Bit of column A, bit of column B, but their first year has been so bad that even when they're now trying to implement an actual popular policy (National ID polled pretty well pre-election), people have turned against it.
Stamer is so bad that he can't enact popular policy anymore.

I think they should think about the things he says for longer than 30 seconds. Should put that notion right out of their heads.

There's the other side of that coin with the occasional beach football game of two sides with nothing to play for having a kick out & attempting passes & take ons they wouldn't usually.
All turnovers, no tracking back, pure fun vibes.

My vibesy take is they just decided ok then we'll attack with more players & because everyone else is obsessed with having 5-7 guys back it's paying dividends.

Leaving twitter has meant I see so much less of this type of discourse & it's a vast improvement.
Have people decided he's a bad egg despite every media appearance he's done ever, or seriously thinking Rogers should be starting ahead of him?

On that I just come back to how efficient & effective the attack was when Asensio was there with McGinn & Rogers either side, there was less pace than now.
There were also games without Tielemans in the pivot during that time too, the xG didn't suffer as much as now, not even close.

Yeah that's my feeling too, Guessand puts in good shift so got the nod for this tough set of fixtures, kept it tight & nicked a couple for 6 points, not bad at all. Wouldn't be surprised to see the split 2 in Europe as a testing ground.

Yeah I'm definitely seeing that too. Lots more dropping in & running it up the left. I think it might be a result of slowing though.
I think it can be used to give more width like you say but there's got to be another runner like Malen there if that's where we're going.

To give them some credit Slot returned to last season with the more combative Dom in the middle & Bradley as the RB. Stopped us just dominating that area physically.

Concerned that Watkins isn't getting separation from his defender & occupying both CBs, was key for us. Totally different output.

No he wasn't on a free, actually he cost a few of about 125€.

A 6 pointer no less.

I'm just a humble guy putting ideas out there on how to even out economic stratification in the PL.

Just one of the writers was also on cheers & Grammar used to sing show tunes to warm up. I wonder if he's actually done any G&S on stage.
Wasn't Bob also supposed to be a 1 & done too? Great great casting.

Yeah there's some interesting upgrades to the sword that makes it more viable in the stage of the game you're now in.

Yeah this version of City is very Haaland gets the shots & if a shot isn't Haaland it's a mistake. Expect Mings & Onana to start this one, quite interested to see if we go with the Malen two or Guessand though I think it will be the latter.

If I remember right Dionysus has a damage over time effect which can stack up pretty heavily if you can get a few of them. But yeah pretty mid tier boons.

Damn! So close
It's one of the few games to really use failure to it's advantage. If you don't know what's up on the surface yet I won't spoil it but it's a really nice but of writing & acting that makes you want to continue doing runs.

Also a great doc series on it:

For a guy who grew up in a part of the UK with a very low number of Jewish people, South Park was basically an introduction to a lot of antisemitism & it's related conspiracy theories.
Lot of that stuff got repeated & ingrained over those teenage years.
