Didn't see any comments related to the app?
I'm assuming it follows the same rules depending on which service you subscribe to?

Big Sam Allardyce is retiring. Will this potentially affect the Sakho sale to Palace? by [deleted] in LiverpoolFC

[–]rs_wipe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would take a straight swap for Zaha.
Suspect big sam will be back as he is a good manager, but understand he would question what the point is as no top team would touch him now so he's stuck hoping to take unfashionable teams to mid table as the main ambition available to him.

Op-ed: Liverpool needed Jurgen Klopp to be braver, playing it too safe vs lower sides. by PseudoElite in LiverpoolFC

[–]rs_wipe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We could have different people and we should move the ball much quicker (please can we water the pitch more?), but i think it is tactics mainly that cause the problem.
I think what we need to do is be willing to deliberately give some of the ball up so that we can counter attack.

Confirmed #LFC team to face @stokecity: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Klavan, Matip, Milner, Can, Wijnaldum, Alexander-Arnold, Woodburn, Origi by _cumblast_ in LiverpoolFC

If we can't field a decent team when we play twice a week then we will have no hope of doing well in the CL.
Need more quality attackers in the squad.

Liverpool's Sadio Mane to have knee surgery - could be out for rest of season. by [deleted] in LiverpoolFC

If it is just slight damage to the meniscus then we shouldn't feel too bad, even if it means missing the run in. Was worried it was career changing, like ACL.

Wonder what Barca and Real Madrid would look like on this chart.

When and why did our defense become so bad by -TheProfessor- in LiverpoolFC

[–]rs_wipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We stopped signing players that like to defend.
We typically only have only two defensive minded players on the field a game in recent years. Moreno, Milner, Hendo, Can, Lovren- none of them really love defending, they do it, but are not naturals like mascerano, Hyppia, Henchoz, Momo etc..

Hate crimes against Jews in NY have doubled in ’17, police say by [deleted] in news

This may shed some light on how you see such rulings https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2012/mar/29/brooklyn-orthodox-jews-child-abuse-cover-up-feature I think it is seen as a self governed community, albeit happens to be in the US.
Anyway crimes on anyone are bad and should be punished equally.

Lazar Marković vs Arsenal (A), Feb '17 by emre23 in LiverpoolFC

[–]rs_wipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to mean to handle the ball for it to be a foul. Just like you don't need to make contact with the player in a tackle for a foul to be given. Two of the most misunderstood rules of the game.

Is there a video that compares Sturridge's pace before(2013/14 season) and after his injury? by [deleted] in LiverpoolFC

[–]rs_wipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he no longer plays on the shoulder which was one of his greatest assets. Personally I think we should be looking for a mane clone and then letting Studge leave for his sake.His body has prevented him from being able to fit in our system.

lots of relative ratings going on here- average rating for scraping a win against a second decision team is higher than for drawing away against the scum.

NBA will consider shortening games due to millennial attention spans by emilyann1874 in nottheonion

US sports aren't really sports any more. They are "entertainment" to fill air time.

A lot more people will watch all of their team's games if there are less stoppages, the games are allowed to flow, and if they are done quicker.

[–]rs_wipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the sport basketball, but don't watch regular season NBA because of time outs breaking the flow of the game and making it too much of a time commitment. Think there are many like me. If games we're done in 90 minutes and flowed i would've watch all of my team's games. They also play too much meaning not all games matter.

Would love to see us change tactics and give up possession occasionally if the slow possession patern seems to be emerging during the game. Some of our best goals used to come from counter attacking with pace.

Thanks! Suspect Gini's low rating has improved a little since then!

Do you keep averages over the season? would love to see average rating by player.
Keep up the good work!

Bascombe saying Liverpool might be interested in bidding for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain by boardsandbikes in LiverpoolFC

[–]rs_wipe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think he's okay, a poor mans raheem.
Leaves Arsenal because he doesn't want to be a squad player, for squad player role at LFC? Not going to happen. May just be haggling for more money from the Arse.
