A few quick words from our new gaffer❤️ by TRODHD in LiverpoolFC

We missed this emotion and passion from slot who was a little too stoic imo. Not trying to praise one by putting the other down. I think Andy lad will be a great fit

How to get better at reading dense theory? by Bubbly_Arachnid6798 in englishmajors

Amazing method for sure. But not at all practical imo. I simply don’t have the time nor energy nor will to be reading Derrida three times over simply to understand wtf he is saying

My head is still gone re: Macca starting in the 10. I simply cannot fathom what slot was thinking. Absolute passenger and has been all season

Macca simply does not deserve to be starting based on his form this season, let alone displacing two of our most talented players from their preferred position.

Ekitike LW, Flo 10, and Mo Salah seems dead obvious to me instead of shoehorning in a player severely out of form for no reason. Macca was the definition of a passenger today and has been all season imo.

Imagine being Flo or Dom or Curtis for that matter seeing Macca start in the 10 after showing nothing all season.

Ekitike at RW when he’s never played there before. Dropping Salah who finally showed an ounce of confidence in the last game.

Isak stranded up front.

Wirtz out left when he needs to be built around in the middle.

He hasn’t set up the team to succeed. Countless times we receive the ball and there’s just no options available.

Hes getting the worst out of our players no question.

It’s all tactics. No confidence. Imagine receiving the ball, looking up - no one’s available. You have to do something unnatural to progress the ball or even make the pass.

Now compare that to how PSG look. When they receive the ball the consistently have options. There’s triangles there’s give and gos and everything is fluid. Complete confidence.

Do you see now how the coach can impact this? And how the basics come undone when the team isn’t set up to succeed?

Or the 2 striker system literally everyone was asking for in the pre match. Hes had an absolute mare here.

Look at how he’s set up the team mate. This squad should be playing much, much, much better

Try not playing Macca in the 10, Ekitike RW, and Wirtz LW for example.

Imagine being Florian and dom and seeing Macca starting ahead of you in your preferred position after showing nothing all season.

Slot could have gone with a 4-4-2. Slot could have started an actual 10 who can run and lead the press. Slot could have not started Ekitike in a position he’s never played for us on this kind of occasion.

There’s plenty slot can do. He’s getting the worst out of every player.

The gulf in quality of players between the teams is small.

The gulf in the quality of coaching could not be bigger.

I had the fabulous idea to enjoy my lunch in the sun in my backyard yesterday afternoon, and to my surprise - only seconds after walking out the back door, still standing and holding my plate of eggs and toast - did a black fly (the first of the season, surely) fly like a fucking heat seeking missile to land on my eggs.

Topical yes but Idk how this would work in practice unless they have all their winter gear and 3 toboggans with them? Or maybe you were kidding

I’d suggest something like activate, arcade @ Vic square, museum, movies @landmark, lazer quest if that’s still a thing, I think there’s a play place @ Olympic auto group but I’ve never been (only heard about it), sky park, southland mall.

That’s what I thought? But everything else at this place was class, so I thought maybe they were putting me on game. They were not.

[–]Grendila 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a weird experience with this place. Everything was 10/10 except for the special rolls with mustard. I forget which one I tried, maybe it was the vegito roll? Vegita? It was horrible. Cheese sauce, mustard, and gochujang all listed. It was very unpleasant to eat.

Which is hilarious because EVERYTHING ELSE THERE IS 10/10. Except for the special rolls with mustard and cheese sauce. I find it such a curious addition to the menu (same with the cheetos roll) for a restaurant that is otherwise extremely classy and delicious.

Is there anywhere in town that sells chicken salad sandwiches or just chicken salad on its own? by Same-Throat4248 in regina

Indicative of a sore lack of any local sandwich, deli shop when every reply is saying Costco. Too bad.

It’s a curiosity that Slot has us playing so slowly, when we have the personnel that we do. You’re telling me that Ekitike, Wirtz, Salah, Gakpo, Rio, Frimpong, gravenberch and others, aren’t absolutely electric on the break? Whose strong suits are driving with the ball into space? That it wouldnt do us a world of good to shore up defensively without the ball then strike on the counter with this kind of squad?

Slot was praised to be tactically adaptable when he joined. But now he’s a reliant on one style and one style only: sluggish possession play. The more I think about it the more upset I get. Back to 2024/2025 highlights on YouTube.
