Arne Slot | Liverpool manager (Posture Watch)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
It’s my theory as well. The man was tired, probably thought I’m getting too old for this shit
Regardless of the quality of your squad, it’s always a risky business going into a new season with no fresh faces. Particularly to a back a new manager who will want to instil his own philosophy as soon as possible - in Slot’s case, one that’s drastically different to Klopp’s and one that will require different type of personnel. A ball-playing #6 like Zubimendi for example over a ball-winner like Endo.
Their squad is fairly strong though. They’re stacked with quality forwards, even if some have some consistency/injury concerns. Jota’s a quality forward and very clinical so keeping him fit is vital. They’re banking on Salah maintaining his level of form (I think there was a notable drop-off last season).
They’ve got numbers in midfield and some real quality with MacAllister and Sbozoslai though they definitely need additions. That DM is crucial as it could be suicidal going into the season without doing anything about it.
Defensively, they’ve got some brilliant players but Allison and van Dijk are getting on a bit. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see a drop-off. Alexander-Arnold is still suspect defensively and Robertson doesn’t quite seem the same player. That back line they once had is no longer looking so imperious. Centre back is a must IMO.
They did well last year (for the most part) in riding the Klopp wave but I don’t expect them to come close to City or Arsenal. I’m not sure other clubs will come close to them though. Could just be out on their own in a very lonely third place finish.

No, I think both and Salah will leave next summer. Alisson too.
I mean going into the summer, we didn't need a huge amount. a defender and a no. 6 but nothing more. I wonder if we're planning ahead for a very busy summer next year. I don't think we'll panic buy late in the window.
The Marmadishvilli transfer is a good piece of business. They have a ready made Alisson replacement in a couple of years
Top 3 would be a really good job done.
He's had no support for success from Hughes so far.

This is the only logical reason which can explain why you're not upgrading your squad this year. Then again, won't it make sense to spread the purchases out into two windows, starting from current? Are you constrained by wages or FFP or something?
Have Liverpool signed anyone yet ?
You can google the answer.
Looks like this might be the year united finish ahead with all the dosh ETH has spent. I can’t imagine Slot finishing above united with no transfers in, it would be a miracle and a disaster of epic proportions for united.
United finishing above Liverpool is nothing new or surprising. Every ManUtd manager who completed at least one season finished above Liverpool.
When you fumble your first bad bitch
Kloop is (was) a truly dedicated, hard-working manager… imagine him watching week in week out his gigantic effort ending in smoke because his two main forwards, namely Nunez & Diaz, cannot convert at an acceptable rate.
Why is he sucking in his tummy?
Tell you what if TAA, VVD and Alisson walk for free at the same time, that’s a devastating blow to a squad with no investment
We haven't spent that much, just in comparison to your whopping 0.
I know you’re the biggest scouse wum on here but United finished above you lot just a season go. Good work though
I want to have discussions though that’s why I’m on a forum. You could say that to anyone who asks any question about anything.
I do find your lack of activity baffling though, especially with new, first time to PL manager in place. He might surprise you.
Joe Hart would appreciate the neck on this cnut.
That’s a bottom if I’ve ever seen one
Unfortunately I think he'll do well at Liverpool. I can see them hit the ground running.
Agreed. Endo is not a long term replacement for what we had with Fabinho. The problem is getting some so late in the window that the impact of whatever player we get might come too late considering the strength on City, Arsenal, and the acquisitions united made. The board couldn’t seal the deal for our main target and should have had contingencies in place. They have let Slot down in my opinion.
Baron Harkonnen looking well.
What do you mean?
Do you think United have a better squad than Liverpool? I think most Liverpool fans would find that opinion quite controversial.
Homophobia.
Bottoms are the men who take it from the back - “it” being the penis
Don't worry. You'll put in a joint bid for Fellaini and Baines on deadline day
Because he feels pretty oh so pretty, pretty and witty and bright.
It’s a strange photo for a football manager
Dutch Rodgers 
Is that above his desk in his office
Who are they rumoured to be after in the last 2 weeks?
Have to feel you'll pull something out the hat and avoid something similar to the United 2013 post-Ferguson summer where all we did was sign Fellaini on deadline day
Something very odd seems to happen to any manager that joins Liverpool. Why do they all turn into complete cringe monsters? I can’t think of another club like it.Dutch Rodgers
Very good manager, think Liverpool will do quite well.
He has the posture of a thumb
