Arne Slot

[Scratch]

But for that to happen Slot would need to turn this **** fight around can’t see that happening personally

Unless he's being undermined from within by popular players, who may bear grudges, and who may be leaving anyway...

[SB]

Hmm let's see - am concerned our brains trust are doubling down on Slot to show they are the smartest people in the room

Or they are the smartest in the room and have Inzaghi lined up

So Tap In reports the exact same thing that was said about a month ago about how Enrique would be signing a new contract once the season ended.


Lump on Inzaghi at 12/, folks.

Oh wait our Luis Enrique dream might already be over, according to tap in merchant Romano https://www.football365.com/news/liv...abrizio-romano

I heard Zidane is looking at property on Merseyside

So is Beckham and Dilva..

He can get those wingers we need in Simao and Turan.

The value in what we did early in the data stuff was picking up players who were flying somewhat under the radar, they were decent players but not seen as world class (Salah, Mane, Robertson...) Last summer Isak, Wirtz and Ekitike weren't exactly subtle in that regard. While the data works, we need people with fight, desire, determination etc, the data doesn't tell you that

I can think of lots of ways you could use data to understand those things.

Regardless, I don’t think the team has a problem because of any of those things. They are for sure low on confidence but I don’t believe any are not trying.

The problems are tactical (poor coordination of pressing, gaps too large between players) and physical (lack of pace and injuries)

Pep is available

[Doc_Piptorious]

Maybe, but it seems we didn't even ask about him. For me, we missed out on a manager coming up, who cares if he wants to play a different system, we're not even playing a system today.

Says who though?

A bunch of guys posting on social media saying they have inside info?


The only people that know for sure are those at the club and Alonso and his people. For all we know we approached him and he was not interested or wanted too big a salary or whatever.

All just as likely as us not having tested the waters at all.


Makes no difference now either way. He chose Chelsea as the club he wants to go to, so that's that. All we can be hoping for is that whoever is in charge of Liverpool next season does a hell of a lot better than how things went this season.

[The_weatherman]

But that is assuming he would have chosen us. We as supporters are saying he would, but two jobs in a row at clubs where managers tend not to last but get massive salaries may say otherwise.


Said it before, I think Alonso is a fan of Liverpool but does not want to be the guy in charge of Liverpool.

For me I think we ned to stay away from ex players and the like. It rarely works out when a club legend player returns years later as a manager.

Kenny first time around does not count imo as he was still at the club when he became player/manager so was just a transistion whilst still with us, and he still had Bob and Joe helping out behind the scenes.

Kenny in his second period would be an example of a legend coming back to manage after years away.


Plus if we look at our recent history, say the past 40 or so years. How many of our ex players that became managers actually became established top class managers?

Much prefer to go after the very best manager we can get and let that guy build his own reputation with us whilst he rebuilds us on and off the pitch. We can then attach sentiment to him once we get to "know" him.

Are you trying to wish it into not happening?

not at all, I've recently joined the Slot out club

[Doc_Piptorious]

Hope Edwards goes as well tbh, I don't think you should put so much data emphasis on hiring the head coach/manager.

Communication, leadership and adaptability is hard to measure, Xabi would have gotten most if not all the fans on board instantly, someone like Nagelsman or Hoeness will not IMO, huge doubts over both of them, Hoeness has not won anything nor managed big players.
