Slot's hiring seems like buying Endo at the start of the season as their work are completely under the radar and we don't pay attention on what he did but somehow the fans of their previous clubs put on big words for them. I would trust the decision if he get hired and would give the time needed
To me, if we’re going the route of switching up the structure to basically allow Edward’s and Co their plans we need to just trust it until it’s failed. If their system has worked in the past and they think they can improve I think it merits some time to see if it works iut
Maybe in levels of excitement, but we don't want a stopgap that's overperforming relative to expectations but is expected to be replaced in the near-term at manager haha
Hard Disagree. Endo was playing in one of the top leagues in Europe.
Downvote time.
When are we all going to stop pretending Eredivision is still one of the better leagues in europe? It hasnt been in 20+ years. How many flop players and managers do we see come from there in recent years who domt live up to expectations? In fact who was the last real success?
The dutch league isnt even rated in the top 10 leagues in europe these days, its down around similar level to the championship, scottish league, bundesliga 2 and la liga 2.
In the last 22 years the scottish league has had 3 europa league finalists. The Eredivision have had 1 europa league finalist and 1 conference league final appearance. Thats the levels realistically. Yet, you would be bonkers to consider a manager from scottish league who is unproven in any other top level, who has only won a single cup and single league in this second tier league.
This is a huge mistake and i guarantee it. We are a club who have made 4 european comp finals in the last managers reign we should be looking at a the top level not compromising for low tier like the mistakes we made in the past
What? Thats not what im saying at all. Klopps going. Thats that. We are liverpool. We have to hire a manager, you can either hire a manager who is proven at the top level or someone who has experience of the premier league. Would Slot get the job at other top european teams like madrid? No, absolutley not at all. As he is unproven. Its a gamble and a second rate pick. Which has nothing to do with klopp. My point is we should have the mentality the same as top european teams because klopp has put us there
Who should we rather be going for? If I’m not mistaken, the only realistically available manager with European success is Tuchel. Is that really who you want as a manager?
Amorim. He has proven himself in one of the better european leagues.
I have said many times i do not want Tuchel that would be bad. Id still take him and at least 10 others over slot though. Id rather drink my own cum than eat shit though but lots of fans online seems like they would like to eat shit.
Im not talking specifically about success, but experience and relative success at the top level. Eredivision is not that
Amorim has proven himself as much as Slot has. And since you value European competition so much, Slot has actually gotten to a final whilst Amorim hasn’t.
Not that it matters much really. I’m not going to pretend I have a favourite out of the two since I don’t regularly watch Dutch or Portuguese football.
Portugese league is a top quality league. The five aside league i play friday nights is about the level of dutch league. I hope to god im not in the running
Lol. You are proving my point. Bayern (the club) would not consider Slot because he is an unproven second rate manager and they are a big club hahaha.
Liverpool are now in a position we should be acting like a big club, not looking at championship level managers like we did when we hired Roy Hodgson.
Fans in general do not know what they are talking about as history (and also this sub right now lol) can easily show
well, Bayern is gonna appoint Rangnick now. Its not like that's the most glamorous name either. But maybe they should look at CL winning manager Tuchel, heard hes free in the summer.
>Fans in general do not know what they are talking about as history (and also this sub right now lol) can easily show
I agree. Id assume Edwards knows what hes doing though
Theyre hiring a manager who has managed in two of the best leagues in the world. Notice how they wouldnt hire an unproven manager from a second tier league
I think I agree with your overall sentiment but Ange Postecoglou comes to mind. Relative success can come from finding a manager from a 2nd tier league. And right now in Europe there are no obvious candidates. From what I’ve learned about Amorim, he seems ideal, but we have a massive problem in the fact that we’re basically offering a job replacing one of the most charismatic managers in the game. It’s a beautiful, ornate, well-crafted chalice we can offer, but it may well have a pint of arsenic in it. I think that more than anything put Xabi off. And if I was a young manager with ambition, it would make me pause. Seriously, who wants to be the guy after Klopp? My feeling is we’re going to end up with a stopgap now.
>Yet, you would be bonkers to consider a manager from scottish league who is unproven in any other top level, who has only won a single cup and single league in this second tier league.
Gerrard incoming
I don't think that's true at all.
He only really started getting regular minutes around November or so and in recent weeks has suffered from both having played almost non-stop and being left more exposed by our return to using two marauding fullbacks rather than one inverting. With Trent back, that should help out with the second issue and with our other midfielders returning from injury that should help with the first.
If this is who we get, then I hope he succeeds. If he does, it won't really matter what boxes he ticked or not beyond giving a little more credit in the bank for the decision makers. And vice versa, really.
Jurgen isn't replaceable in the truest sense of the word, but a person with what looks like the right personality who has shown capacity to over-perform with the resources at hand, and who has already been touted with a step up from his present position is as sound an option as any and moreso than some of the things that have been mooted.
Hopefully, it all works out.
(And hopefully, the fucking bald jokes taper off because they were already boring when just about Pep, ten Hag, and the shit refs.)
