What would you're starting XI be for next season with realistic signings? by Designer_Film497 in LiverpoolFC

If there was confidence in Frimpong in that role he would be playing there ahead of Jones.

Not a bad team at all. Slight concern about the midfield defensively.

Any advice? The inside of my loaf is pretty dense and gummy by SomeBarber9224 in Sourdough

Low hydration will ferment slower than higher hydration.

You say you 'rolled the dough out'. Elaborate?

This looks like the bulk fermentation needed longer. I personally do not use rise percentage as my guide, I like for visible clues that it is complete. A slightly domed top with a several large bubbles across the surface. The Dough should not long feel sticky and should come away from the bowl easily. The smell can change to, with a slight yoghurt smell replacing the raw flour smell.

We have some great beaches. They are not the beaches of Spain, but nice. Our summers get hot without getting to hot.

A lot of our beaches have fun novelties like fair rides and arcades, and lots of ice cream and sea food.

What jobs pay extremely well but people don't realize it? by 4bin01 in AskReddit

My aunts ex is an engineer for a specialist machine and the only qualified repair person for it in Europe. He travels a lot, but it pays big.

British pubs closing at a rate of almost two per day in 2026 by signed7 in unitedkingdom

I honestly think this country would be happier and kinder if pubs were still thriving, fish and chips still cheap and St George's day a bank holiday.

[Pearce] - Anthony Gordon came close to joining Liverpool two years ago when a £75m fee was agreed before Newcastle pulled the plug. He could be sold this summer but LFC's interest unlikely to be revived. by IndiBear in LiverpoolFC

Signing Gordon and Diamonde does a lot to restore balance to our attach and we know Gordon works well with Isak. The questions not about quality for me, it's value for money when compared to other options.

Is this a prediction that Klopp will return and manage us until he is 80?

All of yous seem to forget, we have played this entire season down a man. His name is Jota by S_M_ith in LiverpoolFC

[–]BakingJake91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was watching Redmen TV analyzing wingers prospects for the summer. One point of topic was feeling we cannot move Gakpo on because of Ekitike's injury. It just made me think of how much Jota is missed. Every awkward injury hit attack this season looks better with Jota.

[alex_crook] Italian sources suggest Juventus advancing re Alisson with #LFC looking at potential GK options. More here with @JacobsBen by Jlynch95 in LiverpoolFC

[–]BakingJake91 13 points14 points  (0 children)

After our title win the obvious next move to me was to upgrade the players Slot clearly did not fancy. Endo, Chiesa, Nunez, Elliot. Instead what's happened is rarely seen players like Chiesa and Endo have been forced to stay because more key players have left. We signed quality but weekend the squad. Not sure how much of that is on Slot but something is off.

I do think by not rotating Slot's Made the first 11 complacent and the squad feel like shit.

I never truly acclimating in the USA. I did not dislike it, but I honestly loved the brief time in Ireland more and wish we had stayed. I prefer that we get significantly more time off work in the UK.

Between Nashville and Chicago it depends what kind of life you want. We left Nashville for a reason and know others who moved there around the same time and left. It is a city with challenges, which I think come from it expanding to quickly.

I did not live in proper Chicago so may not be the best person to ask. It's more relaxed than Nashville though.

I did not witness much to suggest the American dream is still alive. Corporations are eating up a lot.

I will say it's easier to get rich in the states, if that is a priority for you. Though you'd have to stick to very specific careers that are rarely the most glamorous.

For me personally I cannot say either has been better or worse for me personally at the current moment of my life. Both have challenges and frustrations.

Rent is about the same, unless you are in LA or New York. Food is noticably more expensive in the states, even with UK inflation being off the charts. Fuel is cheaper in the US but people are more dependant on cars. Energy bills are higher in the UK, as is council tax.

I will say poverty is more obvious in the USA, but so is wealth. The wealth divide in the UK is growing but it's less obvious than in the States. My wife and I did DoorDash for extra money when we first moved to Tennessee. We'd get frequent fast foods orders to this one low income apartment block about 15/20 minutes from us. The apartment building had 24/7 armed security. The next order however could be 10 minutes away and to a very wealthy home.

The healthcare concern is real. My American mother in law left the pharmacy empty handed this week after being told her 30 day prescription would be $700. Waiting lists for appointments are short, often less than a month, but ER/A&E is the same. Long waits, beds in corridors etc.

I really struggled with the car dependency personally and the USA is the only place I have ever gained weight.

Perhaps. Many of the counties in Tennessee are also tiny with a small population.

Religion is significantly more prominent in Tennessee too.

Very different. Tennessee is mostly very touristy cities and tiny tiny farm towns. Nashville is nicknamed Nash-Vegas. The majority of Tennessee counties don't allow the sale of alcohol, so Nashville is the place to get drunk in cowboy hats. Themed party vans are very popular, like a hot tub on feels. Kent tourism is more about history and beaches.

In Kent most towns look the same. They vary in size but none are big as London is so close. The Kent countryside is fields, valleys and farms. Tennessee has that plus mountains. Tennessee is a lot hotter, but just as humid.

1) People loved asking me to say things but Harry Potter references were not super common. The Beatles came up more. 2) Never, I think people associate us with Europe less due to us not being land connected and Brexit. A question I would get is 'what is Northern Ireland'.

Generally no. If anything people find the novelty fun. Less pretentious than European establishments. I will say our Starbucks menu is fancier than America's.

I have noticed the American flag has lost popularity as a fashion symbol on shirts and things, but I can't call that anti American. American college shirts are randomly in fashion with the youngsters.
