The REAL Reason ARNE SLOT is KLOPP'S REPLACEMENT at LIVERPOOL

The REAL Reason ARNE SLOT is KLOPP'S REPLACEMENT at LIVERPOOL. So after being caught on the hop with the timing of my last video, let's have a proper chat about Arne Slot and why Michael Edwarda and Richard Hughes have chosen him as the new Liverpool manager.

Please, never underestimate how GREAT Bob Paisley was.

💯 I was thinking the same.

[@paullee5449]

Excellent point

[@xboxgamer300]

Came here to say the same thing 🙏

[@garethjones341]

Let's hope that Slot following Klopp is at least half as successful as Paisley following Shankly

[@jimflan1712]

I remember those times pretty well. It was my impression at the time (before Shankly resigned) that Bill had done a brilliant job in putting Liverpool to the top tier in domestic footy in England, but the team was making no progress in European footy and was continually caught short by the continental teams. I was a shocked as anyone else by Shank’s resignation. But i remember watching Bob Paisley’s teams in European games and being amazed at how quickly he had turned us into a ‘continental team’ - suddenly it was us catching teams on the break, amd it was us pulling balls back across the box (instead of crossing) for a midfielder or even defender to bury in the net, and it was us spoiling and wasting time. - we outdid them at their own game, and it was fantastic to see. He seemed to take domination of the domestic game as well as almost an inevitable add-on. So, as much as we all love Jurgen, please do not underestimate what a new guy can do with fresh ideas and an already quality squad to work with. The boot room process proved, even back then, that the right process and structure could provide sustainable success even across multiple managerial changes. Michael Edwards is probably the most capable bloke I can think of to put in place such processes and structure to repeat that. Exciting times ahead I think !

[@ReversingTheDecline]

Liverpool's entire playing staff from the academy to the first team are used to the 4-3-3 with high press attacking football. Alonso and Amorim did not suit that style, both preferring a back-3. Alonso, for all his professed love for Liverpool, DID NOT WANT the job! So then, the most logical move would be for Arne Slot, who ticks all the boxes: - good man-management - 4-3-3 - High press and good defence (even better than Liverpool) - Attacking football - develops players - promotes youth - charismatic - good with the media - represents the club well - not asking crazy amounts of money - wants to join Liverpool FC

Alonso succeeded because of his tactic (4-3-2-1) or (3-4-2-1), his accurate instruction that his players are disciplined, do not keep dribbling the ball more than it should be, and the high pressure on contenders! We do press on contenders, but with negative pressure (pass the ball from left to right and from right to left), slow in building up an attack, inaccurate in passes, hiding behind contender's defenders waiting for the ball! and very slow to cover back when the counter-attack against us. All contenders knew the tactic. That's why we stumbled many times and lost many finals! I hope Slot will concentrate on the "Discipline" before anything else!

[@hellouniverse807]

Great comment. Klopps philosophy is one of fear. The players seemed petrified of making mistakes. He called it heavy metal football, but I saw it as very risk averse. We need to be far more daring and I hope Slot diverges from the current system.

[@mlungisidlamini9864]

I couldn't have said it better myself

[@jperala658]

Klopp is obviously a great guy and human being and he always says the right things. People are right to love him. But his playing style is frustrating. His teams have always lacked strong midfields and especially goals from midfield. The midfield has always been the lowest priority for Klopp when it comes to transfers. We rarely work the ball through the midfield. It's always up either side or over the top after 2 minutes of Van Dijk and Allison passing the ball back and forth to each other. The best penetrating runs through the center are usually from Joel Matip. And, midfielders that like to score goals don't seem to want to play for him. It's why Coutinho, and Wijnaldum and Emre Can left and perhaps why Bellingham signed for Real Madrid. Mac Allister was played out of position much of the season. Szoboszlai has regressed after his impressive start. How many times has Elliot had a wide open shot on goal and chosen to force a pass into Salah or someone else instead?

