thanks for tagging me gab @12monthoctober and eden @pianoandcookiedoughlover and faith @shades-of-greens <3 (i did not realize how many times i did not respond to this dfjhgjlkds you are all darlings <3)
1. why did u choose ur url?
i was tired at lunch one day and figured, ok im short, im also vaguely emo but not committed enough to go full out, so bam im both a little emo (as in noncommittal) and a little emo (as in short) <3
2. any sideblogs?
technically i have one now but i mostly have it to save the url, if i ever actually decide to start streaming ill prob make a blog specifically for that!! (though i think I’d use my alittleemo handle for it anyway so who knows then)
3. how long have u been on tumblr?
a little over a year now!! i think i made this blog in february of 2019 but started using it march/april of last year
4. do u have a queue tag?
i still do not know how to use the queue function dfjkhgkldjsjdflkh
5. why did u start your blog in the first place?
nearly all of my Pinterest feed was tumblr memes anyway so i figured why not go to the source of it all /hj. also i wanted to find more people into aftg and skam
6. why did u choose ur icon/pfp?
matching pfp with gab’s dsmp side blog!!! ae asked me if i wanted to match and i couldn’t pass up the opportunity :D (plus clingy duo / tommyinnit supremacy) i think it’s pretty fitting honestly <3
7. why did u choose ur header?
i love taking shitty pictures of jellyfish and i thought this one ended up looking really cool 
8. how many mutuals do u have?
13!! i have immense fondness for each of you <3
9. how many followers do u have?
39 babey!!!
10. how many people do u follow?
97 currently !!
11. have u ever made a shitpost?
what is anything i post if not complaining or making dumbass posts (affectionate)
12. how often do u use tumblr each day?
yikes. I mean like i am def here several times per day (its gonna be more now too now that its summer) but i feel like i sort of j scroll through my dash and only rb a few things compared to how much i actually see yk
13. did u ever fight/argue w another blog? who won?
no i hate confrontation but i also would rather j block someone trying to start smth w me
14. how do u feel about "u need to reblog these" posts?
going to steal celia and gab’s response bc yall are more coherent than me - sometimes it's too mentally draining to read abt terrible shit all the time. calm down. not everyone needs to read everything. i don't need ur guilt-trip rn. u can get across that a post is imp. w/o that statement. idk. sometimes i ignore them out of spite. i know that i rb a decent number of activism posts but i dont like those ones as much bc the guilt tripping isn’t the way to go
15. do u like tag games?
yes if u ever tag me j know i would instantly deliver cookies to ur house if i could <3 i do however often forget to respond to them until later (hi this tag is from over a week ago dfjkhgljdksh)
16. do u like ask games?
yes i love them immensely i j often again forget to actually finish them whoops
17. which of ur mutuals do u think is tumblr famous?
ik that i have a lot of relatively famous mutuals-in-law, but as for my own mutuals i’d say @lunawedlers and @lesbeanadiamcnll, i feel like yall have such good vibes in that respect <3
18. do u have a crush on a mutual?
like gab said, yes but platonically <3
tagging @coffee-and-moo, @alinastarkovaz, @lesbeanadiamcnll, @lunawedlers and any other mutuals who’d like to do so!!! (as always feel free to ignore as well <3)

New places
Jerico x ace
Ok to rb
Cw: food mention,body horror mention.oc stuff with no context
S/I uses she/he/they/xe pronouns
Havard uses he/Him pronound
Tumblr media
A dove softly sat on the shoulder of a young woman,she feeds them a sunflower seed while her eyes rest on an individual.
Ace smiles taking a picture of himself after a particularly hard mission.
The woman smiles softly, unable And almost frozen by the fear of talking to him.
--You know its going to be alright dear--the dove chimed in-- its natural to feel scared,but you shouldnt let that stop you, jerico.
Jeri only shrugged--eh,he seems pretty preocuppied with his own stuff,no way hed like to hang out with him
The dove cooed again-- oh but dont opposites attract?
Jer snorted-- that happened with you and vica not me and him icaro --Icaro batted their wings as a shrug-- anyway if we're going to get you that ruffled shirt you wanted we might need to get going now, plus I think ebonys cafeteria Will be Open soon so--as she Walked however distracted by her own phone and thoughts she seemed to ignore a certain someone.
Ace sighed looking away,there was no way shed be into him, he said she was "too Smart for him" always with tea and green books about whatever.
Sun and moon, rain and Fire, city and nature,opposites perhaps Yes but not too much.
In an attempt of bravery he Walked towards her,wanting to retreat midway, Denied so by the fact that shed already noticed Him.
The goddess of Faith was probably laughing at what her sister and her love interest were up to.
--oh, jerico hi!--he Chirped.
Jerico looked up at him with a soft expresion--oh hey havard, whats up?
The Man froze,what was he going to say to her?-- uh I know the alpha team is getting some days off, and uh I was wondering if I could go with you, Wendy told me that you know the weirdest of places around here
Sure, jeri had a lot of free time, since the alpha team was on medical leave, so her curious self called for adventure while she was unable to save lives and kick ass.
She nodded figuring it was for something for his followers.
So they Walked from base to an old cozy coffee shop,plants,fungi, crystals And even some small creatures decorated and roamed the place.
Distinct folkloric music played in the background,jericó guided havard around the place to the counter.
--Hey ebony!--She Walked towars the counter were the druid prepared drinks.
Ebony Turned around with xeir flowercrown getting in the way of xeir Many eyes.
--Oh somnaz quevirxom, jufev jufeviveh gomozi? Nom web hirevokiv?
Jerico nodded, then Turned to ace who was confused, then she remembered and Turned to ebony-- ven lom sazynaz geviizalom,ebony
The druid nodded letting out a "ah".
--my apologies--xe said-- what do you want young Man?
Ace tried,emphasis on tried to read the menú,jeri was kind enough to translate it for him,and so they ordered and Walked to a recluse área of the café cozy and full of creatures.
Ace was posting about whatever when icaro went to Grab a handfull of seeds ebony left for them.
They come back to find jerico very displeased with aces asshole behaviour.
He seems to notice as he turns down his phone-- sorry sorry...its a habit,but how did you find this place? Its amazing!
Jer shrugged--we saved ebony a while back, then xe opened xeir own cafeteria, and told me about it.
They then quietly chattered, jeri explaining to havard what each plant around them meant , the small creatures like frogs jumping around, bees,dragonflies.
He was impressed by her knowledge, and Enamored by how she excitedly talk about it.
Their drinks arrived shortly after, with some pastries.
After the obligatory photo on aces part they Ate.
--Man this is going to fuck up my diet--he said.
--oh no no--jerico said-- ebonys drinks and food is made in a way that its tasty but wont affect any sort of diet,basically it can be glutten free, keto or diabetic friendly,vegan And vegetarian,its just the default , xey thinks of everything,so dont worry go enjoy
Ace smiles almost choking with food.
Jeri chuckles finding it adorable.
Ace paid, and went to accompany jerico to get that shirt icaro wanted.
After that they went back to base.
--hey uh...ill see you again?--ace asked--i Got the week off
Jeri nodded-- we could go to ivorys tavern for lunch,youll love it!
He smiled--hey today was fun,thank you for letting me go with you
--hey its no biggy,im glad you enjoyed it, I like being around you --His cheeks turn red and he looks away-- anyway I said that id help bridgitta with something, but ill see you for dinner right?
