Football ain't even real you know. There's no need to be heated. I am actually alive in a warm house right now. Alhamdulilah. I can go eat food with my family or speak to my old friends if I want. Imagine if a fella called Ange is going to ruin my day.

Raheem Sterling, Ethan Nwaneri linkup for the third is beautiful to see. Some finish and some player Nwaneri is. And for it to be assisted by Sterling who had some of that same hype around him as an incredibly talented youngster is a nice narrative.

Just seen that Saka goal. It ‘feels’ wrong that he’s not given more license to play the game centrally. He’s an incredibly rounded footballer who is needed on that flank for Arsenal but I’m inclined to think with more responsibility and down the middle he’d look even better.

Thanks for the mention @umirf1.bsky.social! Fully agree with quality over quantity message. open.substack.com/pub/umirirfa...

Arsenal lack players able to receive on the half turn in one motion. Havertz is okay at it for a big guy. Odegaard is good. Saka is great. But in their physical superiority approach, they’ve lost some of that quality to play through small spaces in the middle quickly.

my biggest flex.

Said it in my video for The Overlap but Rashford suits that 9 role up top under Amorim. Could see Rashford’s numbers explode if he’s confident, empowered and given space to attack vertically. Amorim and Rashford has the potential to be so exciting.

Love Umir’s content on Twitter/X and even on the overlap with H. Hope he continues to post more of his content here so that people who’ve moved to bluesky can view it too 😄

We spoke about Spurs’ season in depth on The Overlap Breakdown YouTube channel. Really recommend a watch if you haven’t caught it yet 🤝

So is this really a thing? We using this actively? If so, that’s super exciting ngl.

Don’t know how to use this. Will likely copy paste tweets here. But hey, it’s a football space I’ve heard.
