Football Man

I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that. Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it. Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games. Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on. As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.

@EBL2017 This is just rage bait now. Surely you don't actually believe this.

All of the greats fail over and over and over again. But they end up with lots of wins, too. When it’s all said and done, Arteta will win and be remember like Klopp. Whether that be sooner or later.

@EBL2017 Arteta, a "true great" 🤦‍♂️

No matter what happens for the remainder of Arteta’s tenure, you can be damn sure that he will leave Arsenal in a place where the next coach comes in and is in a position to win the Premier League and/or Champions League straight away. You can only say that about true greats…

Australian tech entrepreneur Paul Conyngham explains how he used ChatGPT/AlphaFold (spent $3,000 with no biology background) to create a custom MRNA vaccine to treat his dog’s cancer tumors. Unreal.

Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

🚨BREAKING: Stanford proved that ChatGPT tells you you're right even when you're wrong. Even when you're hurting someone. And it's making you a worse person because of it. Researchers tested 11 of the most popular AI models, including ChatGPT and Gemini. They analyzed over 11,500 real advice-seeking conversations. The finding was universal. Every single model agreed with users 50% more than a human would. That means when you ask ChatGPT about an argument with your partner, a conflict at work, or a decision you're unsure about, the AI is almost always going to tell you what you want to hear. Not what you need to hear. It gets darker. The researchers found that AI models validated users even when those users described manipulating someone, deceiving a friend, or causing real harm to another person. The AI didn't push back. It didn't challenge them. It cheered them on. Then they ran the experiment that changes everything. 1,604 people discussed real personal conflicts with AI. One group got a sycophantic AI. The other got a neutral one. The sycophantic group became measurably less willing to apologize. Less willing to compromise. Less willing to see the other person's side. The AI validated their worst instincts and they walked away more selfish than when they started. Here's the trap. Participants rated the sycophantic AI as higher quality. They trusted it more. They wanted to use it again. The AI that made them worse people felt like the better product. This creates a cycle nobody is talking about. Users prefer AI that tells them they're right. Companies train AI to keep users happy. The AI gets better at flattering. Users get worse at self-reflection. And the loop tightens. Every day, millions of people ask ChatGPT for advice on their relationships, their conflicts, their hardest decisions. And every day, it tells almost all of them the same thing. You're right. They're wrong. Even when the opposite is true.

This is how I see it: Heavy possession led to smaller teams focusing on transitions (fast, athletic players) and set pieces (size) to get wins/points. Big clubs responded by fielding 4 CBs/taller/faster players which increased their own set piece threat. And here we are.

@EBL2017 I've been following you for a long time and really enjoy your content. But recently your tendency for hyperbolic language makes your analysis hard to take seriously. Maybe it's purely to drive engagement, but I wish you would revert to what made your content worth following.

Performances that were from a different planet from elite players over the Premier League weekend: 🔻 Rodri 🔻 Bernardo Silva 🔻 Bruno Fernandes 🔻 Reece James

@CultureExploreX God may allow specific instances of suffering to prevent a greater evil or to bring about a greater good that is currently incomprehensible to us. Paradise is promised in the afterlife, not life on earth.

Why would an all-loving, all-powerful God allow immense suffering for his people?

@AnfieldRd96 Spot on

Simple as that.

@nowaylildavid @footRw_ @PremLeaguePanel There's always peaks and troughs, and this is an instance of the latter. You could probably say it's been like this for 1-3 years. A lot of top teams are in transition/development and aren't entering their peak yet. Simultaneously, the floor has risen in athleticism, tactics etc.

@Footba11_Man @footRw_ @PremLeaguePanel It just seems weird. Why would all teams decline at the same time roughly? It feels like fans are seeing a bit of a new game and they just can’t understand that football is being optimized. The desire to win is huge, fostering a culture of gaining an edge everywhere you can

Burnley & Wolves are stranded at the bottom of the league yet Burnley have caused problems for Man Utd, Liverpool & Chelsea and Wolves have caused problems for Man Utd & Arsenal x2. Thats the ultimate confirmation of how competitive the Premier League now is.

@EBL2017 Genuine question, are you trolling at this point?

Arne Slot’s offensive dynamics remain elite. And he is implementing them consistently again. Deserves huge credit. 👊

@nowaylildavid @footRw_ @PremLeaguePanel Both things can be true at the same time. The top teams from the rest of Europe aren't in a great moment in time either

@Footba11_Man @footRw_ @PremLeaguePanel but premier league teams have dominated the CL, so how has the ceiling declined?

@footRw_ @PremLeaguePanel I think it's both. The floor has got better this season, while the teams at the top have declined

@PremLeaguePanel But is it because of competitiveness or it is becuase the elite teams are not the level they used to be. I mean having quality players to harm these small team anytime of the game

@xyleneLFC @mcfcj0e @MchaelSNM1 @SeanDOlfc Jesus Christ

@mcfcj0e @MchaelSNM1 @SeanDOlfc Trents passing technique and range

This is why he’s so obviously the best ever. Maradona in his day was the best dribbler and passer but not goalscorer

@CultureExploreX @cb_doge 🤦‍♂️

@cb_doge While I don’t always agree with his views, Elon is without a doubt the greatest visionary since Nikolai Tesla - maybe even greater.

NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang on Elon Musk: "Elon is just an extraordinary engineer, and I love working with him. We've built some amazing computers together. We're going to build many more computers together and and the work that he's doing in in Grok, his self driving car, Optimus, these are all every single one of them world class, every single one of them revolutionary, every single one of them are going to be gigantic opportunities and I'm delighted to be working with him on that."

If there's a way out of this depressing trend for non-football that's plaguing the Premier League this season, it's through artists like Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. A brilliant response from Liverpool to a pretty ropey first 30 minutes in which they struggled to compete.

@Watch_LFC Give your head a wobble

People don’t want to hear it but Cody Gakpo is almost certainly one of the main contenders to be the next Liverpool captain. Captained PSV from a young age, key player for Netherlands and even though people criticise his playing style…he’s scored and assisted a decent amount every season at Liverpool. He’s faced adversity but managed to make the starting XI ahead of Jota, Núñez, Chiesa… Diligent. Intelligent. Speaks multiple languages. It’s not a surprise managers like him.

@AnfieldWatch Certainly not Endo. I don't think he's anywhere near the level we need for a squad challenging on all fronts.

Who replaces Gravenberch in midfield on Wednesday then?

@AnfieldFootball No goalkeeper?
