[Scroll down for post-match discussion] So much for the merit system! As expected, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has made seven changes to the team that lost 1-0 to Madrid, which makes a mockery of his post-game suggestion that the likes of Gerrard, Sterling and Coutinho were dropped due to ineffective performance in previous games. It's clear that Rodgers simply rested them for the Chelsea game, and that, irrespective of performance, the likes of Toure, Borini et al had no real chance of retaining their places.
FULL TEAM: Mignolet, Johnson, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno, Gerrard, Can, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling, Balotelli
SUBS: Jones, Toure, Lucas, Allen, Lallana, Borini, Lambert
CHELSEA: Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, Oscar, Hazard, Costa
In his post-Madrid press conference, Rodgers claimed that the Madrid performance was 'excellent', and praised his team for showing 'courage', and 'defending well'. He added:
"We picked the team to try to get a result tonight. All those that weren't playing tonight, it doesn't necessarily mean they'll play against Chelsea. The changes were for a team that I thought would get us a performance and a result - we got a performance but unfortunately we didn't get the result."
Hmmm. If the performance was so admirable, then why has Rodgers dumped everyone except Emre Can? Kolo Toure arguably did enough to retain his place, but he has also ended up back on the bench.
This comes as absolutely no surprise, though, and I argued yesterday that this is the way things would play out. Rodgers' clearly doesn't have the courage of his (false) convictions, and he's done himself no favours with his disingenuous explanation for the Madrid changes.
Rodgers should've just been honest about his strategy: making the changes had absolutely nothing to do with sending a message to under-performing players; he simply rested the bulk of his first-team for the Chelsea game.
Alas, it looks like Rodgers will also stick with 4231 for this game, with Balotelli up-front on his own:
--------------- Mignolet
Johnson --- Skrtel -- Lovren ---- Moreno
------------- Can --- Gerrard
----- Hendo ----- Sterling ----- Coutinho
----------------- Balotelli
The likes of Borini, Toure, and Lucas can feel legitimately demotivated after being dumped on the bench. All three played well against Madrid, and arguably deserved to keep their places. Indeed, a couple of LFC legends have questioned Rodgers' selection. Reacting to the team, Ronnie Whelan tweeted:
"A little surprised by team. Let's see how the game starts"
Ray Clemence added:
"Predictable line up but slightly surprising in a couple of areas for me"
Whelan and Clemence are 'surprised' because - like many fans - they thought Rodgers was finally showing some balls against Madrid, and sending a message that constant underperformance will not be tolerated. Clearly, this is not actually the case.
I still can't see Liverpool getting a result. My prediction: 3-1 to Chelsea.

I can't believe BR, he has lost it.
ReplyDeleteVery dissapointed.
ReplyDeleteWhy not reward those who played well? Bigger squad doesn't still mean you have to play every player in one game week...
So disspointed with line up
ReplyDeleteits the same vs real home and newcastle
so are we meant to expect different results
balotelli,gerrard,johnson,skrtel ,coutinho
shoudl not eb in line up
lucas,borini,lallana,manquilloa nd toure should be
RODGERS OUT!
If we dont win i would rather lose heavily
ReplyDeleteanything to get rodgers close to that exit door
he has lost it
he keeps making same mistakes every week
he odes not learn
Jaimie, can I just ask what it is about Rodgers that keeps your 100% faith in him? You're bagging him 90% of the time...
ReplyDeleteThe result today will define BR's position at the club.
ReplyDeleteif thats the case the result should be negative
ReplyDeletecant believe he still stick attacking midfielders around balotelli
when you need wingers liek lallana and markovic
Man, just what does balotelli do to start every game, this is insane. Then you have kolo and borini who deserved 100% to start after madrid game. Johnson again.. I dont know but if we lose today which is highly possible, rodgers should leave. Its nonsense, he just cant stop picking the wrong team every single game. Looking at chelsea team.. Oh boy this gonna be tough, hopefully we get some luck!
ReplyDeleteDo people honestly think a different manager would turn us into world beaters?
ReplyDeletethis is what happens when you cant keep your personal and professional life separate
ReplyDeleteno guarantee but he will try something different..this is insanity
ReplyDeleteI dont think he would, but at least he should be managing a lot better especially in defence, and pick the right team, the thing BR totally lost it.
