Why does it feel like there’s a shortage of everything in football at the moment? Quality managers, CDM’s, Striker prospects…

[@scatterbrainjon79]

Over-coaching, too much focus on statistics and analytics. Leads to over-thinking. Football will always have random outcomes. The best way to deal with that is to use instinct. So it's important to get the right balance.

That is what happens when you make a Bournemouth executive football director of Liverpool, low ambition and not adapting to the size of the club. This guy has failed in Europe and winning the Dutch league because Ajax have sold all their best players is not a high achievement.

@@pip1723 Yes we have, a year ago he was being linked to Tottenham. I think success in the Dutch league is not a big enough achievement when you see the low level of the Dutch league and Ajax become extremely bad in the last few seasons. He also has a mediocre record in Europe and Dutch coaches at big clubs have flopped for the past 10 years, showing in general they are not good. My big hope is he is only keeping the seat warm for Xabi

[@joncoish]

You’re right, we should just go for a big name regardless of anything else. We need to bring in either Jose Mourinho or Thomas Tuchel!!!!111 Seriously though, let’s please not do that. My point is many of the big names out there have been tarnished a bit so for teams to get what they want maybe they’ll have to get lesser known managers. It’s a bit disappointing because it doesn’t feel like this was our first choice, despite what Liverpool may say. Seems they wanted Alonso but he didn’t take the job, and they’ve moved on from Amorim. I’ve seen things suggesting Amorim may have overstepped his bounds a bit asking for too much. I’ve also heard people say this is a good fit because his style is similar to Klopp. Ok it may be exciting but will it win PL titles? As good as Klopp has been he’s won one PL title. That is partly because they’ve gone up against maybe the best team in history, but still.

[@Alexander-kc8oq]

@@Delboy0 Hahaha what? Hughes was responsible for replacing Gary O´Neil and bringing in Iraola even though O´Neil did a good job keeping them up last season. And that was becase Hughes saw that Iraola brought more to the club long term than O´Neil. And now Bournemouth are doing better than the team who O´Neil took over despite having significantly less resources at their desposal.

After a 5th place in 2020 Slot arrived. Feyenoord was in the worst state it had ever been. So broke that the club had to sell their captain and topscorer to their long lasting and bitter rival Ajax. Together with Frank Arnesen he started a new building proces. Imagine starting at a club being able to spend no more than 1,5 million for a player. Together with Arnesen they brought in players that were on loan. With that group they reached the Conf.L final. After that season the players on loan left and key players were sold. Again a new building proces started and again players on loan came in adding some young boys from the dutch championship. And this season it became obvious the style of play remained the same even with 70% of the players being new. As one of the poorest club they went on to win the Dutch league with their given nickname at the start of the season "The Foreign Legion" it was meant sarcasticly but it became legendary. This season Feyenoord is still on the same track as it was last season however PSV went on a buying spree and for now they only lost once having a tally of 31W-27D-3-1L/ G 103-17 With 3 matches to go wich is insanely good. I hope Liverpool goes for Mourinho and Arne stays at my Feyenoord🙏

[@Delboy0]

I think we could be getting Ten Hag 2.0 because winning the Dutch title when Ajax has sold all their players and are terrible is not an achievement and his teams have been trash in Europe. I fear we will become a mediocre team under him. Dutch coaches don’t win the big trophies. But I guess this is the level of ambition you have when you appoint Bournemouth football director to be Liverpool football manager football. We are back to Brendan Rogers years now were we can’t attract top talent.

[@marcedwards5583]

Everyone who knows Slot compared to Ten Hag believes Slot is the real deal. As a man manager, as a force of personality, as all the things we like about Klopp. Sure his track record is not as convincing as Klopp, but I think he fits in and is a more commanding presence than Ten Hag. You need to have the authority where the players want to go and play for you. Ten Hag is missing that. Liverpool will make the right managerial appointment and I believe Slot deserves a chance. I am more convinced by him than by Almiron

[@magicbuddha7243]

Arne Slot is more similar to Hiddink as a character and in terms of play he is similar to Klopp, Guardiola, whereby he stands for a certain type of football instead of being a tactician. He believes in super solid defences with high pressing, high intensity and very attractive, attacking football. He excels in quickly inspiring and guiding his players to be the very best version of themselves, while preserving harmony among the players on and off the pitch. LFC cannot be compared with ManUnited as LFC always plays for the big trophies and therefore Slot can build on an existing strong structure. Similar to Klopp he cares for his players and is very charismatic.

[@RonnyWelles]

"instead of being a tactician" Eh, slot is known for being tactically really strong.

You're confused with ten Hag, this is Arne Slot... totally different level.

[@hills863]

Hmm, if you compare him to Ten Hag, you should try again. Ten Hag come from Ajax, richest club in eradivisie, inherited good squad from previous manager. Come to United, one of very mess club in term of management, rich club, spend big but not get the results because they're mess. Arne slot manage AZ and Feyenoord when both clubs not in good condition, with limited budget and bring both clubs to much much better condition. He developed young players. Also if he come to liverpool, liverpool environment as a club much much better compare to United

Can't remember English manager who success in PL tho. And I don't understand the smug of PL fans who called other leagues as farmers league. EPL already become farmers league, if you want to use that term. City won the league many times back to back. No PL clubs in UCL and UEL semifinal.

