I get where you‘re coming from, but maybe that‘s kind of unrealistic.

I just think whoever comes in deserves some time and a fair chance. When Kloppo came he wasn‘t immediatly winning everything and look where we‘re at now.

Man, the pick for a new #6 being "no-one, wait for an elite player to become available" really shows the difference between what Sensible Transfers used to be vs now. Before, Alex would've found a couple options around Europe using relevant underlying stats so Liverpool could find this mystery #6 before they're worth the £100m it'll take to buy them once they've gained the publicity.

And if palace took the summer seriously and appointed a proper pogressive manager with a few promised additions, they could have had a legit go at the conference league 7th spot. All they needed was a RB ( Sugawara or Neco Williams), a LW (Jack Clarke, Omar Marmoush, Hudson-Odoi or Sulemana) and a Controller CM (Rio Hatate, Manu Kone or Le fee).

In a lot of past interviews Xabi Alonso talks about being flexible and that tactics have to match the players you have so I actually think that Xabi is intelligent enough and flexible enough to adjust tactics for players. He isn't going to bench Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz and play Harvey Elliot because the player profile doesn't suit his preferred formation.... you work with the talent you have and try to get the best players on the field. Ange has the personality to match Jurgen.... like a big demonstrative papa figure, but I think he is too tactically rigid, as showcased by multiple games that he has lost in part because he was unwilling to change his game plan when he was clearly the second best team. Klopp sent a team onto the field multiple times this season that clearly is not able to control the game but he is able to make formation and personnel changes to win games.... Ange doesn't appear to have that in his locker.

Leverkusen is his first big job, he will have to consider the squad he has, the league he plays in and other factors when deciding on his style. The best managers make changes to their tactics constantly to get the most out of their players against a certain set of opponents. If Alonso is a good manager, he'd do the same.

Finally someone saids Nagelsmaan I think he is the most similar profile to Klopp. Leizpig and Bayern played a very similar high pressing, high line football when managed by Nagelsmann, I was impressed by his teams and tactically he is very fluid. He can play 4-2-2-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 so I think its the most sensible. Olise I don’t agree with as Salah replacement, we need a reliable player, we play a lot of games, someone like Kubo or Raphinha is a great shout. The CDM position is the hardest to recruit for right now, but Endo can do the job short term for now until Bajcetic returns to share mins with him. CB stat away from these dutch frauds, the Gakpo and Gravenberch transfes haven’t worked out as of yet and I don’t seem them working out long term, Bastoni or Inacio is a great, great shout!!!

Jacob Greaves from Hull makes a ton of sense - Andy Robertson parallels. Can play LCB or LB and is young enough to learn of VVD for a couple of years before replacing him.

John being very ⚽'sy with that "no one" pick 👍 great stuff 😀

Why does Palhinha (for example) have to play as a single holding midfielder if Alexander-Arnold is used out wide? Couldn't Mac Allister play the slightly more offensive role alongside him? He's good on the ball, progressive, works hard in defence, and his tackle + interception rate per 90 has flown up from 2.91 to 4.62 even though 2.91 is his average for the past 12 months. That's a very busy half season in defence for Liverpool. He sounds like the perfect link man between the defensive and attacking units. If Alexander-Arnold plays in midfield there's still a place for him. If Alexander-Arnold is back to his old false winger role then Mac Allister adds cover when he roams, even if they bring in a defensive specialist like Palhinha. And he can cover Szoboszlai in the more advanced role if needed.

Wild episode lads, from top to bottom

Guy in the top comment is mad, Mac Allister is NOT a DM. He wants to play further forward and was signed to play further forward. If our squad wants to compete post-Klopp, we need a proper DM to give competition to Bajetic and replace Endo and Thiago.

Probably the key for the next manager in the mind of most supporters is that they have to be passionate and engaging with the supporters. Nagelsman seems very passionate but not in the warm way with his players and supporters as even someone like Alonso does, even minus his history and connection with Liverpool.

What made Klopp special is his connection with the fans and players. The potential replacements that were mentioned are all good coaches, but can they fill Klopp’s shoes？ Do they have the charm for the job and to survive through bad times？ Also it’s FSG running the show and they run a balance budget - won’t allow an overhaul of the squad just for the sake of style, especially when there is nothing wrong with the squad (look at Man United!) Liverpool needs a new manager to make it 2.1, not to make it 3.0. Xabi Alonso would be X.0, despite I rate him higher than Gerrard both as a player and as a manager.

Bastoni & De Ligt would not be cheap but they are at least the quality needed to replace van dijk (obviously not as good but nobody is). But if it’s to replace them in 3+ years you’d want someone else younger to grow & improve unless that’s already there in Quansah. I also think Olise & Bastoni are better choices than Raphinha & De Ligt. Of course what I think doesn’t matter it’s whoever replaces Klopp which I hope is Xabi.

like just a thought even xavi could be a great bet after klopp. Xavi main tactics really focus on playing out wide with pace in the flags that most Liverpool wingers do and also how he want to control the ball and pressing structure quite be a welcoming change in this system(though controlling the ball with cdm might be a miss)

Feels like they listened to the comments. The episode feels much more genuine again.

Would like to see Hincapié but if Alonso came in I imagine it would be difficult to do both but who knows

When JJ said Ange I did get irrationally angry so he's right to go into hiding

There is some awful static noise in the backround.

Can you guys make a video about atmosphere in Barcelona at the moment and if you think they should sell{ because i do think they need to sell}.And who should they sell?

Why is it impossible to replace klopp we did it in the 70s when paisley replaced Shanks

not impossible but liverpool spent legit 20 years trying to find someone like klopp, its not gonna be easy to find another

If we get Alonso we’ll need a another CB (or two), a new RWB and maybe a midfielder if Thiago leaves. We’d have Konate and Gomez for RCB, VVD and Quansah for that central CB, and ideally someone like Inacio and/or Hincapie for that LCB role (Gomez also an option there). Bastoni is also a good shout tbf but I prefer Inacio and Hincapie. For RWB the obvious choice is Frimpong, given his release clause. I think we have enough options for the double pivot with Trent, Mac, Endo, Gravenberch, Jones and Bajcetic. If we have Thiago too, then we have enough cover. If he leaves, I really like the idea of signing Palacios. I wanted him anyway as a lone 6 if Klopp stayed, but a midfielder signing isn’t as crucial as CB and RWB. I personally don’t think we’ll need any attacking signings if Alonso took over as we then have plenty of attacking options as Szobo, Gakpo and Elliott can play in the wide 10 positions. It’d even suit Salah as he starts to age. Then you still have Diaz as well. Nuñez and Jota are then the striker options.

None of the player transfers really matter when we have to replace Klopp. There's a German manager from the black forest I think everyone would like to come in, he's a bit old at 56 years old but I reckon he's still got a good few years left.

I don't know what you have watched but Nagelsman has always played his style, high possession, very close passes, nothing like gegenpressing. That's why it was so problematic when he left Leipzig, they tried to play fast again and the players weren't there. And Bayern had fast passed players and with his slow style they had a lot of problems, he hasn't changed much and has not played different styles

Usually I appreciate your analysis but retiring Salah and Virgil makes no sense. Salah can play until 35 at least, and generally Virgil has great fitness. Hope to see them both for 5 more seasons at the club.

Who or what may come plzz don't change the geggen pressing personality of Liverpool

Need an elite 6, but if not available nobody is the correct choice. That's basically what Liverpool did, except they got a cheap stop-gap in Endo. Buying nobody is boring, but correct for Liverpool, who don't have infinite resources

Bastoni would be an incredible signing for Liverpool. That's a great shout but it would cost a pretty penny surely.

Mo Salah to Saudi for 200Mil, Olise and Bastoni in would be well under that (assuming the sale of Mo comes after)

Van de Ven - CB Olise - RW Robinson- wingback

I would love to see Nico Williams rockin up the PL as a Salah replacement and create endless chances for Darwin, Jota and Diaz.

