I love you, you play my Trent: Liverpool 21/22

Steel Icarus

maybe I'm a maze
(Named as my two favourite players are the manager and the right back, which is weird enough to be notable.)

So. Scraped third after a horrendous season with injuries. Surely a stronger title challenge this tear. But who arrives? Who stays? Who leaves?

The signing of centre back Ibrahima Konate looks a great bit of business - he's young, strong, quick and deceptively skilful. We're going to need a couple more players, though - Gini's gone and Shaq is going too I think.
 
I see Shaqiri's supposedly on offer. Bloody good thing too, would love to watch him play again and his move to Liverpool was atrocious for his career. Really selfish behaviour by the club in retrospect.

I half follow Liverpool but it would be delicious if he gets to play against and helps demolish them.
 
Likely Shaq will be off and he deserves to start games. He has been left in the wings at Liverpool which is a shame. However it is a hard starting 11 to get into at the moment.

Marko Grujic, Xherdan Shaqiri, Divock Origi, Harry Wilson, Takumi Minamino, Taiwo Awoniyi, Loris Karius and Ben Woodburn could be off too
 
From some fbook group thing:


Liverpool will be one of four clubs used to test automated offside technology in the Premier League next season, with a hope it will be in place formally from 2023.

Since the introduction of VAR, offsides have been increasingly contentious across the Premier League, with the tiresome use of arbitrary lines confusing and angering fans.

There have been goals ruled out for toes, hands and armpits being ‘offside’, which has detracted from the point of VAR, which is to aid referees in making decisions.

However, Hawk-Eye – the company responsible for goalline technology – is pioneering a new automated offside system, similar to that used to detect if a ball has crossed the line or not.

According to the Times, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City and Man United have all committed to under-the-radar trials of the technology at their grounds next season.

Trials have already taken place at one Premier League stadium this year, but this will be expanded to include the four biggest clubs in England.

The technology was also used at the Club World Cup in Qatar back in February, with FIFA described as “very impressed” with the results, which are “only 0.5 seconds behind live play.”

FIFA hope to use automated offside technology at the World Cup in 2022, while the Premier League are looking to implement it in time for the 2023/24 campaign.

The Times‘ Martyn Ziegler explains: “Automated offside systems use camera and computer technology to track players’ movements as well as the ball, and insiders say it should be more accurate than the VAR offsides.”

Hawk-Eye’s technology is “entirely computerised and immediate,” with the Premier League set to decide between the use of “fully automated or semi-automated” technology.

If semi-automated, these decisions would still be referred to VAR, rather than directly to the officials on the pitch.

How will that be any different? :confused: We've all seen goals given and not given based on mm either side of the line.

23rd October is the United game.
23rd October is also Baby87's Christening.
They both (for nkw) start at 3.

See, I'm not Catholic....
 
No way that united game will be Saturday 3pm so don’t worry about it. The only thing to care about is the order. The dates will get fucked about by tv and European fixtures.
