Pascal told Talles how much D our wingers have to play.
Relatedly but off topic, I never paid much attention to Pascal's accent, but listening to this longish clip it struck me that unlike many Europeans who learn English he does not have any English accent mixed with his native accent. Which is more surprising because he was born in England, grew up in Holland, has one English and one Dutch parent, and is himself a dual English/Dutch citizen. If anything it sounds like he tries to affect an American accent, and IMO does so pretty well, though a little lilt of something underlies it. Which doesn't sound at all Dutch to me, but I don't know what else it would be.
Must have learned it from Earnie Stewart.
Yeah Earnie sounds mostly American also. It's less surprising since he's an overseas military brat so he grew up with it. And his slight accent does sound like it could be Dutch to me.

I’d normally say save him from himself and keep him on left but we don’t have that striker to get behind atm, but still keep him on left
if that is his focus then more power to him. forcing him to play there is one thing, but if he WANTS to play there, he has no one to blame but himself if he fails. Based on what Jansen said, he asked all the right questions and left it up to Magno to determine what needs to be done.
Hopefully, his mind and motivation are in a good place after spending time back with this new group and with Jansen. We need a good boost in our attack and a Magno producing elite numbers is exactly what we need from a DP spot.