--oh no, me and the nighthaven crew are going to the blue shell restaurant
Jeri perked up-- oh hey if you want a discount say that I sent you, shelliq and I are good Friends
Havard smirks-- do you know everyone around here?
Jeri giggled--sort of,hey see you later okay?
He nodded and both said their goodbyes.
After helping bridigitta with some chemical stuff she ate and went to sleep.
The moons light filtered through the blinds, icaro soundly asleep on jericos chest who was looking up at the ceiling in love.
Maybe shed tell him

Hey so I saw you mention top surgery and was curious. I was supposed to be having top surgery this summer but that’s postponed. I was curious how that went with chronic pain? I’m scared about the surgical binder with my fibro and back pain. Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated!! (You can answer privately if you prefer)
ive actually been meaning to write up a big post on this pretty much since i had top surgery but still haven't got around to it yet so I'm happy to talk about it lol. ill go over stuff now n still aim to do a more in depth post later when im on my laptop (but writing this now bc i tend to forget everything haha). ill stick to the more fibro / chronic illness specific stuff & stuff i wasnt expecting rather than rehashing everything. apologies im on mobile so i cant put this under a cut
firstly, im sorry ur surgery got postponed! i know that must be gutting, so i hope it gets rescheduled asap & the time until then passes easily for u ❤️
I had double incision with free nipple grafts on the 4th of september 2019 with Mr Miles Berry at the london wellbeck hospital. i think he did an amazing job and can't recommend him enough for his work! i think the last pics i took of my chest were for tdov, and ill rb them after i post this for reference. i didnt have drains at any point of the surgery
for ppl with fibro, i was told that the pain after surgery either tends to trigger a flareup, or be really easily manageable, and it's hard to predict which it will be beforehand. its best to prepare for a flareup and be pleasently surprised if u dont get one. for me, i had a flareup that sucked but wasnt too bad as far as flareups go
you'll probably get given painkillers. take them regularly. it's easier to treat pain preemptively. if u don't get given them (no idea how it works outside of the uk) id say def get codine and paracetamol. u can't take ibuprofen for a while
i woke up from aneasthetic freezing cold + in a lot of pain. apparently most ppl dont need the full dose of morphine, but i did. after that it was a bit better. i was just So Goddamn Hungry literally it's all i was talking about
that night in hospital was probably one of the most uncomfortable in my life. you have to sleep sitting up for like blood reasons, so my back pain was quite bad bc of it. moving around a bit and adjusting pillows helped. if u have anything that normally helps ur back pain bring it with u to the hospital, & dont be afraid to ask the nurses for help with it (even if they can just adjust ur pillows for u). i couldnt rly sleep much but distraction helps. bring ur phone + headphones. i did a few ask memes when i couldnt sleep
the first week from surgery was rly tough, the first few days especially. this was bc i still had to sleep elevated for a few days and i couldnt get comfortable. i was too exhausted to do anything but couldn't sleep and it rly started to get me down. then i got some sleeping tablets (just nytol) and that helped so much. i literally cannot recommend it enough bc the not sleeping properly made everything hard (and like esp because with fibro the whole pain/fatigue/depression cycle is so real). once i started sleeping better recovery became a lot easier, and the tablets made the awkward sleeping positions more manageable. if i had to give only one bit of advice this would be it
on that note, ik everyone says this but do get a V pillow. it helps u adjust to sleeping on ur back and if u sleep on ur side normally it means u can like lean slightly sideways on it which makes it sm easier. also this isn't even top related but they make good back pillows when ur watching stuff in bed even now
get urself some video games (if ur into them) and easy entertainment shows lined up for when u wanna have them. recovering from major surgery makes ur fatigue even more pronounced so ur not going to be able to do all that much, but having light entertainment ready to go stops u getting as bored. its also a good excuse to finally play/watch the things you've been meaning to for a while
go outside when u can. if u have a garden just walk around it. it helps with a lot of stuff, and idk about u but i always forget how much it does. even just helping u sleep better if u get trapped in a fibro fatigued-but-can't-sleep cycle. and it goes so far helping u feel human in the first week
the first week is rly hard for a lot of ppl - its frustrating to have all that pain and exhaustion and not being able to wash or change the binder, and with the swelling and bandages under the binder it doesn't really feel like there's much change, which all sort of adds together. i keep going on about this week bc it helps to mentally prepare for it - there's no need to dread it, you just need to remind urself how worth it itll all be and that the rest of recovery is a lot better than the first part, and in time it won't have seemed that bad. big picture stuff
when u get the chest reveal, everything's better. i didnt stop smiling. and when u put the post op binder on afterwards, without all the bandaging, u like feel for the first time how much flatter u are??? and its amazing. even with the swelling. and then u get to shower and u feel human again and its great. (ik some ppl have their post ops/chest reveals much earlier than a week, but 5 days to a week is pretty standard in the uk. mine was 6 days i think)
more post op binder stuff: i got given 2. the first one i woke up in after the surgery and wasn't allowed to take off until my post op, and the second one i got given at my post op to change into after i showered. After that i alternated every few days. whatever u get given, if u get less than 2 i recommend getting another one so u can alternate them (if u want help sourcing them hmu. ive also still got mine i need to give away)
the post op binders were actually a lot easier to wear full time than normal binders. they were like more stretchy, and stretchy the full way round (bc they dont have the compression bit at the front). i used to sleep in my normal binder every time i slept with my ex, and that hurt like a motherfuck sometimes. the post op binder was much kinder to my ribs
i had to wear the post op binder full time, taking it off like once a day to shower n let my chest breathe (and massage my scars once i started that). some surgeons arent that strict abt wearing it that long, but it really helps swelling, & bc i didnt have drains it was rly important to stop fluid buildup. ik quite a few guys in my trans groups who stopped wearing their binder fairly early and then got quite a lot of swelling so i didn't want to risk it & i wore it for the full 6 weeks. at some point (icr when but maybe at 6 weeks? bc my post op was at 8 weeks bc he was on holiday) i didnt wear it during the day and only wore it at night
all in all the binder didnt bother me that much. it was more comfortable than my regular binders and i just kinda got on with it. it was annoying tho and i was glad when i could stop wearing it. for me the most annoying part was that it was a full length binder (i always wore half length before) and the riding up at the hips was rly irritating. i actually quite liked sleeping with it tho it was a pretty nice pressure stim ahah
some post op binders r more comfortable than others. if u have to buy ur own, i rly suggest going with a proper surgical one (they arent too hard to find second hand for free or cheap, again im happy to help here) bc they're kinder to chronic pain. i know that having a comfortable post op binder made it all a lot easier for me. there are also lots of alternatives w lots of price ranges tho, so that's not ur only option
ok i think thats everything right now! sorry its so long, but let me know if u have any questions!!
finally: before i got top ppl told me that its honestly life changing, and i didnt realise how true that would be. literally every single aspect of my life is at least partially better because of it, and most of them drastically so. I'm really excited for you to get that for yourself, and im wishing u all the best for it 💕

Premier League 2017 -1 8 preview No10: Liverpool | Andy Hunter
Jrgen Klopps Liverpool are attuned now to his methods but whether they have the defensive quality for a shot at the claim may be clearer when the assign opening closes

Last seasons plight 4th
Odds to triumph the conference( via Oddschecker ) 12 -1
It is an riling characteristic of the Premier League epoch for Liverpool that a season of sincere advancement often predates a change but Jrgen Klopp is reassured the round will be broken. The extra necessitates of Europe and a patient, high-risk transport strategy that has yet to pay off provide bar proofs to the Liverpool managers sentiment. They should not distract from what is at Klopps disposal, however. Consistency, he has insisted, will ensure Liverpool do not merely flirt with a claim defy this season. Numerous, though not all, of the segments are in place.
