Zatman Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 It must have been a decision between Slot and Gerrard for the job because Carragher has already started having a pop at Slot. He doesnt have the Liverpool manager DNA whatever that means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Liverpool were going through a banter period before Klopp took over (that one slippy season aside). But so far, Emery is performing better than Klopp did in his first 2 seasons: Klopp: Took over from Rogers in October when Liverpool were 10th and finished 8th; Second season finished 4th Emery: Took over form Gerrard in November when we were 17th and finished 7th qualifying for Europe; Second season on course to finish 4th and reach a euro final 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually City only knocked them out once in a cup game So what you’re saying is they’d have 3 PL titles instead of 1? It feels like a fairly significant difference.

Genie Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 There’s a great video I cannot link here as it was on facebook where TAA makes absolutely no effort to compete for the header when DLC scores Everton’s second goal. Absolutely pathetic from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely pathetic from him. Watched the game and sent this to my Dad (we always discuss the games watching etc): "Alexander-Arnold did NOT WANT to defend that " He's such a weird player because he's technically brilliant, has a phenomenal passing range, great crossing ability and has a good shot on him... but defensively he's just so weak. He's pretty much one of Liverpool's best players but doesn't really work in the position he plays - it's so odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) I wouldn't rule out at least a 2 or 3 year dip for Liverpool with Klopp leaving and possibly Salah, VVD and maybe other key players involved in previous successes. Hopefully this incoming Dutch coach does a 10 Hag and we take full advantage. It also would not surprise me if Henry shuts the faucet off and imposes some Red Sox-style austerity for a few years.

OutByEaster? Posted April 26 Moderator Share Posted April 26 Alexander Arnold is going to be both a problem and a joy for the next Liverpool manager - he's got an amazing range of passing, great vision and he's excellent on the ball, he's never a right back in a million years as he doesn't defend well enough and lacks the discipline for it, but he's a hell of a footballer - whether someone wants to build a team around allowing him to play as a sort of quarterback in front of the back four like a scouse Pirlo while others do his work is another thing though.

I heard on a podcast this week that he’d never played full back until he got in the first team. Played as a wide midfielder all through the academy which explains a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
