PiedPilko Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Time for weekly Eustaquio gushing: He stayed further back today so play didn't flow through him as much as usual. What was interesting, is that his tackling/aerial duels seem like they've really improved, the few chances he's had to show it. He's not very big, and tackling has never been his strength, so it seems like he's been working on it. Eustaquio's already incredibly well-rounded in possession, so if he can add that to his game, he could be really scary. sebdeserio, Club Linesman, Ruffian and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colliedor Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Watching him go against my Porto team. Just scored to make it 2-0. Played a fantastic volley through ball during the set up. Doing it all night. Also helped set up a goal that, even I admit was wrongfully called back. Basically killing Porto right now.. God I wish we sign him lol.

Ansem Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Here's the goal! I don't speak much Portuguese but if they say Eustaquio a lot, that's a good thing - right? Strait Red, N1ckbr0wn, costarg and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Portuguese, it's French. 😛 Unfortunately, he just conceded a pk just now. Controversial handball. Not sure what else he could've done there.

Snowcrash Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Man of the match, easily. To follow his one touch pass near midfield to spring the player on the opposite wing with a lung bursting sprint to the box to slot it into the corner is up there in top Canadian plays of the year, probably only behind Davies' assist against Barcelona. lamptern, costarg, Corazon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, 90% of ball to hand situations in the box get called. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuicyHam Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 This game should be 3-0. There's literally no chance that it was a handball and the goal that got called back also should have counted. The idea of VAR is great but the execution is hard to apologize for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 No doubt about it, he's our "NOW" & "FUTURE" at midfield. Addona, Corazon and Obinna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen the play in question, but there is a specific exception in the Law when a player uses his hand/arm to support himself while falling. Except for the above offences, it is not an offence if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm: directly from the player’s own head or body (including the foot) directly from the head or body (including the foot) of another player who is close if the hand/arm is close to the body and does not make the body unnaturally bigger when a player falls and the hand/arm is between the body and the ground to support the body, but not extended laterally or vertically away from the body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiedPilko Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Dominant performance. Interceptions everywhere, weirdly accurate strike for a CDM, great passing, and strong on defense. Won MOTM, obviously. No idea why Cruz Azul keeps casting him off. No matter, he should be at a better team soon enough.

Colliedor Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 He has a habit of showing up for these kind of games. Got motm against Benfica when he was with Chaves. Not the first time he scored against Porto as well. Good to see. Kadenge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Its a good thing we already have this guy locked in. With some more performances like this it isn't unrealistic to think Portugal might have given him a call. Kind of the anti-Ferreira.

LeoH037 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Hell of a game and MOTM performance by him... boy can play ball. Seriously, getting him to commit was a coup, he is re-finding the form that once had Barcelona interested in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I find it weird that there was a lot of mentions that’s “he’s our for sure starter” or “our now and future”.......who did you guys have in front of him? Piette lol? Of course he’s that guy. LeoH037, Corazon, Nate3322 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowcrash Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think he'll work great with David. Right now, with Lille, a lot of David's runs into space aren't being recognized and Eustacio will find him for sure. lamptern, Kadenge and Nate3322 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
