A little ramble on youth sport and it's delivery. When I talk about obliquity, I mean to get away from the rigid linearity that we continue to embrace. We generally think "we need to build future prospects!" (IE "professionals"). The words steer our beliefs and delivery.

Another #5debutalbums7074 contender, Suzi Quatro's self titled debut. My dad played this all the time growing up.

Rude of Cuti to steal the headlines from Paul Tierney like that. But his brace was a MASSIVE life saver for the Frank train right now. Still not great creating threats on target from open play, have to improve midfield balance. But a humongous point salvaged at a difficult place to play. #COYS

Cant win if you don't threaten opponent's goal with strikes on target. 20 mins to change that pathetic stat.

Gray for Bentancur and Simons for Sarr. Straight 4-3-3 single pivot, Beefball as box to box. Then Spence for Porro

Bergvall can cause problems when he receives on the run. We just can't find him with that pass frequently enough.
