Hypothetical scenario:

1. You can keep our current roster for the next three years with guarantee no one will miss a single game due to injury. Caveat: no Partey, all players age and progress naturally but Jorginho who is frozen at current level.
2. Regular situation related to injuries and our transfer budget is $80M a year + what we can sell.

Which would you take? I take #1. I love this team.

Watching this Spurs-Villa game and thinking about our game yesterday, I have an idea. Before you accuse me of being an ignorant/entitled American that wants to turn soccer American, let me say I also love imagining tinkering with rules of American sports equally.

What if you drew a line at the six yard box and made a rule that each team had to have three players (including goalie) behing the line at all times. So inside the box, it would always be 8 v 8 (excluding goalie).

Goal: open play up just a little without changing the game too much.

I love “ground ball” headers.

The main reason we lost was that White wasn’t in to mess with the goalie on all those corners at the end of the game.