People are just randomly spreading nonsense without deepening themselves in the man's character and tactical ability. Hands down as a Dutch I can say that what this person has done to the club Feyenoord was a wayyyy more difficult achievement than the continuation of success that Erik ten Hag did at Ajax. He only took more shine because of that one CL season. Anyway if he comes to Liverpool he will proves you all wrong, mark my words

@@matthewbaker2573 again completely unaware of the real story. Ajax have always been selling their main players, same like any other club. No dismantling from eth whatsoever. It's the shockingly bad replacements of players they brough in via the sports director/scouting (e.g spending this summer Dutch record amount of 100+ milion on incoming players). We last year won the trophy with half the budget and Ajax having players like Kudus, Tadic, Bergwijn, Timber, Alvarez etc. Ah and to add, they were milessss behind us, not three points.

@@matthewbaker2573 so the ones I named above you would rate less good than the once he took with him? Just deepen yourself in Dutch club culture. Every club tends to sell appr 4 to 5 main squad players to the better leagues in the summer as it is part of the business model. Therefore it gained it's image it has until this day as one of the best leagues to develop talents. The key is how to invest the money made correctly. This was done absolutely horrendous by Ajax due to lack of people on managerial positions and internal struggles in the board. EtH leaving the club has nothing to do with that as he was gone long way before that all started. Ah and to give you some more insight. Slot had to rebuild a squad after his first season at Feyenoord reaching the conference league final with 15 (!) outgoing players in the summer. Guess what, he didn't involve himself on which players to come instead but trusted the scouting. And with the new lads he played football that demolished the league and won him the title.

His conversion rate before injury was 23% & now it's 6%. If Jota had stayed fit, & Gakpo baby came a few hours later LFC wud be champs narrowly. JOTA'S CONVERSION rate is an amazing 33% per football pundit king Souness (& on big chances Jota converts a world best 66% per Rio) - LFC has 1 worldy clinical finisher & ManC has 2 in Haaland & Alverez. Anytime u win a cup & get into UCL, its a good season, so be grateful & stop moaning. Emyln Hughes & Cyrille Regis & Geoff Astle all died before age 60 & never got to see their kids married or play footy with teenage grandkids. Brighton will defeat Man C & Arsenal will be favourites & both have loseable games vs Spurs. LFC have a 15% chance but its better than a 1% chance.

[@rulifaller8474]

There are never a lot of top managers available. Especially when you want someone that could be at the club for a long time as Liverpool seem to want, and which seems wise also given their squad. So called top coaches like Conte, Tuchel or Mourinho never last more than two years and all they want is to buy big name players. Nagelsmann somehow has a big name, but not a great history of winning trophies, and at the one big club he managed he was out after a very short time. There are only a few managers who have been at top clubs for a long time to build something. Klopp is one, Pep another, Arteta becoming one, Simeone, and that is it really. None of those obviously are available. And they hardly ever are, because they stay at one club for a long time. De Zerbi and managers like that have build a name at smaller clubs with unknown players. Brighton is in the PL, but Feyenoord is a much bigger club with more history and a very big fan base and media scrutiny.

[@MichaelDomer]

> "No chances of winning the league with that manager" Shut the f8ck up imbecile, this guy is seriously good, and when the Dutch say that, you better believe them, considering they know more about football than you guys do, look at your national team for the last 50 years... junk... and the Dutch? 3 world cup finals, and once champion of Europe. All you can do over there in England is spending tons of money on foreign players and then pretending that the English teams are the best in the world Oh yeah, with only 5 English players playing at Liverpool. If Liverpool would be 100% English and with little money to spend, they would be of the level Schalke '04 in Germany! 🤣

We seem to want to follow Man U's failure. He will be another Erik ten Hag

[@knursimulu5281]

This is not an LFC manager. LFC needs a manager that 1) fix the defence, 2) play a less aggressive pace to keep players fit until the end of the season, similar to City or Arsenal, 3) build a creative attack to score against low-block side. Winning trophies require a solid defence. The only managers that fit this model is Tuchel and Mourinho. I would favor Mourinho as if given the proper players, he will thrive!

[@MichaelDomer]

> ""The only managers that fit this model is Tuchel and Mourinho" Mourinho....lol.... we all saw what kind of an overrated coach that was at United lol And secondly... after the players has such a likeable coach like Klopp, they should be happy with someone like Mourinho? Too funny. Tuchel? 😂😂😂 This the first time in 11(!) years that Bayern doesn't win the German title, that guy sucks. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@StuTheDon17]

De Zerbi is overrated. He took over from Potter who had done all the hard work at Brighton and even had the team firing before he left to Chelsea. We're seeing how average De Zerbi is this season. They've been in Europe and had some injuries, and he hasn't managed it well at all. Emery is a better manager and would do a better job at Liverpool.

@@tarique1700 You do realise Alonso is Basque so being Real Madrid coach is not ultimate dream. If you know your Spanish culture Basque people seem themselves as more Northern European than Spanish. And are more adaptable to North European countries, which is why he settled in England and Germany so well and why the Premier League has had 4 Basque coaches in the last 2 years. I think if he is available in 2 years he will pick Liverpool over Real Madrid, he just didn't want to follow Klopp.
