Exactly. This is what's killing the flair within football....

So what's going on Mo' Fo's.....haven't been here for a while...kinda lost interest in football when the season ended and for the first time international football has not kept me engaged.....watching the tories getting bent over and properly fisted made for far more interesting entertainment...
So if anybody can give us a quick summary of what's been going on with our football club ....ins, outs, if things are slotting into place it would be greatly appreciated...

Not much else going on tbh. People whingeing about the lack of transfer activity, and that's it.
Welcome home.

Academy football v’s Street football…
Give me Street football every day, it allows creativity, freedom, fluid and irrational thinking to blossom… its an unconstrained vision of how football can be played.
Academy football, is intrinsically rigid and formulaic and can instil good practices but stymies the individuals ability to express their unique talents and so it’s a very constrained vision of how football should be played.
The best players in history were Street footballers, Messi, Maradona, Hagi, etc…
Wasn’t is Shankly who said “ read all the coaching manuals you can read, and then do the complete opposite… “
I think on a sliding scale of high risk high reward (unconstrained) vs Low risk safe (constrained) Pep’ vision is more towards the constrained and Klopp’s vision is more towards the unconstrained, it was this random chaotic approach and heavy metal football that always seemed to be the most difficult approach for Pep to try and counter, hence why Klopp has such a good record against him
However Gareth Southgate is Academy football, ( constrained ) gone mad, he operates so far away from the Risk and reward element, which he had seemingly been completely sacrificed in complete favour of the predictable safety first approach (constrained) of keeping the ball, and passing it backwards to the goalkeeper if needs be, rather than taking any unnecessary risks.
Be organised and constrained in defensive mode for sure, but in possession I will always lean towards the high risk high reward unconstrained mode, it’s just such a great spectacle when executed properly.
Don't get me wrong, I am not criticising Pep, i think he has created almost the perfect balance of the two visions, but I just prefer Klopps interpretation…
Hey ho, I am older than you by some distance and i totally get the Dinosaur comment…

Football sanitisation. Pep os a big part of it right now I think. He's probably inadvertently influenced things far too much and it's turning people off.
The spontaneous nature is being eradicated,that's not entertainment it's managed boredom even if it yields a ton of silverware.
It was probably inevitable but football has changed for the worse in so many ways over the last to decades.

Virgil van Dijk has informed Liverpool of his desire to sign a new contract with the club, according to HITC.
The Reds are now looking to secure the Dutch defender with a contract extension before the end of the year.
Despite heavy links to a move to the Saudi Pro League this summer, which would see him follow Jurgen Klopp out of Anfield, Van Dijk has expressed his commitment to Liverpool.....