[@johnmichaelson9173]

from even wat i knw, even good things come to an end... this squad needs a refreshing in terms kf management with all due respect to klop...i believe it was the right call for him to decide to leave... so i cant wait for next season to see how we wud fair without him

[@djvorn1]

He's the new manager so we have to stand with him. Everything I see about him I like. So we go on

[@fahedal-ajmi4015]

Let's be positive and welcome Arne Slot, YNWA.

[@Geohillierneo]

Finishing 5th, then 3rd in the last two seasons. Its not exactly "impossible" to replace. Yes Klopp has all the charisma, and I love him, but lets face it, Liverpool have declined since his earlier years at the club. One league title and one Champions League isnt unfollowable. Time for a fresh start, and lets hope the future is bright.

[@grlfcgombeenhunter2897]

Fair comment

[@williamfarrell4754]

Yes because any club can win 1 PL and 1 CL..... it's so EASY......that 18 other teams havent done that in how long????

[@mortenhallangen1933]

He is not replacing Jürgen. Edwards, Hughes AND Slot replaces him. Alonso and the others would never accept a Head Coach job.

[@laurencerich]

I've heard it was the playing style of Amorin that was an issue Amorin has a different playing style and would need another rebuild and a change of playing style through the whole club

[@samsingh3753]

Amorin didnt want to change his system from playing 3 at the back ,,thats not gonna work in the premi leaugue lol

[@jackdominiak445]

Our playing style hasn't won us much, so a change is needed, I suspect it was Amorim who knocked us back, mainly because his family didn't fancy living there

[@jonr2059]

Well we can only wait & see what he brings to the club. It's nervous but exciting times ahead for our beloved might reds. YNWA

[@christophercoey7804]

Heads up I'm an Everton fan... That out of the way, just to say Arne Slot was previously manager of Az Alkmaar, where he took them to their highest finish in the league. He took a woeful Feyenoord that were struggling and won the double with them, and he does have European experience. He took them to the UEFA conference final. They only lost on penalties to Mourinho's much more expensively assembled Roma side. Not here to have a pop or endorse, just offering some context. He was also on the short lists of Bayern and Barca at differing points. He plays 4-3-3 high press, so would guess the club are looking for continuity. That's me out...

[@SorchaCobhthaigh]

I think we all acept that next season could be a bit underwhelming but what we can do is give the team all the support we can. Some players will come and some will leave but overall I think we'll do better than people are thinking.

[@ste2472000]

We shouted Dalglish near the end of Hodgsons reign...yes initially we knew he wasn't the man and we accepted that but eventually we chanted for his head

[@andrewmurphy4116]

Melissa summed up why he's coming. When she explained his strengths. Budget. He's able to build teams with little money. (Example: spent 30m on 15? Players in Holland, and won it) This says more about the amount of money FSG are going to put back into Liverpool than anything

[@fayesouthall6604]

PL is premium cost for players.

[@andrewmurphy4116]

@@fayesouthall6604 I know. I'm just worried he's going to be shopping at Lidl, when the rest are in Harrods. Hey, don't knock Lidl. There's some great bargains. But you never know what it tastes like till you open the packet.

Totally true. For once i agree with this guy.

[@stevewaring6025]

Great balance of fan and grounded knowledge. Love the comments about old girl friend and new girlfriend to suit our next entailment in LFC . Thanks klopp ,we now move on

[@noamilan5950]

He's going to be brilliant

[@MumonguGaming]

You have to give him every possible chance. We are Liverpool and will back him to the hilt. Looking forward to Pre-Season under new regime. Klopp will always be a legend and will ultimately be a tough act to follow, let's give Arne every opportunity. I don't expect anything other than a top 4 finish in his 1st season and good runs in cups, but 2nd season he has to be challenging for everything, it's the Liverpool way.

[@johnread7404]

I'm looking forward to this. You have to be careful what you wish for in football, but some fresh ideas, and a fresh voice might be good for the club.

[@adiesmith3470]

At first I was against anyone replacing klopp but I've become more accepting of the idea that he won't be around next season and I'm interested to see what slot can dowith the player's Liverpool have .

