🧵 Thread: Analyzing Liverpool's Build-Up Play Against Brighton ⚽

Starting from the back, Liverpool initiate a composed build-up with Konate positioned on the right. Brighton apply pressure, but Liverpool remain calm and start again with their GK Kelleher. (1/4)

in reality, we’re being guided to spend more than intended.

Takeaway: Be mindful of marketing tricks, stick to a list, and always check the final cost before placing an order. Convenience can come at a hidden price!

The Hidden Costs of Convenience Shopping

Today, I realized how platforms like Instamart and Blinkit cleverly nudge us into spending more under the guise of savings. Their strategies include offering small discounts on most items and setting a min order value of ₹200. (1/n)

7/ The lesson isn’t just football—it’s decision-making:
