But we give him space and time, to understand the league. He is going to have to manage more games with his squad. I am looking forward to seeing different tactics and formations

Jurgen made his mind up, good luck to him and his family. Xabi made his mind up. And all the best to him. If Arne is given the chance and wants to take the chance., We've got to get behind him. Come on you reds.

Loved this Dan. Brilliantly focused content.

In Holland there are trainers/ coaches, not managers. It;s the way Liverpool is going to do it.

Slot is not like EtH. Not every Dutch coach is the same. Slot is very special, very unique and very demanding and kind to the players. Slot likes attacking football, but without conceding goals. He is very smart in preparing and developing his players, his squad for every match that every attack includes safety measures against sudden counterattacks and vice versa. He can identify the best position of each player and blend this with the specific tasks of each position of his formation knowing the opponent. Hereby, he will implement a very specific style of play as the foundation. Hence, he will be able to dethrone City as the league's true king.

My family is Feyenoord whit red and white blood.I was 5 and went to every homegame whit father,mother,sisters etc. in total 35 persons.In good and bad times,offcource.I saw a lot Feyenoord trainers in these years and Slot is s in the top 4,he is tactical very good he make players better and give youth the chance etc. he(a people trainer) is no skybox trainer, the opposite of Ten H.

Yes FSG handle business well but business doesn’t matter to the fans if city,united,arsenal,etc are gonna spend money and get success and we don’t. I don’t want Liverpool to be the “they handle business well” club. That doesn’t mean anything to the fans.

Slot is exactly the same in that way, he's obsessed with football, knows what the opponent does and like mentioned in the video, great personality, great people manager and an amazing tactician, turns around games so many times in his career by making tactical changes. Also, at Cambuur (2nd division team) he did great, beat the big Ajax in the cup and got to the semi finals, at AZ, he was on his way to becoming champions until corona cancelled that season (equal points with Ajax with a much weaker team, even beating them twice that season). At Feyenoord he had only 5 m to spend after selling our best player to ajax for 5.5 m. Got 8 or 9 new players, reaches the conference League final. Again lost 15 players of which 7 starters, next season he wins the championship. Third year in a row loses our best player, wins the cup and did great in CL dominating Atleti in Madrid but lost due to individual quality of Griezmann (most attempts recorded Vs atleti since 2014, more than prime Barça!), beating Celtic and Lazio at home with a shoestring budget. Currently on our way to equal our highest points tally ever (1 more than last season) but only 2nd place in the league because psv is having a Man City 2017/2018, 2018/2019 season (only 3 draws and 1 loss this season)

my only concern is how astute is he in identifying a top player, if we have a player that isnt good enough will he be able to identify who it is and them is slot likely to say to scouting i dont think i can work with him he will never be good enough or is he likely to keep his mouth shut and try to work with him.

Its not a personality contest. If Slot is a good manager he will prove it in his own way. Klopps way is just one way and honestly when you look at his record compared to others its far from the most sucessful way.

Unai Emery is still a better choice. Last time we got a un proven manager it was brendan rodgers

To be honest, I don’t mind the fact that we took our time. Because, imagine if they lock somebody in in December, a month after the manager had told the management that he was leaving. And then over the proceeding six months, other great managers around Europe became available and you had already locked yourself in. Why close off your potential opportunities. Take your time, Look into it and make a well informed decision, not a quick decision out of anxiety. The most important thing is to not compare him to klopp. There is only one other manager on earth who is comparable to klopp right now, and he’s not available and nor would we want him. So it’s important we don’t build a rod for our own back in order to whip the team and the new manager to say, well you’re not klopp. There is only one klopp, and it’s sad, but it’s a reality we need to get used to.

@@DenDave_ this could lead to disagreements later down the road, let’s say some of the signings don’t work, who’s to blame? Do we criticise the coach and his coaching methods or the Edwards, who made the initial signing? Can get blurry if things don’t go well.

Reflecting on Klopp's era evokes a bittersweet feeling, not solely because of its success, but because of the colossal unfulfilled potential. The cracks in the system and the gradual decline were glaringly obvious, impossible to ignore. While skepticism about FSG as owners lingered from the start, time only validated those doubts. However, my perspective shifted towards Klopp's management from the 2020-21 season onwards. It began to resemble the Benitez era, marked by an overbearing sense of authority. Klopp's growing arrogance and unwillingness to heed advice led to the abrupt end of his 20-year friendship with Zelko Buvac (the brain) and the exodus of key personnel from Michael Edwards' team. This erosion of talent severely impacted the team's performance and tarnished Klopp's legacy. Despite unwavering support from FSG, it was clear they were too afraid to say no to him, knowing full well how much the LFC fans love him. If Klopp even hinted that FSG weren't listening to him, fans would have driven FSG across the pond for good. Klopp seemed reluctant to request essential reinforcements for key positions. The over-reliance on a handful of players such as VVD, AR, MS, TAA, Fabinho, and Henderson was glaring, especially given Klopp's demanding style of play. The lack of depth on the bench was not just evident; it was alarming. It's confounding why Klopp failed to address this issue. It seemed as though he had forgotten his role as the manager of Liverpool FC, instead focusing on his sway over FSG. This shift in power dynamics led to a situation where accountability became elusive, akin to the behavior of dictators.

Absolute b*llocks. Klopp hugely overachieved. Had to sell his best players in order to make big signings, was dumped with the likes of Caulker, Ben Davies and Kabak when he even said in a press conference he didn't know where Davies was coming from at one point so he clearly had no say in transfers towards the end of Edwards last tenure. And if you think John Stones making a miracle clearance from Mane and Tierney not awarding a handball against Rodri or sending Kane off against us which was the difference in us missing out on 2 titles is Klopp's doing give your head a wobble. Also only took 4 attempts to win a CL here, Pep took 7 at MC. The disrespect towards Klopp thankfully doesn't extend to us local matchgoers who will give him the great send off he deserves.