As was the action last-place summertime, before he guided Liverpool back into the top four for the only second time in eight seasons, Klopp has been unperturbed by the external nervousness that circumvented the associations transmit business when compared against contenders in the top six. Tottenham Hotspur are, of course, the conspicuous objection. At this degree in the window the nervousnes is justifiable. The final steps Klopp had envisaged for the coming expedition have proved the hardest to take.
RB Leipzig have been as good as their repeated term that Naby Keta is not for sale despite Liverpool deferring golf-club evidence offers of 57m and 66 m for the midfielder and his openness to the move. Stake in Kylian Mbapp has revealed how Anfield agents always supposed it would: with Real Madrid rowing up a staggering offer for the Monaco send. And there was the aborted move for Virgil van Dijk, a setback that demonstrated the color of a difficult space for Liverpool and evidenced Klopp that even the briefest inspect to Blackpool where he supposedly tapped-up Southamptons team captain can have injury repercussions.
Liverpools interest in the command Holland international is not over despite publicly evacuated from the race for the 60 m-rated champion when Southampton reported them to the Premier League over an illegal approach. A preliminary investigation ended without charge due to lack of manifestation and Liverpool will return for Van Dijk should Southampton indicate they will part with their wantaway centre-half. The pursuit of Keta is expected to be parked under next summertime when his 55 m liberate rider kicks in. Add into the concoction Barcelonas interest in Philippe Coutinho and a feeling of displeasure is legitimate, although there are still four weeks for Van Dijk to arrive, others to follow and what has already taken condition at Anfield this summer signals better ahead.
Interactive
Liverpool have the will and the money to sign van Dijk and Keta but not a room to break the resolve of Southampton and Leipzig respectively. That was always the inherent threat in Klopp targeting a few top-class ascents to heighten Liverpool from fourth into title allegation, rather than the wholesale changes that have characterised recent summers in L4. He has also been reluctant to consider alternatives as the waiting game over van Dijk supports. The success of that approach will be uncovered formerly the transfer window ends and Champions League commitments arrive for a squad that benefited from a European-free season last-place time out, delivering the play-offs are navigated successfully later this month.
For a manager who prays consistency and medals stability, however, the existing footings are more important, and encouraging, than what is currently out of reaching. Klopp has a agreed squad attuned to his methods , no disruption to been confronted with and an improved luxury of options in the final one-third. Liverpool would bask job opportunities in the Champions League against adversaries who, like Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup on Tuesday, are more open to attack than numerous in the Premier League.
The pursuit of quality over sum is another manifestation of recent change at Anfield. Liverpool possess a force fit for Champions League qualification, one that finished above Arsenal and Manchester United last-place season and created some refreshing executions when developing as Chelseas closest challengers before Christmas. Title pretensions vaporized at the turn of the year when Liverpool, to use their administrators debate, absence the degree to deal with a frenetic fixture planned, a run to the League Cup semi-finals, injuries and Sadio Mans departure to the Africa Cup of Nations. The crew necessity strengthening in center midfield and center apology but it has undoubtedly improved.
Reinforcement so far is essentially centred on Liverpools strongest department, attack, where Mohamed Salah has joined for a sorority enter 36.9 m from AS Roma and Dominic Solanke has arrived in search of greater opportunity than he found at Chelsea. A tribunal will decide the compensation cost payable on a striker who starred in Englands exultant Under-2 0s World Cup campaign and has shown in pre-season that his involvement will not be confined to the under-2 3s unit, as Klopp initially suggested.
Salah has shone in pre-season, three years after repudiating a proposed 8m move to Liverpool in favour of an ill-fated charm at Stamford Bridge. The Egypt international has played on the right of Klopps forwards wrinkle, with Man labor his behavior back to full fitness, and his velocity, labor pace and end product have already been affected. The potential of Salah and Man terrorising defences from all angles and feeding off the smart awareness of Roberto Firmino, is tantalising for Klopp. Make other crews crazy with the qualities we have, the manager has said. Equally comfy on the left, Salah ensures Liverpool will not be as reliant on Man for tempo and causes Coutinho licence to dictate play from a deeper situate. The Anfield club are adamant the Brazil international will not be sold the summer months despite continued interest from a Neymar-less Barcelona.
Interactive
In Coutinho, Salah, Man, Firmino, Daniel Sturridge who had payed Klopps approval with his sharpness this summer only to abide a thigh injury while scoring in the 3-0 demolish of Bayern Solanke, Divock Origi and the fit-again Danny Ings, Liverpool boast a formidable array of strikers. They will be needed. Klopps side often faced, and drudged against, resists who sat back en masse and played on the attack last-place season. It was not only a repetition topic at Anfield, with squads prepared to concede soil at home to combat Klopps style. Jordan Hendersons they are able to pull and swap the participate was missed after he suffered another debilitating foot harm. Liverpools captain can ill-afford a repeat while their director compels more throughout center midfield, as the Keta quest indicates.
Klopp has identified where improvement will be necessary for his team to make an impact in Europe and slake the organizations desperate craving for a first tournament name since 1990. Our great challenge is to be stronger defensively as a team, to be more concentrated, more focused in situations, he said this summer. We know what the issue is. He said the same last season, more, but set pieces and counterattacks continued to cost Liverpool.

Competition for James Milners place at left-back has arrived in the form of Andy Robertson, an initial 8m ratify from Hull City. Central defence remains a concern without van Dijk and, despite his excellent word at the hind end of last-place season and impressive reaction to the arrival of Loris Karius, Simon Mignolet faces a challenge to retain the No1 spot all over again. Injuries, a major factor in Januarys downturn according to Klopp, would have an impact on a force facing a most demanding workload this season. Liverpool must also show greater mental resilience under pressure if, as their manager has territory, it needed only a draw at Sunderland to broadcast disbelieve in his actors two days after they had beaten Manchester City at Anfield.
A striking peculiarity of Klopps Liverpool reign so far has been the extent of individual progress, Adam Lallana being a prime example, and with no substantial retirements to contend with the manager can rest assured of maintaining that upward trajectory. He also has youngsters of sincere promise who have been carefully integrated into the first-team spotlight such as Ben Woodburn and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Rhian Brewster, a 17 -year-old striker acquired from Chelsea, could be next. Nathaniel Clyne may be an England regular but he faces a intense challenge for his right-back role this season from Alexander-Arnold. The 18 -year-old from Liverpool has induced no secret of his ambition to command his boyhood society and has clutched the luck afforded by Clynes injury in pre-season.
Liverpool are sanctified with pace, assaulting prowess, stability and a balanced crew. Whether they will have the required excellence in center midfield and apology, however, may rest on ending the resolve of Southampton and RB Leipzig.

Notes taken during Super Bowl XXVIII
PREGAME
This is the Channel 4 version of an NBC broadcast. Again. Dick Enberg on PBP. Trumpy on color commentary.
Enberg: Both kickers are Canadian. Steve Christie and Eddie Murray.
FIRST QUARTER
Huge kickoff return from Kevin Williams on the opening kick. Nearly takes it to the house. Returns it to the Buffalo 48.
First play from scrimmage: Aikman to Irvin across the middle for 20 yards. Bills blitzed and went single coverage and got burned.
