Are you happy with the appointment of Arne Slot?

I was sold on Amorim at first, and was unsure about Slot when he was announced but that was from lack of information. Since Slot was announced though and I have done my research I am very happy and would prefer Slot to Amorim, plus if there is anyone in football I trust it is Michael Edwards.

Jurgen asked us to support him the way we supported him. We will back Arne Slot next season. He is a good manager, he just needs the support of the 12th man Anfield from the get go.

I will give him a chance and support him like I support Klopp ❤ YNWA.

Im really looking forward to this new era, Im excited to see what Slot can do with this super talented and exciting squad, if he can get the best out of the players we got we will look like a proper force! also hoping for a more controlled style of football, less injuries, more consistency, its gonna be fun :) the likes of Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Gakpo, Nunez, Carvalho, etc. can all very much benefit from his arrival

Hell yeah ! Slot is the right man for us !!!BELIEVE !!!!Thanks David.YNWA.❤🔴

Absolutely looks like a great choice, seems to have a similar rapport with the feyenoord fans as jurgen did with us as well which is a positive sign

Feyenoord got two more points than they did last year when they won the league PSV had a mad season this year that's the only reason feyenoord didn't win the league this season

Honestly one of the main selling points for amorim for me was that he can speak Spanish/Portuguese. Alonso too. We've got a lot of Spanish/Portuguese players now especially newer signings. But the 3 at the back formation was a worry, I thought they'd have to change it

Excellent overview on Slot's appointment. A lot of pertinent info. Great video.

Excellent analysis and information 👍

excellent post Dave, I do think the club has done very well with its first on-pitch major decision. perhaps even exceptionally well, that remains to be seen but the ingredients for that are there. Slot lacks PL experience and, unfortunately, that adjustment may costs us some points next season as it did with Klopp his first season getting acclimated to the intensity & frequency of matches; and managing the roster accordingly. But I think Slot may very well prove perfect for the next era of Liverpool. I have yet to hear insights into Slot's record for integrating youth into the first team setup, so if you develop any on this issue, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Liverpool seem bursting at the seams with young players ready for post-academy development at the Championship and/or PL level -- I am very anxious to see how the club goes about advancing the development of these players. Thanks agin Dave, you're the best!!

Lets support him and the Sky is the limit. YNWA

Feyenoord and Liverpool are my teams, so i really hope it will work. You never really know if what works at one team in one league works for another team in another league. But if it works, you people will see a beautifull pressing machine with fast forward thinking and technical savy attacks. This year i've seen games from Feyenoord where the other team barely crossed the midline.

Our fan base primarily consists of accountants, which explains their tendency to engage in discussions regarding the cost-effectiveness of our players, while other fans focus on winning trophies. Despite our accountant fans finding satisfaction in acquiring players at lower costs, they do not directly benefit from it. However, FSG's support extends beyond financial backing. For instance, they made significant changes, including dissolving Michael Edwards' recruitment team. This decision indicates a willingness to accommodate Klopp's preferences, underscoring his influence within the club. FSG's understanding of our fan base is evident in their strategic approach, maintaining a narrative that emphasises that we got no money, resulting in comparatively lower financial investments than clubs like West Ham and Aston Villa. Despite Liverpool's illustrious history, which includes six UEFA Champions League trophies, second only to Real Madrid and AC Milan, not to mention the league position and domestic Cup success, those fans who perceive FSG didn't back Klopp financially. This raises the question: why haven't these fans held FSG accountable? It appears that some fans allow emotions to cloud their judgment, failing to engage in critical analysis. This may explain FSG's emphasis on competing rather than solely focusing on winning. Furthermore, Liverpool FC is a globally recognised football club, generating a significant portion of its revenue from global TV rights and its expansive international fan base. Criticizing the club's management without attending matches is an unfounded and baseless claim.

Sounds great looking forward to see how it pans out 🎉

Slot should benefit from Jürgen having brought Liverpool forward since 2015. He does not start where Jürgen started once upon a time. Liverpool is just one big additional signing or an injury-free season away from being a true PL/CL contender.

Not going to lie, never heard of him until our interest was made known. I thought we wanted Alonso then Amorin.

Honestly, if we'd known Poch was going to get binned a few months ago, I'd have preferred us to go for him. However, I'm fine with Slot over the others we were linked with. At the end of the day, it's about having sound tactics, being able to get the players to play to them and not tolerating mediocrity. Where you managed and what you look like doesn't matter. If we win trophies, I don't care how boring the press conferences are.

Slot was also on the Bayern shortlist.

Cheaper, a yes man. Third choice. I still would like to know why klopps really leaving, Edwards and team back. Cause they wouldn't back him, power struggle.

Lovely job David. Did the due diligence turn up any Harkonnen connection?

