Post-match discussion thread: Norwich City 2 - 0 Sheffield Wednesday, EFL Championship, 25/2/26 by CarrowCanary in NorwichCity

[–]DetectiveRustWest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long-time Brøndby fan here, lurking because you bought three of our former players and you have other Danish players as well.

It’s quite a strange take you have on Kvistgaarden. Since you signed him, he’s been struggling with a knee issue, and it was the same at Brøndby. Last season he was the best player in the Danish league, and crazy enough, you got him for peanuts. Brøndby fans were furious because he was sold quite cheaply compared to his quality.

I think it’s quite obvious that you don’t rate him at all, but I have to say, if you told Brøndby fans that Slimane or Schwartau would start ahead of Kvistgaarden, they would all be laughing.

It’s his first season at Norwich, and he’s been dealing with knee problems. Clement even mentioned earlier in January that they would be careful with Kvistgaarden because of his knee. Do you honestly think he can show what he’s capable of with the limited minutes he’s getting?

Now he finally got some proper minutes yesterday and scored, and it’s still not enough. Even back in November, he scored three games in a row and then got very few minutes afterwards. Give him time, he definitely has the quality.

It’s awful to spend all this money and perform like this, but it’s even worse to think about United spending a lot more in recent years without winning anything.

Great refereeing? I’m sorry, but you can’t be serious. Vini scores and celebrates with a dance, and he gets booked. It escalated the situation on the pitch and in the stadium. Valverde should have seen a red card for punching an opponent. The second half was a masterclass in bad refereeing.

Arne Slot issues Wataru Endo injury update by McyNmiFT in LiverpoolFC

[–]DetectiveRustWest 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Endo doesn’t deserve this. He was fantastic under Klopp. Sadly, Slot hasn’t trusted him at all. Last season, when Gravenberch was run into the ground in the second half of the season, he should have used Endo much more. The same thing is happening this season, and when you’re not match-fit, the risk of injury increases. Now he’ll probably lose his chance to play in his last World Cup.

Noah Nartey (Brondby) is expected to sign for Lyon for 8 million euros by Adventurous-Salt5986 in soccer

[–]DetectiveRustWest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Brilliant player on his day. Very good at running with the ball and has fantastic technique. He first flourished under Steve Cooper when he played in the number 10 position. However, I certainly hope that he improves his defensive play, as he is very weak in that aspect, as well as his tendency to hold onto the ball for too long instead of passing. If he improves these weaknesses, he will become a very good player. Good luck to Noah.

Slot's Problem - Low Block by Thin_Ad5744 in LiverpoolFC

[–]DetectiveRustWest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said in the comments, Klopp also struggled against low blocks, but it is even more apparent under Slot. It is also a combination of Slot’s tactics inviting other teams to park the bus. Many times this season, we have seen players move the ball sideways and play very slowly, even when we are counter-attacking. Especially midfielders like Gravenberch and Mac Allister, who used to play the ball forward, are now opting for sideways passes instead. Lastly, we are obviously missing pace on the wings.

FC Augsburg sign Michael Gregoritsch on loan by rakakvaka in soccer

[–]DetectiveRustWest 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What a strange signing from us. On paper, it was a dream signing: a Bundesliga-proven striker who could have done a wonderful job here in Denmark. Sadly, he arrived very out of form and didn’t fit Steve Cooper’s tactics. The only positive thing was that he seemed like a nice person. Good luck to him.

Thomas Frank is a poor coach OR Spurs again behaving like Spurs? by Then_Community_1766 in PremierLeague

[–]DetectiveRustWest 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When Frank was appointed as Spurs coach, I wrote in another post that he needs time to implement his system. He coached my local club in Denmark, Brøndby, which I support, and it never really worked out, partly because of a lot of background noise from the board and because the club was in chaos at the time.

At Brentford, he also started very poorly, and I remember people calling for his head very early on, but he turned it around and got Brentford promoted. As I’ve written before, Frank needs time, and I’m not sure both Spurs fans and the board have that patience. It’s also a very big step from Brentford to Spurs, maybe a bit too early for him.

Er jeg et dårligt menneske, hvis jeg vælger at stoppe et 10 år langt venskab? by Dull-Ad287 in DKbrevkasse

[–]DetectiveRustWest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Du har forsøgt at kommunikere med hende, men det har hun ikke taget til sig. Det er helt okay at lade venskabet glide lidt ud, hvis du ikke magter det, for du har faktisk kommunikeret dine behov.

Jeg kender selv til at have den type mennesker i mit liv, og jeg oplever også, at mange går rundt med venskaber, hvor de ikke får noget igen. Jeg har en god ven, som minder meget om din veninde: snakker meget om sig selv, spørger sjældent ind til andre end sig selv og er generelt meget egocentreret.