Cowboy drive stalls there. Aikman didn't see an uncovered Alvin Harper on third down. Would have been an easy touchdown, but he threw to Williams instead.
Dallas settles for an Eddie Murray field goal. 3-0, 2:19 into the game.
Bills moving the ball well on this drive. 24 yard swing pass from Kelly to Thomas beats the Dallas blitz. Buffalo is inside the Dallas 40.
Enberg: Bills RB Kenneth Davis owns an auto repair shop in Dallas. He got a bunch of crap last year after the Super Bowl.
Third and 7, Bill Brooks drops what would have been a first down. Steve Christie will come on to attempt a long field goal. 54 yards. It'd be a Super Bowl record. And it is. Would have been good from 60. Tie game, 3-3.
Hey, that's not Mick Luckhurst. Someone new is hosting for Channel 4. Bob Golic and Mike Sherrard are the expert commentators. UK host takes a swipe at Scott Norwood in referencing that Christie field goal. Not cool, man. Not cool. Scott is family for Bills fans.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sounds like a pro-Bills crowd. They let loose with a "BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE" after Bruce Smith stuffed Emmitt Smith.
Third and 11, Aikman trips over an offensive lineman's foot on the snap. He gets up but gets sacked anyway.
Tumblr media
Tasker gets held flagrantly (and facemasked) as he attempts to block the punt. No call. Bills take over at their 41.
Tumblr media
This is a violation of the agreed-upon rules.
Thurman Thomas fumbles on the first play of the drive. Dallas recovers at midfield. Washington forced the fumble. Woodson recovered.
Aikman sees Harper open this time. Gains around 25 on a down and in. Tackled at the Bills' 15.
End around to Kevin Williams. It's not a reverse, dammit. Gains six yards.
Enberg: Marvcus Patton's mom was a pro football player for the LA Dandelions.
Tumblr media
Cowboys stall again in scoring position. Murray hits a chip shot. 6-3 Dallas.
Bills moving the ball well, but Bill Brooks drops another pass on third down. Great throw, just dropped. Argh.
Dallas gives the Bills a get out of jail free card. They run into the punter on fourth and 3. Buffalo has it, 1st and 10 at its own 46.
Tumblr media
Punters aren’t supposed to be on their back.
Jim Jeffcoat hits Thurman Thomas almost immediately after the handoff. A weird-looking play - It almost looked like Thomas didn't even try to get away, but I imagine he didn't expect to have a 300 pound dude falling on top of him the moment he got the ball.
Buffalo still moving the ball as the first quarter ends. Kelly to Andre Reed, down to the Dallas 34. 6-3 Dallas after a quarter.
SECOND QUARTER
Andre Reed is in pain. Reed's right leg bent funny when he got tackled at the end of the first quarter.
Cutaway: Former heavyweight champion Ken Norton Sr. Enberg says the Nortons are feuding.
Tumblr media
Trumpy: Bills are throwing the ball all over the place, throwing well. High percentage stuff, short passes underneath.
Kenneth Davis with a nice run up the middle, gets around 10 yards, inside the 20.
Third and 3, Kelly to Beebe for a first down at the Dallas 5.
Cowboys DBs are trying to strip the ball on nearly every tackle.
First and goal, Thomas dances his way into the end zone. Touchdown. 10-6 Buffalo.
Tumblr media
Trumpy: "That was a beautiful drive."
17 plays, 80 yards, nearly 7:30 of possession on that drive.
Golic: Bills needed to stretch the Dallas defense laterally, Kenneth Davis did that and it opened up the middle for Thomas.
Host asks Golic whether that drive will give the Bills the confidence to play their normal game, instead of doing what they did in the last two Super Bowls. Golic says yes, it would certainly make it easier if you stuck with your gameplan instead of throwing it away.
Speaking of sticking with your gameplan, the Cowboys run another deep in route on the first play of their next drive. Aikman to Irvin for 15.
Now Emmitt Smith up the middle, rumbles to the Buffalo 49.
Cutaway: Dallas backup QB Bernie Kosar.
Tumblr media
Trumpy says Aikman told him he was having trouble sleeping and doing basic things after a concussion in the last game. Aikman said he didn't tell his coach or trainer. This was meant as a funny anecdote, but kind of makes me feel icky.
Bills continuing to do what they've done. They're moving the ball 5-10 yards at a time, methodically moving up the field. Kelly has plenty of time to throw.
Kelly: 13-16, 127 yards. Enberg says he hasn't thrown an interception in 14+ quarters.
Kelly fires deep down the left sideline to Beebe. Just barely overthrows him. Trumpy says that play is intended to make sure Dallas knows they're willing to throw deep.
Tumblr media
Third down, Dallas with seven defensive backs and a defensive lineman dropping back into coverage. Nearly picked off by Kevin Smith, but Smith drops it and they'll punt.
Great punt by Mohr, all kinds of hang time, caught by Steve Tasker at the 1. Trumpy: Tasker is the first player Levy went out and got when he took over in Buffalo.
Tumblr media
Cowboys offense moving in fits and starts, but they've made it into Buffalo territory. Less than 2:00 left in the half.
A short pass to Emmitt Smith gets Dallas to the Bills' 32. Being the smart player he always was, Emmitt gets out of bounds to stop the clock.
Aikman drops to pass, nearly has the ball knocked out of his hand by an onrushing Bruce Smith. Nate Odomes picks it off, returning it 40 yards into Dallas territory.
Swing pass to Thurman Thomas for 13. Inside the Cowboys' 35. 0:36 left in the half.
Andre Reed wide open, gets to the 12. For some reason, he doesn't get out of bounds. Bills burn their second timeout. Argh. Get out of bounds, Andre. 0:27 left in the half.
Kelly: 17-23, 173 yards. Has thrown 126 consecutive passes without an interception.
Second and 9, Kelly throws an ill-advised pass as he gets pressured. THROW IT AWAY, JIM. Goes through McKeller's hands, maybe should have been picked but wasn't.
After a Thurman Thomas shovel pass, the Bills use their last timeout with 0:02 left on the clock. Steve Christie comes on to attempt a field goal.
Enberg: Steve Christie replaced Scott Norwood, who missed blah blah blah wide right.
Trumpy opines that nobody in Buffalo will ever forgive Norwood for that, ever. Perhaps he missed the time, a couple days after the miss, when tens of thousands of Bills fans chanted Norwood's name and cheered him wildly when he spoke. F that noise, Trumpy. We protect our own.
Norwood splits the uprights. The underdog Bills lead Dallas 13-6 at halftime.
Tumblr media
THIRD QUARTER
Okay, second half. Here we go. Time to watch my heart break in real time for the fourth week in a row.
Bills get the opening kickoff. Al Edwards takes it out to the 25 or so. Kevin Smith, the Cowboys' best cover man, is injured and it looks fairly serious. Eventually he gets up and walks off under his own power.
Tumblr media
Buffalo moving the ball well early in the second half. Thomas up the middle, then a short hitch to Bill Brooks out to the 43.
Third play of the Bills' drive, Thomas fumbles on a run up the middle. The Cowboys' James Washington picks it up and weaves his way through the Buffalo offense for a touchdown. 13-13 tie, less than a minute into the second half. Leon Lett stripped the ball from Thomas, atoning for last year's botched fumble return.
Tumblr media
I hate this so much.
Decent kick return from Copeland, out to the 35 or so and the Bills start again.
