Arne Slot

[BobTheCharmer]

The way football is, I don't know anyone out there you would bank on to improve us. Klopp oozed passion and the crowd fed off him. He's a one off.

Arsenal are the best team yet their manager chooses to be negative.

City under pep are so poor.

Utd have a temp manager in.

Chelsea have a cocky young upstart with no pedigree.

Even the mighty Real Madrid have a half decent Spanish right back in charge.

Alonso? The system alone concerns me.

[Mr Pink]

SOS call to Klopp for me.

100%

Surely they’ve called him already and he said he wasn’t interested… but if he’s managing somewhere else next season and it came out that we never reached out, it’d be very frustrating. We should be calling him up and telling him to name his price

[danperkins]

We lost the league cup final this time last season and Newcastle created the blueprint to hurt us. Physical, direct football and since then we’ve been a 61 point team. We’ve been pretty **** for a full year now and we have 6 good months and 12 bad months.

I want him to go because he’s sucked the life out of the club now, his comments are delusional and he is way too harsh in public on his players, imagine how unmotivated he’d make you.

What I really can’t get my head around is how good he was and making subtle tweaks during the first part of the season that changed games for us. Now it’s the same dross over and over again. I saw a good tweet saying that we are tracking at 61 points over a year now - it then ended by saying this isn’t a 61 point team but rather a 61 point manager

this is spot on. We may to come to know him as Arne Ranieri.

I’d take a punt on Sebastian Hoeneß, high intensity pressing style.

I suspect his playing style ticks more boxes with the decision makers than Alonso’s does.

I would chose him over Alonso tbf, think he’d be a great fit for the club/city and the style of play, very similar to Klopps but also very much his own character.

While players need to take some of the responsibility it looks like they’re just not enjoying this football and it doesn’t suit them. There don’t look motivated at all by him.

[Buzzo]

The worst of it for me is the teams we are having poor results against. Some of them are absolutely ****e. Today for example a really poor game, but we were 1 nil up. Galatasaray were poor also imo.

I don’t know why we went all out attack when the game was won. Just bore it to the end. It would have been a **** 1-0. But we’d have won. Instead we have Dom going flat out all over the pitch and our formation just disappearing. The subs that came on seemed set to get us more goals which is fine, but the nuance should be in place that we need to win. It’s risk v reward.

The player I find myself pining for is prime Hendo. That manager on the pitch taking control. He’d just not have let it happen. We don’t seem to have any of that in our midfield.

[Norbs]

Where’s the AI summary on that? Like one of the Athletic articles I post

[SB]

And to think we used to be known as the mentality monsters back in Jurgen’s time where we never gave up if we were chasing a result. Nowadays we can’t hold on to one to save our lives.

[fidget]

He's been outcoached most games this season.

When has a manager ever pulled it back after producing football like this?

[Irishnev]

I’d take a punt on Sebastian Hoeneß, high intensity pressing style.

He’s highly rated but that’s a summer move

[Doc_Piptorious]

Yep, almost every decent manager is a summer move in terms of availability and would argue any good manager is a summer move in terms of a clean handover/slate.

It really is the opposite of what you’d expect at home especially.

Go at them early on and put teams under pressure. Don’t let them settle and build into the game. It’s happening over and over this season. The slow starts are killing the team and it means it ends in that hectic style because they’ve not got themselves into a position to have the game won.

Today is the perfect example of it. Spurs were they for the taking and are so fragile mentally. Get right into them and pin them back and pile the pressure on with high intensity football.
