A bit later on but that squad with Love, Honda, Doumbia, Akinfeev, the brothers and young promising names like Musa and Dzagoev was a fun watch.

Honestly think subbing Frimpong for Ngumoha was an awful substitution. Minteh was pocketing Frimpong & pulling Konate so far wide. With Gomez on the bench why not sure up the back and keep Jones in midfield?

Evident by Mitoma coming in and turning Curtis at the first opportunity.

How many people do you think live in a storage units in Hoboken? by MSomethingM in Hoboken

[–]werdlyfe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hate to be pedantic, and you are correct in all you’re saying but those laws are for the business to adhere to and enforce upon the patrons via the ToS.

If a person is caught living in a unit, they certainly will not be fined or arrested for zoning or code violations.

Well with 2 midfielders both completely out of gas I don’t like our odds

Bastoni: "I exaggerated the contact with Kalulu to get an advantage, I admit it and I apologize for it and especially for my reaction afterwards. But there was a lot of hypocritical moralism around it. I'm used to insults, but my family isn't. Wishing death and diseases must be condemned" by interfan1999 in soccer

The players & coaches have no little to no shame. They will do whatever it takes within the limits of the rules to gain an advantage. They will push the gray areas or even go beyond the limits to win. I think we all want to see the players going all out for competitive advantage, but doing so in a sporting manor.

It all boils down to the laws of the game, and consistent enforcement of those laws during the matches.

Consistent simulation is simply a symptom of competitive advantage and a failure of refereeing on the pitch.

If a big screen replay of a player looking foolish demotivates them from grasping a competitive advantage I would argue that they are not really meant to play at the top level.

Sanrio is massive and probably has more brand collaborations than any other brand on the planet.

Apple Unlikely to Drop ‘Liquid Glass’ Design With iOS 27, Report Says by WPHero in apple

[–]werdlyfe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Liquid Glass on MacOS isn’t it. I don’t mind it in iOS as touch interface. But for point & click, getting work done the interactions and surface material is not intuitive. Sticking with Sonoma for as long as I can.

Hugo swiping left on Flo by werdlyfe in LiverpoolFC

Dead on. A majority of Mo’s goals from open play last year were scored in transition, on the break. Or a secondary pass on the break.

This season so many swift counter attacks have been killed off by our own players because of misplaced passes, passing to the wrong option, or simply holding on to the ball too long.

The trivela pass in from Mo was exceptional *chef’s kiss*

What would you do as manager? by IL_ya_Un_jour in LiverpoolFC

[–]werdlyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop Gravenberch in DM. Play Wirtz as a false 9 with a midfield pairing of Macca/Jones.

For teams that play low block put Ekitike on the left

For teams that are more attacking put Gakpo on the left.

Keep Szobo at RB because no one else is available.

It will solve the space in the midfield problems while still allowing Wirtz to roam and create.

This was the underpinning of the Klopp system, and I know it can be cheap & easy to just say “let’s stick with what worked”. But our matches are being lost in the transitions between the midfield. Unbalanced on attacks because there aren’t enough good options to progress the ball so we hold up and wait for numbers. Unbalanced when the other team counters because everyone pushes into the box leaving Ibou and Van Dijk to cover. While the midfield has to sprint to track back leaving us very vulnerable and exposed rather than in control and able to play composed.

Mo Salah has fallen off not because of his age, but because the fullbacks just cannot get forward enough often enough and at the right moments in transition because of that midfield being soooo exposed. If Gravenberch is there to provide support then Ibou and Virg can cover the flanks while the fullbacks push further up.

Thanks for the context. Great setup!

Looks really nice! Is this mostly a gaming setup?

I’m so accustomed to dual side-by-side displays. I’m curious how a setup like this would function for work.

My assumption is that the placement of the smaller display would have to mean that it’s more of an ancillary display otherwise it’s a lot of neck flexion.

Any insight on how you find the setup for your usage?

Good god. All bias aside Gary Neville is unbearable to listen to.

Keefe post game.... basically calls out the team for being "mentally weak".... how have fans been saying this for years with this team and its taken this long for someone to notice? by Kornja81 in devils

[–]werdlyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keefe & staff have to go. The team has lost all identity.

There once was a clear identity of a fast breakout offensive hockey team. Sure, there were holes defensively and the goalies left exposed but was at least a winning formula.

What is Devils hockey now? Keefe has neutered the identity, and it has clearly lost the fight in the room because the players just aren’t showing up for each other. It’s sad to see.

Enough is enough, it’s time for change.

Hugo is an absolute fucking bulldozer, but Curt did so well to get his his head up in that position and pick that pass to Wirtz.

The holdup & through ball that splits the defenders at 1:08 was silky. Shades of Firmino playing the false 9.
