@DeadlineDayLive Red card means missing the rest of the match & 1-3 subsequent games too. Yellow card means nothing there & then, hence a tactical foul, dissent, simulation etc is worth it, just behave yourself afterwards. Make a yellow a 20 min sin bin and most of those fouls would soon stop.

🇩🇪 German referee Patrick Ittrich has proposed a number of potential rule changes in football: 1️⃣ For a tactical foul in midfield, award a free-kick 17 metres from goal. How many of those fouls would we see after that? 2️⃣ If a player rolls around three times and calls for a doctor, bring one on — then make him wait on the touchline for three minutes. How fast do you think he’d get back up? 3️⃣ If a player verbally abuses the referee, send him off for 10 minutes to cool down. Go for a quick cycle to stay warm before returning. There’s something to learn from handball there. 4️⃣ Why is a referee being surrounded by 10 players after a decision? For me, bang, bang, bang — three red cards. Play seven vs ten. That would sort it out. Do you agree with his changes? 🤔

@MikeyPhil64 @TheMajesticPie @GoonerTaIk @MemzAFC And your point wasnt entirely opinion?

@TheMajesticPie @GoonerTaIk @MemzAFC Well that’s opinion and the ones that mattered were in the VAR studio and on the pitch.

Guehi on Salah, and Lacroix on Cunha. The fouls are in basically identical areas of the pitch. The nearest covering defender is in basically the same position for both. Yet one is “denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity” and a red card, but the other isn’t???

@jj_bull Nah, I'm sick of defenders fouling players as soon as they are beaten. Good offensive play should be rewarded with an attack, not end with a cynical foul. The jeopardy for the defender needs to higher, a first yellow is nothing, maybe needs to be a 20 min sin bin.

I don’t know what planet the referee was on last night but this gets worse the more I watch it

@lfcmumble We've won 6 of the last 20, so 13 games is likely to produce 4 wins and 10 will require massive improvement that we've so far proven incapable of this season!

Big 13 games for Arne Slot coming up. Thought we played well there, should have won. 4pts behind Chelsea, need to win 10 of the 13.

@WilcoFtbl Same level as prime Djokovic, Federer & Nadal??

@ackerr01 Sinner?

Absolutely incredible tennis between Djokovic and Alcaraz in the Australian Open final. Alcaraz has now won the Grand Slam at 22 years of age. Youngest in history. Ridiculous talent 🇪🇸 We never thought we’d see Federer, Nadal or Djokovic’s records broken, but here we are.

@grok @MonuAFC @Conor_2019 @Bueg25 @Origilista But @grok a strikers job is to score goals. The benchmark is a decent striker scores at a rate better than 1 goal every 2 games. Check the stats and make a sensible evaluation of these players whose job was to score goals.

In an all-time strikers list among these, I'd rank: 1. Dennis Bergkamp for his technical brilliance, 3 PL titles, and 120 Arsenal goals with major impact. 2. Michael Owen for his 2001 Ballon d'Or, 158 Liverpool goals, and peak speed. 3. Robin van Persie for 2 PL Golden Boots and 190 club goals, but shorter elite span.

"Arsenal heritage striker" as if Liverpool dont have a better striker history than Arsenal 😭 Henry is your saving grace we've employed Suarez Torres Daglish Rush Owen Fowler etc

@sashayanshin Probably realise they can't compete with Chinese car manufacturers, especially as Musk has alienated swathes of Tesla customers with his politics, so they are gambling on robotaxi and optimus etc to try and stay ahead in AI related applications. Might be successful, might flop.