In terms of no.6, I'd expect the club to see how Bajcetic fares post-injury. And surely, given Liverpool's track record, Sven Botman would be the most likely choice -- especially if Newcastle need to sell. On the topic of Liverpool's track record, surely Olise is too injury prone for the club's transfer models?

JJ and Jon completely dripped out today

Alonso is the perfect person imo. I know he hasn’t managed for long but he has the spark needed at the club. And he can bring players from leverkusen with him. Frimpong will be the perfect rb to drift Trent into the midfield and who better to improve your game in midfield than xabi alonso.

I absolutely adore the JFA pullover Jon is wearing

Honestly think even if we sold 3 players let’s say Matip, Tsimikas & a CM… we still don’t need to sign anyone. I would even go as far as saying the way Alonso plays that Elliot is the perfect replacement for Salah if Mo goes too. Credit to our academy & coaches because the way we have Gomez stepping up as a back up LB (potentially first choice rn), Bradley, Quansah, Bajcetic, McConnell, Clark, Morton, Doak… we really don’t need anyone. Feels a bit like 2009-2011 Barca… we just need minor upgrades in attack.

Ange is an open Liverpool fan; look at the number of sports where England get an Aussie coach in. There's something about an Aussie coach.

what about the left back ?

Reckon if xabi alonso takes over we might see Liverpool snap up some players from leverkusen 👀

I wasn't there but Paisley was successful and liked but much quieter than Shankley. I am hopeful that Xabi can forge something memorable.

Personally Kalvin Phillips, Diaby, Colwill.... sort out the homegrown problem and diaby is a beast

Honestly Liverpool has decent options in both the midfield and forwards I'd go with minor tweaks in the winter window... Then wait till we sell Salah and VVD before making the big transfers in the summer

I've been waiting for this. Thanksss

Not a lot of these really feel like Liverpool moves and I agree with others it's more likely that if they sign a 6, it's someone on the way up (not that they really need to with Endo and Bajcetic still around along Mac). The Olise and Postecoglou moves are absolute box office though, hope those are possible. I know Ange won't go and Levy won't let him, but JJ is right.

Ange is just a regen of Brendan Rodgers, but has accomplished less in his career. That would be a terrible move if the goal is to stay in the CL spots regularly and try to win big trophies. If you're going also for a rebuild, why not pick someone who has a football style that doesn't completely ignore defending?

By what metric? Ange has won trophies everywhere he's been, certainly I think it's very unfair to compare him negatively to Brendan. I don't know what more could be asked of him. The same could have been said of Klopp when he joined ("here's a guy whose defence is a mess and loses cup finals"). I don't know how Ange compares unfavourably to the likes of de Zerbi if I'm honest, and his football style is much much closer to Klopp's than anyone else in the conversation. That said, it's obviously not going to happen.

@@user-po7fy6bp8x Ange has won nothing in a top 5 league. Comparing his CV to Klopp's is absurd. Klopp was in the CL final, won the Bundesliga, worked with and developed the very best players in the world. Ange won at Celtic and in Australia. Cool. Meanwhile, Klopp, over his time at Liverpool has employed a number of different formations and systems, clearly shown he has an eye for talent (with help from other club staff). Has Ange? All I see is suicidal defending and counter attacks with half your team forward in the opponent's half. Sorry to get a little heated, but comparing Ange to Klopp is so disrespectful to Klopp.

@@RevRyan15 No worries mate feelings are strong right now, none of us want to see Klopp leave. I don't like holding against someone that they're not from the biggest leagues in the world - what Ange has done to win in Australia, Japan and then Scotland is pretty remarkable, as Klopp himself might say "if it wasn't really hard then people would do it all the time." I accept he hasn't had a chance before now in a top league but that's because of the journey it's taken him to get there. I think you're being a bit harsh on him tactically (after all, remember where this LFC team was in 2016-17 and what people were saying about the mess LFC's defence was at that time and the team's tactics, which Klopp evolved over many seasons, meanwhile Ange has been at Spurs for 5 months), but I think we can accept no one is Klopp and never will be. But I think we can also be respectful of the journey and achievements of the other guys in the conversation.

Summer would be a great time for salah to get his move
