GAM starting tomorrow, says Tesco shopper
Someone on TiFF met Eddie Johnson outside Tesco in Wimbledon Village. Eddie came across as a very nice person, and suggested that he is starting against Man Utd tomorrow. Take that with a pinch of salt, of course, but it would make sense.
Consider the following thought experiment: hypothetical player A might average 6/10 in three games, but do so by getting marked at 5/10, 9/10, 4/10. Player B might average 6/10 by getting 6/10, 7/10, 5/10. Is one better than the other? For the purposes of surviving a difficult situation, I think you’re almost bound to take the high risk high reward approach. So while you might be guaranteed a safer game from the reliable Nevland, Johnson is more likely to make life impossibly difficult for the United defence. Not likely, more likely.
All of which is based on scant evidence, but this is my working hypothesis for now.
A waffle about things.
(this is one of my naval gazing meditations on life and the role of football therein. Walk on by if this isn’t your bag!)
