Pedro Porro

Hope we don't rush him back into starting lineup, we may need to alternate him and whoever is cover for first few weeks

The best of the best!

Hopefully he’ll take on Lloris’ mantle of being a World Cup winning captain who clearly loves our club as we begin a new era of challenging for PL and CL titles 🤞

cant disagree with any of that
 
some figures from google search and AI, take it as it is. lots of improvement for dezerbi to look at being more efficient and effective. (incomplete crosses = lost possession/turnover )

Interesting as I thought his "% Comp" rate was considerably lower than that last season. Unsurprisingly the "Total Crosses" number is more than double anyone but Kayode (do his throw-ins count? :p ).

Frank-ball was truly abysmal to watch, especially as we have two CFs, neither of whom are especially good in the air!

Spamming crosses without a plan to load the box is unbelievable, regardless of how good your 1 CF on the field is in the air. Double up when you realize Kudus had the exact same orders

kudus didn't get much help from porro when double marked.
spence does more with runs behind the attackers to attract players or getting into attacking spaces himself. the WC was a great example for porro to follow next season.

Maybe Porro was given orders not to make runs ahead of Kudus so that Kudus wouldn't be responsible for tracking back in case of a break against us? The same when playing with Yamal for Spain.

Frank's tactic was
- Bang the ball up to Kudus regardless of how many people were around him or if he had space
- Kudus would try to take his man on, gain space, then spam cross
- If he couldn't get past, pass the ball back to Porro
- Porro then spam cross into box

So, yes, I think him not making runs past Kudus was orders, additionally Frank didn't believe in shots from zone 14 (a strength of Porro, and one of the value options of his late runs)
