    Liverpool 23-24: The Long Klopp Goodbye

    Kind words from Teddy are always welcome. The finishing has been a major problem, especially as of late. Per Opta, Liverpool are creating more chances than ever under Klopp but the conversion rate is among the 3rd worst of his tenure. Of course, today we've got VVD calling out the team for...

    Liverpool 23-24: The Long Klopp Goodbye

    Your point about bedding youth is well taken, but this squad has very visibly hit a mental and physical wall. There’s a lot of factors at play - major injuries to key players, AFCON, key players logging heavy international minutes, and the style of play. Even if Klopp was staying, there would...

    Liverpool 23-24: The Long Klopp Goodbye

    Should have watched Liverpool instead. Whoever comes in next is going to have to devise a system of play and training that allows the squad to play 60 competitive matches a season (plus all the international minutes the players put on). Heavy Metal Football might be a dead genre. Liverpool...

    One Draft Hot-Take

    Chiefs get aggressive and end up with Brian Thomas.

    Chicago can't bear its crappy stadium any longer, moving to the 'burbs.

    The Bears released renderings of a new lake front stadium today. Looks amazing. Love how they redevelop Soldier Field in these very expensive JPEGs. The organization must have timed this the day before the draft to capitalize Caleb Williams buzz. They even got the the mayor out there saying he...

    Liverpool 23-24: The Long Klopp Goodbye

    Had to save this match for tonight…thinking I might just watch the Celtics instead.

    Welp, now Jota out 2 weeks with a hip injury.

    Liverpool 23-24: The Long Klopp Goodbye

    I think FSG's theory is that with Edwards and his team in place, the manager can minimize everything that's not tactics and man management. We'll see how well it works out in practice...

    Liverpool 23-24: The Long Klopp Goodbye

    The Eredivsie is also very top heavy and far more attack-minded than the EPL. Grinding out points at Luton is much harder than Valendam. But it's also the demands on the manager's time, the constant attention, the fan base endlessly arguing every decision, fighting on 4 fronts each season...

    Liverpool 23-24: The Long Klopp Goodbye

    I think this is a good style fit - the squad won’t need anywhere near as much turnover to play in Slot’s style vs Amorim’s. Another key feature of Slot’s tactics is using the keeper to circulate the ball when in possession. Feynoord will pass the ball back deep to the CBs and have the keeper...

    Rank the WRs

    Look at the range on Roman Wilson! If teams also have such divergent views of Wilson, he's liable to go higher than general consensus.

    Liverpool 23-24: The Long Klopp Goodbye

    It’s not so surprising that Amorim is not the top candidate despite fans’ interest. He’s young, his resume is short, and he reportedly has a €17m buy out. Thats not a knock on his achievements or potential. It’s a reality check that taking over a mega-club is a different beast. based on nothing...

    Matchday 34- where it feels like the end of the season is coming

    All 3 were an artifact of Young being er…too old. In each of this situations, he either needs to be closer before the action or quicker to close down. No matter Everton’s fate this season, his spot is a priority upgrade. the handball was a clear pen. The whole “it was too close” thing is a...

    Matchday 34- where it feels like the end of the season is coming

    Once again, Young living right on the edge of a PK. Lucky duck so far.

    That was a handball on Young.

    Matchday 34- where it feels like the end of the season is coming

    Oh my. Everything about this Everton-Forest game has been Sunday league,’in luring that goal by Gueye. A laser precision take by Gueye, but comically slow keeping.

    NWSL 2024

    So Sanchez requested a trade already and the Dash sent her to the Wave for an undisclosed cash payment. So weird. San Diego now has something of a surplus on attack, though Morgan just injured her ankle and is out for an indefinite length. But is a move with intent by the Waves. The Red Stars...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    The already play at the United Center. For reference, SeatGeek says the average Bulls home ticket went for $32 this season. And you get Fever at Sky tix for $17 least year. And as a tangent because I know you’re into this - the Red Stars almost sold out their June 7th match at Wrigley Field vs...
