    Please let’s invest in Koput next to Obiala, Jurczyk’s time passed long ago.


    at least MVP Stefanik is not included.

    Yessss Koput-Obiała is my fave MB duo out of our full NT squad this year but like we all know that Lavarini’s first option will be Jurczyk 💔

    There is absolutely no need for Wenerska, Obiała and Szczygłowska to play in this friendly match.

    Obiała didn’t play in ages in NT it would be good for her to find some connection with setters before the NT since there is no way she won’t be our main MB

    While I like Roberta and Macris (honestly a very solid setter duo) what need to happen for Ze to try someone else? I really doubt any other setter will see a court in this NT season.

    Rahimova for example mentioned many times that she really didn't enjoy playing in small Italian villages and that the smell of dried feces was bothersome and traumatizing for her and she prefers cities like Istanbul.

    And after saying that Casalmagiore smelled like cow’s shit she came back there few seasons later lmao sorry it will never not be funny for me :lol:

    I really like Turkish OHs because every one of them in NT has some sort of defensive skill. Even Derya who is an offensive OH compared to OHs from other NTs doesn’t look like a bad receiver or defender at all. They really benefit from having a strong league in which serving pressure is veryyyyy high.

    I really loved watching Elif play today. I was never her biggest fan, while she always has been amazing when it comes to her dumps and blockI found her set location kinda poor and not accurate. Today she was kinda perfect - great distribution, location etc IMO.


    It was a great day for Turkish setters in general since Cansu played great too. She set perfect balls when it comes to location/height for Markova & Boskovic and had a good game. I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece because while it worked, Markova & Boskovic are like a cheat code for a setter lol and it’s not like the balls they got were on single or barely closed block (which can be achieved while playing moonballs like we’ve seen multiple times with Maja - not in today’s game though lol). Still a great performance from her when in comes to the quality of sets and what the team needed!

    Even though Grabka's game is boring to watch for me, she did good in the finals. She never found the conncetion with the middles but she is precise when setting to the left/right. This can't be said about Wenerska's performance who included the middles a lot but her location to zone 4 was problematic.

    Agree with that. I may criticise Grabka from time to time but she had solid finals. I would also argue that her connection with Planisec was actually lowkey amazing - she just didn’t play it a lot lol. But hey they won without middle attacks so good job I guess.



    Still mad that Łyczakowska our 54 sets to middles in one game queen was not called by Lavarini though! :lol:

    Also maybe off topic but the transfers rumours for next TL season are soooo disappointing. Every team that will compete in Champions League at the moment looks worse than this year (there are not many rumours about Opole but I highly doubt they will find another Guereca-Hellvig duo). Will I have to root for ŁKS because of granny Bidias? 😭

    (ok Antunović and Dambrink sound cool for current TL standards I guess)

    So I think that changing nothing in the OH lineup is a bad idea for Deve after failing to win any trophies (I don't count Superpucher because ŁKS was their opponent lol)

    Oh definitely. And if the rumours are true they are getting way worse OPPs. They were lucky they managed to get Sieradzka as a solid local backup this year because while Bannister didn’t really have that many poor performances due to the foreign limits she was always changed first whenever something was wrong in Developres game (like this game she had 40% attack plz) and no other Polish OPP in the league could do what Sieradzka did.

    I adore Heyrman, but to me she’s also worse blocker than Pierzchala.

    She definitely is lol. Despite her injury Pierzchała had the best block per set this year in the league (just like a year before). It’s such a shame that she is injured I would love to see how her block looks at the international level </3
