More turnovers than you’d see at a bakery. No zip even at home. This is a thin squad and between the Premier League and Champions League, they’ll be unable to keep up. Deeper sides such as Arsenal, City, even United will have better fortunes.

You know why there’s a Mexican duck and not a Canada Goose at this World Cup? Because no Canadian would be insane enough to try putting a shirt on a Canada Goose. #FIFAWorldCup

Iraola will lift the gloom encircling Anfield. He’s likeable & knows the league. My question is whether the Reds have the kind of players who can deliver the style of football he wants. He’s definitely more of a gegen press type like Klopp. Maybe we’ll get a hint in the transfer window.

It’s been over 24 hours and Virgil Van Dijk & Ryan Gravenberch are the only Liverpool players to post their reaction to the dismissal of Arne Slot.

I suspect in the season end review, something changed. Maybe one on ones with the players exposed how much Slot had “lost the room.” I also wonder if the club was getting the hint from certain player agents that Slot was an obstacle to them joining Liverpool. Mo, Robbo, Ibu, gone. Summer of change.

A day after Mikel Arteta won the Premier League title, the man he succeeded at Arsenal, Unai Emery wins the Europa League. Maybe he wasn’t such a bad manager after all. Well done by both men.

Quite an indictment of the Liverpool culture by Mo Salah. Timing before his final game is well…awkward. Could he have waited? Maybe. Either way he’s kneecapped Slot for the second time this year. There’s already blood in the water around Anfield but the King just added a lot more.

A month before Canada opens the World Cup, I got an email from MLSE as a TFC season ticket holder. I could buy a ticket to the opener vs Bosnia at BMO Field - the price range is $1150 to $2955. The most significant match in Canadian soccer history is not sold out. Wonder why.

If nothing else, the Arsenal VAR decision should be the impetus for the league & the PGMOL to get tough on the clutching & grabbing. It’s been rampant in recent seasons & only getting worse. Start circulating video to the clubs saying what’s allowed & what isn’t - with zero tolerance.

What’s especially disheartening is I’m more surprised by victory than defeat. Disappointment is the most common form of expectation with this Liverpool club. Hard to fathom after last year’s exhilarating performance. #LFC #MUNLIV

It’s a typical baseball scorecard. Each box is the diamond, the outfield is drawn as well. It allows you indicate where the ball was hit, (1B for a single) each number represents a position (6 for SS) Anyway, google for more details

The first #OpeningDay game I ever saw, I covered for CBC Radio Sports in Montreal. The Expos hosted the Phillies. Leading off Pete Rose, who delivered his 4000th hit off Jerry Koosman, a double to RF. Still have the scorecard from that chilly April day at the Big O. #openingnight

Makes you wonder if the emotional impact of Mo’s departure will drive Liverpool forward into a stretch run to a top 5, maybe an FA Cup, maybe even a Champions League title. Some sort of special farewell gift. #LFC

Alisson is officially a reason for concern. Missed 30 matches from 2017-18 through 2022-2023. Missed 61 from the start of 2023-24 until today. Double the missed matches in half the time. He’s approaching 35. Transition time.

Hard to know how to interpret this Liverpool performance. It’s against a team they should hammer but unlike other times this season, they actually did it. Mo & Hugo may have some chemistry tho the King has a knock. A different set up seems to have made a difference. More of this vs Brighton. #YNWA

There are reports Liverpool chairman Tom Werner was over visiting from the US & was in the Anfield directors’ box on Sunday. He usually only comes twice in a season, at home opener and last home match of the season. An omen?

Man, Liverpool makes bad teams look good. Forest, Wolves. Spurs. 15th goal conceded in the final quarter hour of games. 19 points lost from winning or drawn positions. Could have 68 points. Have 49 instead. Ugh. Loss vs Galatasary may spell the end for Slot.

One of the most simple yet touching rituals in Judaism for me is the yahrzeit. The offspring commemorating the anniversary of the death of their parents. As darkness fell, my wife & I lit two candles for my late in-laws - wonderful people who led exemplary lives. May their memories be a blessing. ✡️

Liverpool embodied one of the most confounding aspects of professional sports. How two teams can play each other in the span of 4 days and one can look so awful in the first and be emphatically better in the second. 🤯 #YNWA

Villa losing, United losing. Today’s results drive home just how damaging that shambolic performance was by Liverpool. A massive opportunity missed - and embarrassingly so.

I’m no expert but the Reds playing slow seems to allow the low block to flourish especially with weaker sides. There’s no sense of panic. Burnley never seemed phased. Liverpool pressed better today but then it’s like they push the “slo-mo” button after being on “fast forward.” #LFC

One aspect of Mahomes recovery from surgery is his usual off season routine of inviting receivers to work out with him in Texas is likely disrupted. Especially challenging if the Chiefs recruit some new talent.

What might have billed the Match of the Year turned into the Match of the Yawn. But given the circumstances (no striker, thin bench, on the road, opponent with 5 straight wins) I’d call that a solid result. Maybe the break will bring new help & new ideas.#LFC

My gut says Harbaugh goes to either Atlanta or the Giants. NY is a massive rebuild but there are some building blocks. And it IS New York. Atlanta has a young unproven & injured QB, the NFL’s best RB, a top group of receivers & a decent defence. Harbaugh can win quicker in the Peach State.
