Gedion Zelalem Signs for NYCFC

So..... Gedion Zelalem eh?

Thought he looked ok in his half hour or so, definitely looked to pick the ball up and do something with it, which is an upgrade on reserve CMs that we've had for a few years (think Bedoya, Amagat, Final Season Tommy Mac...)

Yeah had some nice turns. Good vision, line breaking passes. Also struggled to get into the game a bit as that weird second striker. When he dropped deep to collect the ball a la Maxi I liked what I saw. Looked lazy at times lol.

Didn’t see the match but enjoying reading everybody’s takes......

a 6/8 playing as a 9 with only 2ish days of practice and as expected preseason fitness..... the good stuff you described is the skill stuff, the bad stuff described is the assimilation/fitness stuff. Seems fine.
 
I would say his skill ok the ball and composure is great. He can find space and make good decisions. However, he's not super strong physically. At least he didn't seem to be. A little too short on play time to really make an assessment, probably.
 
There were a few times during the mach where I really enjoyed his handling on the ball - looked like it was glued to him. That is an amazing trait for a team like ours that plays from the back - at one point I remember seeing him squeeze it between two midfielders. Otherwise, don't remember too much.
 
This is clearly a critical issue for Google if they want to win the burgeoning and lucrative forumsgoing demographic.

I am using Android 9 and the script works for me. The reply that pops up is white and a bit difficult to see though. I didn't know about that feature until you guys mentioned it though. It also gets hidden under my popup for Google stuff.
