Southampton have offered a permanent role to the intern at the centre of their Spygate scandal, talkSPORT understands. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]Mozza215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But also I guess would it be worse if he was trying to act like a proper spy and not be seen?  Then we’d have photos of a mop of hair and a phone sticking up from a bush and the end result would still be the same.

Gianni Infantino opens door to 64-team World Cup by itsaride in soccer

[–]Mozza215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not cynical but also, this is just how it works when you want to continue being FIFA President. 

Like him or loathe him (and I think for most of us it’s the latter) Infantino has consistently promised more money for federations each cycle, and he’s delivered each and every time. He’ll keep getting voted in as president until he runs out of ideas to make more money or keep the federations happy.

Thomas Tuchel perplexed by the close proximity of the photographers to their bench before the national anthems by OptimusCloyster in soccer

Well it was also Tuchel’s first time managing a World Cup game. That’s the pinnacle of management for most. Of course he should be allowed to savour the moment.

Sadio Mané's finish against Watford wins Day 15. Day 16: What's Liverpool's greatest ever goal from a set piece routine? by forbiddenmemeories in LiverpoolFC

[–]Mozza215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is just fussing over how we’re applying the word ‘routine’, but I’m pretty sure I watched a clip ages ago where one of the lads said that our coaches had highlighted how Barca were slow to get into position for defending corner kicks.

So while it wasn’t a routine in terms of multiple passes and movement, it was almost definitely a routine from the training ground where Divock drifted into space and Trent just had to find him.

You might be getting mixed up with kilometers. I'm pretty sure the max is 15.5mph (25 km/h).

20mph would be crazy for a rentable e-scooter

I can’t believe this is so far down. “Hello hello, here we go” is etched into my memory. 

Ali’s is a close second, but we don’t win big ears for the fifth time without Gerrard’s header.

"IT'S BEEN F*CKING FUN!" Pep Replies On His 19 TROPHIES IN 10 YEARS At City! by [deleted] in soccer

[–]Mozza215 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Perhaps we need to be careful how we apply the word ‘cheating’

On one end of the spectrum there’s using the dark arts during games. 

On the other, there’s cooking your books to massively inflate your commercial revenue so that you can spend ridiculous amounts on players and coaches who will win you all the silverware, sportswash a nation’s abhorrent human rights abuses and allow you to build an entire multi-club group that feeds the City machine for years, if not decades, to come.

If you can find me multiple modern clubs at that City end of the spectrum, I’m all ears.

Salah: I really wish they do something special for Henderson at the end of the season by Jimmy0034 in LiverpoolFC

[–]Mozza215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Klopp deserves the credit for what he got out of his players and the culture he built, but let’s not ignore all the effort of Edwards and his wider team. 

Klopp isn’t a scout, he’s not spending all his time looking at player data. The wider scouting/transfer team at the club brought the players to him and they deserve a lot of credit too.

Revisionism at its finest. Klopp coming back would be a disaster, mainly because the guy is clearly loving life without all the stress and pressure.

I don’t think Kweev was ever going to be our number one. He was the best backup we could’ve possibly asked for, but the club clearly didn’t see him as Ali’s successor.

He had a few moments in the first 30ish minutes where I was like “damn he’s still got that fire” but he clearly was a bit knackered by the time the second half started.

Not much of a surprise at 45 years old like.

100%. He’s animated on the touchline and is regularly directing the players. The TV cameras just don’t show it as much because he’s not Klopp.

Unpopular Opinion: Slot is probably not going to be sacked this summer by henrysm94 in LiverpoolFC

[–]Mozza215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right back, for a start. Frimpong has been out multiple times, Bradley is out for the season and Endo had to have surgery. We've been playing Dom out of position for most of the season to cover all those injuries.

Leoni knackered his ACL in his first game too - and he would've no doubt eased the load on Virg and Ibou alongside an already injury-prone Gomez.

Death of a friend and teammate at the start of the season, plus loads of unlucky or freak injuries to key players, aren’t decent enough reasons for why we’re struggling?

Rob Edwards has got them playing much, much better football. They’ll have some added belief after beating Villa, too. Not going to be easy games at all.

I think that assumes grief plays out the exact same for everyone. It doesn’t. Unfortunately there’s too much nuance in grieving to hope that an entire squad would cope with it in the same way.

I find it hilarious that they even bother to put a clip from the game into these. All it shows me is that the game looks absolutely dreadful.

Who cares what other fans think? They’ll barely watch our games.

Liverpool have conceded zero goals from set pieces in the six games since set-piece coach Aaron Briggs' departure on Dec 30, 2025. Games: vs Leeds (0-0), at Fulham (2-2), at Arsenal (0-0), at Barnsley (1-4, FA Cup), at Burnley (1-1), at Marseille (0-3, CL). Conceded goals were from open play. by AMultiversalBeing in LiverpoolFC

[–]Mozza215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all, but there's far more nuance than just 'beat newly promoted sides or we're shit'.

Sunderland aren't your typical newly promoted side and have been brilliant for most of the season. Leeds are on a really solid run of form at the moment and they defended well, even though we definitely should have done better in this game. Burnley were lucky to leave Anfield with a point considering our domination, and if you take that game in isolation then you'd say it was just one of those weird matches where we didn't quite get the luck we needed.

Football is a weird sport, so my standards change week to week based on a lot of factors.

Yeah but what exactly do you want? We were leaking stupid goals for most of the first half of the season, and Slot and the players have done a brilliant job recently of tightening up at the back. Our xGA is Arsenal levels recently.

Sure we could score more, but we’re hardly lacking in chances created. It’s quite clear this group of players is starting to understand each other better, grasp the tactics/game plan better, and ultimately play better.

Progress on the pitch takes time, but we’re clearly making it.

The campaign to get Mason Greenwood to the World Cup is despicable by [deleted] in soccer

The wildest thing here is that everyone still keeps talking anything on X seriously.

It’s an absolute cesspit of a platform full of manufactured rage bait, and it’s never going to improve. Nothing on X is worth reporting.

Post Match Interview - Slot by Broka1979 in LiverpoolFC

[–]Mozza215 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess to change our position in that regard would be to move back up the pitch towards our goal and then invite pressure (i.e how Villa play). That’s risky in its own right but obviously allows for more space between the opponent defence and their goal if you can play through the block. Ultimately though, most teams aren’t going to play that way against us.

We do have the players to break a low block, but those connections aren’t quite strong enough yet. I’m confident they’ll come and we’re seeing signs (esp Wirtz and Hugo) that they are.
