CHAMPION'S LEAGUE - Maribor (A) - Pre Match

Yeah to be honest, when I'm looking at you and your family through your window I like to be able to smell you too. If anything it's the scent that gets me off. I'm not hearing about any positive moves in that direction.
You may be wrong there .. I'm sure there are moves in that direction ;)
 
I recently met the guy who wrote Soccernomics in an investment forum about AI. Big data and all that stuff that attracts your Elon Musks and co.

He talks about how technology brings the world closer and connects people and solve problems, yet is in danger of losing the human touch factor.

Kinda like how our hapless data scientist wannabe, Michael Edwards, is in charge of our transfers. That's probably why we are still shit at it and haven't fill the problematic positions that even a five year old could see.

Machines can never replace humans entirely but then again, on second thouhht, maybe we need a few to replace the clowns who run this club.

There's two issues with relying on "big data" and the idea that somehow an algorithm will replace intuition and instinct:

1) There are just as many data points in your instincts and intuition - they're just not recorded anywhere except your head (or "gut")
2) The only predictable thing about humans is that they're unpredictable.
 
Liverpool: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Lovren, Moreno, Milner, Wijnaldum, Can, Coutinho, Salah, Firmino.
Subs: Mignolet, Gomez, Henderson, Sturridge, Klavan, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Solanke.
 
Oh, I'm sure he will. He'll take it as proof beyond doubt that we never would have won had he played. Or something. Maybe if we lose or draw he'll blame Lallana.
One question, has Henderson played well this season so far?
Fuck it I'll answer it for you. Hell no!
So why do you feel the need to defend him? Habitually...

He had a couple of good games this season.

He's been poor for a majority, but to say he's been shite every week reeks of agenda.

By all means, have your hate figures (mines well documented, and arguably retarded), but at least be fair with it
 
Speaking in general terms yes he's been shit this season. Unless it's mediocre shit you expect from him, in that case he's been average.

Nah. Not buying that.

Against United he was good. Couple of stupid floated back post passes, but Coutinho serves up that shite every week. He just counters it with other moments of magic. Henderson defensively has been improving.

As if your vendetta against the guy has anything to do with his form. You'd still be on his case if he were top of every stats list going. What a sad sack you are.

How long is "improving" gonna cut it though? He's 27.

Says Lucas's biggest fan, the most divisive Liverpool player in living history. Actually scrap that, he wasn't even divisive, most fans thought he was shit.

Henderson has been a far better signing than you give credit for. I know you are now basking in his post injury hit and miss form, but yeah, agenda reeking just about sums up the repetitive shite you serve up over this and Lallana and your other English pet hates. We all know the score, give it up.
 
Lucas was consistently shit until then wasn't he? Then he became wonderman
Dude, Wonderman was like 5 years ago, he's 30. Yeah he had to adapt, Hendo is English though...
Also Lucas messed up his knee. What's Hendo's excuse? gait?
To be honest why compare him with Lucas, how about comparing Hendo with Matic, Kante, Fabregas, etc he'd still end up in the very bottom of that pile.
 
So can someone tell me just what the fuck is the point of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain? £35million! Fuck me we're dickheads. It's actually getting embarrassing now (if it wasn't already).

Why do you feel the need to habitually make him your focus of attention for EVERY match thread? Do you even enjoy the games, or do you just watch it hoping that your pet hates have a bad game, because that's how it looks to most people. It's like when you watched the England game after we signed Lallana, criticising every single thing he did.

It's pathetic, agenda riddled.

Ok, you're content with mediocrity, I get it.

Christ, could you be more transparent? How about his terrible ankle injury that nearly ended his career? No? Thought not, biased fuckwit.

Lucas had his knee, but Henderson hasn't had a litany of injuries? Generally when he builds up a head of steam

Henderson isn't a defensive mid. Lucas had the grace of 5 years before he hit his stride in that position, in spite of working with some our greatest midfielders in recent memory. Henderson had a waning Gerrard and that's it.

So, Henderson has been dm for 2 seasons, both of which were curtailed by injury. Whereas lucas had 5 uninterrupted, then got injured, and never got back to that 6 month level.

We don't compare Henderson to other midfielders because there's little point. They are better. And what? Could compare every one of our players to someone else and they'd be last. De bruyne pisses over Coutinho from a great height, as does silva. And that's just man city. Mane and salah are arguably the only ones you could say could be the best in the league (but again thats subjective).
