“Stop quoting laws to men with swords” is gonna be the defining phrase of this era huh.

I’m afraid you’re gonna have to get your hands dirty and put one of these broccoli head mfers through a window.
Even Curtis Jones hasn’t managed to piss me off today, incredible scenes
Specifically we’ve been doing it in the second half, since Isak came off
Slightly different personnel, but we’ve essentially been doing this thing today for I think the first time this season and — considerable opposition caveats aside — it has super worked just like it did in pre-season
I really liked our final phase shape the first 30 minutes today, essentially a 3-2-5 with frimpong and Gakpo wide, wirtz and Mo as dual tens and ekitike as the nine. That front five really complements each other in terms of which spaces they like to occupy, and we were causing havoc the whole time.
Starts with our press being much braver. The fullbacks pushing up to deny the outlet ball to the winger forces the long clearance, then CM tracks all the way back to make the recovery and start the transition.

Putting on Chiesa when Liverpool’s had no one on the right the whole first half, then playing central with Ekitike drifting right-ish, is very funny to me
The way theate has that hair tied back has me fearing for his already backpedaling hairline
That is Ibou’s 10th career goal. 6th for us.
Premier League: 0 goals from 45 corners
Champions League: 3 goals from 21 corners
Nat brown won 80% of his tackles last season, the highest rate among fullbacks in the top five leagues. Running at him one on one is probably not going to be our main avenue to success.
4-4-2 with Wirtz at RM on defense, 3-4-1-2 with Frimpong at RM on offense. Super hate the first part of that
Their goal difference after nine Bundesliga and champions league games is 25-24. 49 goals in nine games. Off, I think, about 28 expected, so total overperformance for and against is about 74%.

GK save rate is 55% for and 47(!)% against. Just ridiculous numbers.

I’m banking on a 0-0
"Eintracht haven’t mustered more than 0.89 expected goals (xG) in any of their last three matches. This is significantly below the minimum of 1.81 xG that the Reds have posted in each of their four defeats."

We were also +0.43 per 90 going into this game. That’s Europa league numbers.
Oh I would be shocked if we sack him before the summer, because we are competently run and mid-season changes typically don’t work out particularly well long term, but starting to put together profiles on potential successors? 100% on the table imo

I think the public will be more amenable to this take now:

I have significant doubts that Arne Slot is the man for the job long term
The time has come for me to reveal the existence of my annual Secret Hot Take, the contents of which will remain confidential until the Premier League title has been mathematically decided
Two Utd players mishit the ball in their own box and we have five guys standing still six yards out with nobody even casually interested in getting involved

Damn that’s crazy, should’ve tried playing well and defend set pieces

Be nice if the lads at some point picked up on the fact that Mamardashvili is left footed
Just the easiest back post cross to deliver and we’re sailing it 20 yards outta bounds
