One of the main problems with Slot was his squad management and reluctance to trust the youth in big moments.
Klopp was very much the opposite. And it seems like Ireola will be more akin to this approach.
Iraola in his first interview saying he's excited about senior players being at the World Cup because it means he gets a chance to work with the young players at the start of pre-season. I love him already.
If EVERY VAR call was changed to the correct decision, Arsenal still would have won the Premier League ahead of Manchester City, with 81 points. [@TheAthleticFC] 🏆 ✅
Another heavy defeat for @JordanLavin9’s relentless campaign to try and label Liverpools title victory in 24/25 as the PGMOL title… when in fact the actual PGMOL title came a year later
From @TheAthleticFC: If referee calls had been correct, the Premier League title race would have entered the final match round with Manchester City two points clear of Arsenal, according to our analysis of key match decisions. https://t.co/FSWGZMMBRL
🚨 Liverpool confirm Ibrahima Konate will leave upon the expiry of his contract this summer, as exclusively reported.
Konate made a total of 183 appearances and scored seven goals in five years at Anfield.
Contract talks stalled due to a gulf over terms with Liverpool now intent on utilising the budget on squad reinforcements. There is faith in both Giovanni Leoni and Jeremy Jacquet.
🗣️ "Konate will depart with our gratitude and appreciation for the contribution he made and everyone at the club wishes him the best for the future."

Came in, won a Premier League and secured Champions League for the next manager.
Feels like the right time to leave. He’ll get another good job at a big club.
Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way.
He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.
🚨💣 Andoni Iraola, set to become the next Liverpool manager as revealed earlier today!
The negotiations will move forward quickly to get it done with formal steps but #LFC decision made…
…Iraola will be the next manager. 🛑🔜
@ade_oladipo1 Man United went and signed a pure shin kicker in Ugarte. There aren’t many pure destroyers about that are also capable of playing in a top team on the ball.
But there are more ‘combative’ options on the market than the current options they currently have.
Reluctantly swerved right back to give Jones and Jaquet minutes there (needs most).
Attack unrealisitc... but does need heavy investment. Barcola the versatile option.
Fernandes is an all rounder that brings bite back to midfield and is more of a passer than current options too.