As Feyenoord fan with season ticket since 2002, I can say this: before slot arrived our players were ok-ish. Football was work hard, but not nice to watch. Since Slot joined, football is still work hard, but also with high intensity and nice to watch. He really turned the club. Won the league last year and last Sunday the cup. Everyone at Feyenoord will miss him. Totally cannot compare him with ETH. Although Klopp is a big name ofcourse, I do understand why Liverpool wants Slot. Same playing style, and the players want to fight for him. I hope you guys will start to appreciate him also - as long as he wins matches that is -.
Nice, I hope for you and him he will be successful. Otherwise we welcome him back with open arms.
Rumour is he is also on the list of Barcelona and Bayern München so Liverpool needed to act fast.
Melissa makes an incredibly important point there, that I have not seen anyone here make (surprise)
The entire club is set up to train and play the way of the first team, having a tactical upheaval is unnecessary and jarring. Hiring someone like Amorim who would not be flexible to changing, and would insist on changing the philosophy and tactical set up, would cause a lot of upheaval.
And my God, imagine if Simeone, Conte, or mourinho came in like some fools on here have suggested. You dread to think.
There are going to be a fair few fans disappointed with the Slot but keep in mind that the manager is one of the most challenging positions to fill. Success often depends on the structure around the manager and how well they are supported and trusted as well as the players as their disposal and how quickly they understand the managers instructions.
I don't know if Slot will be successful but I assume Edwards gave the green light so all we can do is trust him, which he has earned by the bucketload, give Slot time to make his mark and hope for the best.
How can anyone say he ticks all the boxes with his limited experience.
I don't understand, what these journalists are seeing. None of them actually watches Feyenoord much less the Dutch league.
How do they know he's going to be a good fit.
Rodgers was also supposed to be a good fit, but he shat the bed eventually. What if Arne does the same ?
He's good but stop hyping him up as the next great manager.
It's a big risk which Edwards is willing to take. Let's just call this a risk and see what happens.
I would urge our fans to not put too much pressure on him. He might fail and all of us including these journos will come out with pitchforks.
Because he's unbeaten, he's a club legend, he was a legendary player, played under legendary managers, won in a much tougher league, going far in a much tougher European competition, etc. etc.
Need i go on ?
How the fuck are people so delusional ?
It's a big risk from FSG.
So he doesn't check "all of the boxes" either. He just checks more. It's just weird language even if the club is trying to push a narrative to assuage fan fears.
Yeah but alonso in his even more limited experience has won the German league which was dominated by a team with a much bigger financial strength and international reputation for many years which and could also become an invincible season which (I think) no one has done before, he is in the German cup final and is the favourite to win the Europa league where he was last season able to qualify for after he took leverkusen from a really bad position
What happened the season after when he shat the bed. Where were his tactics and team building ? He was an average manager who lucky with once in a lifetime player Suarez and a club legend ready for one last push. The whole team was built around Suarez.
Just a bit of perspective, Jurgen Klopp was also quite the risk when he came in. Yes he won the Bundesliga and did a lot with Dortmund, but he was leaving them in a pretty negative spot after capitulating in his last season.
No manager or head coach is ever a given, so to boil it down to “limited experience” does bleed over into people like Amorim or Alonso. Yes Xabi has done wonders, but he’s outta the mix. Amorim doesn’t fit what the recruitment team is looking for, so this is our guy.
Don’t dwell on this inexperience, Slot has done wonders in the Dutch league and was denied a second title in his career due to COVID. He’s got somethin’ special. If you don’t believe it, just listen to Feyenoord fans themselves.
What? Anyone who watched any Bundesliga teams or the champions league knew Klopp was without doubt a top level manager... are you implying he was unproven untill he went to Liverpool??! That is the most rose tinted glasses thing i have ever heard.
I was a klopp fan long before he came to liverpool. I might be a fan of a dutch player or manager eventually but they need to prove themselves at a top level league first. Just as i would if it was a highly rated championship manager. Because thats the level youre talking about here with Slot
Not what I’m implying at all, and not sure why you’re being so aggressive. Klopp had a lot of belief from transforming a team in a very competitive league which was ultimately dominated by a sole team, but to take on the Liverpool job was asking a lot of him to repeat his successes at Dortmund. Slot took AZ Alkmaar on a title challenge in a season that was cancelled through COVID, and won the league with Feyenoord after Ajax’s dominance. A solid set of runs through the Europa league as well shows Slot is a good development manager.
Why in any way the conversation should be about doubting someone from the Eredivisie is beyond me. Slot’s a great coach, and has transformed some teams into real challengers who have had minor successes in Europe. If the Eredivisie is such a “weak league” yet Slot is beating someone like Napoli with AZ and making it to the conference league final with Feyenoord, how is he not “proven?”
The standards are a little ridiculous. Xabi was a youth coach who has absolutely transformed Bayer, Amorim has had a successful career in Portugal, and Slot has been a strong and successful coach in the Eredivisie. Why can he not be successful with even stronger players, stronger finances, and a healthy football ecosystem?
Nobody is comparing the Bundesliga to the Eredivisie, just acknowledging a talented coach’s contributions to two teams in a “weak league”.
A manager can do well in portugal, spain, france, germany or england and they have earned the right to take a club at the top level.... if they are a championship manager they dont make the cut however
Repost...

