Say whatever you want but Slot’s usage of Rio is exactly the right thing to do.
You simply cant throw a 17 year old up against grown men in a high intensity league every week.
We have to manage his minutes carefully. Way too many examples that playing so much so early is bad
It's absolutely baffling to see the backlash against this announcement.
Imagine complaining that the UK is securing a multi-billion-pound private investment.
Let's look at the actual numbers: taxpayers are funding £1.3bn for local roads & a new rail station. In return, Universal is spending £5 billion to build the park and another £1 billion operating it.
Bedford(& the UK) gets 28,000 total jobs, a massive revitalization of a former industrial site, & a projected £50 billion economic boost.
The sheer cynicism around projects like this is exactly what holds the UK back. If we treat massive, job-creating investments as something to be outraged about, we only guarantee our own economic stagnation.
Genuinely a bit sad reading this. This time last year I felt as if he would be here and successful for years to come
Feels the right move for both sides but a shame he never got a proper goodbye. I think he deserved that after everything that’s happened, both the highs and lows.
Will always be the man who brought us number 20. Will always love him for that
All the best Arne ❤️
Won us the league. Handled the Jota tragedy with immaculate humanity and connection. Just because the footy was a bit rough people were saying absolutely abhorrent things about him. Will be a legend forever and rightfully should stay on the banner on the kop
Hard to argue this isn’t the correct decision in the grand scheme of things but it’s sad nevertheless and now everyone can join me in complaining about our pathetic squad size and profile.
🚨🚨 EXCLUSIVE: ARNE SLOT AND LIVERPOOL TO PART WAYS WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT. 💣
It’s over between the Dutch manager and Liverpool after end of the season review. 👋🏼
Andoni Iraola, clear favorite to take over as next #LFC head coach.
I wanted Slot out for months now but now that he's staying this is why I'm going to back him. Some of the stuff I've read online last few weeks has been disgusting - mainly from fans who don't go the game. Here's my essay if anyone's arsed to read it (done talking about it after this)
1) "He won the league with Klopp's team" - no he didn't retain Klopp's tactics, he changed them massively. We went from pressing high to a mid block with controlled possession. It wasn't the most exciting last year, it won't be "heavy metal football" next year either. Managers do not turn rubbish over a summer.
2) "He's boring" - definitely more boring than Jurgen, but just to be clear, if you win the league no one cares about being "entertained", the entertainment is success. It wasn't an issue last year, it wasn't an issue with Arteta now he's won the league. There's a reason even peak Guardiola played a controlled style of footy rather than "heavy metal"
3) "Injuries aren't an excuse" - of course they are. Guardiola, one of the greatest managers of our generation could not win a trophy and struggled massively last year when he had serious injuries. Our league win last year was a big part down to NOT having injuries, and Arsenal couldn't keep up cause they constantly did.
Found it genuinely sad at Anfield yesterday that Slot didn’t feel comfortable joining the lap of honour with the players because of the fear that our own fans would jeer or boo him. Imagine creating that kind of atmosphere around your own manager after everything this squad has dealt with this season. What have we become?
With every interview, be it Robbo coming out and saying the tragedy of Jota had a major impact on pre-season, which in turn had a major impact on the season as a whole, or even the Jota chant against Bournemouth impacting their performance.
Or Arsenal players admitting that Arteta toned down training to help them win the league;
Or even here, when Pep had his team
On the piss up when they were confirmed champions;
It really makes you realise how much unnecessary hysteria has been whipped up by the fanbase online this season.
If Slot is going, announce it beforehand so he can get a decent send off and all the blerts in the ground don’t have to start flipping the minute there’s a backward pass when we’re on the attack. Big thanks for number 20 and good luck in the future the least he deserves 👍🏻
