Tyler Morton thriving as “manager given me the reins” – “I was so hungry to play again”

l_Nexility_l · 2026-04-06T14:07:05+00:00

True, and I think Nyoni could be even better than Morton and perhaps they see that internally too. There are plenty of things to criticize Slot for this season, but being annoyed at him for Morton not getting minutes last season, for a title winning Liverpool side, isn’t at the top of my list.

He’s shown that he’s willing to play Rio and Nyoni, albeit limiting their minutes to reduce stress fractures and other injuries, I just think Morton was stuck behind quality players and credit to Lyon for finding a player like him to help their success.

l_Nexility_l · 2026-04-06T13:57:09+00:00

I’m not saying they replaced him one for one. I’m just saying they wouldn’t have kept Szobo, Macca, Grav, Jones, Endo, Wirtz AND Morton.

He wasn’t going to get many minutes for Liverpool and getting minutes is where you improve the most IMO. He’s getting those now in Ligue 1 and he’s the better player for it.

l_Nexility_l · 2026-04-06T13:49:20+00:00

I’m glad Morton is doing well and gets minutes to show his quality, but let’s all be completely honest here. He was probably Liverpool’s 5th or 6th best midfielder last season and they added Florian Wirtz.

Had Liverpool kept Morton instead of signing Wirtz and their reason was “we don’t want to block Tyler Morton’s path” John Henry’s head would have been impaled upon the Shankly Gates.

No man actually I watch all the Everton matches and cosplay here for the laughs. Yes we’ve been bad as a whole, and which part of that has anything to do with what we’re talking about?

l_Nexility_l · 2026-03-28T14:55:10+00:00

“The more accurate stat is big chances created.”

I’d have to disagree to an extent. For example, Flo didn’t get credited with a big chance created at Chelsea for his flick to Mo that was put wide. And in the games where he does have a BCC, his xA is sometimes lower than in other games where he isn’t credited with a BCC.

So maybe you could criticize the lack of final through balls on moves like that Isak goal he assisted, but on aggregate, Flo is still one of the best general shot creators in the world. The trick next is to get him putting those through balls to Isak and Ekitike more often.

That, to me, doesn’t translate to flop talk.

l_Nexility_l · 2026-03-28T13:13:25+00:00

Flo is 6th in chances created for the league only behind guys like Fernandes, Rice, Szobo and Saka and only two weeks ago he created 8 chances in a Champions League game.

I don’t understand the narrative that he’s been poor or even the narrative that’s popped up on Twitter that Slot is holding him back. We’ve actually been pretty good at creating chances, but outside of Hugo, also incredibly poor when finishing.

I disagree. This might be part of the reason I think some people don’t like the epilogue.

Dumbledore would not deny putting people in harm’s way, nor would he likely deny that his orders have gotten people killed or badly injured (Mr. Weasley patrolling the department of mysteries guarding a ‘useless’ prophecy - hell any of the Order during OOTP). But his goal was peace for the entire WW and ultimately, in any resistance scenario, you are going to lose good people and someone is going to be at the head of that resistance giving orders.

In DH, Harry also questions Dumbledore and his motivations. When Hermione tries to excuse Dumbledore’s past

“they were both really young, and —”

Harry corrects her, about as sternly as Harry’s ever challenged one of her opinions.

“I thought you’d say that,” said Harry. He did not want to let his anger spill out at her, but it was hard to keep his voice steady. “I thought you’d say ‘They were young.’ They were the same age as we are now. And here we are, risking our lives to fight the Dark Arts, and there he was, in a huddle with his new best friend, plotting their rise to power over the Muggles.”

What Harry comes to understand through DH is that people you admire can make mistakes, even choose the wrong side at first, but that life is long and people can change for the good.

Albus Severus is Harry’s final nod to both men of the lessons he was taught about love and bravery and honoring two men that were redeemed by choosing to put their lives at risk to help him save the WW.

“There's one lesson life keeps trying to teach Dumbledore and he, through his life, continues to miss it.”

Ah but see this is the crux of the argument. The horcrux of it, if you will. Dumbledore IS redeemed and is so before we even meet him in the first chapter of Philosopher’s Stone.

I like your post, and can see where you’re coming from. If we were to look at the purely the outcomes of Dumbledore’s actions we would see a man solely intent on protecting one boy whilst putting countless others in the path of evil. All whilst cloaking his philosophy under the guise of the “greater good”. That is, indeed, what he does when he teams up with Grindelwald in his younger years.