Trumpy: If things go badly, Thurman Thomas can begin to turn on himself and struggle.
Tumblr media
Speaking of things going badly, Jim Kelly is sacked on third and long. Buffalo goes three and out. This half almost couldn't have started any worse. Dallas starts at its own 36 after the punt.
Trumpy: This is a dangerous drive for the Bills. If Dallas scores here, it will give them a psychological boost.
Cowboys driving, pounding the ball with Emmitt Smith. Into Bills territory. Trumpy says the team that adjusts better at halftime generally wins. That's obviously been Dallas so far.
Emmitt blasting his way through the defensive line. Another chunk of yardage, inside the 25.
Cutaway: Bills LB Darryl Talley injured on the sideline. Shoulder injury, it seems.
Now Bruce Smith is injured. Trumpy suggests maybe he hit his "crazy bone" on the Astroturf. Talley comes back onto the field.
Not that it matters. Emmitt Smith is unstoppable. He almost singlehandedly took them the whole way down the field. Breaks a Jeff Wright tackle and gets into the end zone. 61 yards rushing, just on that drive. 20-13 Dallas.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Le sigh.
Bills DL Phil Hansen injured on the touchdown.
Buffalo offense trying to get Thurman Thomas back up emotionally.
Enberg: This possession for Kelly and Thurman Thomas, if they go three and out, we may have just seen the end of the game.
Big return from Beebe on the kickoff. Finds a seam and gets out to the 36.
Kenneth Davis starts the next drive at RB for the Bills. He gets decked in the backfield on a screen pass. Loss of 8.
Davis gains 18 yards rushing on the next two plays, just barely gets a first down at the Buffalo 46.
Now a completion to Bill Brooks, gets into Dallas territory with a first down at the 43.
Cowboys go to a 4-0-7 defense on third and long. Kelly throws incomplete and the Bills will punt. A poor punt from Mohr, 22 yards and out of bounds at the Dallas 23.
Tumblr media
I know, Jim. I know. I feel it too.
Dallas doesn't do much and will punt. Downed at the Buffalo 15. 3:05 left in the third quarter.
Enberg: Cramps are keeping Thurman Thomas on the sideline. I was just about to say that Kenneth Davis was dramatically outplaying Thurman, and then Davis dropped a direct snap. Chris Mohr comes on to boot it away.
Lincoln Coleman (who?) is in the backfield for the Cowboys. No word on Emmitt Smith's health. Looking it up, he's an ex-Arena Leaguer, was the third running back behind Smith and Derrick Lassic. Coleman ran for 57 yards in the Thanksgiving Day ice bowl against Miami, the one Leon Lett lost with a brain fade.
Cowboys go three-and-out, and we seem to have settled into a field position battle. Somewhere in Youngstown, Jim Tressel smiles.
Third quarter ends. It's a 7-point Dallas lead. The Bills have the ball and are still in it.
Golic: The Bills aren't doing anything dramatic or remarkable right now, but they're not letting Dallas get momentum.
Channel 4 shows the Phil Hansen injury. Blame Astroturf - his foot planted, then didn't move when someone fell on his leg.
Channel 4 host suggests Thurman Thomas isn't suffering from cramps, but is suffering from embarrassment. I really don't like this guy.
FOURTH QUARTER
First play of the quarter: Kelly telegraphs a throw to Don Beebe. James Washington picks it off. That was Kelly's first interception in 16 quarters, 140 passes.
Cowboys getting the ball to Emmitt Smith on the ground and through the air. He takes it to the Buffalo 25 for a first down. Trumpy says he wants to watch this game again and count Emmitt's broken tackles.
Bills blitz, leave Nate Odomes in single coverage on Alvin Harper, and it's first and goal at the 5 after a 20 yard completion.
Third and goal, Emmitt Smith tackled inside the 1. Cowboys will go for it on fourth down.
Tumblr media
Touchdown. Emmitt goes left on a pitch and makes it to the end zone without much trouble. 27-13 Cowboys.
Emmitt: 25 rushes, 117 yards, 2 touchdowns
Bills moving the ball a bit on the next drive, but the clock is at 8:00, they're at their own 35, and they need two unanswered touchdowns.
And as soon as I say that, the drive stalls. Kelly sacked on third and 10. Chris Mohr will punt, and I suspect we're about to see a whole lot of Emmitt Smith.
Poor kick. Cowboys take over near midfield with exactly 7:00 on the clock.
Smith: 340 touches this season, 1 fumble.
Cowboys drive: Run, run, short play-action pass. First down. Clock still rolling.
Enberg: No team in the history of American professional pro sports has lost the championship four years in a row. Bills: Hold our beer.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
4:17 left on the clock. Cowboys still have the ball. Aikman goes deep to Irvin, trying to twist the knife and end it. Just barely overthrows him.
Enberg: 1988 draft top three WRs: Sterling Sharpe, Tim Brown, Michael Irvin. So that was good.
Aikman goes deep to Harper. Tackled at the 1. First and goal. Cowboys call timeout with 3:23 left on the clock.
Tumblr media
Trumpy: Do we talk dynasty for the Cowboys? Enberg: The scary thing is that the Cowboys are such a young team. This might be the end for the Bills' dynasty, but the Cowboys will be around for a while. 
Enberg: If Emmitt Smith scores a rushing touchdown, he would be the first to score three in one Super Bowl. Trumpy: Well, let's give it to Emmitt.
After a false start penalty, Smith gets back to the 1 on first down. Second and goal from the 1, Daryl Johnston stuffed.
Trumpy: Emmitt Smith was the first Dallas Cowboy to be named NFL MVP.
Enberg: Thurman Thomas and Emmitt Smith are close friends, worked out together last offseason.
Trumpy: It's almost painful to look at the Buffalo bench. Almost, Bob? ALMOST?!?
Bills call timeout after Johnston's second down run. Third and goal from the 1. 3:01 left.
Buffalo stuffs Emmitt on third down. They call their final timeout. 2:54 left. Eddie Murray on to put it away with a chip shot.
Yep. Got it. 30-13 Cowboys. 2:50 left.
Trumpy: Bill Bates, Jim Jeffcoat, and Mark Tuinei are the only players left from the Tom Landry era in Dallas.
Cutaway: Bernie Kosar being congratulated by teammates.
Tumblr media
Bills moving the ball down the middle against a very loose Cowboys defense keeping everything in front of them. Well, they were until Keith McKeller got called for offensive pass interference.
Two minute warning. Bills still have the ball, but it's academic at this point.
On third down, Kelly rushed and tries to throw the ball in desperation to offensive lineman Glenn Parker. It's knocked down and somehow there's no intentional grounding penalty.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fourth down conversion: Kelly to Brooks down the middle to the 30. 1:20 and counting.
A weird play on first down. None of the linemen do anything, for either team. They all just kind of stand there, except for Jeffcoat, who decks Kelly on an incompletion.
Bills get inside the 20 on this drive, but nobody really thinks it matters.
Fourth and long, Kelly throws to Beebe, it's complete and Beebe immediately goes out of bounds. Which would have been smart if he weren't way short of the first down marker.
Emmitt Smith is the MVP.
Tumblr media
Bernie Kosar takes the final snap and takes a knee. Game over. 30-13.
Tumblr media
POSTGAME
Immediately after the game, Emmitt Smith went to console Thurman Thomas, who told Emmitt that Smith is the best running back in the NFL. Smith returned the favor.
