  1. Gomez stayed way back. He was even behind Klopp. There was nothing particularly wrong with that corner.
  2. We had four people defending outside the box, it was more of a mix up between Endo and Elliott that lost us the ball and when Elliott loses the ball there is no chance of him making a foul or catching the Manc who took it off him. Plus the finish was in from the post, he could not have hit it any better.
  3. You are clearly labouring to make some kind of a point with these links, but it is hard to figure out what it is. That everybody who is doing business with Russia is doing fine and everybody who isn't is struggling? So they should go back to doing business with Russia and ignore what Russia is doing?
  4. To quote the artist formerly know as Belarus, what are you on about in this thread?
  5. These are season ending injuries if you translate from Klopp's usual he thought he felt something, and we couldn't risk it three to four week lay-offs.
  6. But is the camera angle appropriately low most of the time?
  7. Most statistics is estimates and approximations, as far as I can tell, Russian official economic figures are generally seen as relatively reliable, considering the environment. For example, people know that exchange rate is influenced by currency controls, that you can massage inflation and employment numbers to a degree, but you have the overall context. When the official inflation rate is not moving, and the central bank is leaving the rate unchanged, after both rates was previously going up, you can deduce that inflation is under control. You cannot completely fabricate the entire picture, you have stock exchange where local people invest and they would have a pretty good picture of what is really going on. And Russia's economy is probably watched closely enough to be difficult to just pull figures out of thin air. There is considerable revenue from oil which is fairly obvious to see, and we don't know how much money, which was being stashed away for years for topping up pensions and price subsidies to keep to people happy now being poured into war economy. It's a reasonable assumption this would help any economy in short to mid-term plus the blood money for the families. Buryatia for example must be now basing its entire economy on blood money, with population of less than a million and my estimate of having at about 2,000 dead in Ukraine.
  8. Gutted as we are, it's the cup, In an away game. You don't kill the game, anything can happen.
  9. Surely sanctions were not the only or the major contributing factor to the cost of leaving going up, other than the price of gas shooting up for a while. I don't have the figures on how much trade the EU or the UK do with Russia at my fingertips, but it can't be that much that it brought the economy on its knees. And they are still trading, above and below board
  10. You seem fixated on sanctions on Russia like you lost business personally. Sanctions against Russia are not particularly relevant for popularity of European politicians, nor would they bring down Russia, extremely porous as they are. Cost of this war might though, at least force their people to as their government, why are we in Ukraine again?
  11. They should really be starting a couple of more wars soon, imagine how well they would be doing then.
  12. Out of curiosity, have you read that article, beyond the headline?
  13. After plateauing in November, Russia's inflation is again slightly up, to 7.7 percent y/y in February, highest in a year. I also read somewhere that they are raising (or still considering, don't remember) their relatively low income rate slightly. Even though Ukraine's campaign against oil refineries pushed the oil prices up, it may end up hurting Russia's exports a couple of percentage points again. Hopefully Russia's economy will get progressively less resistant to the current pressures soon and the hurt starts spreading into to general population more.
