I just woke up to a call from India. A family friend called and described his son’s situation. His son lost his job on an H-1B visa and needs to return to India in 60 days if he doesn’t find another. His son has already completed 52 days and has 8 more left. I listened and asked, “You are the one who always keeps posting that India has developed a lot under Modi, NRIs should return and serve India, America is bad, etc., on WhatsApp status. So what’s wrong with your son coming back?” He got triggered at first but later felt ashamed because I had shown him his reality.
This is the situation of the average misguided Andh Bhakt WhatsApp uncles in India.
It will never not be funny that a group of players who’ve collectively barely won anything are so annoying they’ve somehow brought all of football fandom together to cheer for their failure. It’s fucking beautiful
Don’t let it get twisted - Virgil van Dijk is still the best CB on the planet by a mile at age 34.
Wins 77% of his aerial duels, doesn’t put a foot wrong defensively and in recent years developed a very refined passing range to progress play.
🔴 Indecision is killing Liverpool, not the opposition
There’s no crime in losing matches. The real issue is not knowing what you're trying to be while you’re losing them. Liverpool right now look like a side caught between three different ideas of themselves, with none taking root. The shape changes every week, sometimes multiple times mid-game. The personnel shuffle. The principles evaporate. You can't build rhythm when you're always starting over.
Arne Slot looks spooked, unsure whether to back his own plan or bend to each new problem. That hesitation spreads. The players look confused. One minute they're pressing high, the next they're standing off. Fullbacks who made their names with overlapping runs with menace now hesitate in no man's land. Midfielders don’t know when to hold, when to break, when to drop. And up front, the lines blur between instruction and improvisation.
This team isn’t lazy. It’s unstructured. It isn’t lacking talent. It’s lacking conviction.
There’s been tragedy off the pitch and upheaval on it. That matters. But so does decisiveness. You can’t ask a squad to buy into something if you’re not sure what you’re selling them. Slot doesn’t need to get everything right; he just needs to pick a path and walk it. Stick with a system. Make tough calls. Drop big names if needed. Let them settle into a plan and own it.
Every team hits turbulence. What matters is whether you hold the controls or let the wind take you. Right now Liverpool are leaning into the gusts, hoping something clicks. But the fix is simpler than it looks. Stop tweaking. Pick a system that protects the defence, gives your creators a platform and demands everyone do the work, on and off the ball. Stick to it.
Not because it’s perfect. But because, right now, this team needs clarity more than anything else.
US tariff-related 20 lakh job losses should worry any government but NOT BJP. They won by VoteChori & continue to believe they will stay with VoteChori. Hence, not bothered by $1.4BN of Andhra shrimp exports, Gujarat's diamond industry, UP’s brass & leather etc being decimated.
