Next Liverpool Head Coach

The Albert
669

Alright so…

Frimpong - high energy player built for aggressive pressing
Wirtz - best presser in Germany
Ekitike - 7th best pressing stats in Germany
Isak - 4th best pressing stats in England - played at Sociedad in the Basque!
Kerkez - absolute machine, played under Iraola
Leoni & Jacquet - young, energetic, quick high line CBs

And who did we try and fail to sign?.. Martin Zubimendi, from the Basque, just like Iraola.

Forget the nice words, this squad wasn’t built for Slot. It was built for the big dog, the main man, the long term target, the man Richard Hughes KNEW would be Liverpool manager years in advance…

Andoni Iraola.

He seems to have had some setbacks which is what I am looking for in a manager and bounced back.

Who knows if he is the right man, I think there is no harm in going for him.

Indeed, you’re right! So, even in his first, most unsuccessful spell, he won a trophy. :flexed_biceps: Without winning a single game though. :joy:

You diminished Iraolas amazing achievements with a team with no pedigree.

As I said both Feyenoord and Dortmund have a far higher standing than Bournemouth in their respective leagues.

That is all, I respect what Jurgen did and Arne, but the PL is a lot harder week in week out.

I absolutely did not.
And I didn’t even mention Slot.

Tommy Elphick is a lifelong Liverpool fan, which is a nice touch. He turned down the manager’s job at Bristol City to stick with Iraola and come here.

No problem I understand where you are coming from and your fears.

I would say that Iraola might be able to compensate for this somewhat thanks to his experience as a team captain under Bielsa and with the Spanish national team. As a player, he certainly has a more impressive track record than Slot—and even Jürgen.

We’ll see how that translates—I’m curious.

No, you clearly did not understand what I was trying to say at all and I’m not fearful, actually very optimistic about this

They should add another kind of brushing to airbrushing…AIbrushing

I am pumped!!! Here we go indeed!!

The world cup can go fuck itself (I’m sure Trump already tried, seeing it’s made of gold and all)

Apologies, it is all the cross quoting and replies, it was Roadrunner that I initially replied to.

Me too @Livvy - have only ever worn black since my late teens. Sometimes toned with a bit of grey, and very rarely when unavoidable, with a splash of white… Not in any existential sort of way, but it does saves having to make decisions on what colours to wear every time I look in the wardrobe :0)

The note of caution here is that he has never had to set up an attacking platform at a team that can expect to face a low block in 30 games a season.

Yes, I just edited my post to include that. It was considered a strange move at the time to reject Bristol City who are themselves a pretty progressive and upwardly mobile club but then it all made sense when Slot got fired.

If he’s like me, it’s because he is colour blind and isn’t allowed to choose anything else unless accompanied by a woman.
