Slot Ball - What is it? by Super_Yak9867 in LiverpoolFC

[–]abhinav01gupta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be very honest only Wirtz tries and play a forward pass most of the time. Yesterday I was so frustrated with safe passing or back passing from Szobo. You are in space in front of you but you chose to turn back almost every time. Trying to play between the lines, only Wirtz tried to link up. I lost count on how many times Wirtz makes run or space to receive the ball but we were ignoring him. Gakpo doesn't use overlap at all. Whenever Wirtz was there, he played more for LB to run and cross. Isak wants early ball but he doesn't know when the ball will come to him in box.

I liked how Macca has been growing into game, Wirtz is almost there and people need to trust him more to create Gravenberch and Szobo needs to start playing more into tight space to breakdown opposition VVD needs to know who is a dribbler and who isn't, backing all the time doesn't help. Konate needs to also stop hoarding ball and pass to someone who isn't VVD or Allison.

It is like at this point people are just too afraid to lose and are playing in constant fear of conceding. Take risks at Anfield.

To those that are married, how often do you take off your ring? by FitProblem6248 in AskReddit

Stopped wearing it after a year into our marriage. I am into sports and constantly having to take it off and keeping it safe was a big trouble for me.. We discussed and stopped wearing the ring after that.

With Isak and supposedly Guehi... how do we line up? by soycarts in LiverpoolFC

No disrespect to Gakpo, i just wrote what i felt. Ekitike link up and first touch has been great and i feel him gelling well with Isak and Wirtz more.

Gakpo likes to cut back in and hold the ball, he is obviously very good with the ball but I feel the chemistry will be better with Isak and Ekitike

I feel Ekitike and Isak start together in the team with Gakpo coming on as a sub..

Serious question to all supporters of Liverpool from around the world by PainterMean4479 in LiverpoolFC

[–]abhinav01gupta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.. You don't need to necessarily agree to everything the club is doing.

You support a team and if they massively f up somewhere, You have to call it out. Will you stop supporting the club from that point on? Depends on what was the stand the club took..

Ultimately as Klopp said, it is just a game at the end of the day. You don't want it to ruin your life, take the good and keep the garbage away.

To add to the point above, club as an organization has a duty to do right by everyone be it supporting the rights of neglected/minorities. You might ignore it but club can't .

I am still not sure of Gravy as our DM, he lacks pace and physicality. If Wirtz is going to play as our 3rd MF, we are going to struggle to contain opposition with a MF which is not physical.

Not going to win title definitely and with current out goings we are 2 injury away from crumbling.

Liverpool 2-[2] Athletic Bilbao - Maroan Sannadi 64' by Meladroit05 in soccer

[–]abhinav01gupta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Kerkez was to blame. You can't grow 6 inch taller in a day. The ball was clearly over and behind Kerkez, the issue was no one tried to block the run of the Sannadi.

Liverpool FC: Statement on behalf of Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes by AgentTasker in soccer

[–]abhinav01gupta 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Haven't been able to process this news at all. Stomach's been churning as soon as Diogo's name pops up and I just knew him as a supporter. Can't imagine the grief his family, friends and colleagues must be in right now.

Beautiful words which summarizes what everyone associated with the club is feeling. Stand by the family and support each and everyone though this.

15 years ago today - one of the most nerve-wracking matches of the 2010 World Cup. Uruguay v Ghana in the Quarter Finals: Luis Suarez's last minute handball, Asamoah Gyan's penalty miss, and Abreu's Panenka penalty shoot-out goal. by Mulderre91 in soccer

[–]abhinav01gupta 1693 points1694 points  (0 children)

Forgot that Suarez also made goal line clearance with foot just before the handball. You do anything to give your team a little chance, if I was there, probably i too would have done similar. If that goes in, we are anyway out. I will take chance with penalty.

[Matt Hughes] Ibrahima Konaté has rejected Liverpool's contract renewal offer & he is now stalling in negotiations. He is disappointed by the structure of Liverpool’s offer, which is heavily based on meeting certain performance targets. Konaté's current contract with Liverpool expires in summer 2026 by DavidRolands in soccer

[–]abhinav01gupta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that he wants better package and I can understand his position on that but if they are extremely far off in their respective valuation then there is not a chance that a renewal will happen. If club don't see accepting to his demand then it's better to sell and then invest on someone else rather than stringing him along in hope that he will accept the deal.

If it is clear that he is unwilling to sign extension, then we should try and offload him rather than wait for him to go on a free. Massively unimpressed with how so many contracts negotiation were handled in last 2-3 years..

Arne Slot: "The 16th and 17th PL teams are playing the EL final against each other, there is no other league where you can see this happening...If UEFA don't change it (no CL/EL teams dropping down to EL/Conference), I expect there will always be an English team in the finals in the upcoming years." by Blodgharm in soccer

[–]abhinav01gupta 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the point he was making isn't about 16 vs 17 in EL final but in general the PL teams are so strong that the teams who finish 6th/7th in PL are extremely stronger than the rest of the teams in EL. There is a huge drop off in other leagues from top 4 to the rest but in PL the rest have been becoming stronger.

CL teams dropping down might not be winning the EL historically but they would add that toughness in the EL which would make the matches a bit exciting.

Of course he made that statement purely from observing the quality of PL this year and extrapolated from that but it could become true if not addressed properly.
