With our Dutch connections, I thought we might be interested. Maybe the fact that we're not says something about him.
He's not moving.
Look at him here. Comfortable on the ball and very technical. Attracting the attention of almost 5 Liverpool defenders while in the box. Absent panicking. That is a great sign for a young player. He just needs a bit of work on releasing the ball to the proper player at proper times. As I've said above, he was trying to impress during that game. And might've hoped for a foul/penalty.
Yes, but he controls the ball very well. Notice how none of his players are also making runs. Has nowhere really to pass it. Liverpool is a very, very well organized team. Leipzig would be like Liverpool playing a championship side.
He probably does, but it's hard to discern from a picture.
I've watched those highlights. He is great technician. Controls the ball very, very well. Can dribble, pass his man. Such great players tend to struggle easily distributing the ball. But when there is a clear passing option he is more than greatly capable making a pass and finding an assist. He had more assists than goals last year. And many of his assists were spot on, difficult and timely through passes. Real assists.
You have to keep in mind here that this was Leipzig's toughest game of the season. Liverpool is a greatly organized side. While Leipzig is a lowly German side.
Also, players like him who are great technicians tend to try and do a bit too much when playing important matches when they can sell themselves to the opposing side. He was trying a bit too much in this game, I think, because he was playing Liverpool. He was trying to impress. He's such a player.
ah..well that clears it up.
Yeah, you're right. I should have said in the last Euros. I think he's been on a bit of slide since.
Only a bot wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a video and a picture.
I think it is fair to say that Simons right now is what Ngumoha hopes to become in 3 years. That would be the great hope for Ngumoha and that is what FSG are hoping for so as to be able to pocket 50-60 million something. At 19 Simons went to Holland and was a top scorer there. Then went to Leipzig and his value increased. He's progressing very well.
Other potential great hopes for Ngumoha are to become Michael Owen type-figure at Liverpool. That is extremely unlikely and they are totally different types of players. Or Sterling. A Sterling-type player. He is much more similar to Sterling. Owen never had a propensity to burry his head down. Ngumoha does. I noticed that about him right away. He can be oblivious like that. Appears to invariably use high energy when dribbling (not a great sign) (best dribbles rely upon timing, momentum and space which are not matters of speed/energy) and then also put his head down. He is very young but he made that impression during the pre-season. Again, developing youngsters is NOT something first team at a club like Liverpool can afford to do.
LFC actually does have a good tradition of making great players out of their youngsters. Especially if/when local. And a big part of that is the Anfield factor and the great support such youngsters get which can give them extra wings. Such stuff can have a particular great/big impact on young players but only if they have skills. Fowler was a good case in point. Not a great Number 9 in any way shape or form (unlike Owen who was objectively mercurial with his speed). But that is not so easy to do when/while Liverpool is seeking to actually dominate the league. Isak will need to play. And so will Ekitike. And so will Gakpo. And so will Wirtz. And so will Salah. etc.

Eberechi Eze's most severe injury was a ruptured Achilles tendon in the 2020/21 season, leading to a lengthy absence. More recently, he has dealt with hamstring issues, ankle injuries, and knee problems…
I've obviously never heard of this Facundo, but who on earth is advising him to move to Chelsea on loan? An insane move.
Betis withdraws their offer for Antony.

I don't know if it's a bad picture, or he hasn't got a proper chin so the double chin looks mad

I think that the FSG might not quite understand this what I've written here. I think they might look at numbers (assists and goals) as a statistician would who is not greatly adept at football. So they look at Isak and think he scores and can assist too. And they do the same with Ekitike. But that is wrong thinking.
Strikers are usually extremely selfish players that at all times position themselves so as to get involved. And because of that they can get assists by doing nothing. Via random flicks and bounces, or via random, ordinary passes that do not create space and/or goal-scoring opportunities. That happens because they are always in front of the goal. Any player that is always in front of the goal will have an unusually inflated number of assists because he must be relied upon for a goal to be scored.
A player like Simons, in contrast, typically gets the ball while deeper in the field and by nature of his positioning must create space. A player like Simons has an opposite problem to that of strikers. Many of his actual assists do not get counted. A good example of that is this assist by Szoboszlai. It is Szoboszlai that exercised thinking and decision-making which has created the most critical space for Ngumoha to score. Yet this assist is not counted for Szoboszlai. Players who play deeper in the midfield always have that problem. Much of their actual value can go totally unseen, untalked about, and unappreciated. While strikers, in contrast, can very, very often get value just because they are around the goal.
Some goals that strikers score almost any player would score. And many assists that strikers make almost any player would make.

I don't get the joke.
Don't encourage him! He will make 6 posts with pics and 3000 words on each post explaining his joke and giving other examples
Yeah, but what was the joke?
