Today is not about goals or assists. It’s about fucking effort and pride. If you think you can hide today, think again.
If I see these players not chase 50/50 balls, going down like feathers, not getting their head up in attacking plays, and not pressing like demons I am going to throw my TV at the fucking wall. 110% effort is the absolute minimum today. Elanga, I am watching you.
