All the CEOs in the comments...relax yourselves... if Edwards thinks Big Sam is the man for us then back until proven otherwise... what garuntees us there that Xabi would have been GREAT... 2/3 seadons ago y'all wanted Gerrard after Klopp how's THAT looking... chill FFS 😊YNWA

Welcome to Liverpool slot, you'll never walk alone

[@thekarayiz]

For Slot to win things, it's beating two teams domestically, Man City w/Pep + $$ (powers) and Arsenal w/Arteta + their change in approach when spending $$. Reminder: Slot will still be working under a budget (that's top 7 on avg. in the premier league if not 10) just as Klopp did but will be expected to do better. It's all good for Edwards to filter down players with potential on his laptop that fit the club's budget, it's a whole new ball game coaching those players to hit their required heights like Klopp did (a hit rate that needs to be in the high 90s percentile). The last time a Dutch club won the CL was in 1995 (which means beating the likes of Real/PSG/Munich). Slots turn to turn us from doubters to believers. Time will tell.

[@imrans2784]

Was very sceptical initially but on further inspection, Arne Slot seems to have the coaching and the personality and aura needed to be a successful Liverpool manager. I’m fully excited to seeing him manage our club next season

[@Jacksonynwa]

If he slots between klopp and gardiola in the achievement list that will do nicely

[@markforster8865]

He is very good friends with Pepijn Lijnders, speaks regularly with Pep Guardiola who already expressed how much he respects Slot 2 years ago.

[@Icwuds]

Liverpool is lucky tough most of the reds don't seem to understand it. And don't compare the Slot machine with ETH - and if you do you should compare budgets first. Ajax also tried to get him but Feyenoord outplayed - you can see the effects ever since

[@sanmateoflights]

He's going to be fantastic for Liverpool. He's a younger version of Klopp and Pep.

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@reezevlog]

dont quickly blame FSG for any appointments of staffs/players etc… in a football club, it’s the sporting director n his team that makes the picking on who is good for theh club, and usually in a long term.. ppl forget sometimes that, owners are just owners, they hired someone to run the club from the pitch to the office levels..

[@tishfox2858]

I'm well up for Mr Slot.😊👍🤞🔴

[@rubenmurria1270]

Hello sir, how many years will Arne Slot be in our Liverpool fc?

[@stevejones3868]

I’m looking forward to “He’s not too emotional” bit.

[@Jacksonynwa]

With Arne "we'll be back" to winning titles

[@kevinbiggar3441]

9 points off PSV this season - that’s kind of what Liverpool are - almost winners. So he would fit in nicely. Especially with this current crop of players. TH was top of the table when he went to United and he has struggled in the PL. PL is a different beast. Nothing to be excited about.

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

Liverpool have been up against oil money cheaters for years but still got to a CL trophy before them, and won plenty more. Go and support MC if you only care about winning something every year

[@Feyenoord-el8ip]

We have 1 point more than last season when we became champions, but PSV has risen above itself by losing only once

[@GazLan]

there is everything to be excited about

[@kevinbiggar3441]

@@nonnayoubuzinnes1669 what kind of logic is this? You got upset when we lost in the FA cup, when we lost in the Europa league and when we lost our recent league games to put us out of league contention. Why are you getting upset if it’s not about winning cups. Don’t begrudge city because they have money. They have the best players and the best manager and that’s why they win. And that’s why I want a manager that can compete with Guardiola and arteta and likes. I don’t want a manager that plays good football and maybe wins a cup. Results do matter and I’m saying this guy is probably going to be out of his depth in this league. This guy was second best to TH in the league and we see how TH has struggled to adapt to the toughest league in the world. I think it will be a step too far for him. I’m happy to be proved wrong.

[@user-ku1tv6zq6q]

Your never walk alone

[@anthonyburn1010]

Seems like an excellent choice after Alonso ruled himself out. I think his profile matches up well with the club and owner ethos and a better fit than the likes of De Zerbi.

[@ICGedye]

Do we need to finish 2nd or 3rd every year?

[@edmundpower1250]

Like we do already under Klopp ?

[@redboyjan]

In a league with plastic cheats in Manchester, yes

[@stealth117chen8]

Abel Pereirra from Palmeiras 💪💪💪

[@garymorgan75]

This geezer could be a stopgap for Alonso in a couple of seasons

[@shankarsiv]

Or Ancelotti is the stopgap for Alonso. Let's see.

[@svlagonda7417]

Arne Slot is a cross between Brendan Rodgers and Ten Hag.