Tumblr media
Enberg on Smith calling Thomas the best: "That's kind, even if it's not necessarily correct." Harrumph.
Golic: Bills came out and played well, but it was like one play (the fumble recovery touchdown) completely destroyed them.
Sherrard: Cowboys will keep this team together for a long time.
Golic: Bills aren't losers, they're the second-best team in the NFL for four years in a row. They see themselves as a very strong, very successful team.
Sherrard: Emmitt Smith is the offensive MVP. Golic: James Washington is the defensive MVP.
Host: Jimmy Johnson may want to leave Dallas and coach an expansion team. Golic: Jerry Jones won't want him to leave. Jones: Hold my beer and watch this.
Jerry Jones: This is possible because Jimmy Johnson has given everything he had since he got there, and his spirit is reflected in the way this team plays.
Jimmy Johnson: People say we've been at each other's throats. When you win Super Bowls, the only things you're going to do with each other's throats is hug them.
Tumblr media
Johnson: Didn't change much at halftime. We made some mistakes in the first half, second half, they made more mistakes than we did. Bills are an excellent team, otherwise they wouldn't have been here four years in a row.
Host: Sounds like Johnson wants to stay. Golic: We'll see what happens. I don't think Johnson's going to want to sue, and will honor his contract.
Apparently the host is Gary Imlach. Good to know.

The Witcher And The Baker
(Ok to rb! This is the first time I write a geralt fic that I actually like! So please rb with nice words!,even if you dont know the Netflix series or the games!go off!)
Tumblr media
《~♡~♡~♡~♡》
"There's an inn down the road"they said to geralt.
Its not an inn, Its a damn lodging house instead of an inn!the thing was huge!.
--In what can I help you--said the inn Keeper, a young woman with white dragon horns and a sunflower apron said.
--Ill be staying here for a while--geralt answered in his short and dry tone--How much Is it going to be?.
--well,since youre going to become a regular then I guess I should Lower the price,how About 20 gold coins--the inn keepers voice was sweet and soft spoken, and it made the witchers cheeks burn Pink.
--O oh okay--he said, clearing his throat--wheres my room?
The Man sets the coins down and the woman grabs it, putting in a chest under the counter and then walking to the Man.
--Follow me, over here
She kept her soft tone, and they walked down a corridor.
Geralt was baffled,no inn keeper had treated Him like that, softly and kindly as she did.
then they turned the corner and the second room they stop.
--Here it is,it has a bathroom and its own kitchen but if by any chance you cant Cook please tell me and ill do it for you
--Please,you have already been too kind-- the witchers dry tone seemed softer as well as his expression.
--Have I?--she giggles, smiling--please, go and rest, enjoy your stay...
--Thank you-- he nodds and enters the room, sighing as his body relaxes.
He leaves the weapons on the table,and takes off the heavy armor, laying on the bed, its comfortable and the matress ,it sinks under his weight.
How on earth did she even get matresses that comfortable?and charge so low for it?.
Then he freezes as he hears a soft lullaby being sang.
His dorm happened to be just behind the kitchen, the smell of baked goods started to make him feel sleepy.
When was the last time he had slept well?, when was the last time he slept?.
He cant really think of an answer, the inn keepers soft voice was luring him to sleep.
The place was just the right ammount of warm, the matress was made by the gods, and the covers of fur werent itchy, was geralt on the heaven itself?.
He flips on his side covering his body with the blanket,it had been a long day of witcher fuckery, and it was only noon.
His body was asking him to sleep.
And so heavy eyelids Turned into closed eyes.
And then he fell asleep.
Its late afternoon, geralt wakes up with a soft knock on his door.
--Sir?--The inn keepers voice asked-- I have some snacks and tea ready, come by if you want some, free of charge!
The Man grunts in response, he sits on the bed and stretches his neck, hearing the womans steps Fade away.
He sighs and goes into the shower, warm water too? What was up with this place.
Now, after a quick shower, he Walked back to the counter, there were some tables and some other people there staying.
He sat alone right at the table for two besides the Window.
He looks outside, its raining..
Good thing he left roach with the stable boy.
--Hmm there you are!--The inn keeper said putting down a tray of baked goods and tea on the table--May I sit?
Geralt couldnt help but smile,and nodded--of course...
She sits Infront of him,brushing a strand of chocolate brown hair behind her ear.
--I suppose since youre going to stay for a while we might as well get to know eachother, im jerico, jerico von terra
--Geralt--the Man said, shaking jericos hand.
--Well geralt, shall we?
He particularly didnt drink tea or was concerned on eating pastries or sweet things at all, but this time hed figured he would give himself a treat.
--i dont like to talk much--he said after drinking a bit of his tea.
--Its alright--she said--we can Keep silent if you want
His smile grew, nodding again.
And so they ate silently.
And well, poor geralt couldnt help but look at her, jerico had big green eyes like emeralds, soft cherry lips, and a beautiful porcelain skin.
He wanted to sigh in love.
The kindness was too much for him, maybe because he isnt used to it,maybe because it was New.
Whatever it was, he was starting to grow fond of it.
And sure,he had some questions about her, dragonborns werent well liked, but the people in town seemed to be very fond of the inn keeper.
--Dont look too much or youll pluck your eyes out
Jeri said giggling.
The Mans cheeks burn red.
--I didnt mean to stare...
--Dont worry about it
After 'tea time' geralt went back to his room.
He was internally hitting his head against the wall.
What was up with him?he asked himself.
He only hoped it wouldnt Keep him up all night.
And so days Turned to weeks, and weeks in months.
--So, mighty witcher-- jerico said, trying to annoy geralt as he helped around in the kitchen.
--Dont test me jerico....
--oh but I want to know, how was todays hunt?
The Man looks over to her with a brow raised--are you trying to bake me something again using your "cake scale"?
--no.......
It had become a habit for jerico to bake stuff for him.
The "cake scale" was measured in,the harder the hunt,the bigger the cake would be.
--Jerico I still have some cake from last weeks hunt you dont need to
--But geralt! I want to!--jer said,pouting Like a kid.
--Fine, it was alright-- she always gets him with those puppy dog eyes-- not to hard, but I did hit my back against a rock pretty badly
--then thats a medium cake,chocolate with lemon drizzle then?
He smirks,she knew him too well--vanilla, actually
--Okay then witcher go rest!
--Jerico--
--geralt--
The Man grunts and corners the woman against the kitchens counter one of his hands cups her cheek and the other cages her.
His eyes were pitch black, his skin dead pale.
Hea afraid he scared her,until with red cheeks she wiggled her brows and giggled.
--i didnt knew this side of you geralt, Pretty cool~
he groans letting her free-- is everything a joke to you?
--Maybe yes maybe not, go and rest come on
The Man sighs, its useless to argue with her.
He says a soft goodbye,and back in his room he sats there on his bed.
He had been cooking up these feelings for his inn keeper friend, he couldnt help but feel bubbly around her, the way she always treated him with respect and kindness.
How she braids his hair when he knows hes going on a long hunt that Will make taking care of his hair a living nightmare.
How she treats his wounds, scolding Him about it.
And how shed wake him up with a soft tone and her hand lightly stroking his hair,asking Him to wake up.
And he knew he wanted his life to be like that for ever.
An hour or so later jerico knocks on the door, with that softness that was so characteristic of her.
He opened the door with a big goofy smile.
--Hey
--hey, heres your cake
He took the Plate quickly leaving it on the table then back at the door leaning on the door sill.
