Only a fool would try and compare the two.

Well that’s JokeShop to a tee

[Steveo]

It’s always a dumb move to praise the design when luck was the main ingredient,

To be fair to Arne he references luck a few times - because as any manager knows it plays a massive part in this. Sometimes you lose your core players for long spells and some seasons - and they are very rare - you go the entire 38 games and barely suffer any.

[JockStrap]

He inherited a team with that win rate 😂 how’s he done with the team he’s stupidly tried to create in his own image?

Win rate is only one data point. Ignore it if you want. Here's another data point. Slot won the league last season.

[Steveo]

2 points... Same team - no injuries - second season for entire midfield.. no Afcon - and Salah hit record numbers

keep em coming

[JockStrap]

We don't need a Gooner coming on here and trying to discredit the LFC manager. We have enough LFC glory hunters in the fan base to do that themselves.

[Steveo]

One thing is for sure - jokestrap is less of a pain in the Arsenal .. I'd say...more of a bum tickle.


Anyone up for some "glory hunting" weekend of Feb 14th - should be some ticket availability for the Brighton game.

Run a competition for the longest round trip. A free poster of the LFC manager to the winner.

Correct he’s absolutely full of 💩

Rattling off all the things you and I and a fair few others know identify him a a wum

Last season I posted several times about Slot losing some of the automation and cut and thrust through trying to g to overpass at times, now he accepted this and was fully aware of it and would regularly ask ‘automation stations?’ when Slot had corrected it again

That was in a 433 the bulk of the players had played a number of seasons

Now he’s pretending he doesn’t understand that changing the system entirely from 433 to 4231 and overpassing even more isn’t going to effect that at all

Salah’s been poor because he’s playing deeper, Gakpo too, although he’s only ever second tier anyway because in a 4231 those players are wingers attacking/midfielders who play deeper, with the 9 furthest forward, well our lads are forwards who are used to making runs in behind ahead of the 9

[Red October]

If you look at the signings that almost won us the league under Rodgers. they were Kenny's or already at the club. IE Suarez Henderson Sterling, Rodgers signings over all were crap , he could never get the team to defend we conceded 55 goals or something that season and if you look at back 4/5 you can understand why.

Probably a fair point for the most part but there were some high quality exceptions:

Sturridge
Coutinho
Lallana
Milner
Firmino

At a stretch:
Lovren
Emre Can

[Steveo]

Emre Can was very good - should have stayed.. Didn't see the Klopp revolution did he.

Lallana, Milner and Firmino amount to little but for Jurgen.. Slot wouldn't get much from any of them. Klopp the master at making a very decent player like Bobby - 'the best in the world'. Coutinho - all the talent in the world but ONLY Klopp got him to world class before he went to nowt. Lovren - when paired with a Prime Virgil - yes very good but a calamity before that. Sturridge superb but a cheap buy because he was beyond a sick note. Wonderful striker with technique to die for.. when fit.

[Red October]

Sturridge was worth it just for that one season alone. Can't remember what we paid for him but he was sublime....then went back to broken again.

[Steveo]

One of the best natural finishers you will ever see.

Every goal for Liverpool

[Kev0909]

Wouldn't mind SaS right now and sterling

I'm sad now

but it's ok cus we have gakpo and chiesa

[Steveo]

Need Salah back ASAP