ReplyDeleteSome of the decisions look a bit off on this. Should definitely have kept Toure in. He earned it. Manquillo can feel a bit unlucky also. He was always going to bring back Gerrard and that being so he couldn't play Lucas. It's beyond doubt now that Lucas and Gerrard can't play together. Borini ran around a lot but that's different to playing well. Don't think he looked like scoring once, for all that's said about him at least Balotelli he is there to miss them more often.
ReplyDeleteI haven't said I have '100% faith in him' for months.
ReplyDeleteI still think he can turn things around, but I don't have 100% faith anymore. It's more like 65-70%
I just hope that LFC sack delusional Rodgers asap before he inflicts further damage to the club and the hopes of millions fans
ReplyDeleteBrendan Rodgers has got a team, that judged man for man against the other teams, is probably about a 6th/7th place team.
ReplyDeleteWe're 7th.
this team would ahve beat cheski:
ReplyDelete......................................borini
markovic.......................lallana..................sterling
...........................can...............lucas
moreno...............lovren............toure,...........manquillo
.....................................mignolet
but rodgesr plays league 2 palyers liek balotelli
he bought the players
ReplyDeletehe could have bought players like pelle,tadic ,erner valencia
etc
Can was one of the few high points in the Madrid game, so I'm glad he starts. But Johnson? Where the hell is Manquillo? Injured?
ReplyDeleterodgers gone by christmas don't worry
ReplyDeleteas fsg proved with comoli they are ruthless
tehy wont tolerate their investment being wasted
Markovic? Not even God could manage to turn him into a player.
ReplyDeleteyou aint funny
ReplyDeletei notice you only turn up when liverpool lose or when you think they will lose
Ah, that makes things a lot more transparent then. I'm probably sitting around the same as you at the moment. I wanted to give him a chance to prove himself in the recent summer window, but so far, he's absolutely failed. Yeah, hindsight does help with players like Balotelli who were expected to rip and tear, but managers should be in positions where they know a lot better than fans...at least our scouts were sacked. We could use with Southampton's- in fact- their whole bloody football operations.
ReplyDeleteYou're entitled to your opinion, but aren't you embarrassed to post nonsense like this? Hoping that LFC 'lose heavily'? The typical reaction of the knee-jerk generation of fans.
ReplyDeleteWe need 2 players up front.... not just Mario.....
ReplyDeleteThis is the manager who took the club to the brink of winning the league last year. It's amazing how short some people's memories are. Think he deserves/ has earned the time to get through this.
ReplyDeleteRodgers OUT! - regardless of the result! (and likely it will be a defeat hope im wrong like).
ReplyDeleteYes because too many "fans" think our average squad should be doing the league/champions league double. We simply do not have the players and unrealistic expectations only damage the club.
ReplyDeleteEinstein's definition of insanity: doing the same things over and over expecting to get different results. This insistance with 1 up top may not only lose BR his job, but also put him in a mental institution it seems.
ReplyDeleteknee jerk?
ReplyDeletelook this is the same team
that got thrashed by newcastle
bar can for allen
it is the same mistakes over over again
mistake lose repeat mistake lose repeat mistake lose repeat
balotelli sterling and coutinho as a front three dont work
does rodgers expect that suddenly his mistakes will work out
im sorry but this is not knee jerk
rodgers needs replacing preferably by conte
a repected man in teh agme unlike rodgers that will sign us world class palyers unliek rodgers
If it bleeds we can kill it go reds 2-1 Liverpool
ReplyDeleteunrealistic expectations maybe
ReplyDeletebut we have the right to expect a team where players play based on merit rather then favoritism
no LUIS SUAREZ took us to the brink of winning title
ReplyDeleteexactly rodgers is CRAZY
ReplyDeleteWow. That really is some statement. Beggars belief really.
ReplyDeleteThat is why i refuse to reply to his post from now on. Wind up merchant.
ReplyDeleteYes, knee jerk. You are clearly young (you've admitted this), and have no concept of LFC's history or philosophy. If you did, you wouldn't constantly be calling for team to lose to achieve the result of getting rid of the manager. As I said - you're entitled to your opioin, but my view, it's embarrassing.