--Ive got to ask you something
--Sure, shoot
--so...--geralt said trying to find the right words--when we first met you treated me with respect,you didnt fear me nor did you treat me poorly, why?
Jer raises an eyebrow leaning with her elbow on the wall.
--Well,because youre human too, and you deserve the same kindness as everyone else
And thats when it clicked for him, he wanted her by his side forever.
--And another thing
--hmm?
--Would you like to eat this cake with me?and I can tell you more about the hunt
Jeris eyes lit up and nodds.
She comes in, sitting with him at the table as both drink some tea, jerico listens to geralt talk about todays hunt, very invested in It.
Then geralt takes her hand, gripping it softly as he finished his tale.
--I really dont know how to go about this, so ill just say it, jerico...I like you, you have been always so sweet to me,youve spoiled me with things and I feel like I cant ever repay you for this, so let me try to make this up to you by giving you my love if you feel the same as I do
Jerico grips geralts hand and she smiles,a big grin.
She almost jumps out of his Seat, and as the Man stands up jer jumps on him, the witcher catching the dragonborn by her legs who wrap around his waist.
--you have no idea for how long have I waited to admit my feelings towards you,guess youve won this time, mighty witcher.
--dont try and test me now--he said clearly joking.
--you dont scare me--and with that she cupped his cheeks and kissed him.
He sets her on the table hugging her waist while his other hand cups her cheek, caressing it.
--And im glad I dont...
--youre such a dork
And that sent him back to his usual grumpy expression .
--Theres my geralt
--Jerico...do not test me
His eyes went black again.
--Oh you know I will...
Geralt sighs in annoyance,Why does he even try with her?

Premier League 2017 -1 8 preview No10: Liverpool | Andy Hunter
Jrgen Klopps Liverpool are attuned now to his methods but whether they have the defensive quality for a shot at the claim may be clearer when the assign opening closes
Guardian writers prophesied location 5th( NB: this is no longer inevitably Andy Hunters prediction but the average of our writers gratuities)
Last seasons plight 4th
Odds to triumph the conference( via Oddschecker ) 12 -1
It is an riling characteristic of the Premier League epoch for Liverpool that a season of sincere advancement often predates a change but Jrgen Klopp is reassured the round will be broken. The extra necessitates of Europe and a patient, high-risk transport strategy that has yet to pay off provide bar proofs to the Liverpool managers sentiment. They should not distract from what is at Klopps disposal, however. Consistency, he has insisted, will ensure Liverpool do not merely flirt with a claim defy this season. Numerous, though not all, of the segments are in place.
As was the action last-place summertime, before he guided Liverpool back into the top four for the only second time in eight seasons, Klopp has been unperturbed by the external nervousness that circumvented the associations transmit business when compared against contenders in the top six. Tottenham Hotspur are, of course, the conspicuous objection. At this degree in the window the nervousnes is justifiable. The final steps Klopp had envisaged for the coming expedition have proved the hardest to take.
RB Leipzig have been as good as their repeated term that Naby Keta is not for sale despite Liverpool deferring golf-club evidence offers of 57m and 66 m for the midfielder and his openness to the move. Stake in Kylian Mbapp has revealed how Anfield agents always supposed it would: with Real Madrid rowing up a staggering offer for the Monaco send. And there was the aborted move for Virgil van Dijk, a setback that demonstrated the color of a difficult space for Liverpool and evidenced Klopp that even the briefest inspect to Blackpool where he supposedly tapped-up Southamptons team captain can have injury repercussions.
Liverpools interest in the command Holland international is not over despite publicly evacuated from the race for the 60 m-rated champion when Southampton reported them to the Premier League over an illegal approach. A preliminary investigation ended without charge due to lack of manifestation and Liverpool will return for Van Dijk should Southampton indicate they will part with their wantaway centre-half. The pursuit of Keta is expected to be parked under next summertime when his 55 m liberate rider kicks in. Add into the concoction Barcelonas interest in Philippe Coutinho and a feeling of displeasure is legitimate, although there are still four weeks for Van Dijk to arrive, others to follow and what has already taken condition at Anfield this summer signals better ahead.
Interactive
Liverpool have the will and the money to sign van Dijk and Keta but not a room to break the resolve of Southampton and Leipzig respectively. That was always the inherent threat in Klopp targeting a few top-class ascents to heighten Liverpool from fourth into title allegation, rather than the wholesale changes that have characterised recent summers in L4. He has also been reluctant to consider alternatives as the waiting game over van Dijk supports. The success of that approach will be uncovered formerly the transfer window ends and Champions League commitments arrive for a squad that benefited from a European-free season last-place time out, delivering the play-offs are navigated successfully later this month.
For a manager who prays consistency and medals stability, however, the existing footings are more important, and encouraging, than what is currently out of reaching. Klopp has a agreed squad attuned to his methods , no disruption to been confronted with and an improved luxury of options in the final one-third. Liverpool would bask job opportunities in the Champions League against adversaries who, like Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup on Tuesday, are more open to attack than numerous in the Premier League.
The pursuit of quality over sum is another manifestation of recent change at Anfield. Liverpool possess a force fit for Champions League qualification, one that finished above Arsenal and Manchester United last-place season and created some refreshing executions when developing as Chelseas closest challengers before Christmas. Title pretensions vaporized at the turn of the year when Liverpool, to use their administrators debate, absence the degree to deal with a frenetic fixture planned, a run to the League Cup semi-finals, injuries and Sadio Mans departure to the Africa Cup of Nations. The crew necessity strengthening in center midfield and center apology but it has undoubtedly improved.
Reinforcement so far is essentially centred on Liverpools strongest department, attack, where Mohamed Salah has joined for a sorority enter 36.9 m from AS Roma and Dominic Solanke has arrived in search of greater opportunity than he found at Chelsea. A tribunal will decide the compensation cost payable on a striker who starred in Englands exultant Under-2 0s World Cup campaign and has shown in pre-season that his involvement will not be confined to the under-2 3s unit, as Klopp initially suggested.
Salah has shone in pre-season, three years after repudiating a proposed 8m move to Liverpool in favour of an ill-fated charm at Stamford Bridge. The Egypt international has played on the right of Klopps forwards wrinkle, with Man labor his behavior back to full fitness, and his velocity, labor pace and end product have already been affected. The potential of Salah and Man terrorising defences from all angles and feeding off the smart awareness of Roberto Firmino, is tantalising for Klopp. Make other crews crazy with the qualities we have, the manager has said. Equally comfy on the left, Salah ensures Liverpool will not be as reliant on Man for tempo and causes Coutinho licence to dictate play from a deeper situate. The Anfield club are adamant the Brazil international will not be sold the summer months despite continued interest from a Neymar-less Barcelona.

In Coutinho, Salah, Man, Firmino, Daniel Sturridge who had payed Klopps approval with his sharpness this summer only to abide a thigh injury while scoring in the 3-0 demolish of Bayern Solanke, Divock Origi and the fit-again Danny Ings, Liverpool boast a formidable array of strikers. They will be needed. Klopps side often faced, and drudged against, resists who sat back en masse and played on the attack last-place season. It was not only a repetition topic at Anfield, with squads prepared to concede soil at home to combat Klopps style. Jordan Hendersons they are able to pull and swap the participate was missed after he suffered another debilitating foot harm. Liverpools captain can ill-afford a repeat while their director compels more throughout center midfield, as the Keta quest indicates.
