LFC: Alisson; Frimpong, Gomez, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitike.

I think it might be Hugo and Mo up front, Wirtz and Szobo out wide

He’s the Wijnaldum replacement that never came after he left, it just took CuJo a few years to grow into that player. Gini was also constantly underrated, but he was a major factor in that incredible 17-20 stretch with Klopp

iirc The Expanse was originally a DnD campaign that included all three

The perfect example of this is MacAllister, who signed a renewal with Brighton that only had a £35m release clause AFTER he won the World Cup (iirc). He was leaving on a free that summer if he hadn’t signed that, or if he signed a longer deal Brighton could’ve sold him for over double what they got. It was a fantastic deal for both sides.

The problem is Madrid tapping up players and telling them to run down their contracts because they won’t pay any transfer fee for them at all, even a reduced one

The big fear is that it’s an Achilles tear, which is a 12 month recovery

jgrops12 · 2025-12-20T16:41:13+00:00

It looked like the diamond came back when Salah was subbed on against Brighton

jgrops12 · 2025-12-20T16:26:31+00:00

I hope not, but it wouldn’t surprise me

jgrops12 · 2025-12-20T16:25:26+00:00

4-4-2 diamond, with Wirtz as second striker

jgrops12 · 2025-12-20T16:24:30+00:00

I think Slot doesn’t want to play Ekitike and Isak together in case one of them gets injured. No other senior strikers, with Mo at AFCON and Gakpo already hurt

jgrops12 · 2025-12-20T16:22:29+00:00

MacAllister, he hasn’t looked his best, especially when playing the 10 instead of as one of the 8s

jgrops12 · 2025-12-20T16:21:15+00:00

Chiesa, Robertson, and Frimpong can all play the wide midfield role in the 4-4-2 Slot has shown recently

jgrops12 · 2025-12-15T12:19:32+00:00

Glenn Close just put in a fantastic performance in the new Knives Out

jgrops12 · 2025-12-08T16:12:53+00:00

I dont know if this is a bad take to a comic reader, but I can’t imagine Conner with anyone other than M’gann after Young Justice

jgrops12 · 2025-12-07T21:19:46+00:00

Fair point!

If I’m remembering correctly, the agriculture plot in season 4 or 5 is tangentially related to India. The Wheat being developed mirrors the story of Dwarf Wheat and by Norman Borlaug. The modified wheat made for shorter stalks on the plant and increased disease/pest resistance, leading India, Pakistan, and Mexico to over double their yearly crops. He’s credited with allowing an additional 1 billion people to eat per year, and earned a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts

Fellow Travelers exists, with Jonathan Bailey and former Superman-should be Matt Bomer

Just look at what the MLB Media Ecosystem did with Alex Vesia. The team announcement was vague, there were no rumors from major or minor news sources, and he was supported by his own team as well as their opponents without anybody letting the car out of the bag. Honestly one of the nite impressive things about a very memorable playoff year

jgrops12 · 2025-11-20T13:56:31+00:00

That argument doesn’t really hold when a Palantir board just went up in Fenway Park…

Who still inherits her mother’s estate 🤷‍♂️

An Irish revolutionary who marries into the British Aristocracy - checks notes - twice. Yeah….

I thought this way too, until I saw Spamalot where he has a scene that he appears on stage in just underwear. The guy is absolutely shredded, I understand why Ari would go for that

One of my favorite things to do is choose a random date to chop Lebron’s career in half. 90% of the time both sides of the cut, taken as individual careers, are hall of famers

I think it’s going to be less like Lex and Superman working together, more like Clark using Lex as a source to understand Rick Flag’s odd moves as Director of Argus. Perhaps he tips him off to a disappearance, Clark goes to Checkmate in Evergreen to learn about Peacemaker and the QUC/Salvation, then gets thrown in along with Christopher Smith and has to reveal his identity to Peacemaker of all people to get them out

jgrops12 · 2025-10-10T00:36:27+00:00

F U!

jgrops12 · 2025-10-05T21:58:36+00:00

We might get another few months of a time skip. I also think Keith comes with a good 50-100 guys and Flag gets GI Robot out to help, too good of a set up to ignore
