"This guy is correct. TAA for all the stick he's getting for matching up with Mitoma has still done enough to make it difficult for him to score but Milner makes life for Mitoma so much easier. He was invisible leading up to that outside-of-the-boot cross that nearly got a goal. The Liverpool press has collapsed after Henderson & Milner came on. System was very compact until then. Theyre often half a second late to everything & it affects the teams whole defensive structure. They simply dont have the minimum athleticism required to play at this level.

"@yakyucosmo Well since UZR is relative he may be the worst LF. In recent years we have seen former center fielders like Maru Ohshima move to left field so even if hes serviceable his UZR can appear bad. Im not knowledgeable enough to analyse why his DRS turns out better"

"This guy is correct. TAA for all the stick he's getting for matching up with Mitoma has still done enough to make it difficult for him to score but Milner makes life for Mitoma so much easier. He was invisible leading up to that outside-of-the-boot cross that nearly got a goal. The Liverpool press has collapsed after Henderson & Milner came on. System was very compact until then. Theyre often half a second late to everything & it affects the teams whole defensive structure. They simply dont have the minimum athleticism required to play at this level. The Liverpool press has collapsed after"

"Just a reminder that Shohei Ohtani leads the Angels in HR RBI BB hits SB SLG and OPS. He is 2nd in AVG and OBP. He also leads in W and K and is the only qualified pitcher for ERA. Anyone who speaks against the unicorn should have their human rights removed in perpetuity"