[@reezevlog]

trust Michael Edwards……

[@rubenmurria1270]

What price have we paid?

[@shakirghazali2890]

He is next eric ten hag but liverpool version thats how he is

[@GazLan]

How insightful! can you tell me the winning euro millions numbers for tonight while you're at it as the futures set in stone obviously

[@rabarberellum1017]

May I advice Liverpool to buy the next Virgil v Dijk if they do decide to take Slot in the name of Van de Ven from the Spurs. Those two together would be a perfect start for a new era.

[@reezevlog]

leave that to Slot to choose his squad……im sure he will bring in some of his former players or someone from the Dutch league..

[@redboyjan]

Haha Levy won't let that happen

[@rabarberellum1017]

@@redboyjan Im afraid you're right. Would be a good match though

[@redboyjan]

@@rabarberellum1017 if he's at spurs there must be something wrong with him

[@CidersAndReligiousCrusades]

Steve Gerrard

[@martinstewart2093]

The new manager cannot do any worse than Brendan (i love myself) Rogers or the worse manager ever..Roy Hodgson.. each European coach we have had has won silverware.. let's get behind Arne, look forward to him being at Anfield. We will miss Jurgen enormously and never forget him.Arne could just be the man to fill the slot!!!

[@Liv_822]

❤

[@StuartHome]

Who is Arne Slot? Eredivisie Dutch League Is somet I don’t know much about Looks like Michael van Gerwen !! Lol

[@jefffoster7105]

So he,s not really like Klopp at all . Most good teams press now but it doesn't mean they like Liverpool..or Klopp Calm and not to emotional ! So nothing like Klopp at all 😂😂 .Going to be interesting. YNWA

[@afctaylor12]

Good luck with that. belachelijk

[@KyleWallacekev]

Dont do it, he is coming from a midtable league.

[@RobertColl-xl8co]

Carmelhester

[@MillerFobbs]

He'll need to break the squad up, because the last four weeks have shown they're not good enough. Joe Gomez? No thanks.

[@TerribleEnglish]

I don't think so. They've just downed tools it looks like. It often happens when a manager is leaving; the players can't be bothered putting the effort in

[@MillerFobbs]

@@TerribleEnglish A first eleven can carry two players having bad performances and the whole team can get by. Eight outfield players can carry the load of two who aren't performing. Eight of the outfield players on wednesday didn't do it. A shame the Klopp years are ending on a sour note, though it is now especially imperative that the new man begins breaking up the squad.

[@redboyjan]

Ridiculous comment. Grow up

[@MillerFobbs]

@@redboyjan Piss off, stick to carrying your Liverworld around the ground on match day.

[@davewood1982]

So the headline/story to take away from this insight into our new manager is 'Arne Slot is huge admirer of Pep Guardiola' ? Says it all really doesn't it!

[@fitzbarbel]

An obvious question here is......Why the fuck did the mancs go for Ten Bob when all the time Arne was waiting for a big break? Great isn't it...they are going to shit fire-alarms if Arne comes in and hits the ground running while Dutch Ten Bob is still kacking the bed trying to assure us that the bearded bed-wetter is Captain material in a failing side.

[@andy8026]

Ten Hag was performing better at the time, thropy wise. Slot was then an upcoming headcoach.

[@zulutgseta8276]

The slowest manager than the turtle 😁😁😆😆😆😆😆

[@redboyjan]

Nice video. Awful music

[@kayhass2510]

Who tha F is this guy??

[@RealMadridfan561]

He was our 3rd choice I can't spent 2 years in depression

[@TerribleEnglish]

Get ready for the 4th choice after they fill Arne in on the tiny budget he'll have and little say on transfers, etc.

[@GazLan]

Was he though, because the media says?

[@redboyjan]

If you believe the media like a sheep

[@andreiiancu8969]

Salah was the second choice, I really really would have prefered Brandt🙄

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

The guy is 9 points behind PSV in a donkey's league and being compared to Klopp and Pep😆😆😆

[@thejohngalt]

Please stop all this nonsense even before he has started. If he is between Klopp and Pep, why did no one else sign him? Just let him get started.

[@Osmosis909]

Who cares? He’s not a top coach, why are we even looking at him?? Why are we going from an elite coach to a nobody? Make it make sense.

[@simonspeedo8122]

Yeah plus Dutch football is quak at the moment too

[@reezevlog]

trust Michael Edwards….. if he picks someone that’s good for the club, most of the time he’s right…

[@TerribleEnglish]

Make it make sense? Easy: we're a small, budget club who punch above our weight..
