PiedPilko 466 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, Obinna, Ruffian and 6 others 9 Link to post Share on other sites
PiedPilko 466 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Scored today in a 1-1 draw... very well-placed shot. Strait Red, Club Linesman, johnyb and 12 others 15 Link to post Share on other sites

Colliedor 471 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.

Snowcrash 615 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. costarg, Corazon, lamptern and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

JuicyHam 463 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 post Share on other sites
Ansem 8,653 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 No doubt about it, he's our "NOW" & "FUTURE" at midfield. Corazon, Addona and Obinna 3 Link to post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites
PiedPilko 466 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 471 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 post Share on other sites
Stryker911 1,770 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 1,286 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 post Share on other sites

Shway 3,209 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. Corazon, LeoH037, Nate3322 and 1 other 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Snowcrash 615 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. Kadenge, Nate3322 and lamptern 3 Link to post Share on other sites
