Sam Surridge

Nashville and Miami played out a 2-2 draw in MLS on Saturday night and Lionel Messi got on the score sheet in the 62nd minute.

His side ultimately couldn't hold on, with Sam Surridge equalising deep in added time for Nashville, and today, the main event.

Manchester City travel to Old Trafford for the Manchester derby, which CBS Sports Notes will be the first without Pep Guardiola in the dugout for a decade.

Enzo Maresca brings a City side with a perfect league record.

May-

And correct me if I'm wrong, but Sam Surridge has missed-

Oh, a huge amount of the season

...

I was gonna say, so it's like they maybe arguably the second or third best player they haven't even had, right? You know, how many times do we say in this league it's about what you get out of your DPs, and they have not been able to get stuff out of the DPs, and they still dominate.

It, it makes it all the more impressive.

Well, I mean, Sam Surridge has been in and out.

He hasn't missed every game.

There were a couple of sequences where it just looked like the final ball wasn't quite there for them.

Either, you know, New York City had set its defense up to really close those ideal lanes down or the wide crosses, you know, flicked the different part of Sam Surridge's forehead that rather than the p- the fleshier part that would send it into the goal, they sent it to the bonier part that sends it beyond the far post.

That was, like, the assist of the game sponsored by whoever was this looping cross that was headed way wide of goal.

Um, very funny.

He just didn't quite get there in time.

But you are Sam Surridge.

You are in the golden boot race.

I mean, you're point blank range from the goal.

Nashville has just been on fire.

They have Sam Surridge, Ani Mokhtar.

They have Saad.

They have Christian Espinosa.

But how do you think he's going to do at Atlanta? I'm relatively confident seeing him popping up 60s, mid-60s quite a lot.

He could be like a Sam Surridge, that type of...

He's one of those players, I remember, every time I watch him, he'll get you lots of big chances missed he'll lose the ball he might score your goal it's kind of similar to what better than barry are in a way they're going to get you however many decisives they get it will be their score i don't want to get a huge amount of aa on top um but then maybe you know he spent most of his time at you know much bigger leagues than the mls no disrespect so maybe you'll go to atlanta and absolutely rock it over there you never know but um I think if we're just talking pure price, there's not much you can go wrong.

I mean, you can pick up a classic for 50p right now, which seems insane.

Maybe he will now he's in the lesser league.

So it's a risk, I think, at that price at Fiverr.

Whenever I see a good striker go over there, I always just think Sam Surridge scores well over here.

So why can't you? I'm going to go for a pass, though, because he's a dick.

He can really help.

Um, he can, he has really helped, um, So, Hani Mokhtar, you know, former MVP of this league, and Sam Surridge, who is a gold machine, he can facilitate both of them in the ways that they want to be facilitated, and most importantly... is they have Andy Nahar, who is the best right back and best attacking right back in this league, and he has really joined as the way that he can get up the field and influence play from wide areas, and how that chemistry just works, and how they really have this unlocking... where from line to line, they can decide what they're going to do on any given possession.

If the defense wants to push up, like if you give them a bit of...

If you don't want to press them, their defense is very comfortable with the ball at their feet and pushing up, and that changes the shapes, right? If your midfield is man-marking, maybe they're holding midfielders, okay, they can stack more midfielders inside.
