Saw Memphis got a start at striker today. I've been saying for years that's his best position. He should be playing there for club and country.

For club hardly because Mariano is quite the poacher.
In general however, he could be tried there. Not sure he'd be able to fight through tough CB all game in order to deflect a cross into the net. I wouldn't say he has those qualities. He prefers to have the ball and unbalance the defense.
Worth a shot however.

Don’t know where to put this but apparently Ben Arfa is going to have a party for the year anniversary since the last time he played for PSG.

Haha, he announced he was leaving. Too bad he wasted two years of his prime, coming off his best season yet.

If he really goes to the MLS though he could probably set records there.

Assist leader in MLS last year had 17 and 20 the year before that. Think he could have 20-25 playing in an attacking league like that. NYRB could use him playing on the other side of Kaku, or Montreal could push Piatti further forward. The defending in MLS is pretty crap but creativity and scoring wise it's a great spot for a player to get treated like a hero and play every week.

I remember hearing that LAFC would have wanted him, but they went and signed Vela instead.

Sure. But Meunier's start of the game (blunder and then weak defending on the goal) put them in doubt.

Wow Cavani.... miss of the year no doubt.
Reminiscent of his confidence crisis over a year ago.

What's really remarkable about that play was Lo Celso stealing the ball then driving straight through the midfield and serving up a gorgeous ball for ADM. Praying for that in June.

Another huge game from Memphis...4 assists and a goal. MotM though I haven't seen it yet it lists him at striker again. He should always play striker.

It's hard to find words to describe this Lille season. Up 2-0 just to let in two goals in extra time... unbelievable stuff. If/when they are relegated it will be interesting to see who will stay and who will leave as they've got a young and expensive squad.

Monaco reimbursing their fans who traveled to Paris. Monaco don't make me fall in love. <3

And they say romance is. Dead.

Yeah it's amazing.
Galtier, who's a good manager, has managed to average less points than Bielsa who was supposed to be the problem.
There's a lot of talent in every line, but those guys don't play together. Add inexperience, lack of confidence, etc...

Trapp is one of the worst keepers at this level that I have seen. I can't believe people wanted him loaned to replace Karius.