ReplyDelete27 matches ?
ReplyDeletedo you want to tolerate balotelli,gerrad,johnson for 27 more matches ?
a front three of balotelli,sterling and coutinho for 27 more matches?
but imagine if roy got a draw vs blackburn at ewood park
ReplyDeletewhat would happen?
Fabregas should be our biggest concern. If we let him dictate then it it game over.
ReplyDeleteno you are just angry that
ReplyDeletei went against your ideology that suddenly pressing will get us winning again
sorry if you feel i am winding you up
but thats not my intention
People calling for BR's head before the game has even started! I thought I'd seen everything, well I guess not :)
ReplyDeleteJohnson like a love child. FSG thankfully will not be renewing his contract.
ReplyDeleteThere's still a very small chance that we may play a 4-4-2 diamond with Balo & Sterling upfront. But I wouldn't count on it...
ReplyDeleteDaniel Sturridge confirms on @btsport that he will be fit for #LFC trip to Crystal Palace on Nov 23
ReplyDeleteLFC Echo tweet: JamesPearceEcho
To say your logic is flawed would be to imply there was some logic in the 1st place. So I won't do that. I can see from the general tone of your posts you are beyond reasoned debate. Enjoy the game.
ReplyDeleteLets hope their biggest concern is the scoreboard after 90 minutes mate.
ReplyDeleteTransfer policy has been poor. Results have been par for the players we have.
ReplyDeleteI think you would't disagree that we had a different team last year - SAS were firing ,terrorizing defenses and our opponents were playing rather poorly.
ReplyDeleteThings have changed(opposition has strengthened itself) - he got 100 million and look what he has brought - a crop of average ,under-performing and untested players. Balotelli for Suarez !! what a joke
Currently all his moves are tactically very poor.He can't do a mere team selection on the basis of merit(based on a player's current form).
Being so stubborn and haughty to not even change the formation that is failing him game after game.
Could't mend our defense even in 3 seasons(he has no excuse that he was short of funds to do defensive reinforcements).
Rodgers is simply not manager to handle a top 4 club!!
LETS GO REDS!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I just gave up on him!!! I was supporting him against the likes of Steve Nicol and his regular brouhaha!!! If we loose he is defiantly one step out of the door.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. Loosing Suarez was my biggest fear last season as I feared this would derail the entire team.
ReplyDeleteLooks like my biggest fear turned real !
great start from Can
ReplyDeleteCAN you beauty
ReplyDeletewooohoooo
ReplyDeleteget in, park the bus
ReplyDeletecaaaaaaan
ReplyDeleteI didn't like the line-up, but 1-0! Emre Can! :D :D :D Go Reds!
ReplyDeleteNo keep up this energy and pressing bang in a second.
ReplyDeleteanother set piece goal for crying out loud
ReplyDeleteThis back four is a freaking laughing stock. Rodgers needs to wake t F up.
ReplyDeleteJohnson OMG.
ReplyDeleteYeah Rodgers but not the players supposed to defend the ball.
ReplyDeleteRegardless of the result, it's so apparent from the marking at the corner from which Chelsea scored, that BR cannot organise a team defensively. We cannot cope with corners or free kicks near our goal. It's embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteGood finish from Balotelli, anyway. Unlucky.
ReplyDeleteWell that is what you get when you persist with player who are incapable? Manager needs to wake up.
ReplyDeleteCosta playing like a thug. This is where Skrtel and our midfield must step up physically and put morals to the side for a few minutes. Must assert yourself physically.
ReplyDeleteWow Couts on target
ReplyDeleteFantastic from Coutinho
ReplyDeleteWhat I need to understand is who the f*** is instructing Balotelli to play as a defender. for the life of me I just around this cannot get my head
ReplyDeleteWe have done nothing else besides a deflected shot resulting in a goal.
Piss poor football once again.
Our set pieces are poor compared to theirs
ReplyDeleteWe need to start winning the first ball at corners.
ReplyDeleteBalotelli isolated up on his own as usual. Sick sick sick and f'n tired of this mish mash BS. Chelsea are just going with the flow.