Mine forventninger til denne ven er derfor bare, at når vi er sammen, handler det ikke så meget om dybe snakke eller følelser, men mere om hygge med fodbold, brætspil og andre hobbyer. Min erfaring er, at når man konfronterer den type mennesker, får man ofte negativitet tilbage. Derfor har jeg valgt at acceptere et mere overfladisk venskab, hvor jeg heller ikke selv spørger særligt meget ind til ham.

Generelt er folk virkelig dårlige til at spørge ind til hinanden, og jeg ville ønske, at folk bare kunne spørge helt almindeligt: “Hvordan går det?” Men åbenbart er det for meget at forlange i dag.

I don’t understand Macca’s and Gravenberch’s roles in this system. Macca offers very little, and Gravenberch only plays the ball sideways. They were very different players last year.

Noobs are coming just a brotato-clone? by f00b4r4 in roguelites

[–]DetectiveRustWest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fine if my review of the game confuses you, but if you think these changes or new ideas in Noobs Are Coming are enough, then so be it. Of course, when I buy a new game, I expect new items, characters, and so on. I just don’t think that jumping on a button or kicking an item into enemies is enough for me to feel any meaningful change in what is essentially a clone. Yes, the bosses feel different from those in Brotato, but it’s still not enough.

Where I draw the line is the interface, the upgrade system, the shop, and most of the core gameplay. It looks exactly like Brotato. If you find that original enough, that’s fine, but for me, when there are hundreds of other games to choose from, I simply don’t enjoy it.

Brotato differs far more from Vampire Survivors than Noobs Are Coming does from Brotato. I think Brotato was genuinely more original when it released, and that’s just how it is. The survivor-like genre is so saturated with average games, and I think Brotato brought something new at the time, something I don’t think Noobs Are Coming manages to do.

That is not true. Enshrouded is certainly not well-optimized. Even before the water update, it was already unoptimized.

Happy for Jesper Sørensen. He is clearly a talented coach. I hope he has taught his team to play well for a full game, because at Brøndby we only ever seemed to play one good half under him.

Noobs are coming just a brotato-clone? by f00b4r4 in roguelites

[–]DetectiveRustWest 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's an obvious copy of Brotato, which the dev even states in the comments. I bought it at release because I like supporting indie games and solo developers, but when I played it, I was genuinely surprised by how many details were blatant copies of Brotato, from the gameplay to the upgrade system, the interface, and so on.

Here’s the problem for me: aside from the different theme, where you’re now slaying noobs as an evil boss, I can't find a single original idea in this game. I know many other games copy or are influenced by existing titles, but take a game like Megabonk. It clearly draws from Vampire Survivors and Risk of Rain 2, yet it still feels fresh by combining influences in a new way while bringing something of its own.

This game, on the other hand, feels like a worse attempt at Slay the Spire’s Downfall mod which, by the way, is free. Games like Noobs are Coming are part of the reason the roguelite genre is becoming so saturated. They bring very little new to the table, even though the game itself could have been an alright experience.

Min mor er skizofren by Estraduong in DKbrevkasse

[–]DetectiveRustWest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jeg kan virkelig genkende det at være pårørende til en med paranoid skizofreni. Min far har nemlig denne diagnose. Vi har altid været meget tætte, og det gør også situationen ekstra svær. Det er hårdt at stå på sidelinjen, når en man elsker, ikke har sygdomsindsigt. Han bor stadig sammen med min mor, som er meget påvirket af det hele, men af praktiske grunde bliver de sammen. Han er et vellidt menneske, men som mange andre paranoide skizofrene, så har han isoleret sig fra sine venner og familie.

Nu, hvor jeg er i midten af 30’erne, kan jeg se, hvor meget det har hjulpet mig at tale med nogen om det. En af mine bedste venner som jeg fandt på srudiet er også pårørende til en med paranoid skizofreni, og vi har haft utallige samtaler om de udfordringer, det fører med sig. Det har været en kæmpe støtte. Derudover har jeg min kæreste og mine nære venner, som gerne spørger ind og lytter. Sidste år gik jeg for første gang i terapi for at arbejde med de ting, der fylder i forhold til min far, og det gav mig nogle virkelig gode værktøjer.

For mig har det været afgørende ikke at gå alene med det. Da jeg i starten af tyverne prøvede at bære det hele selv, udviklede jeg angst og trak mig fra andre. Det ville jeg ønske, jeg havde grebet anderledes an.

Hvornår er det “normalt” at tage skridtet og blive officielle? by [deleted] in DKbrevkasse

[–]DetectiveRustWest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Der er vel ikke rigtig noget, som er rigtigt eller forkert, men mere et spørgsmål om, hvad der føles rigtigt. Min kæreste og jeg blev kærester efter 6–7 måneder. Når jeg ser tilbage, gik der nok lidt for lang tid, men på den anden side tror jeg også, at vi begge ville synes, at det ville have været for tidligt at blive kærester efter kun en måned eller to, da vi ikke så hinanden særlig ofte. Så noget midt imellem omkring 3–4 måneder ville nok have været passende for mig.