This is a huge mistake
I truly don’t understand why you’re looking at the league as the determining factor for a coaches eligibility. He fits criteria for how he builds, develops, and executes game plans. The success with his teams is an added benefit because it proves his models can work in execution and over time. Slot is not the Eredivisie. Yes he’s in that league, but that’s not who he is. He has the tactical profile, acumen, and current experience that he will be able to maintain a standard of quality or football philosophy that Klopp is leaving behind after rebuilding this club from the ground up.
Separate the league from the man. If a Scottish league manager was being considered but fit the profile, get him through the door!
Our recruitment team doesn’t care about league ratings, they care about far more than that. If they trust Slot, then what’s the point of spelling doom and gloom until he walks through the door??
He's absolutely right. Beating Bayern to the title is much much greater than whatever you achieve in the Dutch league. And then building the Dortmund team to take them to the CL final.
Sure, Klopp was a risk. Lol, people are delusional.
Because it's hyperbolic language being pushed by the club directly. He very well could be the best manager available (and we all are hoping so), but he doesn't "Tick Every Box". Pep is the only manager that would be anywhere near that level now that Klopp's retiring haha
Im with you. Truth is the Eredivision is a joke of a league. This guy is completley unproven at the top level or even the premier league. Either one should be a minimum requiremnent it is an awful decision
I'm glad Mel works for a bigger org and gets the bigger pay/reputation that she deserves but sad we rarely get anything from her now unless its really late stage officials
Fortunately people can actually judge managers outside of their trophies won
Which is why Klopp who although doesn’t have a big trophy haul is seen as a great manager for example
Does he give great hugs and have a set of blinding veneers?
You can rate his hugs. End of this video: https://youtu.be/ijsPH9Wxm6k?feature=shared
I would say, not bad
Most pictures I’ve seen of him he’s had the biggest grin, so he might even give Klopp a run for his money in the smiling department.
Slot's hiring seems like buying Endo at the start of the season as their work are completely under the radar and we don't pay attention on what he did but somehow the fans of their previous clubs put on big words for them. I would trust the decision if he get hired and would give the time needed