ReplyDeleteCosta is owning Skrtel.
ReplyDeleteI like Can he's getting better But our defending is shocking
ReplyDeletePlaying from the back doesn't suit us! Mignolet is playing like his drunk!
ReplyDeleteSTOP PASSING OUT OF THE BACK YOU ALWAYS F*** IT UP LIVERPOOL. ABOUT TEN TIMES ALREADY ITS BEEN GIFTED TO CHELSEA. YOU'RE F***ING PROFESSIONALS FFS
ReplyDeleteHow? By playing dirty?
ReplyDeleteCosta is fouling Skrtel.
ReplyDeleteHENDERSON, GET IN THE BOX YOU CAT!
ReplyDeleteNo just like all other physical forwards own Skrtel.
ReplyDeleteIT'S JUST SIMPLE, COMMON SENSE SHIT THAT THEY ALWAYS SCREW UP
ReplyDeleteDisagree! For now Skrtel looks up for the battle!
ReplyDeleteWhere is Balotelli Rodgers? Are you f****** blind?
ReplyDeleteLovren is playing for ski
ReplyDeleteOkay, this inability to play out of the back is embarrassing now.
ReplyDeleteThey just bloody march down there when they please!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCrazy football! We're throwing possession away, as opposed to them breaking us down!
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke
ReplyDeleteOur midfielders are reluctant to support the attack because they must compensate for Gerrard's lack of legs to be a good defensive midfielder. So Sterling and Balotelli are so isolated.
ReplyDeleteIt's beyond appalling. Are they Liverpool or a Sunday League team? Where the hell is the ball security? The urgency?
ReplyDeleteDangerous possession
ReplyDeleteRodgers is making this team look like a circus.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Balotelli's purpose on the pitch. So sick of this rubbish.
Emre Can- the Chelsea player has the ball on the edge of the box. Instead of trying to jockey him, he just snaps in for a hopeless challenge. It's these types of SIMPLE errors that just plague us. Every day.
ReplyDeleteHenderson's been unrecognisable lately, take him off and put Lallana in there.
ReplyDeleteWhat should Balotelli do?
ReplyDeleteAsk Rodgers. he is the one giving the instructions.
ReplyDeleteCant get over Sterlings yellow card Loges esp with Costas little antics we started well but yeah Balotellis not being used right.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you haven't blamed Rodgers for Ebola yet
ReplyDeleteI am asking you because you are wondering about his role in the team. How should he play according to you? Almost entire first half was played at Liverpool's half.....you expect him to be what? superman?
ReplyDeleteStrerling is being wasted out wide. absolutely wasted.
ReplyDeleteIs this the game where kolo was supposed to start 200 percent or I am I confused
ReplyDeleteAKA Brendan Rodgers. Digging his grave even further.
ReplyDeleteWell same old with set pieces poor at taking them and poor at defending them.
ReplyDeleteToure, Lucas, Borini....all three players are hungry and SHOULD STAY AT THE CLUB....but BR is daft. I have out of all excuses/justification for whatever BR does.
ReplyDeleteLovren is making so many bad passes and Hendo has been poor
ReplyDeleteMost common of all the common sense. Toure deserved to play. Lovren is playing shite.
ReplyDeleteBrendon has lost it
20m for Lovren biggest joke in world
ReplyDeleteVery disappointed with this line-up. Clearly form has nothing to do with selection.
ReplyDeleteAs usual you've got no answer when we ask you a simple question. Why complain in the first place then?
ReplyDeleteSell Balo ASAP
ReplyDeleteMignolet is world class when it comes to short stopping but his distribution and authority during corners is absolutely pathetic.
ReplyDeleteAnyone happy with the football being displayed need to go for counselling.
ReplyDeleteBlame the players all you like. The football that is being asked to play by Rodgers is a laughing stock.
Hazard walking past Gerrard as if he is not even there
ReplyDeleteFor about five minutes there, I felt like I was watching the Three Stooges. Lucky it's not 3-1.
