Florian Wirtz

I could see it happening if the chance was there but like Steveo says it very often doesn't work second time around but he's a different breed to any other manager.
I wonder how he feels about the amount of money they've backed Slot with in comparison to him.
It was strange to see what he said about returning, I wonder if he's bored? Had 18 months recuperating and now itching to get involved maybe.

Agree,only saw bits of interview but he hinted it was impossible to ask for a year out,also that liverpool only club he would manage in premiership,happy where he us but did say wouldnt rule out returning to liverpool.
On the down side returning to a club rarely works and never thought fsg and klopp where on same page,cant see it happening and not sure i want to risk the memories,brian clough returning to forest was a big mistake.

Should we move Slot on, I really hope we don't back to Klopp. It very rarely works out going back, and I really wouldn't want to tarnish his legacy.

We're going to find out whether Slot is the manager we all hope he is.

Depsite the results and what many believe we have a squad of very good players. It's up to Arne to get a tune out them.

[Steveo]

Again totally agree. Slot hasn’t gone from a top class manager to total shyte over night.

He’s not Cafe Hag Two is he?

And while I credit Klopp far more (sorry if that offends some) for last season - Slot managed what he had at his disposal to near perfection. Got fortunate with injuries but brought home number 20…

I can’t help but think that none of it happens unless Klopp leaves behind such fine work and sings “Arne Slot” at his farewell….but that’s just me.

Agree. He has to show he can turn it around and hopefully he does.
It's easy for people to say he got lucky etc but it's worth remembering he'd win a league title in a league that's mostly dominated by PsV and Ajax. It's a noteable achievement to do it in two different leagues.
No doubting he has a huge challenge on now though.

Much better from Florian, with the caveat that it wasn’t a Premier League game

[Steveo]

True - but I would add it was against a very powerful Real Madrid side - if you can play well v that - you’ll do well anywhere I think.

He lacks pace - but has quality. If he clicks it could be magic

Great game tonight from Wirtz linked well pressed well fought hard

[jozza800]

The ball he played to Dom was superb. I thought he was going to bend it round the defender (goal side) but he he waited a few seconds for the defender to pass him and played it behind him. Very clever.

I still think he can work as a 10, but I wouldn't be moving him there any time soon.

I also think Gakpo will be back in at the weekend.