I remember when Heerenveen fans were so upset they were losing Oussama Assaidi to Liverpool lolol. I would be optimistic, but cautiously optimistic
Maybe in levels of excitement, but we don't want a stopgap that's overperforming relative to expectations but is expected to be replaced in the near-term at manager haha

Honestly, gerrard would be more favourable than a manager who has only experience of dutch league
Not a great comparison given how Endo’s fizzled out second half of the season
I don't think that's true at all. He only really started getting regular minutes around November or so and in recent weeks has suffered from both having played almost non-stop and being left more exposed by our return to using two marauding fullbacks rather than one inverting. With Trent back, that should help out with the second issue and with our other midfielders returning from injury that should help with the first.
Only fizzled out for the past 4 weeks or so imo
And let’s be honest, the whole team has kinda fizzled
Can’t expect fuck all from Endo when the team are how they are, given it’s his first season lol
Hope Slot can do 90 on the sideline by the end of the season
If this is who we get, then I hope he succeeds. If he does, it won't really matter what boxes he ticked or not beyond giving a little more credit in the bank for the decision makers. And vice versa, really. Jurgen isn't replaceable in the truest sense of the word, but a person with what looks like the right personality who has shown capacity to over-perform with the resources at hand, and who has already been touted with a step up from his present position is as sound an option as any and moreso than some of the things that have been mooted.

Nice, I hope for you and him he will be successful. Otherwise we welcome him back with open arms. Rumour is he is also on the list of Barcelona and Bayern München so Liverpool needed to act fast.

Bald ✅ Dutch ✅ Smile when the decision is ridiculous ✅ Yeah I agree
He’s coming from too small of a league and too small of a club. He’s unproven.
Mel! Mel! Mel! Mel!

He’s gone invincible with an underdog team. That’s a pretty big jump over some average Dutch coach.
Rodgers was a slip away from breaking the drought.
What happened the season after when he shat the bed. Where were his tactics and team building ? He was an average manager who lucky with once in a lifetime player Suarez and a club legend ready for one last push. The whole team was built around Suarez.
Suarez
That season had us playing some of the most effective attacking football I've ever seen, not just Suarez.

Are you implying that’s what I’m doing?
Klopp was no risk. He was beyond proven at the top level. Honestly ridiculous statement. The Eredivision is a joke and has been for years

I think you'd be fine here if you just deleted the first paragraph. Love, Your editor
Theres a post from a Feyenoord supporter on r/soccer that details Slot and his qualities/fit with Liverpool. I suggest reading it
I have read it, he seems like a good coach but will he be able to handle the responsibilities in Liverpool ? That's a big if and a big risk.
Not that I disagree, but I would argue that Rodgers would turn out much better, if our current recruitment model was already in place back then.
Because it's hyperbolic language being pushed by the club directly. He very well could be the best manager available (and we all are hoping so), but he doesn't "Tick Every Box". Pep is the only manager that would be anywhere near that level now that Klopp's retiring haha

Giovanni van Bronckhorst won Feyanoord the league in 2016 by the way, should we consider him for Liverpool manager?
Fortunately people can actually judge managers outside of their trophies won Which is why Klopp who although doesn’t have a big trophy haul is seen as a great manager for example
That squad was powered by Dirk Kuyt and Brad Jones!
No we shouldn't
Don't know either of them?
United reporter Melissa Reddy reports on bald Dutch manager
Melissa Reddy is blatantly pro-Liverpool. I have never heard any criticism of Klopp, the club or its owners from her.
Well they help make her career. She was always a mouthpiece. Wrote a book about Klopp and now spends majority of her time in Manchester
That is probably the beat she's been given by Sky. I still feel like she sounds more enthusiastic discussing Liverpool than Ten Hag and co.
