    Lessons from the legends for Slot

    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.”
    "If Everton were playing at the bottom of my garden, i'd close the curtains”

    And my own

    Implied external pressure should never worry you, the greatest pressure to play well and succeed and to work to continuously develop and improve should come from you and you should push all your team mates to find the same and each push each other harder

    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.”

    I have to say this is important, and yet sadly it appears Real Madrid might have to sell us back some of our players who've not worked out, to finance the purchase/wages of more LFC players.

    Trent, Konate, MacA & Sobozla all potentially going to Real now.

    Captain, vice-captain & goalscoring legend, all running down their contracts last year, saying no offers from the club, and as per Fowler, Mo & VVD contract extensions were agreed and kept hush to protect Trent, willfully throwing LFC under the bus to protect a local lad who wants to fuck off to real.

    Can we afford to drop any of these madristas playing in a Red shirt ?
    I would, but then I'd probably be sacked for doing so...

    Needs to renew all their contracts

    Jurgen left us with absolute quality in Konate Macca Grav & Szobo it would be absolutely criminal to lose any of them

    I’d take Trent on a season long loan if they’ve gone off him too

    So lads leaving for madrid, and talking about playing for Madrid whilst under contract at LFC meets the criteria of....
