Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 28/09/2026You might be on to something related to delegation. It seems like Fisch is trying to make micro decisions about everything other than defense scheme/play calling, even stuff like renovations and stadium atmosphere 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Liverpool's incoming transfers the last 2 summers: Forwards: €530m Midfield: €0 Defenders: €184m Goalkeepers: €35m The craziest aspect of this is that there is probably a need for 2 more forwards in the next two windows 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Also serves as a good general description of Michael Edwards' entire tenure 011
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Been doing the boom clap in Seattle since 2009 before Iceland ever made a major tournament which adapted for USMNT games here 1212
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 05/03/2026You could also do something like a pitch clock that is rigorously enforced 010
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 13/02/2025People cannot place a Seattle accent to save their lives 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Did you pull the Suarez numbers of fbref? They don't have the domestic cup data from back then 010
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Liverpool also can't get below second if they win the next game. So you should sit everybody in the final game anyway 010
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 11/12/2024If you finish 5th, you could face 11/12 or 21/22. So getting 1st/2nd doesn't guarantee an easier R16 game and you have to weigh the trade offs of how much effort you want from your guys to get a possible advantage in an earlier round 100
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 11/12/2024It looks like the difference between first and fifth is like €1m which is not much. The biggest thing is avoiding the extra games 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 05/12/2024I don't think you want to talk about Darwin's expected threat because it is also bad 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 05/12/2024This is a better question but just gets you to endless regress because the person that can potentially provide answers will never be in the discussion. Just pick the theory that makes you feel good I guess 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 05/12/2024You asked what the problem is with his shooting and it is that he is a below average Premier League striker in the current season so far. You can accept that or not but it is the current state of affairs 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Is it good if your coach looks like this in a post game press conference? 030
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 26/11/2024So it doesn't sound like you can actually say one way or the other about his system relative to feyenoord. What it looks like at Liverpool is a coach implementing tactics with players who are not optimized for that system but are good players. Which is why they look so bad for stretches in games 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Did you watch enough feyenoord games to feel confident that you know what his system was? It's also a very different league 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Are you asking why slot designed his system to get more shots for wingers? 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Darwin's problem is not that he doesn't threaten to score 100
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 25/11/2024It also means you might not get to make a decision. Other people will make it for you 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Not making a decision puts you in a worse position the longer you delay 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Liverpool would need to back signing Trent up with doing transfers for peak age players to convince Trent that they are still aiming for big trophies 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Counterintuitively, it might be worse for Trent for Liverpool to lock up big wages on Virgil and Mo because of the downside risk you mentioned. So if they sign, it might be better for him to leave 100
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 25/11/2024The thing is they should not have any impact on negotiating with Trent. He should be #1 on the list and the compromises should be made in the other direction 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 25/11/2024That downside risk only applies to Virgil and Mo. It's a reasonable position to take that 2 of your 3 highest paid players are not 33-35 years old but someone from the club has to make the case. Trent's situation needs to be evaluated separately 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Gotta air your dirty laundry on background to reporters like a real man 000
Matt @mattmcelro.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Seems to be a common thread running through the episodes 000