Anyone who belives Slot was first choice is deluded we all know Alonso was first choice but he walked away. slot is a yes man who will have no power in tranfers edwards and hughes will sign all the players.klopp walked away due to knowing when edwards came back he was going to loose his power in who we went for in transfers. i hope slot does well as a liverpool fan we will gwt behind him but i have my concerns for the new season

There are experienced managers out there like Zidane, Tuchel, Conte, Allegri who have won major leagues at huge clubs and are more suited to a giant club like Liverpool than a guy from the Dutch league. Edwards has taken a massive risk on such an unproven manager.

If what you’ve said is true I am happy with the appointment. I’m slightly concerned that we would not consider changing formation for the right manager ( I know when teams do this it only takes a few injuries to mess up the team so I understand why FSG chose to pick a similar formation) but I think Inzaghi , Alonso and Amorim all won their leagues by at least 10 points with 3 at the back so it could be the way the next crop of Elite manager are going

Brilliant analysis - keep it up David. Love your commentary man ❤. We could do with a Manager that is lucky! Klopp was fantastic, but not the luckiest. Slot will need funding, otherwise I see us and him struggling big time. The PL is so tough vs Eredivisie. He will find it difficult, as high line/ aggressiveness is risky football strategy, most PL teams know how to play us now. Players get burned half way in season hence high # of injuries. Hence we need funding / bigger rounded squad. That’s why I would have preferred more defensive coach/style. I hope he has a plan B and Plan C for defence/game close out management otherwise we will struggle. We needed a Xabi Alonso to really give us the X factor. I’m not sure about Slot. Time will tell.

We will have to be patient. Remember how patchy and inconsistent Klopp's results were when he first arrived. We are in the second year of what Klopp called Liverpool 2.0, but now with a new coach. It will take time for the team to gel. We need to enjoy watching the team develop, just like we enjoyed seeing how Klopp changed the way the team played back in October 2015. The performance will be more important than the results. If we qualify for the Champions League again this season and see good performances that seem to be leading forward, that will be success.

We will know next year if his the right guy buy this time next year .

Are you going to change the intro from the klopp fistpump sound?

Xabi will move to Madrid. That’s the reason he skipped the Liverpool job.

Head coach, not manager......there is a difference.

I trust the set up at LFC to make good decisions. I believe in the structure and I'm sure there are great times ahead. Excited about the future.

This appointment is so similar to Celtic's move for big Ange 3 years ago. Fingers crossed.

By talking up Slot as the perfect successor to Klopp puts unnecessary pressure on him. Sounds like he's so perfect he cannot fail. That being said I hope he will bring us success.

Slot is a good choice however it's very hard to do well under fsg cuz they are about money & media control .

My main concern is that Slot is not a big name manager which can help attract players to the club. Listening to the players in their messages to Klopp alot mentioned talking to him before they signed, will Slot have the same pull?.. i feel this is where Rodgers struggled to attract top players.

Why isn't there a press conference for him? Just a question would like to see it

I think he will Slot in nicely…

After Atlantas performance this evening we would have better signing their manager and half thier players including hat trick hero Lookman . Composure / confidence/ ability:/ skill

I get bad vibes with him. I don't like how he acted trying to force through his move to Feyenoord which resulted in his sacking. Then he was opening his mouth about the Liverpool job long before it was officially announced. He was obviously 3rd choice, at best. My huge regret is that had Klopp stayed we had a solid structure behind the scenes, but this is on Edwards if Slot fails.

As well as a set piece coach we could probably do with a striker coach.I believe Ian Rush was one for us years ago.

We need to give Slot time to get to know the players, they also need to do the same with him and then get his system implemented.

ARNE SLOT IS IDEAL FOR LIVERPOOL HIS WAYS OF THINKING IS THE WAY LIVERPOOL IS HES YOUNG AND KNOWS HOW TO GET THE BEST OUT OF THE PLAYERS HIGH LINE AS WELL AND ITS THE DESTRUCTIVE OF LIVERPOOL IS WHY ARNE SLOT IS RIGHT FOR LIVERPOOL

You have to judge based on results only. Ask again at Christmas David!

In terms of formation, attitude and punching above weight, Arne looks great.

Slot will need time and patience. But once he connects to the fans and players, he will do well.

I'll be 100% behind him. But Malissa said it in her assessments of his attributes. He works well within a budget. He spent £30m? On 11? players, and won the title. This isn't Holland.

