Danny Ings reveals ‘what if?’ scenario as Jurgen Klopp had plans for striker

Danny Ings has revealed Jurgen Klopp pushed for him to stay at Liverpool in 2018, opening up a ‘what if?’ scenario for the fit-again 16-goal striker. Ings endured a largely miserable spell on Merseyside following his switch from Burnley in 2015—a free transfer which was eventually deemed worth up to £8 million to Burnley. Two major knee injuries restricted him to just 25 appearances for the club, with eight of those coming in an initially promising run in the side before Klopp’s appointment. Klopp continually stressed his faith in a player stricken in the first training session he held at Melwood, with a 26-minute outing at West Brom on the final day of his first campaign at the club a gesture of his belief. But by the time he returned to full fitness after another layoff, the landscape of the squad had changed drastically: Roberto Firmino was first-choice striker, while Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah were immovable on the wings.

Trio’s return date & Klopp names “sensational” Gomez first-choice – Friday’s Liverpool FC News

Klopp’s massive praise for Gomez Joe Gomez has been one of the best players in the Premier League over the last couple of months, no question. He didn’t start the season in the team, due to fitness and the form of Joel Matip, but Jurgen Klopp has said his inclusion was never in question. “Since he is a playing as a centre-half again – his natural position – together with Virg there is exceptional. He is a sensational footballer, which is good. “He has outstanding speed, which helps us a lot to keep our last line high; he is a really good challenger; good in one-on-one situations; football-wise, I said already, good. “The package is really nice. It was always clear in the moment he starts playing and can get rhythm again, everything will be fine – and that’s how it is.”

The EU’s Risky Green Taxonomy

European Union member states and the European Parliament are soon expected to adopt a so-called “taxonomy” for classifying green investments, after reaching an agreement last month on a list of “sustainable” economic activities. Once the new system enters into force, most likely this year, the European Commission will use this list to determine which financial assets and products are sustainable. This taxonomy is the backbone of the Commission’s regulatory package on sustainable finance, which has the ambitious goal of “reorient[ing] capital flows towards sustainable investment, in order to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth.” The Commission hopes that the new labelling scheme will address the problem of market players “greenwashing” non-sustainable financial products and serve as the basis for policy incentives to promote sustainable investment. To be fit for purpose, however, the taxonomy must address three important questions. Unfortunately, the EU’s one-dimensional approach disregards two of the three…

Oh Boy, Elon Musk Made An EDM Song Called “Don’t Doubt Ur Vibe”

We, as a culture, have made the terrible decision to deify ruthless capitalist weirdo businessmen, and we get what we deserve. In this case, what we deserve is an EDM track called "Don't Doubt Ur Vibe," made by a car executive who seems to be going through a deep and profound midlife crisis. This morning, Tesla CEO and elaborate Grimes accessory Elon Musk was dropped his new banger "Don't Doubt Ur Vibe" on the SoundCloud page of his own Emo G Records. This is the second Emo G recording; the first was a 2019 Auto-Tuned rap named "RIP Harambe." "Don't Doubt Ur Vibe" definitely sounds like a song that a 48-year-old billionaire might make if he was dating Grimes. On Twitter, Musk has shared some truly ghastly photos of himself in the studio and claimed that he "wrote the lyrics & performed the vocals" himself. Those lyrics are: "Don't doubt your vibe/ Because it's true/ Don't doubt your vibe/ Because it's you." He wrote that himself! The cover art is a Tesla Cybertruk orbiting Mars. Take a

Elon Musk made an EDM song

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX but who you probably know best for his rap about Harambe, just dropped an EDM song. The tech billionaire released a single on Soundcloud Friday while tweeting out photos of himself working on it, providing some much-needed proof that this is all really happening. The song is called "Don't Doubt ur Vibe," and Musk was quick to change his Twitter display name to "E 'D' M" perhaps as a preview of an all-new persona. Rest assured, a mash-up of the song and Musk's strange dance at a recent Tesla event was on YouTube almost immediately. Vibbbe pic.twitter.com/21WKNOnMXZ — E “D” M (@elonmusk) January 31, 2020 This comes after Musk last year released the song "RIP Harambe," about exactly what you think it was about, which he declared his "finest work." Musk tweeted ahead of the release of "Don't Doubt ur Vibe" that he "just wrote a song," while in another tweet excitedly adding, "I wrote the lyrics & performed the vocals!!" These to-the-point tweets provided no further answers about…

Watch Michael Stipe Tell Stephen Colbert About His Favorite Radiohead Song And The Time He Told Trump To Shut Up At A Patti Smith Concert

Michael Stipe recently released his first two solo singles, "Your Capricious Soul" and "Drive To The Ocean." The R.E.M. singer also has a new photo book called Our Interference Times: A Visual Record combining digital and analog imagery. He sat for an interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night to discuss all this and more. The subject of Donald Trump came up because he's been using R.E.M. songs at his rallies against the band's wishes. "It's a licensing problem and there's nothing we can do except respectfully request that they not use it," Stipe explained. This led to an anecdote about how Stipe once told Trump to shut up during a Patti Smith concert at Joe's Pub in NYC. There was also talk about how the climate change protest Extinction Rebellion inspired his return to music, the photo book's aim to exemplify the seemingly irreconcilable culture clash of our times, and Stipe's doctor's advice that he stop watching the news. Because Thom Yorke recently told Colbert

Drake & Future – “Desires”

A few weeks ago, Drake and Future resumed their longtime partnership — highlighted by the 2015 collaborative album What A Time To Be Alive — with a new collaborative single called "Life Is Good." The song debuted at #2, becoming Future's biggest chart hit ever and giving Drake the record for most Hot 100 entries. Despite being credited to Future with Drake as a featured artist, "Life Is Good" fueled rumors of a new collaborative release from the superstar duo. Now another Drake and Future track is out, so those rumors are not likely to go away. Whereas "Life Is Good" was essentially a Drake song and a Future song stitched together with an awkward faux-"Sicko Mode" beat switch, the new "Desires" is basically a Drake song that Future lurks through for a few seconds. Produced by d.hill, it's one of those soft and airy songs in which Drake sweetly sings bitter words at a woman he's contentiously involved with. One memorable extremely Drake sequence: "How the fuck you keep so many secrets

The international body that governs track and field has announced it has "amended its rules" on what shoes athletes can wear in competitions.

As a part of the amended rules, shoes must have been available on the open retail market for at least four months before they can be used in competition. On their website, Nike says Kipchoge "tested" a number of "prototype" trainers in competitions suggesting the shoes were not available on the wider market. Nike has been approached for comment.
