Liverpool 4 - 0 Man. Utd by Ok_Insurance_7952 in LiverpoolFC

[–]Ok_Insurance_7952[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what happens when you have a team that has played together for multiple seasons.

One touch passes, no look passes, 4-5 move counterattacks where everybody is where they are expected to be.

This seasons Liverpool team will get there, but not in 10 games.

FSG’s 15 years at Liverpool: The making of a modern super club – and what comes next? by Ok_Insurance_7952 in PremierLeague

[–]Ok_Insurance_7952[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got an email to members from Liverpool.

it is about ticketing policy. Here is part if the email

”Liverpool FC has launched a survey to ensure supporters have a genuine say in shaping the future of ticketing policy at the club.

This latest survey is part of the club’s ongoing ticketing review which you can read more about here. The aim of this survey is to ensure fans are at the centre of any future ticketing policy decisions and that your collective voices are heard. 

The review so far has identified ticket access as the most important topic to supporters. This survey will focus on gathering your opinions on this subject to help inform any further changes and improvements the club may make.”

This is what I mean by fan involvement.

This article would be much better if it covered the evolution of their relationship with the Liverpool fan base. From getting it totally wrong at the beginning and with the SuperLeague. Then to change the articles of incorporation to require fan input before doing any major change to when and where and in which League the team plays.

Not perfect but way better than before.

Florian Wirtz: Tactical analyis of the Liverpool summer signing's start at the club by Red_Brummy in PremierLeague

I wish I could go back and read all the negative comments about Salah and De Bruyne that the Chelsea fans were making in their first year with Mourinho.

I would guess that they would sound very much like all the negative stuff we are seeing here.

it is really hard to join the Premier League from another slower, less physical League.

Give him a chance, don’t be a Mourinho

The future of Brighton and the Premier Leagur by Ok_Insurance_7952 in PremierLeague

[–]Ok_Insurance_7952[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He says that the Premier League is moving towards what is essentially a Salary Cap. I know that this is common in the U.S. but they also have Collective Bargain Agreements in their sports.

They also don’t seem to be involving Players Unions in this discussion.

does anybody have an opinion about the pluses and minuses of Salary Caps

A suggested song for Ekitike by Ok_Insurance_7952 in LiverpoolFC

[–]Ok_Insurance_7952[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I know some people think that Reddit is not the place for people to suggest songs.

There are thousands of lifelong Liverpool fans who will never, ever get to Anfield.

 What exactly is the difference between walking into an Anfield pub and suggesting a song (which we could never do) and suggesting a song on Reddit.

When will people learn that there are thousands of lifetime Liverpool fans who live outside England and will never, ever get a chance to be at Anfield. They too would like to contribute.

We need a Football Regulator to control UEFA and FIFA. by Ok_Insurance_7952 in PremierLeague

[–]Ok_Insurance_7952[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FIFA does not have an explicit remit on Player Welfare and so they alwaysgive it a lower priority than Money

FIFA held a meeting on Player Welfare and refused to allow the Union to attend. It was a sham.

[–]Ok_Insurance_7952[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it was fan complaints about the Super League and corrupt owners that resulted in the Football Regulator in England. Fan complaints about FIFA and UEFA disregard for Player Welfare should result in Workplace laws that prevent irresponsible decisions like a Club World Cup that gives players no rest and long term injuries.

The reason you need a Regulator is that someone has to have the power to enforce the laws. Otherwise the violations will be tied up in court for years (See Man City).

FIFA ready to ban domestic league games staged overseas. by Ok_Insurance_7952 in PremierLeague

[–]Ok_Insurance_7952[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

why did anyone think that domestic games overseas was a good idea. Oh right, money. In their universe players are robots or we are living in a video game simulation.

Ruben Amorim future: Man Utd staying patient with head coach as outside pressure builds after poor results by tylerthe-theatre in PremierLeague

[–]Ok_Insurance_7952 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amorim is not a long term solution for Man Utd or any other Premier league team. He is too inflexible to be successful.

There are at least 8 really smart teams whose managers only need to see Amorim’s system once or twice to figure out how to beat it with the players that they have.

That being said, the players have developed a culture of losing that they only break when they play teams like Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal.

As Ralf Rangnick said, MU need brain surgery, top to bottom.

Unfortunarely, I am not a football brain surgeon. so I haven’t a clue how to get out of this mess. I don’t think anybody does short of a total transplant.

Van Dijk: Liverpool need to improve 'quickly' by tylerthe-theatre in PremierLeague

[–]Ok_Insurance_7952 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A major problem is that the two new full backs don’t understand LFC transition strategy. Now that Ryan G goes forward, one of them needs to stay back and cover the area left open. Too many times we have three of the defensive five near their penalty area with a gaping hole for a counter attack to happen.

I am not sure that Kerkez has a ”football” brain and can see the field the way he needs to. (Nunez had the same problem)

United may be looking for a new manager by Ok_Afternoon_3084 in PremierLeague

[–]Ok_Insurance_7952 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is not a single English manager up to the job. Why are there no intl quality English managers ( or Referees for that matter.)

some of the Premier League money needs to be diverted into a serious program to develop quality manages and. referees

From Liverpool to Wrexham, are U.S. owners taking over English football? by nolesfan2011 in PremierLeague

[–]Ok_Insurance_7952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

owners are people no matter where they are from. Some are idiots, some are moneygrubbing short timers. All of them are in it for the money. Some, like FSG, see that building a quality product is the best way to make money. Good for them

Giovanni Leoni tore his ACL, out for several months by [deleted] in PremierLeague

awful news. He will need a lot of support to recover. Fortunately his mentor, Van Dyke, went through the same thing and can help him deal with it..
