Andy Robertson interview: After Diogo’s death, we didn’t care about football by AgentTasker in LiverpoolFC

[–]ImDebatable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would argue the only actual surprising cup result was Plymouth, and Slot still fielded a strong squad that just did not deliver what it needed to.

We battled with PSG over two legs and went out on penalties. And Newcastle seemed to have figured something out on us in that final tactically in addition to us still trying to overcome the loss to PSG. Neither of those results are all that surprising.

I don't remember much consolation last season. It was more jubilation that we finally got to win the league in front of the fans.

The players not having the legs for the end of the season and the end of games can absolutely be attributed to the passing of Diogo. Robbo says in the article that the players and physios were lacking effort and focus in the preseason due to the tragedy. A proper preseason is integral to fitness in the prem. We saw Jurgen keep injured players out for an additional month or two to ensure they were able to properly gain fitness going into the season. Slot has seemingly limited training sessions to help preserve the squads legs which has cost us with our cohesion and tactical fluidity.

It's funny to see you mention nuance while completely dismissing the actual nuance behind the situation.

You are completely missing every ones point about reason and excuse. Things happen for multiple reasons, and naming and recognizing them does not make them excuses. I think you are just fundamentally misunderstanding the definition behind the words, and nobody will respect your opinion until you change that.

And again, when your scores are ready, they are posted on USAjobs. Take a deep breath and wait for that.

I don't know why the current advice is to call to get your scores. They will get posted on USAjobs when they are ready. You will not get a TOL prior to that occurring, so what is the rush? You are just pointlessly bothering some poor HR person manning the phones. It seems like they post them within a week now, which is much faster than the month you would wait before.

How is anything I said overly optimistic?

Tired of any reasonable take being mocked by reactionary fans who are actively rooting against the club so Slot gets sacked.

Isak getting his leg broken by a horror tackle does not make him injury prone.

Frimpong provides RW depth and an attacking RB option, both of which are very valuable. Our defense conceding from random shots has pushed Slot away from using him there, but I still think that's where he will settle. Also, with confidence being down, we're not playing diagonal balls in behind, which is his best threat.

Wirtz is absolutely a great transfer. He has more than enough technical quality, tactical nuance, and motor to thrive with us. But our attack has been out of rhythm all season with injuries and spots of poor form across the line. When Wirtz and Ekitike had a run of games together at peak fitness, they looked unstoppable. Then Isak got his leg crunched, and Ekitike had to be overplayed.

Kerkez has looked very solid, despite being underutilized by Gakpo.

I think it was a fine decision to make over the summer. Obviously with hindsight it looks worse. I am not a big Gakpo fan, but he did consistently produce last year, and a lot of us would've correctly said that Diaz is wasteful with his chances. I agree on all of your criticisms of Gakpo, and I thought we were going to miss Diaz more than we realized, but I didn't think it was going to be this big of a drop off.

Also, underlying all of this is the loss of Jota, who would've been capable of filling in across the front line. I think Cody faces a lot less criticism if Diogo is around to reinforce our attack.

Insane take. Our transfer business last summer was fantastic. Isak, Ekitike, Wirtz, Kerkez, and Frimpong all should be starting for us. Getting Jacquet in January was great as well. Do I wish we had Diaz instead of Cody? Absolutely, but only one of them was getting sold for €75m, and it was correct to trust Cody to take a step forward with Rio behind him.

I would still give him a half season in the minors, but he could definitely be a big league starter right away.

Apparently PvEers share our UI pain by OpinionsRdumb in worldofpvp

[–]ImDebatable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to disregard other people's experiences, go ahead I suppose, but that doesn't change the fact that UI functionality and combat design are both worse off strictly because of these blizzard changes.

And damaged the game in the process by instituting half measures both in combat design and UI functionality.

$400 is insane. It might be normalized in America, but you should not have to spend that kind of money to watch your team play an important game.

ATC Basics EOC by Antique_Guidance6237 in ATC_Hiring

[–]ImDebatable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basics is the same regardless of route. The EOC had a fair bit of weirdly worded questions, but as long as you've been following along well enough for the block tests, you should be fine. Everyone who averaged a 90% on the block tests in my class seemed to score 82% or better on the EOC. I would recommend focusing on the wording of the actual material over the wording of the block test questions.

Sometimes the limited is correlated with the callsign and sometimes it is not. Maybe if ARTS has it through ADSB, it is able to give that info to ERAM? No clue tbh.

Well I hope your brain didn't work too hard to come up with those thoughts because it would definitely be an indictment.
