This is a huge gamble. I fully expect it to fsil.
Lol.
Fail of a post.
On a serious note though Greg, I’m a little bit concerned about the reasons I’ve read for his appointment.
It’s basically that the his preferred style of play is closest to what suits the current playing staff.
Bit of a red flag tbh. Liverpool have been playing the same 4-3-3 system now for 8+ years and the only tactical changes being the inverting full back experiment.
Even with Klopp’s side the drop off from the functional athletic midfield of Henderson/Wijnaldum/Fabinho supporting the full backs supplying prime Salah/Firmino/Mane to what they’re at now is frightening.
Of those 8 positions possibly only McAllister is an improvement from todays team.
Amorim supposedly preferred a 3 at the back type set up. So what like?
The manager should decide the tactics really.
Looks like lfc are going to try the “cleverest boys in the room” schtick again.
The Klopp appointment wasn’t a thinking outside of the box decision.
He already had a very good reputation with what he’d achieved at Dortmund and given the state of the club when he took over, convincing him to take the role when he was hot property was very lucky.
The Slot appointed is a gigantic risk by Edwards. And it suggests there’s not going to be a drastic rebuild given they’ve basically picked him to work with whats already there.
