Lessons from the legends for Slot

[Nineteenx]

Slotball.

It’s Kloppball and you know it, I wanted Slot and was the only one as he played a compatible style he DID NOT play the shite he tried to have us play for half this season that he invented when celebrating in Ibiza

[Nineteenx]

Always said I’m with Slot as long as he keeps the style

I pitched him as the continuation and evolution candidate the evolution I expected was the work with our full backs doing better in the box that was never done with Trent and Robbo as both could have been getting 5-10 goals each a season

And having our mids score more and use the switches cross fields and diagonals more now we finally have 3 mids capable of playing them to the necessary standard

None of that needed another 10, he had a winning system in which the full backs hadn’t been a developed as thry could be and had only had Hendo in midfield who could play the switches and diagonals

Suddenly we had the lot, to break down all teams all he had to do was knit it together but he cooked up a pipe dream he’d never even played as a manager instead

If you must Steveo please go and litter one of his threads with this crap

You’re doing precisely what he wants you to, I thought you smarter than that

I know didn’t think it was that serious. But you’re right - knackered after the drive and straight back to work today.

Despite what you claim I’m not doing this on threads

I talk about the press and counter press a lot on threads it is relevant to, after games it is relevant to, funny you don’t complain when I compliment Wirtz in doing it well, how odd

A few quotes from Bill and Bob here that every successful Liverpool manager has followed, that Jurgen embraced and followed and Slot needs to learn

“My idea was to build Liverpool into a bastion of invincibility. Had Napoleon had that idea he would have conquered the bloody world. I wanted Liverpool to be untouchable. My idea was to build Liverpool up and up until eventually everyone would have to submit and give in.

“Aim for the sky and you'll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you'll stay on the floor.”


The players “For a player to be good enough to play for Liverpool, he must be prepared to run through a brick wall for me then come out fighting the other side.”

“A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and make sure you are.”

”“A football team is like a piano. You need eight men to carry it and three who can play the damn thing.”

FSG “At a football club, there’s a holy trinity – the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don’t come into it. They are only there to sign the cheques”

On the Derby “Sickness would not have kept me away from this one. If I’d been dead, I would have had them bring the casket to the ground, prop it up in the stands and cut a hole in the lid.”

"It's not about the long ball or the short ball, it's about the
right ball."1’

Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.

If it ain’t broken don’t fix it

Gakpo Mo Ekitike “If you’re in the penalty area and aren’t quite sure what to do with the ball, stick it in the net and we’ll discuss your options afterwards!

“No football club is ever successful without hard work. If everyone thinks along these lines and does the small jobs to the best of their ability, then the world will be better.”

”“If a player is not interfering with play or seeking to gain an advantage, then he should be.”

“One of the things I keep reminding players is that when you’re lost in a fog, you must stick together. Then you don’t get

FSG “We have a marvellous backroom team at Anfield who share the workload wonderfully well. No club has a more able and closely-knit staff than ours.

Youth development a d recruitment

“A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are. In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside, Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.

“It’s the greatest thing in the world, natural enthusiasm. You’re nothing without it.”

19x not serious?

I agree with 19x, thought you was smarter than that Stevo

Have a lie down

[JockStrap]

I asked you 19x on another thread to break down teams on their ability to chose the right ball. Not the long ball or the short ball. The right ball.

But you bottled it.

[Kev0909]

well done 19x

Making the forums lag again.

You’ll find that’s you and Michael Kev
