As someone who doesnt have english as a primary language, loosing feels natural to write. Probably made the mistake before myself. Lose/loose pretty much sounds the same. English is in many ways a nonsensical language. A bunch of germanics trying to sound french. Dont hate us for not being able to keep up with your nonsense every time.

 

 

 

It's pretty simple to be honest:

 

'Loose' sounds like: juice, bruce, deuce, mousse or use [when a noun].

 

'Lose' sounds like: Lewes, loos, Lou's, chews, Hughes, blues and two's.

 

Don't understand why this is so hard for non-native speakers.

Exactly. I've no doubt English is complicated to non-native speakers but don't create battles where they don't exist. The two words are spelled differently to reflect the difference in pronunciation.

I dont know, maybe its just me. But in my head all these words have very similar pronounciation. The voice in my head is more american rather than english though, dont know if that makes a difference.

 

But the fact that you can write the same pronounciation in so many different ways, even if we just look at the ones you listed together, kinda emphasizes my point thats its not exactly a straight forward language

The example of Villa gets cited, but in terms of their individual players, I think both their first team and their squad is that bit better than ours. Eddie is continuing to get more from our players than we have a right to expect.

 

Yet we are now eight points ahead of Villa in expected points, in a season with an unprecedented injury crisis. Eddie has been dealt a bad hand in so many different ways this season.

Can anyone provide any evidence of any club in the entire history of, let's make it easy and narrow it down to just English, football where a manager has stood down for cup games and let "the guys" do them? 

 

?

 

Even by N-O standards, that's Whacky af 

Stephen Big-Dog Bruce used to do it for league games!

It seems hard enough for many native speakers, let alone non-natives.

'Lose' doesn't sound like Lewes. Lewes sounds like Lewis.

But does Louis sound like Louis? ?

Lewis Miley seems to be pronounced Lou-ee despite his name not being Louis.

From fbref. Couldn't find the xA from set pieces. Trippier has taken 225 set pieces while Gordon has taken 65.

Gordon: 2 assists, 18 set piece passes that leads to a goal attempt
Trippier: 3 assists, 28 set piece passes that leads to a goal attempt

 

Trippier: 1,33% lead to an assist, 12,44% lead to a goal attempt
Gordon: 3,08% lead to an assist, 27,69% lead to a goal attempt

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems credible. It's difficult to understand why Howe doesn't see it himself. Tunnel vision?

Yeah and we can all see it. Each time Tripps steps up to take a free kick or a corner I just expect it to lead to nothing, which more often than not it does. Gordon’s corner kicking has proved more productive so him and Lewis Hall should be taking corners with the free kicks shared out between him, Lewis Hall, Schär and then Tripps

Think that's a cuteism. His name is Lewis Miley, they just call him Lewie, probably started from calling him Lew....

 

But yes it is confusing when the names Louis and Louie exist.

[Checko]

I think he has pretentions of becoming a French noble personally.