ReplyDeleteFor god's sake, who cares? This pathetic whining about the team selection at Madrid is inane and meaningless. It's already justified by the performance of those players. Liverpool were woeful against Newcastle. Some players were dropped. The team played better. Now some players come back? So what? All that matters is what happens on the pitch and there no way that anyone can argue that putting more supposed first teamers out against Madrid would have gotten a better result. Liverpool put out a different team and exceeded expectations. That makes a joke of all of this ridiculous argument.
ReplyDeleteborini on for balotelli
ReplyDeletehenderson off for lallana
BR I have lost words for you
ReplyDeleteGo read Vyas's post again. You do not understand.
ReplyDeleteLallana should play instead of Henderson. Henderson is below par .He has got nothing to contribute. No technic, poor passing, and no b@lls to shoot .
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell he is doing in the team??
Rodgers is asking his players to pass to the opposition yep surely
ReplyDeleteYeah, I will blame the players. Rodgers doesn't have a jersey on, does he?
ReplyDeleteBR doesnt have a clue
ReplyDeleteno but he ask them to play this way, the players didn't decide the team selection or the formation.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you trying to say exactly?
ReplyDeleteNope I think you are the one who hasn't understood, read it again properly.
ReplyDeletehe is saying BR is clueless
ReplyDeleteand his shite breed of players - Henderson,Allen,Johnson,Balotelli.
ReplyDeleteAxe these players and we can easily get a draw out of every game
I am saying Rodgers is misusing Balotelli and Chirag Vyas has said the exact same thing.
ReplyDeleteGood night.
ask nevergonnacrackthecode...he's got plenty to spare.
ReplyDeleteFor goodness sake; please take a valium or something. The world is not falling apart.
ReplyDeleteDiego Costa should have been booked AT LEAST once. Hope he bites Lovren so Toure can come in.
ReplyDeleteSo it's Rodgers fault that Lovren is getting held up by attackers? Or making poor passes? Or not winning headers? And it's Rodgers fault that the team doesn't win a header at a corner? How is it Rodgers' fault that Sterling tries to make killer passes through 4 defenders that goes nowhere? Or when Gerrard gives away the ball on the edge of the box?
ReplyDeleteHe is saying no matter what the personnel support the team.
ReplyDeleteReally- axe Henderson.. One day his missing is the reason we lost the title and the next he should be axed. Fickle is the word.
ReplyDeleteAdam, it can be both. Let's not create false dichotomies just yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm saying there was nothing wrong with the team that played at Madrid.
ReplyDeleteBalotelli wasn't Rodgers choice. The only reason he persists in playing him up front on his own is so he can go back to J Henry and say "look, I told you he wouldn't work out - can I now have that Reus guy everyone keeps banging on about. " That aside, we can't defend. We couldn't defend last season either, we just had a pair of strikers and a fearless 19 year old destroying teams on a weekly basis to mask our deficiencies.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to say Rodgers out but at what stage will he be able to construct a balanced team?
We do not have poor players, quite the contrary. Can anyone name a defender who has played for us under BR who has looked class?
Is it just coincidence that Cissokho was terrible for us but actually looks like a decent player again at Villa?
He's a defender and that should be his FIRST thought. Under BR, the defenders do not think of defence first. That is the only reason he continues to persist with Glen Johnson, as he offers slightly more going forward than Manquillo but not a great deal more in defence.
This is simply Rodgers' way and it will not be successful, so the question is how long do we give him to continue doing the same things over and over again?
So people who are criticizing team selection, do not support the team?
ReplyDeleteHe didn't though. And I'd have sworn we're in the afternoon :)
ReplyDeleteit's Rodgers who put Lovren on the team, it's Rodgers who decided to put Sterling wide and Balo up-front on his won and it's Rodgers who put Gerrard deep, so indirectly yes it's his fault.
ReplyDeleteAsk Rodgers what his intention is for Balotelli. I would relly like to know as it seem he is selecting a player to just run around aimlessly.
ReplyDeleteChelsea often comes stronger in second half and with this defending Lfc can barely survive this match
ReplyDeleteI totally agree.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stupid theory!! Balotelli may not be BR's first choice but he certainly wasn't bought despite BR's disagreement.
ReplyDeleteHe did not?
ReplyDeleteWhat should Balotelli do?
Is that a question directed at me or Mr Rodgers?
