Hello ed2 hope u well. u have favoured slot for lfc job for a good while when nobody mentioned him and looks like he going to be the new manager. u have also said his style of football which will suit us. Do u know what formation he prefers? Or currently plays at feyenord? A lot of 'newer' managers seem to prefer 3 at the back.
{Ed002's Note - He typically uses a 4-2-3-1 formation.}

Defo need a new striker in the summer. Nunez is not the answer. Never has, never will be. 0% composure in front of goal. He's not raw, he's 24 nearly 25 and approaching his peak years. Time to get rid.
Absolutely criminal the way the season has gone down the pan. How are we' still playing slow, ponderous football when it's never got us a result? Klopp and the backroom staff are to blame and it's such a shame.

Nunez has scored 17 goals this season and 10 assists i believe. What has gakpo, jota and Diaz contributed to compare? Are they getting sold too?
I'd like to see nunez under q new gaffer to see if his composure improves.

Gakpo, Diaz and Jota did not cost £85 million. Nunez was bought to be the new focal point of our attack, the player that would make the difference, during the same period when Haaland was bought by City. For me, Nunez has had more than enough chances, played far more games than the other 3, and has replied with a paltry figure.
Nunez has recorded 50 games this season, 18 goals.
In the Prem, Nunez played 32 and scored 11. He scored against Newcastle (twice), West Ham, Nottingham Forest, 2 months later scored against Burnley, Bournemouth (twice), Burnley again, Brentford, Nottingham Forest, Sheffield United.
In the Europa League, Nunez played 10 games and scored 5, against inferior opposition. He scored against LASK, Toulouse, twice against Sparta, then once against Sparta.
In the FA Cup, Nunez played 3 and scored 1. He scored against Norwich.
In the EFL Cup, Nunez played 5 and scored 1. He scored against Bournemouth.
That tells you the player he is, scores only against teams where he will be afforded countless chances. Then, when we actually need him, to break down and score against bigger teams, he wastes the few opportunities he is in position for. And, that is when he is not caught offside.
For me, the boat has sailed with Nunez. And, if any manager that comes in relies on his performance, finishing ability and even availability, then he will find himself out of a job very quickly.

Nunez can be the focal point in our attack but the current slow possession nonsense tactics don't suit him.
If he play fast chaotic footy, the sort of footy that Klopp won everything with, he can be good and I retain absolute faith he can be great. He was no worse than Salah who yet again was abysmal, even the pundits are starting to notice, although about 18 months after myself, but they get there in the end.
No, fault for this damp squib of a send off for Klopp rests entirely at his own feet. He has turned his back on the very style, attitude and tactics that made him and us great. He's betrayed himself and paid for it. Let's hope Slot brings some passion, energy and bravery on the ball back to our play.

I've been a big fan and defender of Nunez but the stats don't lie. For this team, playing the way we currently do, he is not the player for us.
That's not to say that a new style (probably tweaked) under a new manager won't bring out the best of him - I refer to Ron Keague's post of a couple of days ago where he points out that the way we currently play doesn't work with Nunez's strengths - but right now he has gone from a firm fixture ("he will come good") to a definite risk for me.

What's your opinion on Curtis Jones, eds? Honestly not sure what his actual position is or what he brings to our team. Has he improved as a player or our team in the last three seasons? Reckon any new manager won't want him hanging around much longer. I've certainly lost any goodwill I had for him. Just baffled as to why he hasn't seemed at all to have improved as a player.
Him, salah, konate, matip, kostas andone of Diaz or nunez most likely won't be here in New season.
{Ed001's Note - he was doing well until he got injured again, but you clearly just wanted to target him so why waste time asking us for our opinion? Yes he has been poor since his return, but the whole team has been, however you are choosing him as the target.}
24 Apr 2024 22:42:18
I was more suggesting that elliot would bring more to out team than Jones, but Jones gets picked far more. Elliot for me links up better with strikers and has a better, but by no means perfect, end product than Curtis. Yet klopp prefers Curtis based on appearance time and wanted to know your thoughts on who you would choose between the two.
{Ed001's Note - they are not competing for the same spot, Elliott plays right side, Jones left.}
24 Apr 2024 22:45:01
I actually thought Jones was very tidy with the ball in most parts. He's probably our best player on the ball. he's very very good at retaining it aided with his physical strength.
24 Apr 2024 22:55:13
I think Jones is good to slow a game down and retain possession. So for me a sub coming on to close out a game.

My favourite bit about slot is the narrative. Dutch managers struggle in the Premier league, employing a Dutch manager is a risk, a Dutch manager has never won the Premier league.
By that metric we're should be looking for someone scottish or who has a grandad from Spain and a nan from Germany.
24 Apr 2024 20:01:07
No English manager has ever won the PL!
Wenger the first French
Mourinho the first Portuguese
Pep the first Spanish
Klopp the first German
Slot to be the first Dutch then.
24 Apr 2024 22:43:12
It'll likely be City winning it until they go off and form a European super league. Slot will probably do a decent job for us though.
24 Apr 2024 13:38:36
Overly optimistic saying Arsenal would loose last night. Looks like they and City are the two, purely down to their GD. But if you would have said top 3 and a cup after last season the answer would have been yes. Onward and upward.
24 Apr 2024 14:00:41
If you'd said top 3 and league cup when we were top of the league, atalanta in ECL and a woeful Utd in FA Cup with everything in our hands I'd say what a disaster.
24 Apr 2024 18:28:59
Everyone wins their remaining games, we finish level on points with Arsenal and two points behind City would you see that as a disaster McGoverb?
24 Apr 2024 22:27:21
Jude, that's playing out well isn't it.
24 Apr 2024 22:28:09
Yes this season has turned into a disaster.
25 Apr 2024 08:37:33
Even if we miraculously win out remaining games Jude (and at this stage it would be a miracle), we’d finish behind both City and Arsenal if they both win all theirs, Jude.

Hi Ed001. Seems like the Arne Slot rumours are gathering pace. Please can you offer any comments regarding him? Seems like he has a bit of humour and charisma about him - which always helps. Also, he seems to be generally well regarded, etc. Would he be a good fit for us in your opinion? Cheers.
{Ed001's Note - I don't know enough about him to comment sorry.}
24 Apr 2024 15:06:00
He's supposed to be a very good coach which I'd be very happy with because imo we have players who've regressed in the last 2 years under klopp and linders. We have a lot of players who can only improve under slot. I'm just hoping he scraps trent in an inverted role.
24 Apr 2024 07:56:03
Hi Ed02, if you don't mind answering, what type / style of football would you say Slot is favouring?
Thankyou.
{Ed002's Note - It would be a fast attacking soccerball style.}
