@regis_tah @Gradient_Sports I'm not denying that a player can be bad at duels and good at positioning. I'm saying that if you contest less duels because you have positioned yourself better, then you should typically win a higher proportion of those duels.

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

@regis_tah @Gradient_Sports Yes I agree, but less duels typically allows for a higher win rate. Obviously positioning is far more important though

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

Gabriel, to tie it!!

Italian top coaches switching jobs between the same few top Italian teams is hilariously similar to 14th century mercenary commanders in Italy switching allegiances between the same small pool of powerful states in the peninsula.

The 14th Century condottieri carousel:

@PeteFarrell14 In fairness there was (rightfully ) widespread criticism about Qatar hosting the last WC. Obviously different to some friendlies, but I don't think people are being too hypocritical

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

@PetersReceipts Maybe "discussion is contained and policed" or maybe you are just struggling to deal with an obvious and compelling counter-argument.

[scoob @MostCrucified]

arne slot looks like he was born to take the black and serve in the night's watch

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

@Bk8iP3 Seems so obvious to put him as the 6 with Szobo and Grav as two 8s. Play wirtz off the left.

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

These categories never make sense for CBs. All that matters is overall quality, height, and athletism. For instance Liverpool would be better with two VVDs rather than his partnership with Konate, despite the latter being a better match on the grid.

[Spencer Mossman @fc_mossman]

Center Back Archetypes Matrix, and the CB that best personifies each for me.

Two of the same in a team is imbalanced, two adjacent will work under the right conditions as it maximizes a strength and offers some balance, but two diagonal make the best pairing imo.

@DFakExGoalanke I'm assuming "Chirvella" doesn't exist

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

Kerkez inverting even in our "dream lineups"

[‏ً @SadioIogist]

If we are going to do this we’d have to play a system similar to Bayern are this season.

244 with a narrow middle line, with the ball side midfielder dropping to form a back 3.

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

@kmahta58 @Ironkai123 Yes a three man midfield with Wortz higher solves a lot of issues

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

@Ironkai123 Wharton as the 6 with szobo and grav as two 8s seems obvious to me. Lets Wirtz play higher and keeps enough physicality in midfield

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

@undf_pacifist @silkyplaymaker Yes he was everything you would want from that position, but would unfortunately get misprofiled today

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

@undf_pacifist @silkyplaymaker That's what I mean, one of the best defensive midfielders ever, but people would say he's "not a 6" because he didn't play enough safe passes and knew when to move up the pitch and attack the box.

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

@undf_pacifist @silkyplaymaker Don't think even Casemiro qualifies by some of the insane standards you see

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

In retrospect I have no idea why I thought this was a good idea.

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

Jarrod Bowen could be an idea for #LFC in the summer... Can play off the right or in a front two, and old enough that he could be shifted out of the squad after a season or two (whilst providing cover for Ekitike in the meantime)

[Evan Klopp 🤓🧠 @BetaBeastmode]

@DFakExGoalanke Especially given the full-backs we already have

[angel of the lanes @ThomasSilken]

Look at him, that’s my harper.
Look at him, you notice anything different about him? Look at his face. Look at his eyes! He’s BLIND

I'll give you a hint, He won a bardic competition in MUNSTER! HE DOESN'T EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH!
