seemed biggest to me. From so good to so shit and plenty of chances to turn it around, and it just never happened. It seemed bizzare.

Not sure if apocryphal, but didn’t Rush say it was like a foreign country over there?

Shevcheko - Chelsea. 

Griezmann & Dembele - Barcelona. 

Shevchenko goes under the radar a lot, his fall was something else.

I don't know, man. At the time, it seemed like persistent injuries were starting to take their toll on him. It definitely felt to me like Chelsea were getting a player on the downward slide.

 

Liverpool were more than happy to get rid and replace him with Carroll and Suarez.

After Shearer, Shevchenko was my favourite player. Was gutted when he signed for Chelsea.

Where are you getting this?

 

I tried a search, but couldn't find anything. Some shit AI reported that were no "credible reports". When I asked for any negative reports at all,  it said there were none.

Managed to get tickets for Liverpool v PSV next month so I'll be giving this rat some grief, if he plays that is.

Isn't "quiet quitting" just establishing boundaries between work and life?

He was on the wain before he left them mind.

Carroll to Liverpool was the biggest fall from grace I've seen. 

He was unplayable when he played for us then turned to shit overnight at the scousers.

Hope you’ve reported the person who sold you the ticket?
