the difference with gyorkores is undeniable. what’s tough right now is finding how to fit eze and odegaard together, as we did seem to be more dynamic and dangerous when odegaard was out and eze was playing his position. of course trossard was also starting then, as were saliba and gabriel and timber (😭😭😭), so it really is difficult to even say exactly why our attack is or isn’t better than it was a month ago. christ, we’re so injured that a post about how gyorkores opens up space for the wingers turned into a diatribe about our injury crisis. shit is inescapable.

Gyökeres has a skillset unique among our attackers: No one else in the squad consistently makes direct runs at toward the opposing goal, always “riding defender’s shoulder” to get in behind, and makes those runs all match long. This pulls the defense out of shape and creates space for everyone else, as noted in the post. 

All these injuries (and sporting’s fuckery this summer) have meant the cohesion among still isn’t quite there. But to will be. And when it is…

On a recent Handbrake episode, they demo’d their songs for players who didn’t have one yet, and this was Amy Lawrence’s submission. Looks like it stuck. 😄

i have a song for zubi that’s done to the tune of The Association’s “Windy”. i’ve never actually written permanent lyrics so they change a bit every time lol, but it’s more or less:

who’s coming down and setting the tempo 

bossing the match with the greatest of ease

he left from spain to come to north london 

it’s martin zubimendi!!!!!

also the fact that i deadass created our saliba chant remains one of the coolest things of my life, and i demand that you all come to my funeral and burst out singing it at the most inopportune time.
