New Manager for Liverpool 2.0

[Doc_Piptorious]

I guess the comments about him being a scrapper, underdog and doing whatever it takes to stop the other team remind me of Simeone's Atletico. I haven't seen much of his Sporting side, so maybe I shouldn't jump the gun.

Their set up is actually a little bit like that of Leverkusen under Alonso.

Is a 3-4-3/5-2-3.


All the defenders being quick, mobile and physical with one of the wing backs tucking/cutting in.

Like Alonso he has two deeper midfielders in the centre, but both are good on the ball and can advance play as well as shielding the back line.

Sporting probably press more than Leverkusen when they lose the ball, but not like Leverkusen are mugs at that either.


Like at Leverkusen the focus is on having the ball and using possession play to probe over and over and over in an attempt to pull the other teams midfield towards the flanks and then press centrally themselves in attack.

Front three swap flanks and positions throughout games.

Similar again to Alonso and will add Nagelsmann to the mix on this bit, Amorin seems to have developed a style that seems a meld of gegenpressing and patient possession football. The former when off the ball and reverting to the former as soon as the ball is won.


Is kind of like they have all taken the best bits of what Klopp does and tried to merge it with a lot of what Guardiola does.

Seems to be a big push to gather guys who are familiar with the Portuguese leagues, and therefore will also have links to south America.
Now this Pedro Marques is on board you have to think Amorim is a virtual certainty.

It seems the obvious option, but posted in the FSG Ownersip thread that it is actually making me think Nagelsmann might be the target despite the nationalities involved.


The guys we have hired look, after a google search on their past roles and styles, to have done very similar roles to the back room staff at RB Leipzig whilst Nagelsmann was there and also what RB have now.


A very Germanic stats driven style of analytics.

Nagelsman, Do you not think he will return to Bayern ?

Bayern, Barca, Liverpool going to do well to get our top target with those 2 involved!!

United and CHelsea could also be after a new manager but anyone who goes there didn;t want them anyway.

Ruben Amorim: Why is Sporting Lisbon boss favourite for Liverpool manager job?

New York Times journalist Rory Smith explains on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club why Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim is the "front-runner" to replace Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool boss.

Aren’t Barca still in a big mess financially? Saw they are trying to get rid of Lewandowski now because of his wages. I know they are stacked with young talent but if you can’t compete in the transfer market it’s going to be a difficult job.

And Bayern seems you either win the tittle by January or you’re sacked in January. We definitely have the most stable environment for a young manager to come in to and be given time to develop.

This guy is supposedly well connected in Portugal

Here’s hoping. I don’t know much about him in reality but I’ve already put my eggs in his basket compared to De Zerbi.

Can Amorim speak English?

That's good, he's seems pretty fluent

You'll be disappointed. He wants too much control, so won't fit our structure. No idea who it'll be.

Based on what?

I always disliked Nagelsman for reasons I couldn't explain, perhaps it's his age. But, he's on a positive trajectory and you wonder if his abilities are growing with age. if he's appointed it wouldn't be a disaster