Klopp has identified where improvement will be necessary for his team to make an impact in Europe and slake the organizations desperate craving for a first tournament name since 1990. Our great challenge is to be stronger defensively as a team, to be more concentrated, more focused in situations, he said this summer. We know what the issue is. He said the same last season, more, but set pieces and counterattacks continued to cost Liverpool.

Competition for James Milners place at left-back has arrived in the form of Andy Robertson, an initial 8m ratify from Hull City. Central defence remains a concern without van Dijk and, despite his excellent word at the hind end of last-place season and impressive reaction to the arrival of Loris Karius, Simon Mignolet faces a challenge to retain the No1 spot all over again. Injuries, a major factor in Januarys downturn according to Klopp, would have an impact on a force facing a most demanding workload this season. Liverpool must also show greater mental resilience under pressure if, as their manager has territory, it needed only a draw at Sunderland to broadcast disbelieve in his actors two days after they had beaten Manchester City at Anfield.
A striking peculiarity of Klopps Liverpool reign so far has been the extent of individual progress, Adam Lallana being a prime example, and with no substantial retirements to contend with the manager can rest assured of maintaining that upward trajectory. He also has youngsters of sincere promise who have been carefully integrated into the first-team spotlight such as Ben Woodburn and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Rhian Brewster, a 17 -year-old striker acquired from Chelsea, could be next. Nathaniel Clyne may be an England regular but he faces a intense challenge for his right-back role this season from Alexander-Arnold. The 18 -year-old from Liverpool has induced no secret of his ambition to command his boyhood society and has clutched the luck afforded by Clynes injury in pre-season.
Liverpool are sanctified with pace, assaulting prowess, stability and a balanced crew. Whether they will have the required excellence in center midfield and apology, however, may rest on ending the resolve of Southampton and RB Leipzig.

Premier League 2017 -1 8 preview No10: Liverpool | Andy Hunter
Jrgen Klopps Liverpool are attuned now to his methods but whether they have the defensive tone for a shot at the entitle may be clearer when the transfer space closes
Guardian writers prophesied post 5th( NB: this is not necessarily Andy Hunters prediction but the average of our writers tips-off)
Last-place seasons post 4th
Odds to acquire the league( via Oddschecker ) 12 -1
It is an riling characteristic of the Premier League period for Liverpool that a season of sincere change often predates a reversal but Jrgen Klopp is convinced the hertz will be broken. The extra requisitions of Europe and individual patients, high-risk carry-over programme that has yet to pay off afford counter disagreements to the Liverpool administrators ideology. They should not distract from what is at Klopps disposal, nonetheless. Consistency, he has insisted, will ensure Liverpool do not merely flirt with a title objection this season. Numerous, although not all, of the segments are in place.
As was the lawsuit last-place summer, before he guided Liverpool back into the top four for the only second time in eight seasons, Klopp has been unperturbed by the external feelings that bordered the golf-clubs carry business when compared with contenders in the top six. Tottenham Hotspur are, of course, the notable exception. At this spot in the window the feeling is understandable. The final steps Klopp had envisaged for the coming expedition have proved the hardest to take.
RB Leipzig have been as good as their recurred word that Naby Keta is not for sale despite Liverpool deferring fraternity evidence offers of 57m and 66 m for the midfielder and his openness to the move. Stake in Kylian Mbapp has undone how Anfield officials always believed it would: with Real Madrid stringing up a astounding furnish for the Monaco send. And there was the aborted move for Virgil van Dijk, a setback that proved the feeling of a difficult window for Liverpool and showed Klopp that even the briefest see to Blackpool where he reportedly tapped-up Southamptons team captain can have damaging repercussions.
Liverpools interest in the order Holland international is not over despite publicly withdrawing from the race for the 60 m-rated supporter when Southampton reported them to the Premier League over an illegal approaching. A preliminary investigation ended without charge because of a lack of proof and Liverpool will return for Van Dijk should Southampton indicate they will part with their wantaway centre-half. The quest of Keta is expected to be parked under next summer when his 55 m freeing clause kickings in. Add into the desegregate Barcelonas interest in Philippe Coutinho and a sense of uneasines is legitimate, although there are still four weeks for Van Dijk to arrive, others to follow and what has already taken determine at Anfield this summer signals improvement ahead.

Liverpool have the will and the money to signal van Dijk and Keta but not a mode to break the resolve of Southampton and Leipzig respectively. That was always the inherent hazard in Klopp targeting a few top-class modernizes to elevate Liverpool from fourth into title quarrel, rather than the wholesale changes that have characterised recent summers in L4. He has also been reluctant to consider alternatives as the waiting game over van Dijk supports. The success of such an approach will be uncovered formerly the transfer window closes and Champions League commitments arrive for a force that benefited from a European-free season last time out, delivering the play-offs are navigated successfully later this month.
For a director who implores consistency and trophies stability, however, the existing footings are more important, and encouraging, than what is currently out of reach. Klopp has a settled squad attuned to his methods , no disruption to be faced with and an improved indulgence of options in the final third. Liverpool would bask business opportunities in the Champions League against resists who, like Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup on Tuesday, are more open to assault than numerous in the Premier League.
The pursuit of quality over length is another mark of recent change at Anfield. Liverpool possess a crew is suitable for Champions League qualification, one that finished above Arsenal and Manchester United last season and grew some exhilarating renditions when emerging as Chelseas closest challengers before Christmas. Title assertions evaporated at the turn of the year when Liverpool, to use their managers argument, absence the magnitude to deal with a frenetic fixture planned, a run to the League Cup semi-finals, harms and Sadio Mans departure to the Africa Cup of Nations. The squad necessitates bolstering in center midfield and central defence but it has no doubt improved.
Reinforcement so far has mainly centred on Liverpools strongest department, criticize, where Mohamed Salah has joined for a organization account 36.9 m from AS Roma and Dominic Solanke has arrived in search of greater opportunity than he found at Chelsea. A tribunal will be used to determine the compensation cost payable on a striker who starred in Englands triumphant Under-2 0s World Cup campaign and has shown in pre-season that his involvement will not be confined to the under-2 3s squad, as Klopp initially suggested.
Salah has shone in pre-season, three years after scorning a proposed 8m move to Liverpool in favour of an ill-fated sorcery at Stamford Bridge. The Egypt international give full play to on the interests of Klopps forward wire, with Man labor his course back to full fitness, and his velocity, labor frequency and end product have already been impressed. The expectation of Salah and Man terrorising explanations from all inclinations and feeding off the intelligent awareness of Roberto Firmino, is tantalising for Klopp. Make other squads crazy with a better quality we have, the manager has said. Equally comfortable on the left, Salah ensures Liverpool will not be as reliant on Man for speed and yields Coutinho licence to dictate play from a deeper post. The Anfield club are adamant the Brazil international will not be sold this summer despite continued interest from a Neymar-less Barcelona.

In Coutinho, Salah, Man, Firmino, Daniel Sturridge who had payed Klopps approval with his sharpness the summer months simply to abide a thigh harm while scoring in the 3-0 overcome of Bayern Solanke, Divock Origi and the fit-again Danny Ings, Liverpool boast a formidable reach of strikers. They will be needed. Klopps side regularly faced, and toiled against, opposings who sat back en masse and played on the counterattack last-place season. It was not only a repetition topic at Anfield, with units prepared to concede ground at home to combat Klopps style. Jordan Hendersons they are able to extend and swap the play was missed after he suffered another debilitating foot trauma.
