Me and the lad went to 'Monkey Man' yesterday. Pretty good.  Kind of a John Wick, Kill Bill hybrid. Nothing groundbreaking to be honest but we both enjoyed it.
Now I've never been to India but I think Patel gave us a great feeling of being right there in a claustrophobic, bustling sweating underbelly of a major City in India.
Fuck me though, my head was spinning when it finished due to the shaky cam and frantic editing.

Watching that later, just read it was filmed in Batam which is a short ferry ride from Singapore, which you'd never guess.

Does anyone have the feeling that Klopp lost the changing room in the past month?
How else can you explain the attitude of the once mentality monsters who roamed Anfield?
Which led the total collapse of their performance.

Bruins taking a 3-0 into the 3rd period and might be 3-1 up in the series at the end of this game.

Tough to see a way back for the Leafs if that happens. The usual introspection in this hockey mad city would begin and who knows where they'll go from there.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Darwin Núñez (Darwin Gabriel Núñez Ribeiro)

« Last post by PaleBlueDot on Today at 02:51:03 am »

The thing is you don't trust Nunez to do anything. You don't trust him to lead our attack, you don't trust him to counter attack and you don't trust him against a low block.

The thing is the stats don't back that up. For his two seasons at Liverpool he has been pretty much bang on a League goal every 180 minutes. So a goal every other game if he played the full 90 every week. So around 19 League goals per season despite not being a regular penalty taker for us.

At Benfica in his second season he scored a League goal every 76 minutes which is prolific.

So from the age of 21-24 he has scored a League goal every 123 minutes. So if he played 90 minutes in every game he would average out at just under 28 League goals per season from the age of 21-24.

Amazing how a player you wouldn't trust to play in an under 9's 5 a side has a record like that?

Exaggerating much hah. I don't think Nunez is shite. I think he's okay...and is probably one of my favourite personalities in the team. Looks calm off the pitch but a madman on it. Gives his all. If I could wave a magic wand and have one player succeed I'd pick him. I just don't think he's good enough to lead Liverpool's attack. No hate on the fella.

Stats are stats but nothing beats the eye test + context.

There are literally tens of posts where you have argued differently in the past, that Rodgers and Klopp did not have the final say on transfers …

Ian Ayre

“There’s only one person that has the final say over what players [we sign] at Liverpool Football Club and that’s Jurgen Klopp right now,” he insisted.

“That’s always been the case for as long as I’ve been here.”


What I have said previously is that the situation has been manipulated so that the manager has basically Hobsons choice.

Yep, if he was paying advantage then there was no reason to call on the physio. Total garbage yet again because of a reflex that miraculously only kicks in when Liverpool or Wolves are the wronged party. No corruption!!

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Are you enjoying it?

« Last post by G Richards on Today at 02:43:47 am »

Yes, I am enjoying it. LFC is one of the great loves of my life. Been a fan since a nipper, can just about remember back to Kenny coming in, and everything since. I live overseas these days and watch all our games on tv.

Obviously there are issues. Man City are cheats and the Prem needs to be strong, and thorough, to see that through.
The refereeing is bad, and Tomkins wrote a large piece that strongly suggests deeper issues than them just being bad.

So I’m not blind to the issues.

With the tiniest bit of luck, Klopp could be leaving with 3 league titles and 3 CL titles. He has been a great leader and great manager for us. But all things come to an end, and his time is coming to a close.

We have a very good squad and some great youngsters coming through. A new manager is on the way. I’m excited to see what he will do. We have a structure at the club that will hopefully set him up to succeed. There are a few issues in the squad to resolve and I am looking forward to seeing how we handle it.

Gutted this season hit the wall late on. After unexpectedly getting into a title fight, I would have loved to win it - for the players, fans, and especially our great leader Jurgen Klopp. But it wasn’t to be. Instead we have a cup in the bag, a probable third spot in the league, and a new chapter is about to begin with the club in a strong position.

Yes, I am enjoying it, warts and all. Our games are in my diary, I will arrange work things around it if I can, I watch with my lad, I phone my dad back in England to talk about it all and it gives me a sense of where I am from and an abiding connection to my roots… yes, I am enjoying it.

The kit would have been a lot better with a simple white roll neck collar like the one on the current kit.

No idea what happened there unless Taylor called for an advantage there

He couldn't have played advantage though because he restarted the game with a drop ball. If it was a case of playing advantage and then bringing it back for a free kick then the restart would have been a free kick.

From the restart Taylor drops the ball and Areoloa picks the ball up.

He was 60 yards away when Areola initially assumed he had a free kick and rolled the ball a good ten yards away from where he caught the ball. Areola is in the process of taking the free kick when Gakpop realises it isn't a dead ball situation. Gakpo then waves at the assistant and asks if he can challenge for the ball and there is no flag.

Areola has made a silly mistake and then Taylor decides to intervene. He stops play, asks for the physios to come on, and then tells Areola to go to the floor despite Areola trying to attempt to play the ball twice.

It is corrupt as fuck.
