Why have I had such a bad start?
I think it’s a mixture of bad luck https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍀" title="Vierblättriges Kleeblatt" aria-label="Emoji: Vierblättriges Kleeblatt"> (doubling up on Liverpool defence just before Alisson and VVD got injured) and bad decisions https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏽" title="Person facepalming (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Person facepalming (mittlerer Hautton)"> (not owning DCL) in a season where both seem to have been punished by huge “variance” in scores...cont.

3. Focus on the decision not the outcome https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧠" title="Gehirn" aria-label="Emoji: Gehirn">
4. Most of all... it’s JUST A GAME https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎲" title="Würfelspiel" aria-label="Emoji: Würfelspiel">, an escape, a bit of fun https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Leicht lächelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Leicht lächelndes Gesicht">...it doesn’t really matter https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏽" title="Person shrugging (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Person shrugging (mittlerer Hautton)">