We need to start dominating this midfielf. Swap Henderson for Lallana and Gerrard for Lucas.
ReplyDeleteSo Rodgers is therefore the only person who feels Balotelli is a solo striker. In which case , he doesn't know what he is doing.
ReplyDeleteWhen will it be Rodgers' fault according to you?
ReplyDeleteCan't pass a ball for shit...
ReplyDeleteGood tackle and run by Sterling, but when did he forget how to cross?
ReplyDeleteThat the Madrid game is basically irrelevant now
ReplyDeletegotta be lallana for hendo
ReplyDeleteOH JUST F*** OFF JOHNSON!! THAT WAS THE MOST PATHETIC PIECE OF DEFENDING I'VE EVER SEEN!
ReplyDeleteLucas for Hendo with Stevie in an attacking berth
ReplyDeletewas pretty terrible
ReplyDeleteRidiculous wasn't it 😄
ReplyDeleteIt is Rodgers who persists on playing Lovren when Toure is in better form and it is he who is in love with Gerrard.
ReplyDeleteSoon BR will be irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteLovren is pathetic
ReplyDeleteSo. Many. Errors.
ReplyDeleteWho do you think is to blame though?
ReplyDelete1. Manager/tactics/formation
or
2. Players
true But Skrtel didnt even try and cover.
ReplyDeleteF*** off Logan I don't really care
ReplyDeleteGlen Johnson is rubbish either way so does not matter
ReplyDeleteHa ha.
ReplyDeleteWe are defending corners with 11 players, still can't defend effectively and it also kills our counter threat
ReplyDeletewow Lovren just tried to win the ball by placing the opposition player goal side of him. did that really happen?
ReplyDeleteAnother error by Lovren. It really is a circus. Sorry for the continuous negativity but jesus christ can you blame me?
ReplyDeleteChelsea just having fun now. Rodgers, Rodgers, Rodgers...
ReplyDeleteHe's playing for ski
ReplyDeletewell thats not fair
ReplyDeletetotally agree
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder
ReplyDeleteSTOP BEING OFFSIDE MARIO OH MY GOD!!!
ReplyDeleteToure must replace Lovren. Much like Carra's last season when he came in for Skrtel, we need his experience and leadership which compensates for any lack of pace / finesse in his game.
ReplyDeleteLovren. What an absolute f***ing sham he is at the moment. Bloody hell.
ReplyDeleteCAN, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR BALL. This is a big difference between the sides. Chelsea are 100% into every challenge with conviction. We are not.
ReplyDeleteWTF is Balotelli still doing up on his own. I mean for heavens sake how many more times does Rodgers have to put us through this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke.
team has no idea.
ReplyDeletehmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteTHAT WAS SO SOFT COUTINHO!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHello MR Rodgers. Need some spectacles?
ReplyDeleteWE ARE SUCH A SOFT TEAM. REFLECTIVE OF A SOFT MANAGER!
ReplyDeleteJohnson had all day to cover but jogged. He watched all of it happen
ReplyDeletetaiiiiiii
ReplyDeleteThats game over
ReplyDeleteLOVREN- PISS OFF
ReplyDeleteSKRTEL- PISS OFF
JOHNSON- PISS OFF
BRENDAN- YOU'RE ON REAAAAAALLY THIN ICE.
We dont cover each other. Its every man for themselves out there.
ReplyDeleteJoe Allen waiting to come on hahahahahahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteWHAT'S JOE ALLEN GONNA DO BRENDAN!? HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT WAY 'FORWARD' IS!
ReplyDeleteIt's tru not a team at all
ReplyDeleteNever going to get dropped
ReplyDeleteNever going to get dropped
Never going to get dropped
Never going to change
Hhhahahaaahahahahaaaa
ReplyDeleteBR PISS OFF YOU WAN@R
ReplyDeleteallen?
ReplyDeletewhen you ahve lallana on the benchj
Our two most viable threats off. Typical.
ReplyDeleteBR CLUELESS
ReplyDeleteBR'S MENTALITY- PLAY FOR A 2-1 LOSS.
ReplyDeleteI think Allen is the Rodger's love of life
ReplyDelete
