@jaybeethefourth No doubt he's brilliant. The issue is that he tinkers at the wrong time (mostly in away legs) & it backfires beyond repair.
Quick look at some avoidable debacles at City alone:
Liverpool 2018
Tottenham 2019
Lyon 2020
Chelsea 2021
Madrid 2026
@RohanMcN@daniknowsfooty Even if he does, I'd say let Goretzka or Ito or someone like that play as an emergency CB.
They have the height, the physical strength and the agility.
@chess_feed If ...Q×a7, White plays Rf8#.
If ...K×a7, then Nb5+ retakes the Black Queen, and White is eventually up the exchange at the very least (nothing can prevent K×b2).
If ...Kc8, then Q×a3 wins the Black Queen.
@ElChivoViejo488@chess_feed Black can play Qd5+ in response to Kg8.
White plays B×d5, then Black goes Rb7.
Following this, White goes for Q×b7#.
The checkmate is inevitable, but this is now a mate in 3 moves, not 2.
@FrancisMarcus97@chess_feed The problem is that Black can play Qd5+.
If White plays B×d5, then Black plays Rb7.
After this, White goes for Q×b7#, so checkmate is inevitable.
However, this becomes a mate in 3 then.
@chess_feed For mate in 2, play Kh8. Black cannot move his King.
Only options for Black are moving Queen along the diagonal or Rook from a7.
Kh8 prevents any checks (Kf8 can come with Q×f3+; while Kg8 can come with Qd5+).
If Black moves Rook, then Q×b7#
If Black moves Queen, then Qc8#
@charlesarthur I wasn’t using “disingenuous” in the sense of deception.
I meant it in the sense of feigning ignorance for sarcasm - pretending not to know how things like PET scans or nuclear power work in order to mock anti-Einstein conspiracy thinking.
Perhaps I should've said “sarcastic” 😄
@xRenee0@simonmaechling I don't think he's arguing that science determines or defines normative concepts - that part will always come from moral intuitions.
He's highlighting that scientific advancements gave mankind the ability to overcome certain barriers.
