    Annoying, Chelsea have created nothing outside of the goal and as great as the ball in and the header were, it was completely uncontested. How have Zanka and Ajer let Jackson slip in between them, when he's the only person forward? Terrible defending, take control.

    I want us to swap to a 4-3-3 in the second half, get more pace down the wings, get more creativity in the middle and try to overload this Chelsea team. The way Poch has set up has cancelled out our attack, but it's also left Chelsea pretty weak going forward.

    If only Toney scored a couple of those 20 goals he's guaranteed to score per season.

    Belarusian airfield reportedly attacked with Russian aircraft damaged. 

    I'm planning to get in shape. This is getting serious I need to be prepared. 

    Are you in shape, have you been conscripted, and have india crossed the border with a trillion dothraki screamers?

    Top 10 Greatest cricketers from Pakistan

    1. Imran Khan 

    Not many in history could genuinely bat in middle order and also lead a pace attack at their prime. One of the greatest all-rounders in history; never bowled a no-ball in Tests. 

    2. Wasim Akram

    Greatest in skills with the ball. Got batsmen out methodically. Played at top level for around 20 years which is exceptionally long for a pacer.

    3. Waqar Younis

    Had more raw power and was aesthetically and arguably for a period better than Wasim. 

    4. Javed Miandad

    Greatest overall batter and an influential, tough, gritty character on and off the field. 

    5. Zaheer Abbas

    Greatest ODIs batter unless Babar wins us a trophy.

    6. Younis Khan

    Greatest Test batter but an average ODIs career is a gap in the CV. 

    7. Inzimam-ul Haq

    A great match winner. His 50s & 80s won us more matches than some other players' useless centuries. 

    8. Saqlain Mushtaq

    Revolutionized not only off-spin but the sport at large with his doosra. No one knew how to play him for a good amount of time. Murlidharan said in a podcast he asked him to teach doosra and it took him three years to learn. Sadly retired early due to injuries, would've been in top 5 otherwise

    9. Abdul Qadir

    Revived leg-spin after it was considered an obsolete art. Warne had tapes of him and came to meet him during tour. He told Warne a good googly is when your hand muscles start hurting and keep shadow practicing even with an apple. 

    10. Hanif Muhammad

    Put Pakistan on the map. 337 away to West Indies in 50s against that Windies attack, still the highest away runs in history. 

    Misbah-Ul-Haq did not average like 60 as captain and lead Pakistan to test number 1 ranking following the spot betting scandal to not be on this list you POS.

    I didn’t though, all I said was this is my expertise and I want to put in my analysis. I’ve read back the posts and I’ve had a sloppy word here and there, but my intentions are never to discredit anyone else.

    Usually it only gets to that point if people unneedlesly start to insult me and tell me I’m clueless. As for the Gerrard thing, you are absolutely right that I don’t know if he is for certain, and if I knew behind the scenes I wouldn’t be here posting it. My basis was an analysis and the sort of things I know about how a lot of clubs tend to operate.

    You've conducted a hiring process for managers at a world class club?

    I can tell you don’t understand how databases work. Sure he won’t be picked but I can guarantee you he is on a list. Whether he makes it past the first phase or not is something else, probably very unlikely.

    Hilariously, I'm in my final year of a business analytics and finance major, and Dr gonzo is an actuary. We have forgotten more about databasing than you will ever know. But this really isn't a question of databasing. 

    Liverpool will have a shortlist, on that list will be 1 or 2 managers that they desperately want, and 2 or 3 that they will fall back on if their first pick can't be made available. It's not some list of 30 managers that they're going to watch footage of, compare performances and interview. They know who they want.
