All Aboard the Slot Express

[JockStrap]

I loathe his pressers and his arrogance

He has caused this shit and it is shit it is dull as dish water passing going nowhere garbage and it will NEVER be a winning formula in the Prem

Well it did win the league. Just last season in fact. And he literally says in the press conference:

My philosophy on football hasn't changed

So one of you two is wrong.

[Nineteenx]

I obviously has changed only a fool
Would deny it

Unless, a lot of what they were doing last season was still the strong automation of everything Jurgen has them doing and Slot is taking it out of them minute by minute

[JockStrap]

Well I'm left with 2 choices. Believe Slot or believe you.

Can you guess which one I'm going with?

[JockStrap]

Arne Slot on whether Hugo Ekitike will be fit in time to face Arsenal on Thursday night:

It's always going to be a thin line and a difficult balance. If a player is not available [on Sunday], is he then available in four days?

[JockStrap]

For those that think Slot winning the league was all down to Jurgen, you're talking complete nonsense. Slot had the team performing better in every regard. That's why he won the league with that team and Jurgen didn't.

The team was better under Slot in every meaningful way:

Metric	Klopp 23/24	Slot 24/25	% Change
xGA (expected goals against)	1.2	0.9	-25%
Shots from fast breaks	38	56+	+47%
Big chances per 90	2.9	4.0	+38%
Conversion % (Salah, Diaz)	15.8 / 8.5	23.3 / 18.5	+47% / +117%
Goals from build-up attacks	0.16	0.28	+75%

This proves that Liverpool tactical formation analysis under Slot is not just theoretical—it’s delivering tangible results.

There is no more discussion to be had.

Oh yes and Jurgen didn't have a team of new players as Slot does this time did he? He hadn't just rebuilt the ENTIRE midfield? 4 new mids - years late but all in one hit..

So you want to compare players arriving in a new league and a new country with those same players after 1 entire season of Klopp's coaching..an in their second season...? How have they fared in their third? Bullshit pedeller.

You are literally talking outta your arse in a desperate attempt to prove that black is white. But it will never be.

Klopp rebuilt a side that was aged and smashed after missing a near quad by a whisker and the dreadful season of 2022/23 - where we missed out on CL football. A team with a smashed midfield including perennial sicknotes the club refused to move on..and due to a lack of backing...

He rebuilt it before he left and handed it to the next man. He still managed 82 points in that season despite announcing his departure and a massive injury pile up.

Now which bellend is posting links..


Twat.. Go join your pal kev who abuses people with derogatory names for those with Down's syndrome

The pair of you and that GIMP all a disgrace to the club..

[JockStrap]

I know it doesn't fit your miracle worker narrative but the numbers are the numbers. They don't lie.

Slot simply did an incredible job last season and he deserves all the plaudits for that.

Beyond that, if you want to discuss tactics then read the article. For all the wannabe fantasy football managers, that's how you do tactical analysis. Breakdowns backed up by facts. If you have alternative facts then I'm keen to hear them.

Nonsensical theories without any substance are not welcome in this thread. There are plenty of other threads for that.

Oh He's off again

Pot
Kettle
Black

That's it stevo let it all out

I don't even have to post it's brilliant, nonceyboy go lick some arse a bit more

[Steveo]

Well it's the truth and you can try to be as snide about Klopp all you like Kev. Go pat yourself on the back. Top fella Top Red

It's not anger I feel - but sadness that we have such types as s called Liverpool fans.

[JockStrap]

He's not being snide about Klopp. It's ok to point out that Slot did a better job with the team, which my stats categorically prove. That's not a dig a Klopp. He was fantastic. So is Slot. Two things can be true.
