Liverpool Thread | 2025/26 | Slot Out (p382)

[Gabriel]

They've missed out on the best option, Alonso.

;-)

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Alonso managerial win percentage is 56%
Iraola managerial win percentage is 38%
Maresca managerial win percentage is 60%.

Same happened to Ranieri too I think.

Ranieri was a manager of Chelsea a long time ago!? So Leicester wasn´t his first year i think.

 

[skillman]

Iraola’s football is more Klopp than it is Slot. High intensity, direct and quick.

Think he’ll work wonders there, unfortunately.

 

[theholysmurf]

Think Ireola is a top appointment to be fair to them. That said, I think Slot should have been given a little more time, won them the league, player unfortunately passed away at the start of the year, and their team is also in transition. If liverpool fans weren’t so self-entitled then he may have been given a fair shot.

Yeah he was, I was more thinking along the lines of it being his first season with Leicester in the prem but no idea if it was, was a wrongful sacking!

Must have been yesterday or day before it was reported he was close to being named leverkusen boss

I know that's fake but he looks better with a buzzcut than fully bald, lol.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Would have liked Ireoli at City tbh

 

[Metal Biker]

Nyuk Nyuk!

 

[jimharri]

You could say the same about Pellegrini inheriting Mancini's team.

You could. But this thread is about Slot.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Wonder if this news might make Salah stay?

 

[dadnlad]

Hope FSG done correct thing and sacked slot without having new manager lined up can you imagine outrage

 

[Ste-CTID]

I agree with the sentiments about Iraola as a coach, but they have some serious rebuilding to do to get a side capable of playing his style of football. One of their issues this season is that they sold all of their grafters in the summer and have been a very passive side.

I'd expect Iraola would move to a back 5 to get the most from Frimpong and Kerkez and they already have no CB depth.

Yeah that is what I was implying. He's an excellent coach but they seem to have moved away from the pure physical power and fitness that once characterised them. I know Klopp changed to control too but he retained a more hybrid style and still had a big element of pressing and running about mental.

I guess Szobozslai (spelling?) could be a grafter type. Gravenberch too. I don't consider Mac Allister, Wirtz, Isak, Ekitike, Gakpo etc physical monsters.

Yeah, just not his first PL season overall. So he kind of qualifies but kind of doesn't.

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

fuck 'em!

I didn't know Phil Mitchell used to manage Liverpool.