Tesla is making a big mistake. On the earnings call, Tesla announced that they are cancelling the Model X and Model S - production stops in June. Plans for the Compact car were shelved years ago & there are no plans to produce any other new models that have a steering wheel and pedals. The repeated argument on the earnings call is that 80% or 90% or 95% or whatever % of car journeys are made by just 1 or 2 people, therefore you should design a vehicle for up to 2 people only. So the Cybercab is apparently coming in April and it has 2 seats and a bit of space for luggage. The problem with this logic is that people don't buy a car for the 90% scenario. People buy a car that can do the 90%, but ALSO do the remaining 10%, so that you can have 1 car that can do every job you might want it to do. Imagine a mum that needs to go to some shops with a toddler. It's just 2 passengers. But is the mum meant to carry all of her shopping, the pushchair, the formula, spare nappies, and whatever else in-between the robotaxi rides between shops? Or should she pay the robotaxi to wait an hour or two while she shops and leave her stuff inside the car? A car is more than a method of getting from place A to place B. You can store stuff in the car. A regular guy going to work is just 1 person driving every day. But at the weekend that same guy might be driving the same car to take his family, camping gear, and bikes to the mountains. That guy needs a large car that can address the weekend need, regardless of whether a 2-person car could technically transport him to work every day. And that car needs a steering wheel and pedals or some other method of direct control so that you can drive over rough terrain/park on a camping field. Maybe one day FSD is going to be good enough to be voice controlled in every possible scenario. Today is not that day. When you buy a phone, 90% of what you'll do on a phone is stuff like checking emails, social media, and reading websites. So why don't you go and buy a separate really basic phone to do those tasks? It would be a much cheaper phone - that's the argument, right? But you need the better, more powerful phone with a good camera because you want to own 1 phone that can also do the remaining 10% when you need it. The robotaxi 100% has a place and will be popular in big cities when it eventually hits the streets for real. But car ownership is not going anywhere. People will continue owning cars, including larger cars even when FSD is perfect 100% of the time. And the proportion of people owning cars will be high (out of those who can afford it). It's strange that a company with an army of smart engineers is saying they can't focus on more than one thing at the same time. I am not sure why it is necessary to give up on the car business where Tesla has proven its worth and could become a global powerhouse in order to also work on FSD and AI. Why can the Model S & X not get a meaningful serious update and upgrade? Not the sort of upgrade that makes it go fast around the Nurbugring... The sort of upgrade that makes 10s of thousands of people want to buy it. The argument that the space from the Model S/X production line is required for manufacturing Optimus is clearly BS. The people who manufacture cars in Fremont are not the same people who train the latest AI models for Tesla. Tesla is giving up on a kickass business that won it a devoted fanbase because there is a shiny new thing on the horizon. The AI & control required for Optimus is many orders of magnitude more complex than FSD and FSD is proving a tough nut to fully crack. Without a generational leap in AI tech, we are many many years away from you being able to order an Optimus to do your laundry for you. I'm sorry to be the bearer of realistic news. In the meantime, Tesla could have become the globally dominant car company and do to other car companies what Amazon has done to retailers. But instead, we have 1 car model in 2 different shapes, and energy storage cabinets and that's it while we wait for the shiny thing to maybe arrive (in 2 weeks).

@EvaVlaar No, we dont need to abolish the EU because without working together European nations are globally irrelevant. Our strength is together. What we need is an EU that actually works for Europeans and not against our culture and indeed our existence.

This woman is absolutely hell-bent on destroying Europe. After all of Africa and the Middle East was welcomed in, now the Indians have to be imported. We need to abolish the EU.

@SeanDOlfc He's valued around £60m, so you would pay around that to take him back, meaning his 7 month jolly in Spain coat us c£50m?

I’d take him back tomorrow. If anyone brings up his defending again after watching us this season they deserve a slap. Guy is a one man playmaker from back to front. A Gary Neville doesn’t offer you anything these days.

@KemiBadenoch Presumably in the same way the sovereignty of Scotland should only be decided by the people of Scotland yeah?

A terrible idea. President Trump is completely wrong to announce tariffs on the UK over Greenland. People in both UK and US will face higher costs. These tariffs will be yet another burden for businesses across our country. The sovereignty of Greenland should only be decided by the people of Greenland. On this, I agree with Keir Starmer.

@Corballyred Under Klopp we struggle to break teams down when we compressed play into final 3rd. With Klopp, they were allowed to take more risk & the press would recover ball if unsuccessful. Now, we've no press, dont take risks, so we are left with the inability to break down a low block.

At least the nonsense "we're better w/o Salah" narrative can stop now. Salah was never the issue—it was always Slot & his tactics. You'll never see the best of Salah w/ this slow, disgusting brand of football 👍

@Tom_fairclough9 Liverpool strikers are damned of they do, damned if they dont. Team seldom plays to central striker, so the player gets slammed for not being involved. Go looking for it, slammed for not being central. Problem isnt the players, its the tactics & consistency of the set up.

Unpopular opinion but Ekitike gets away with murder

@Corballyred It's atrocious. It's not Liverpool.

Slotball is even more boring than Artetaball. I really miss heavy metal football. We're so boring to watch.

@Corballyred True, but as big part of the problem isnt the players qualities as a 6, its that no one is now instructed to be a 6. Gravenberch was told to sit "deep, deep, deep" last season but has been given freedom to roam now. Hence midfieldnl highly fluid & everyone vacates the no6 spot.

Major issue (unpopular opinion): Jones & Gravenberch as midfield base. Neither is a true 6 → huge gaps behind midfield. Too slow in possession; pedestrian play often starts w/ them. Long term, they can't pair together. Priority for recruitment: top-quality specialist 6 👍

@elonmusk Nice thought. Terrible reality. If you don't understand this you dont understand humanity.

Doing my best to make this happen

@GraemeKelly1 @ZakLFC7 Because hes talking rubbish. "Never as bad as people said?" Only worst results in 70+ years and the football is dreadful. And why would you take a winning team and deliberately make so many changes you know you will likely destroy results? It idiocy.

@ZakLFC7 Why? Is he not right here? You jump on stuff just cos you dislike him. It’s boring.

The more he speaks the worse it gets

@Kalshi He should give up all his money then...

JUST IN: Elon Musk says there is "no need" to save money because universal high income is coming

@lady_valor_07 Ayrton Senna

Name the celebrity?

@GraemeKelly1 @xGPhilosophy We've high xG via the highest number of shots but they're the most missed shots, most blocked shots, most shots from outside box. All zero or low chance of scoring. Only 7th for on target shots & 15th for 6yd box shots (highest probability). Playing the wrong numbers game.

Can’t hide from xG. I’d like to know what it is against us too tho. @xGPhilosophy
