Wright Thompson wrote about @LFC and what a league title would mean.
IMO, it is worth your time.

Keep thinking about this and it's nuts. Tweets made 3 years before he played a game of professional football, when he was 15. Seriously, where does it stop? Does punishment start from the moment five year olds join academies? The FA has enough to sort without policing this stuff. twitter.com/SkySportsNews/…

Inter did this thing where they got a player to lie down behind the wall so the keeper couldn't see the ball through the players' legs...

The wall is fine. Alisson has lined Matip directly between ball and post. As he lines it up from the post he will see the ball between Matip’s legs, with Gomez outside. Only question would be if there were only 2/3 on the wall, would a more central position make the difference? pic.twitter.com/JOWdBauChH

Non che abbia visto. (Però non ho neanche guardato più di tanto). Cmq sono d’accordo con te, sulle rivalità interne a volte ci giocano (vedi Neville/Carragher) ma non vi è questa grande pressione di appoggiare i club inglesi perché inglesi...

Da un lato sono d'accordo.. d'altro lato uno ha giocato nel Barcellona e fa sempre riferimento a quanto sia tifoso del Barca... l'altro e' stato colonna del Manchester United, rivale del Liverpool...

Thank you. I don't know. It got a big reaction on here. Beyond that, I'm as surprised as you are.

So the term "lead" refers to having a material advantage over the opponent. In football, u gain a lead when, at any moment in a match, u have scored more goals than ur opponent. Ajax had a lead from the moment they scored, since Spurs hadn't scored previously +did not score after

Man, you're really struggling with this aren't you?
Yes, I agree, you can only try to manage a lead once you have it. If you don't have a lead, you cannot attempt to manage it. Because it is not there. And you cannot attempt to manage something that does not exist.

Agreed. Problem is, it's a low-scoring sport. And it only takes a moment.

Not at all. Managing a lead is something you try to do. It's an approach you CHOOSE to take. Whether it works or not is a different matter. (And, BTW, it did.)
Managing a game doesn't just depend on you. It depends on your opponent + how the game unfolds. You may not be able to

He compares his talent, which is immense, to the immensity of the ocean. And how the ocean can't be fenced in. Works better as a turn of phrase in a different language...

Not really. It's a hypothetical. He's asking if Klopp had Messi what would he do? Would he fit him into his schemes or would he afford him freedom?

You still don't seem to understand the difference between managing a LEAD and managing a GAME...