Let's be honest, in true FSG fashion we settled for 3rd best. Xabi turned us down, which there's nothing we could do about that, but with Amorim, it's nonsense that he wasn't chosen because of his style of play. It's a narrative that talking heads are pumping out. I believe that it was the Sporting chairman that took the knock about the leaks of his coach being linked to Liverpool. So despite agreeing a package with Liverpool and contracts exchanged with Amorim himself, the chairman had a fit and asked for double. To be fair, I don't blame the club for saying no and not being held to ransom, but this narrative of we were always looking at Slot, he was our man and look at the depths we went to, to research him, yada, yada! It's nonsense, we wanted Amorim over Slot and that's why we heard all of that before the U-turn on Amorim. The fact is Xabi turned us down, chairman of Sporting fcked it for Amorim and we went sloppy 3rd's with Slot. So please, stop the nonsense, you've been briefed and this is just a story to placate the fan base. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm seriously underwhelmed with this appointment to be honest, but who else would we have gone for? My issue is profile, because it's my belief that it could hamper transfers. If you're a top player you'd be wondering why you want to play for this guy because he's so unknown. In retrospect, I think deep down we all know it should have been Xabi. But qué sera, we move on, Slot it is. Hopefully it all works out. YNWA

Man you lot are a special breed. Every man and his dog knew what Klopp was about before LFC went for him. There was no research, no mystery, no hidden depth of understanding. Klopp was an open book and that open book told the same story. Comes in with super energy, motivation and 100 mph football. Only question was can it translation through a whole PL season without fatigue. Well thanks to mother Covid it did. Credit the guy there. After a few seasons of sapping energy, it wears on the players. His player ID is suspect, Ox for example, played well against LFC, hence always plays well. Any AFC fan will say he is a hit and miss player. Klopp is pigheaded on his likes. That all accumulates into a sell by date of about 7 years. Players tire of him, he becomes toxic with the owners, asking for specific signings (rather dumb ones) or in LFC case, demanding pensioners stay. That Dortmund last season wasn't a fluke and the these last 2 seasons weren't outliers. This was Klopp 101.

I can't make any judgement on this in hope for the best. Scorchio 😊

Slot could very easily become slop. He's like a mini version of Klopp and that never works. I would have gone for Tuchel for a year or two.

Yes

Hell yeah

Everything is conjecture, give the bloke a chance, I think someone said recently it's what they say when you leave, not when you arrive...

Keeping the seat warm for #Alonso

Hi David. My only concern is that no Dutch manager has actually set the Premiership on fire but if he's good enough for Jurgen he'll do for me YNWA

Recruited a yes man. Amorim clearly didn't fancy the coach role, as neither did Jürgen.

Not sure if he is the right man or not, to be honest I'd never even heard of until a month ago. I wish him good luck of course but concerned after long term managers leaving clubs how they struggle ie Ferguson and Wenger, both clubs struggled for a while and one of those 2 still is.

Massive gamble but we need to believe .

Slot has to stop the goalie & backs fiddle farting around with the ball in the goal area. If so, make Alison striker !

Preferred Mourinho or Eddie Howe

😻😻😻😻😻

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.

Hopefully he sounds the part if he meets the Liverpool cooks cleaners first He is a normal ONE

I hope he isn’t going to bring Dutch forwards with him. The team is good in that dept.

new brenden!

Probably the 4th choice

Slot can be a success with edwards working his magic. The 2 of them just need FSG to back them and splash the cash. Only way to properly compete with money bags city

Still under whelmed, saw Slott walk around Feyenoord ground waving on his own, Kloppo made sure his staff were with him. I hope he doesn’t have an ego like Rodger’s.

When Liverpool got those German guys in for "brain training", we completely fell apart the next season! 😂

Typical FsG ... I really want Arne to do well at LFC... he needs to get rid of some "stale Dross" and frankly players Who DONT stand up Nunez - 😞cash in Konate- salif daio 2.0 szolbo - keita yet again Robbo - thanks Gomez - phil babb 2.4

What about Klopp winning two league titles against the likes of Munich and CL finalist under a tight budget has more significance then the rest of the cosmetics thats stated…”brain training “..ok?.. results will show if the cosmetic.. is the reason..they get it right flowers to them.. hands down if not there nowhere to hide..

David why can’t we spend like arsenal? Arsenal are a side who have only just got back into the UCL after 7 years! I’m not suggesting that we go on splurges like chelsea, United and city! But when a generational talent or a top top player becomes available? Why can’t we make a serious attempt to sign them? The old narrative of “were skint we can’t compete with arsenal for a declan rice” is gaslighting the fans! And it shouldn’t be tolerated by the fans anymore.

well its a name that came out nowhere same as Klopp

I want xabi. 😢😢

Arne who???

Like darwin Nunez want him to stay please to good to sale yes.Darwin Nunez will get better I.no fantadtic.

Innocent until proven guilty. Believe!

Because FSG would not pay enough to get the best available, typical of FSG

You are so wrong. We as fans want to see our players fit for the whole season. That was almost impossible under klopp due to what he asked of the players. We could have won so much more had our players been able to get on the pitch. If the new manager is going to come in and run the players into the ground then we will not be expecting any glory from that as everyone in the league has adapted to that style we get caught out way to often. Shambles from The club if that was part pf their choice

Because hes a yes man and will coach the players with Edwards running the club. Just not interested in the man. He has done nothing to prove himself. Really gutted.

Enjoy a roy hodgson era, fsg knows how to find the cheapest option

You're a little late to the party, aren't ya with a video like this? Don't run a Liverpool channel, when you have no clue what to talk about next.

Slot is cheap n not demanding using the same players no chance top 4