[@FritzFrank]

Thanks for the content

[@barrydainton502]

Love klopp the best we've had since paisley but over achieving this season last season not very good season before won two cups missed out on league on last day and lost champions league final i think the time is right for him to leave because of the performances season this he cant seem to motivate the team anymore nobody's giving slot a chance but who knows we might have unearthed a gem fingers crossed potentially sounds good and wants the job so must have confidence in his abilities to deliver so lets give him a chance

[@Hedgie-zq4wf]

"Had a bit of success after Shankly" , really Maych?? Paisley, our greatest ever manager, followed Shanks and took us to another level completely. That's Paisley, the Cardigan wearing, Pipe Smoking & Quiet Spoken Genius!! Slot could be the next Paisley as I see Klopp being a lot like Shanks was with the larger than life persona.....maybe we need a quiet, easy going fella to kick us on now, who knows. The lad will get my full support!!

[@evandipasquale9255]

Slot seems like a safe choice, he plays a similar system to klopp so won't require a huge investment in the squad. And if it doesn't work out they can say he was a stop gap until they land the manager they were actually after, a sacrificial lahm.

[@carlseddon1650]

I'm excited for it. He's experienced. Looks like he's perfect for it.

[@Brutaldt0]

I'm Hungarian and I'm biased against Szobo, so I would remove it from the list. He didn't convert two chances, one he really messed up, the other was a huge goalkeeping feat, which I don't think is his fault. At the same time, his teammates took at least 4 assists from him in this set-up alone, and there were quite a few more throughout the season!

[@lcfnyc2007]

Hey, my 2 cents here: i think you maybe are viewing this a tad too sentimental and romantically. I belong to the probably more cold/sober and boring crowd of Liverpool fans that measure team, coach and players on obtained results. Therefore I believe the other and more romantic/sentimental Liverpool fans have been somewhat too much charmed by Klopp's overall likeability and neglected to look at his overall results in a more analytic manner. Here is the verdict. He has been here 9 seasons. He has won 3 major silverware and these within the matter of 3 back to back seasons. 2018/19 He won the Champions League. 2019/20 He won the Premier League and 2020/21 he won the FA Cup. I don't consider the EFL cup, Super Cup, Community Shield and the Club World Cup as high ranking achievements as the above mentioned to be included. In addition to this there has been 3 "near misses" in Klopp's time as manager. Also called runner-up results. After loosing Mane and Firmino Liverpool's firepower had never really returned in the same way. I believe this season choosing Nunez and Gakpo over Jota as a third fiddle alongside Diaz and Salah has been a huge mistake made by Klopp and is part of the reason why the team have failed winning important games at the end of the season. He never really gave neither Solanke or Carvalho a proper chance to prove their worth by just giving them 5 minutes here and there and thus wasting their time and talent and have missed out on skilled firepower they now both properly have proved they are in possession of. Arne Slot's style of (and also typical for Dutch) football looks really promising and fun to watch, but at the same time i can see several players like for instance Matip, Robertson and Jones would struggle with this fast forward moving one-touch tiki-taka style of football, maybe even Endo. I think Arne Slot might be highly underrated and a potential gem in the making that would deserve such an upgrade, given he is given resources to strengthen the team with players that fits his style of playing football.

[@jackdominiak445]

Spot on!!! Klopp is a romantic & a spin meister, a bit like shanks, he's never been a serial winner and lost far more than he has won with us. Seville Real Madrid 4 run ins, where we dropped points, when we shouldn't. We need a Bob Paisley, a true winner and a manager who got rid of players, just as they were passing their peak, not offering them huge contracts and Bob would never hold on to players who were constantly injured!!!

[@maveriks463]

Interested to find out what happened with Amorim he's a young talent... And would bring good knowledge of Portuguese football talent spotting..... Its a loss... So we move to Slott... He needs to be backed with reinforcements at a minimum 2 defensive+ progresssive CDMs with technique+ legs.... If not he is likely to struggle.... I think he would have done better at a Chelsea... We we get behind him... But its whether Edwards gets behind him with Midfielders that will make him sink or swim..... Up the reds...

