Liverpool’s #lfc last three seasons aren’t three different teams.

They’re one team slowly losing the muscle memory of the last one.

Klopp’s side were fit, they pressed, they tracked back. Same plan every week. Predictable. Could run out of steam. But the habits were real.

Slot inherits that and adds a bit of control. First season is the sweet spot. Still Klopp’s legs and discipline, plus more brains. Title with four games to spare. That’s not a fluke. That’s the hybrid.

Then time does what time does. The longer Slot’s there, the more his game takes over. Less snap. Less tracking. More slow, sideways, “we’ll wait for the opening” football.

Second season is what pure Slot-ball looks like when the old habits have worn off.

Now Iraola wants the fitness and the directness back. He’s not getting it yet. Midfield still steps up together and leaves the counter on. First halves still too passive. That’s not “the players are bad”. That’s Slot muscle memory.

Iraola’s way already works in this league. The question is how long it takes them to remember how to run again.

@LetsTalk_FPL I’ve got 4 free transfers and no issues so should I consider Saka or Palmer to Semenyo this week for the Ipswich at home fixture?

[Tim CB @balmer_tim]

My vote on Brexit was affected by disinformation. I voted Remain because I was told if Leave won there would be terrible consequences.
The BoE Governor told me he would raise interest rates - he lowered them.
The Chancellor said he'd have an emergency budget - he didn't.
The Treasury said unemployment would go up - it went down.
Goldman Sachs and others said they would pull out of Britain - they spent billions on new HQs
The Chief Executive of the NHS Alliance said there would be an epidemic of super-gonorrhoea.
As for foreign interference - The EU, the US and Irish Presidents etc etc all weighed in on the side of Remain.

FPL 147 in the world right now. Having a good GW so far, but captaining Saka has backfired.

@LetsTalk_FPL Bench: Konsa v Muhemorovic v DeCyper. Thanks.

They'll have to work hard to beat 'placing an entire town on the south coast under martial law to import more people who would merrily slit our throats as we sleep'.
But I have every confidence in their abilities.

And by “be honest”, you mean lie.

I want to be honest about how we’ve got to a place where British billpayers are paying some of the highest energy costs in Europe.

Over the past 40 years, we’ve given up control of our necessities, outsourced our essentials and privatised the basics. Water, transport, housing. And of course, energy.

Now the public are paying the price. We haven’t invested in the infrastructure we need. Conflict overseas has pushed up energy costs and it’s hurting our businesses and families.

That’s why we need to take back greater control of our energy system.

This week, I announced Great British Grid, which will speed up connections and push down bills.

We’re also giving mayors, local leaders and communities a stronger role. With funding for People’s Power projects, communities will be able to build solar panels on libraries and town halls, hydro schemes in rivers or publicly owned windfarms on local land.

But it’s not just energy we need stronger public control over. It’s also water, housing, transport and care.

So we’re repealing the ban on public ownership of water companies. We’re building more council homes than this country has seen since the end of World War Two.

We’re reforming the leasehold system so families aren’t squeezed for every penny. And we’re opening up home ownership for first time buyers who can’t rely on the bank of mum and dad.

This week I also announced my determination to introduce a National Care Service, to put people above profit and to give pensioners peace of mind.

Together, we’ll rewire the country from top to bottom so that it works for all people in all places.

That is the only way to put Britain back on the right path. It’s the only way to put power back in people’s hands. And it’s the only way we will bring hope again.

Cheers to colleagues for arranging this for my first morning round 😂

100 Israeli passengers vs One Muslim Pilot. What a completely disproportionate response from israel.

Hang on,

@LucyTCWife was denied bail for a quickly deleted post.

Danny Tommo is denied bail.

However, five men arrested for a terror plot at RAF Fairford are released on bail.

Two-tier Britain.

[Laila Cunningham @policylaila]

Government piles on costs and regulations onto businesses until they close, then spends taxpayers’ money to “revive ” them.

[Rob Mifune @RobMifune]

@ArchRose90 Genuine question - what about if this was Germany instead, where you don’t have the English/British distinction. Would you and Suella be German?

[Rob Mifune @RobMifune]

@DavidGHFrost Labour are incapable of anything other than taxing, spending and borrowing. They’ve always got away with it in the past as they’ve inherited strong economic conditions.

This time they didn’t and it’s finally exposing them.

She should resign. Tenth choice candidate turns out to be a total duffer. I’m shocked.

I don’t think so. Last game aside, Wirtz is playing well, just his contributions are earlier in build up so not good for fpl.

Szobo competing with Gravenberch to be the 8 alongside Mac as 6. The issue is when it’s Szobo and Grav and think he’s seen enough of that now that he won’t do it again.
