I’m not even a teacher kodwa you guys are trying to justify ububhanxa. You neglect your children’s educational needs and expect teachers to perform miracles in 6 hours, only for that to be undone when they get home.

NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE ARE NARCISSIST MAGNETS. HERE'S WHY...

people with autism and ADHD are naturally introspective.

we take accountability, sometimes to the point of self-destruction, because we're used to being told that we're the problem.

Liverpool’s first five results of the Andoni Iraola era:

🤝 Newcastle 2-2 Liverpool
🤝 Liverpool 2-2 Nottingham Forest
✅ Ipswich 0-2 Liverpool
✅ Liverpool 2-1 Atlético Madrid
🤝 Liverpool 0-0 Fulham

2 wins. 3 draws. 0 defeats.

8 goals scored. 5 conceded.

Extrapolated over a 38-game PL season:

15 wins. 23 draws. 0 defeats.

61 goals scored. 38 conceded. 68 points. 1.78 PPG.

(Last season: 63 goals scored, 53 goals conceded, 61 points. 1.6 PPG)

Liverpool will lose at some point so I don't think there's any chances of going invincible, but the team does look harder to beat than last season.

Based on everything I've seen under Iraola so far, I expect things to click around mid to late October and then hopefully a period of very good form.

No matter how soon the players adapt to Iraola's tactics, I expect that there will be some measure of burnout before the end of the season though.

This is a small squad, and Iraola's demands are intensive so I think there will be issues in terms of sustained energy levels as we saw with the lethargy vs Fulham after playing the first midweek game of the season over Atleti.

Liverpool looked great against Atleti, but tired and idea-less against Fulham.

Mistakes will be the reason 3 points are dropped, but the defence looks far more defensively sound with Jacquet at RCB instead of Konate and Araujo at RB instead of Frimpong.

While Iraola gets his midfield working with fewer issues, the back five will need to carry Liverpool through the 90 mins.

Ultimately, you just have the sense that Isak, Gakpo and Barcola will get most of the goals and that things will click for them. Iraola knows how to get an attack firing and he now has more elite attacking talent at Liverpool than he's ever had.

Overall, I would give the first give games of the season an 8/10, Not for the performances themselves, but for the changes I've seen from Slot to Iraola. Liverpool remain flawed, but promising.

Many of us neurodivergents struggle with what we call Pathological Demand Avoidance, we absolutely HATE being told what to do, especially if we were going to do that thing of our own volition. Like, it’s a VISCERAL LOATHING. Can you relate? XO, Dr. Jen

Some say that a death by suicide due to depression is selfish. What is selfish is passing judgment without knowing anything about the subject matter. You’re on the outside looking in. You’re not a professional. You’re a spectator.

[Champions Adjust @Champs_Adjust]

The fastest way to break a slump is to stop focusing on outcomes and start tracking your effort.

[lets heal and recover @recovery_your]

Please stop telling suicidal people how devastated everyone would be without them. Tell them why THEY deserve to still be here. Their life has value beyond what they mean to everybody else.