[@mjsee08]

I've said many times in recent years, particularly 2018 to 2022 that we are living the best of times. Make the most of it because nothing lasts forever and one day it'll be over. In recent weeks the realisation is setting in that the era is coming to an end. Klopp is more than a football manager. I remember the day his appointment was confirmed and I immediately knew it was going to work. That is incredibly rare in life generally. So yes broadly I agree he cannot be 'replaced' and it would be ridiculous to try, but life goes on and the club will find another way as it has done many times in the past. I thought Klopp would stay until 2026 - which was his contract extension - then call it a day, so the chances are people like Xabi and Amorim also thought the job wouldn't come up until 2026, so it's come too early for them. Imagine if Alonso wins another Bundesliga and maybe a European trophy in the next two seasons, he'd have a CV similar to when Rafa Benitez came in 2004. I feel most for the younger supporters - I'm 35 so my memories start around Roy Evans era, in other words I clearly remember Liverpool being fairly crap at times. If you're much under 20 you don't know anything other than Klopp, you probably don't remember Hodgson (lucky bastards) and those fans are in for quite the shock, whereas I know it's possible that we drop down into the 'Champions League chasers' group of clubs (at best) or bounce between 4th and 8th like we did before Jurgen. Hopefully we do better than that - I do think the structure at the club is different to United or Arsenal for instance when they really struggled after Ferguson/Wenger left, because they were the last old fashioned managers who controlled the entire club. FSG obviously feel it's more important to get their old Edwards structure back in place - and it's also obvious Edwards must've left due to differences with Klopp and a popularity contest he'd never win. The fact is though since Edwards left, we have gone a bit wobbly in terms of transfers etc and generally how we do business. I suppose what i'm getting at is even Jurgen Klopp doesn't get everything right, in some ways it's good that we end the season 3rd with a good run in the league and the Carabao Cup because it gives Slot scope to make things better - he's got a lot to work with but there's also areas he might be able to improve.

[@Theduffer25]

After what ive seen since our return from International Friendies Break im ready to pray. Whats going on at LFC behind the scenes. I stopped reading updates after Alonso, exhausting stuff while team chasing the Quad. Id imagine the players heads are fried ( no excuse ). Shambles & ive never heard of Slot whats going on lads 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@gwilymthomas3699]

I’m up for this. He seems the right kind of profile for us and I trust that Edwards and co have done their research. What’s Slot’s done at Feyenoord is interesting and as a city, there’s similarities between Rotterdam and Liverpool which is useful. If Slot can build a relationship with the city and get the fans on board, happy days. It definitely helps when a manager can connect with the city. Houllier, Rafa and Klopp were all able to do that well and hopefully Slot can do that too.

[@robertgalloway3771]

A sensible approach, open minded, and suppoert!

[@JamesBermingham]

Prejudice is off the scale with this appointment. Just imagine if we got Bar Bar Bar with this Slot machine🤓. There you go, there’s my contribution. Got to be given a chance. Let’s wait and see. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@MrTica]

You'll be positively surprised with Arne Slot as a coach because he's brought each team he coached to a higher level. Secondly what you're saying about the Dutch League is not accurate because the Dutch League overtook the Portugese League (now in 7th place) already and are now in 6th place. A little research would have brought you to the same conclusion. 🤷🏾

[@salexa171]

I understand your take, and I’ll miss Klopp. I don’t want to be totally in the recency bias but if Klopp is feeling the burnout there’s a chance someone coming in with the energy can be better than the Jurgen Klopp of say next season or the season after. Whether you’re a player or a manager there’s a time to cut ties and though I think Klopp wasn’t on a Mourinho like slide there’s a chance it could have gone that way. It’ll always be a gamble and it was going to happen at some stage. Ripping the band aid off could be the right call for everyone.

[@GM99MG]

I agree with your comments, we won’t know what Slot is gonna be like with Liverpool… we should just accept the fact that we have to replace Klopp and this guy is the clubs/FSG’s choice and we should get behind him and give him a chance.

[@kevinj.harrison9595]

Gary O’Neill was the fella - Can’t underestimate the value of Premier League experience and can clearly manage the dynamics between players and owners in the modern football club structure + environment……
