Goodison Glory Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Quote from article: "Using smarterscout, which gives players a series of ratings from zero to 99 relative to either how often a player performs a given stylistic action or how effective they are at it compared with others playing in their position, we can obtain a general overview of Broja’s natural attributes. The pizza chart, powered by smarterscout data, highlights Broja’s directness with the ball. Such verticality appealed to Ralph Hasenhuttl, whose core principles are centred on getting the ball from A to B — Broja excels in ball carrying and dribbling volume (84/99), which made him an attractive proposition. Broja’s bustling style is conducive to generating speed over short distances" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 I had a long chat with a Saints ST holder about Broja and he was full of praise (generally). He said there were rumours of a fall out between him and Hassenhutl regarding the style of play (being very defensive) which Ings had also spoken about after his move to Villa. That is why there was no chance of them re-signing him this season. I would take it all with a pinch of salt and even if true, it would raise questions of his character but he was a player that looked to have it all going for him at one stage.

Living the dream Mike, Knightsbridge when I had my dry lining company we use to do a lot of work for a shop fitting company in the early 20s, did a major refit to Hamleys and a Monsoon store, stayed in a 4 bed apartment rented by the main contractor in Sloan square, had some great nights out. Actually it may have been in the 90s memory isn’t what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwlad Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Started off my working life in the suburbs and LONDON was the place to socialise. After buying a house went out to Middlesex and Surrey. Still visited the capital frequently. Decamped to Devon then back to the home counties but now London holds little appeal despite my easy train journey there. If it wasn't for kids I would happily live in the north west - especially Liverpool, our preferred destination for a weekend away.

This was me, back around then I guess Anarchy in the UK came round a bit too late for you, Mike? The reaction against the prog rockers - Pink Floyd, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, King Crimson etc - was in full swing by the time this picture was taken. Weirdly, I am quite fond of prog rock now - and rarely listen to any punk / new wave / new romantic stuff that superseded it. Maybe my taste just grew up! My dad worked on Carnaby Street in the swinging sixties (transferred to London from his Liverpool office) and managed not to be influenced any of the music (film, fashion) of the era - Beatles / Stones / Kinks - even though it was on his doorstep. He still loved Mario Lanza and Tony Bennett. I guess we're all a product of the era we were brought up in. I lived on Portobello Road / Ladbroke Grove in the mid-nineties, at the height of Britpop - put up in a flat by the record label.

Bands (artists) for me back then were the likes of Dr Feelgood, Neil Young, Wishbone Ash, Spirit and Mott the Hoople, even early Elton John. Interesting to read about your dad; mine was working for EMI in the Beatles years but he was always a Sinatra/Bassey fan...he was actually one of the EMI execs who supported the name change because "they'd never get anywhere called the Beatles". Story he always told was that EMI were so "meeting" heavy among the top guys that he suggested at one meeting they should employ a whole new staff to attend them while the rest of them got on with the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
