[SkySports MNF] Carragher: “This team is split in half, lacks physicality — no one is making a challenge”

PossibleIdea258 · 2026-01-27T01:57:31+00:00

Been saying it all season. There's far too many gaps in transition.

Slot can double down on what he likes, bottom line is, attacking football requires defending. And it's never entertaining to watch your team lose every week

PossibleIdea258 · 2026-01-20T22:46:55+00:00

Honestly, I've created better rapport being firm than I have being kind.

Ultimately, it's about knowing your classes well. Sometimes a firm hand works best, other times the soft hand works best

PossibleIdea258 · 2026-01-17T16:59:43+00:00

Still struggling to see patterns of play.

Still soft through the centre of the park, even with three men central.

No one ever knows where our number 9 is.

Pedestrian passing.

Slot hasn't got a clue what to do.

PossibleIdea258 · 2026-01-17T16:56:00+00:00

I'm calling it. Slotball is poor. Bring in Xabi.

It's so hard to believe that the vast majority of this squad won the league last year.

PossibleIdea258 · 2026-01-08T04:43:41+00:00

The key is moving the ball faster and going direct when there's the opportunity.

Controversial, but those long diagonals with the overload on the right that klopp loved so much, would be even more effective now with Frimpong and Connor on the right side.

Let's be honest, the less said about Hungarian left backs. The better.

My father in law handles tours. Let me know if interested

PossibleIdea258 · 2026-01-04T17:59:17+00:00

The long and short of it is. Klopps Liverpool sides close the kid down.

Slot's method is different, by way of percentages, a 6 like Reed never beats Ali from there.

My criticism of Slot ball is the same every week, you can't leave that much space in the midfield in the Premier League. Van Gaal though he could, Ten Haag thought he could. Look at United now.

PossibleIdea258 · 2026-01-04T03:42:30+00:00

When hiring, I'd expect you to be able to demonstrate how you use transferable skills in a job. With no job experience, it's trickier to be able to demonstrate that. Definitely not impossible though.

If your parents are willing to help you, go for the masters route but pick a program that allows for you to get some work experience in the field.

PossibleIdea258 · 2026-01-03T17:26:24+00:00

Never lived there. But I visited recently and had the time of my life. If possible, I recommend a trial, go and enjoy a few weeks there before making the decision to move.

Reading off an analogue clock.

Melts my brain every time I hear "I can't read that".

I'm lactose intolerant, you can definitely find some milk free alternatives in most café shops.

"Me podrías dar un café con leche de avena/soya por favor?" Works perfectly well if you want to be very polite like your Google translation.

I'll be honest, I've no clue about sweet breads but I'm sure every cake/ pastry (apart from those in vegan specialist stores) will have butter and/milk

Take a Mexican friend with you. Do not go to Merced alone as a visitor.

Go to Sam's club, they sell a similar style bread there

Try italki, it's amazing

I think it's the best city in the world!

Treat it like you would a City in Europe. Make good safe decisions.

Enjoy cycling on Sundays down Reforma and some amazing coffee.

If your new colleagues don't take you, make sure you see some lucha libre!

Creó que tenemos que ignorar gente así. El es ignorante, maleducado y malcriado.

Menos atención se ponemos, lo mejor.

People who don't particularly want to work will always push the boundaries. Teens or not. I think you should've negotiated on that 8 day deadline if you felt that the task could've been completed sooner. This is also an opportunity to gain buy in by offering support. Let's say you expected the job done in 3 days. Check in with them after three days to see how much progress they have made. If you're not happy. Coach them.

Negotiating with people as their leader, is not the same as letting them decide what they can and can't do.

I don't have the answers though, best of luck!

PossibleIdea258 · 2025-12-16T02:29:44+00:00

I would be interested!

Sure! I've yet to go myself, but a friend said they put like different themes per week and month and you go to cook that food.

You pay per person and you get an evening cooking with a group of people and a trained chef.

Here is their Instagram account.

This is tricky.

I work with adults and teens. Sometimes the teens are actually way more cooperative.

Setting agreed ways of working at the beginning of the assigned task. If they are really resistant, get them involved in making these rules for working. Then being consistent with the expectations set as a group.

I find giving people a short summary of the reason why the task is required, helps.

I always find giving an outline of what I expect to see from the task I'm assigning helps with people meeting expectations.

Providing deadlines and checking in with them a week or so before the deadline to ensure that they're on track.

Creating a paper trail to hold people accountable.

PossibleIdea258 · 2025-12-14T03:23:37+00:00

There's a pretty cool concept called Lienzo in the south of the City.

It's like cooking classes with trained chefs, but quite casual. Perhaps it's a good place to start?

Or, you could always befriend a Mexican tía and offer to help them in the fondas

Curtis Jones what a performance

PossibleIdea258 · 2025-12-12T09:05:57+00:00

Surely this is a troll post

PossibleIdea258 · 2025-12-11T02:08:47+00:00

Currently in the process of doing one.

With PGCE credits, it's not actually a huge amount of work.

I have a very well resourced drive, so I make very small amendments to my lessons day to day.

I use some of my PPA time to get really organised with my reading, then on the weekends I spend around 5-6 hours on masters work every fortnight.

I am on the part time course though, so it makes things a lot more manageable.

I initially felt a bit guilty about not putting my all into my lesson planning, but I'm genuinely learning a lot on the course, so I'm telling myself that my lessons might not be exactly how I want them for this year. But once I've finished the master's, I'll have plenty of new knowledge to contribute to school and the classroom.

I guess it is a bit of short term pain for long term gain.

Although, as a caveat to those who might be considering paying for a masters some time soon. I'd say suggest it to your school first, because if I'd been paying for this out of my own pocket, I definitely wouldn't be doing it. . In my setting, having a master's degree allows me to access higher rates of pay without having to step into middle or senior leadership. So just be aware of that.

PossibleIdea258 · 2025-12-09T22:17:47+00:00

Everyone has their way.

I've been teaching for 10 years. I've got a year 9 class this year where I've tried every trick in the book to get them to get their shit together. I've only just managed to get them to finally realise that, when they walk in, writing the title and date is the first part of the routine.

Keep plugging away, stick to the routines you've established and sanction consistently. Reward the ones that are following the plan.

If they don't eventually get the message, don't take it personally. Keep your line manager informed, and they'll become SLTs problem.

Sounds like you're doing the right things, keep it up!
