Maybe. But Frimpong scares me every time he’s in a 1v1 duel with opponents. If he had 5kg more muscle, I’d be much more confident.
I maintain that the second goal by Salah was the best of Klopp’s era.

One of the questions over Iraola will be how can he and his style cope with regularly having to break down teams who just sit in front of you.
It´s alright playing forward quickly on the counter or in big open games, but I think that´s what really separates the best from the rest.
“He would have different ideas, some Liverpool players would like them, some wouldn’t.”
Anyone who has read the complete works of Haruki Murakami is bound to have some different ideas.
A cycling, intellectual, high-pressing, all-action coach? I think we’re in a for fun time.

Beyond the identity of the new head coach - Andoni Iraola is expected to be appointed and intensity is his identity, but his European experience is severely lacking and it is unknown how he’ll cope with increased pressure and a greater schedule - Liverpool need to spell out their long-term strategy and shed light on the futures of Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes. These are the men ultimately directing the club and making the big decisions, so clarity is paramount. On the face in the dugout, Luis Enrique is probably the only name that would arrive without question marks were he available, but he would expect proper control. Are Liverpool too attached to their desire for a head coach moving forward? I think it’s important if you want supporters to buy into and be immersed in a journey, for them to know what the plan is.

Its irresistible to conclude its going to be Iraola, the timing is almost determinative.
The emphasis on verticality is a positive. Horizontal players are usually less effective, apart from goalies occasionally. If our players can remain vertical, we may be on the road to success!

Perhaps we would have remained on top of that table without the disaster of the last season

I would imagine several have been looked at, and if it is Iraola, bring it on. (Enrique seems the best, but it seems too much of a stretch to prise him away from PSG while he’s still under contract).
We don’t know how Iraola would do with a much heavier schedule and higher expectations on him. But he has passed every test so far with flying colours, and his front foot approach will get us going again.
I think the current squad is much better than it has shown this past season, but there are still some glaring holes to fill.
Still, all of a sudden there’s a new sense of anticipation, and I can’t wait to see what moves we make, both with signings, and more importantly, the new head coach.

Still puzzled how he bombed at Barca.
