All Aboard the Slot Express

That's really your explanation? They spent £400m because Klopp walked out? Maybe you should think that one through.

They spent £400m with the expectation of winning trophies. I'm sure Slot and everyone else is aware of that.

He's actually Unbelievable, imagine being so obsessed with someone you've never even met

As mentioned the by-product of winning trophies is great but it isn’t their goal. Never was. I am sure they expected much more change of trophies after the £230 million spend. And this season isn’t run yet… We could still do just that. Not that it’s fair - as you and myself have done - to claim Slot has been backed with over £400 million.

But the huge relative spend this summer is to future proof the club against a fall outside the top 4… A fall to Rodgers level in the post Klopp years. It is not intended to go and retain the title. No way. No way you bank the Diaz cash and expose the left flank - no way you ignore the need for a 6 and a senior CB….

IF you listen to the actual framing from the round table PR bollox. This is about sustainability as it always was. And that sustainability is all about the ability to fleece the most successful club in the land. Rinse its fan base of all the cash. Sponsor everything to the hilt and bank as much revenue from TV as is humanly possible. These are the goals. Klopp provides that for them and inadvertently put us at the top table. The instant he did - the funds dried up. Bills had to be paid.. There was never any intention to go again. To go and defend either title.

So pipe down shill

If Slot inherited a title winning team (your words) why would we need to spend £400m to avoid a fall to Rodgers level?

None of your ramblings make any sense whatsoever.

Because he's to obsessed and in love to think clearly.

It's all very weird. Someone else mentioned that he talks Klopp up so he can talk the club down. That's about all I've seen from him.

He can't be a LFC fan.

Yeah every single day, really is dull on here, between him and 19x posting the same stuff

Fuck this forum anyway it's shit, inabit.

P.S stevo your a mong, maybe support Slot you'll never be able to suck Klopps cock, or 19x's

Well you never know, you 2 should meet up, and you can walk him on ya lead, spank him baby.

They do... provided you are in possession of a brain. You'd also actually have to follow Liverpool FC beyond trying to dumb-down the forum.

The team Slot inherited was made up of Klopp's regulars and old guard.
Alisson
Virgil
Trent
Salah
Robbo
Gomez

His newer signings
Diaz
Gakpo
Nunez

Klopps' 2.0 - midfield exclusively
Macca
Grav
Szobozlai
Endo

and Klopp's young guns

Kelleher
Quansah
Clark
Morton
Doak

And here...

Total League Minutes Played,% of Total Minutes
Klopp Signings 37,512 - that's 99.7%
Slot Signings (Chiesa), 108. that's 0.3%

So - let's see how many of those players Klopp left behind - many of whom were instrumental in the title win were destined to remain beyond the summer...

For people like 19 saying press,press,press go back and press like previoulsy - well Slot figured out last season he couldn't press that same 14-16 players all season long like Jurgen had to, so he eased it a little over an 8 month stretch until the league was clinched v Spurs. They were still fucked as was evident in LC final possibly as a result of the CL league phase exertions.
With salah and vvd aging, all the new players and all the injuries I feel he's had his hand forced to try a new system as the squad isn't any bigger and wirtz had to get up to speed. So we can't press at all times in all games as things stand. Those changes have affected the makeshift defences too. Add in whatever possible issue there is between Slot and Hughes over Diaz,Rio,Chiesa and this is where we are. Until we add the likes of a wharton into the midfield whilst also retaining Jones and coaxing Bacjetic there may be no return to the full on pressing game. However I could see us selling salah,Jones, possibly even gomez and endo to balance against the new defenders fee which would leave the squad numbers back down again.

You actually end up doing more running and longer sprints by not picking up and pressing and counter pressing 😮*💨

Why can’t anyone get this?

Ok this season how many times did we lose possession not be in a counter pressing position and have 8 or 9 players sprinting all the way back towards our box

Which do you think is more tiring and puts more strain on thr bodg, picking up and doing short sprints to regain possession or join an attack or sprinting the length of the pitch

I really shouldn’t be having to explain this all the time it’s quite simple
