He’ll Slot right in

Me either. It wasn't humble Kloppo. It was honest dutch discussion. I think we are being hard on the new bloke who's just started going out with our Mum.
Uh-oh. Another trigger.

FFS why do Americans in particular (or maybe I just watch too much US TV) say 'Me either'? It's horrific ! Me neither, SvP.
 
Porn star - you bang fit women and get paid for it, granted you don't get paid as much as the women but still. Although what's with all these porn stars killing themselves?
After banging that many hot women what's left to live for?
 
The biggest issue I have with Slot ... not that I haven't mentioned this before ad nauseum ... is that he has only ever performed in the Dutch league. It's like having only ever acted at your local drama group before going to Broadway or the West End. Just because his teams can successfully implement his tactics in the ridiculously low on quality Eredivisie doesn't mean they will translate to the PL.

Yes I know some say it's cheap and inaccurate to compare him to Ten Hag but aren't the basic premises the same? Wildly successful in the Eredivisie but with zero experience outside of the country? I simply don't think that metrics can be used in the same way with managers as they are with players.

I hope I'm wrong and will support him but I'm not optimistic. Come on Edwards, rub my face in it, you know I'll love it if you do.
 
Didn’t Klopp only do it in Germany and Benitez in Spain before we signed them?

Would you be saying Almiron has only done it in Portugal?
 
Yes but why isn't obvious. Is it for the dog shagging or football tactics? We need clarity.
I don’t care, it’s not endearing to Liverpool now is it? Sure you can respect him like Klopp does but don’t idolise a cheating dog shagger who has turned a blind eye while preventing us from our rightful success

TBF he’s managed in European competitions too and took Feyenoord to the Conference League final on the first try. Building up European pedigree with a super young team takes time and he couldn’t quite replicate that cup run in subsequent seasons (eliminated by AS Roma all 3 times), but overall you could say Slot has slightly outperformed Amorim in Europe.

Also, Slot’s ambition (for which he’s getting a fair bit of stick) means his tactics are very much informed by the likes of Guardiola, Spalletti etc - he is not designing a product “for local consumption” only. His style looks like it will translate to any league.

When were The interviews?
I want to see his power-points.
And a video of The whole thing.

I would’ve had Emery too but that was a no go.

It’s still just one league though. I can see the point it’s a different level but the gap between them isn’t as wide as some like to make out.

If we were to completely dismiss the level of the division should we only sign players from England, Germany and Spain? If those in charge think any player or manager is good enough let them prove it.

Even if you were to look at the more popular leagues who could you get? Inzaghi isn’t leaving Inter for anyone. The Bologna manager has been sacked twice this decade including having a side at the bottom of the league. The only upcoming manager in Spain is the Girona manager who is part of the city group so that’s a no go. Germany only has Tuchel and Alonso and neither will leave their posts.

People are losing their shit because the talent pool isn’t great at the time Klopp decided to call it quits.
 
I've a Dutch Aunt. She is like this.

I don;t get the hate for the presser at all.
Is she like Peter Parker’s aunt in Spiderman?

Just gonna have to accept the fact that we've got a tiktok influencer alpha male in charge and ignore him hyping athletic greens and brain force plus on the side because it's just standard Dutch behaviour.

Maybe if he gets to promote his affiliate codes, the club will get a discount on his salary.
 
I know nothing about Slot but he seems like a good manager from what I've read.
Not the most ideal timing to take over the club, though. Maybe good for the kids and the players returning from loan moves, but with the EURO's and Copa America being played this summer, I'm not sure he'll have much time building a squad that suits him.

I'm sure there will be players at those tournaments who overperform who we can buy and be disappointed by
 
If we could secure good replacements, I’m sorry to say I’d sell gakpo, gravenburch, Darwin and maybe sboz.
