Never played the game. Not my usual jam. Loved it.

Walton Goggins is just perfect.

Interesting that - I think if you loved the show you'd probably have loved the games. Might be worth revisiting.

I think a lot of you are going to look very silly in 12 month's time. He's in poor form, no doubt - madness to write him off at this point though.

Exactly. Don’t remember a single manager who’s made the jump from the Dutch league to a major league who’s been successful. Look at Bosz who’s went back to psv. He’s tearing that league apart just now but was deemed not good enough for Dortmund, Leverkusen or even Lyon. They’ve scored 16 goals in the last 3 league games which once again shows the quality of that league.

The logical step for Slot would have been to go to a stronger league and prove himself but the fact he’s landed the Liverpool job after one league title with Feyenoord is absolute madness. Hope the laptop geeks have got this one right but he’s such a massive risk that if this appointment doesn’t go to plan, this could severely set us back years.

The track record isn't good (Guus Hiddink is the only one I can think off who comes away with any credit). So yes it's a gamble. But having listened to both the man himself and those in Holland speak about him there is a belief he will be different. He's charismatic and very well liked, and that for me already sets him apart from pretty much every other Dutch coach I can think off who managed in the PL. He also has an identifiable way of playing (in contrast to Ten Haag), according to those in Holland. He brings energy and intensity, what Dutch coach did that?

Time will tell of course, but after my initial dread knowing nothing about him I can see why Edwards chose him.

If confirmed, as looks likely, good luck to him. No point running a process and then not backing the outcome. Could be an inspired choice. Can’t wait to see what we do under him.

In the meantime, hopefully the players can show something to finish the season better, for themselves, the fans, and most of all, for Jurgen Klopp.

I think we overachieved last season like you overachieved this, but I understand its no comfort when you see your team throw points away against inferior teams. The best measure is pre season expectations though and we exceeded them then and you exceeded them now.

We haven't overachieved or underachieved. We are right were we should be. Competing for the title deep into the season as one of the best teams in the league.

One of the things that piqued my interest around Amorim was the idea of a very different formation and something of a departure from such a physically demanding style of football. Slot sounds like he will be more in the Klopp mold, which I think adds a degree of difficulty to the job he will do for us.

Will he slot right in? Or will we have an adjustment period where we’ll have to mitigate our expectations, as many here like to preach.

Arne Slot would defintley fail a fitness test and medical.   ;D

You may be right mate. But Slot is making mistakes and poor judgement in talking like this. His character will now be benchmarked against Jurgen’s, which is a very very high bar.

I was actually a fan of appointing Slot. Everything was looking great. But this has put me right off. If I was a Feyenoord supporter I’d be very disappointed in him. Never treat your current club like a stepping stone. Sacred rule. He’s burnt bridges with them now. He better hope this doesn’t go all Nabil Fekir.

Comparing anyone with Klopp is holding them to a ridiculous standard.

Kenny "I refer to myself in the third person" Dalglish, "who do you think you are, I'm Kenny Dalglish", and one of the worst at getting an autograph from, he did alright for us didn't he?


Jurgen is a complete one off, an even better man than he is a manager, which is saying something. He got shafted by the owners on more than one occasion in terms of needing players (that January '21 window was beyond disgraceful) yet to his own detriment, as ultimately that inactivity cost him results, he barely said a word (did eventually say we have no money when asked for the umpteenth time about bringing in central defenders). The complete opposite would have been the case with Rafa..."I wanted a table you got me a lamp" or whatever it was, a man who played the political game at every club.

It's silly comparing yourself to the incomparable, we'd all look shite.
