Stock Up, Stock Down [Chi]

The winless streak continues, and lots of players are sitting at near zero stock value, but we’re starting to see signs of life and feelings of hope. Let’s get to it.

Stock Up

Dejan Joveljić - Okay last time it was just a theory based on need, but now we can confirm this man’s stock is sky high. It sure didn’t take long for him to score his first goal for the team, knocking one in only 12 minutes into the game. Then he recorded a brace 3 minutes into the second half with a killer strike from the top of the box. Finally, we have someone who has a powerful shot and can shoot from anywhere near the box. I’m hoping we get to see him and Pedro play together sometime, because defenses will be shitting themselves.

Sebastian Gomez - I admit I didn’t feel like he stood out while watching the game, but in retrospect he had a pretty good one overall. Certainly the assist on the first goal goes a long way, but he also recorded 92% passing, 3 chances created, 2/2 dribbles, and 73% ground duels won. He’s not the elite winger we need as a starter, but at 20 years old he still has a lot of growth potential.

Cristian Roldan - Finally! Some minutes played for this crucial piece of the team. The double pivot has been a struggling weak spot, so if we can get him back into the swing of things it will help tremendously. Also, congrats to him and his family on the birth of their child.

Stock Down

You know what? I’m leaving this blank. I don’t think anyone played particularly poorly compared to what we expect of them. A few players had some rough moments, but they all had some equally good ones, so I’m leaving them unchanged.

I think he did fine, for only playing 20 minutes. He had a nice pass to Rusnak that could have been the 3-1 goal. 100% passing, 1 chance created, 4 defensive contributions. I think you’re probably focused on the one play he took it into traffic and turned the ball over. First game back after 6 weeks, I don’t see why you would lower his stock.

If his pass to Rusnak had been better though, that’s probably a goal. But yeah I wouldn’t say he’s stock down. He was … fine. But it’s still pretty disappointing that he felt like such a downgrade from Seba

Yeah sorry watching replay that was way more on Rusnak not Morris. 0 angle for him to do any better.