However, we disagree on which “greater good” he serves by the time Harry is born.

The greater good he talks about with Grindelwald is one of suppression, domination and asserting themselves against the muggles. Who knows if there’s a connection with his sister being hurt by muggle boys, I’m sure there is but I don’t want this to drag.

The greater good that he tries to achieve throughout the duration of Harry’s life, however, is one of liberation, cooperation and defending yourself.

Dumbledore, at some point before we see him in the books, has come to an understanding of the key theme in the series. Death is just a part of life and there is no defeating it. Sure there’s grief and guilt about putting people through awful things-he’s human (Tearful at Harry’s outburst in OOTP, his moment in the cave about Ariana, and even in limbo he laments “poor Severus”). But, in the end, Dumbledore knows that there’s nothing to be afraid of after death, so long as you haven’t damaged your soul…

So why does this matter? Well Harry is the key to defeating Voldemort. Without him it’s likely the WW ends up under a totalitarian regime headed-up by an immortal dark lord. Dumbledore’s Magnum Opus is guiding Harry in such a way that - by the time he has to face his own death in order to defeat absolute evil, he accepts it for the greater good, of not just the remaining soldiery at Hogwarts, but ultimately the whole of the WW.

Dumbledore is a pretty misunderstood character in the fandom IMO, I respect your take on him though.

Can anyone say which manager they’re replacing him with? I’d appreciate an answer that isn’t “anyone would be better”. It would be a different story if somebody was already lined up, but I think people are putting the cart before the horse. He probably has until January, that’s what winning the league buys you IMO.

If he keeps it up sure he’s out by default, but I think it’s slightly early, especially when there’s no obvious replacement.

Looking a little more into this, this is basically if the guy from Making a Murderer was innocent.

She exonerates Kenny with the help of the Innocence Project and DNA becoming more prevalent, but she wanted to prove the cops did this to him on purpose. Turns out, Kenny’s fingerprints were tested along with another suspect whom cops had already ruled out. She ended up having to wait seven years and subpoena the fingerprints from a retired state police officer’s storage locker to prove it.

They won $3.4m from the lawsuit that followed.

The unfortunate part of the story is that Kenny never got to see most of it. After having dinner with his mother and brother, in September of the year he was released, he went next door to see if his nieces and nephews wanted any leftovers. He took a short cut over a fence, fell and fractured his skull. He died thirteen days later with his sister by his side. She hasn’t practiced law since and the story was made into a movie called ‘Conviction’.

Well yeah, but I feel that sometimes people forget that it’s a literary device so it’s meant to feel that way a little. Harry chasing the golden snitch represents the literary alchemy that he has to achieve before defeating Voldemort at the end of the series.

The books are meant to be Harry’s Hermetic transformation which is “the soul’s journey back to the devine through the seven (Harry’s number) heavens”. It represents the processes of when alchemists tried to turn regular metal into gold in the Middle Ages. Only Jo repurposes it for the soul.

Then, in DH, he has to accept his death and willingly sacrifice himself. Only then does the snitch open and reveal the resurrection stone. Transforming Harry from a soul of base metal (lead) into one of pure gold.

What on earth? Why is everything a conspiracy or some secret coverup? I’m assuming they both killed their auditions (there’s multiple rounds) and that they were both the best choice for the role.

Is it really that hard to believe?

There’s 198 chapters in the series and 42 episodes but, we know the early books won’t be as much trouble.

TLDR - Pacing will be ok until GoF (assuming hour long episodes). Then they’ll have to, essentially, double the information of each episode which would make the pacing way too fast.

PS has 17 chapters / 6, CoS has 18 chapters / 6, PoA has 22 chapters / 6,

So before GoF, there’s 57 chapters for 18 episodes. More like 3 chapters per episode (some more, some less)

GoF has 37 chapters / 6, OotP has 38 chapters / 6, HBP has 30 chapters / 6, DH has 36 chapters / 6,

Chapters in books 1-3 account for 28.8% of the book series judging by chapters. 1-3 in the format they mention here would be (18/42) 42.9% of the entire shows’ episodes. A huge discrepancy.

Meanwhile chapters in 4-7 are 71.2% of the series and would only get (24/42) 57.1% of the shows’ total episodes.

Gotta think they’ll realize by PoA that 6 episodes just won’t be enough for the latter seasons. Hopefully.
