It’s this oversimplified depiction:
Slot is a league winner (yeah but in Eredivisie)
Slot was picked by after sifting through extensive data about his performance over time ( yeah but so was Iraola, and he’s consistently improved in the PL)
I mean Ten Haag and Amorim are also league winners…

I do wonder though if any of the ones who liked Mo’s post saying they should work harder will have a bit of an oh-shit moment when preseason starts

Ahh! The number pushers. I hope there’s someone who knows something about football somewhere in the club .
Surely we have a scout in Holland who saw some matches. At least I’ve seen Bournemouth 2 times a season even if I can not remember those matches. I think I saw them play Man Shitty this season where, if my memory is correct, they did a very good job on Haaland (not that I can even imagine any of our players doing that).
I can imagine most of them blowing out their arses!

Yeah my mistake
Some of these players who never played for Klopp are going to be in for a rude awakening. Iraola comes from the Bielsa tree, which is notorious for imposing insane training and fitness standards.
The fitness levels need to improve, to be frank, but it won’t be an easy transition.

Further, if we were to skip on him and he go somewhere else in the PL and be successful, everyone would moan that we never gave him the job

The current confirmed Liverpool backroom staff coming with Iraola. Here’s what they do.
Tom Webber – Lead performance analyst responsible for opposition scouting, tactical reports, video analysis, and identifying pressing triggers.
Pablo de la Torre – Head of physical performance, overseeing fitness, conditioning, recovery, and training intensity to support Iraola’s high-energy style.
Tommy Elphick – Assistant coach who focuses on defensive organisation, individual defender development, and delivering tactical instructions on the training pitch.
Shaun Cooper – Assistant coach with a key role in set-piece coaching, training sessions, and implementing match-specific tactical plans.

A lot of fitness focused set ups get a negative reaction from the players not just because they are averse to hard work but because the training is boring. It makes showing up to play football feel like a boring job. One the things we often heard from the Klopp era was how enthusiastically the players took to the work and how rewarding it was. Maybe that was about how the training was done, but at least part of it was from the knowledge that if you want to play invigorating brand of football that is demanded then you have to put in the hard yards during the week. Most of the people we’ve heard talk about Iraola say the same thing about playing for him.
Its possible that one or two will think they are above it now, or physically cannot do it. But id imagine with where most of where these guys have come from and what they’ve experienced in their careers already there will be a big group that take to it enthusiastically and pull with them which ever of the other players are unsure what to make of it.

Do we still have that nutritionist woman that Jürgen signed? She must be having a fit.

Closer to source of the Garonne than where it empties into the ocean… so not so close.
