Liverpool want to be an aggressive, front-foot team led by someone who is all in, whose identity is intensity, who will immerse himself in the club through to the academy, and whose hard-working character will endear him to the city. That’s Andoni Iraola.
Yes, there are risks. There usually always are bar very rare circumstances. Jürgen Klopp thought he was a risk because he had never worked outside of Germany.
Looking at win percentages as a mark of appointing a new head coach/manager is nonsense. Klopp would have never been approached by Bayern Munich or joined Borussia Dortmund in that case.
Luis Enrique would have never gone from Celta to Barcelona.
It’s about what they’ve achieved relative to means, scaling that, plus their stylistic fit to the club and its ambitions.
@TheAnfieldLaker He is a pace merchant, which is what we miss. But seems to lack composure & game intelligence. We're definitely interested though.
The first time in Liverpool's modern history that a title winning manager has been sacked. It's not a special club anymore. Thank you Liverpool fans for turning us into every other club. You got what you wanted. Don't claim that our club is different or unique anymore.
Genuinely surprised that Slot has gone. I'm disappointed it has ended like this. Doesn't change the fact that a lot of 'fans' have behaved like absolute bellends.
I captured this moment as Van Dijk sat alone on the Anfield pitch … just watching Mo Salah say goodbye to the fans.
No words. No cameras in his face. Just a captain silently watching his brother leave. ❤️
Two legends who gave Liverpool everything. This one hurts. 🥺
