- HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT KLOPP REPLACEMENT OPTIONS AT LIVERPOOL? Jurgen Klopp is leaving, how do you replace the irreplaceable? The tactical approach matters, but today let's focus on the importance of vibes and personality fit of the like of Ange Postecoglu, Zinedine Zidane, Thomas Frank, Julian Nagelsmann, Roberto De Zerbi and Xabi Alonso at Anfield.

Has to be Alonso. I feel he will bring the least disruption, relatable, no ego, will keep things going. Can identify good players. I reckon can make us even better. There's a risk whoever we get. Alonso is the smallest risk imho.
He does lack a bit of character though doesn't look like he knows how to motivate players and the crowd
HUGE risk,completely untested.Claudio Ranieri won the league with Leicester City.
@@user-zk9xe3wm3v elaborate?
@@pornsuckshas motivated Leverkusen from relegation candidates to challenging Bayern. Bought in some excellent players.
@@Vander-Knot completely
No-one ever saw Alonso coming as a player, he played like a coach and killed teams with his positioning alone. He’d smash it here 😼
Alonso has created his own style of play and is doing a phenomenal job at Leverkusen with a relatively limited budget. And also he has a very good history with the club. That's why he is a fit.
Stevie G. Alonso will go Bayern.

Looking for someone perfect is a fools errand. Someone will come in and succeed or fail...life.
Alonso and hope for the best
What we have to realise ,as a club, we can't look for a Klopp clone......there's none! We need someone completely different. We need a new, young manager......my choice would be Xabi Alonso. He has all the tools to get to the very top of the game. Julian Nagelsmann is a great coach but his attitude is a problem.....ask anybody at Munich. Would love Roberto De Zerbi too.....anybody who Real Madrid looked at to replace Ancelotti, is good enough for me.
Jurgen Klopp is irreplaceable. How can you replace the irreplaceable? It's so difficult to pick the same 'normal one' like Klopp! Hope Liverpool will be able to choose a right one after Klopp! I like Xabi Alonso.
No one can replace Klopp realistically, not even from the point of view of his skill as a manager, but the energy and command he brings to the club. Alonso I genuinely think is the only one I believe could step in for a somewhat seamless transition. He looks like an extraordinary young talent, and knows/loves the club. Everything is a disappointment right now but he would give me the most hope.
Look at the history Shanks similar character to Klopp, then came Bob similar character to Alnso.....we don't need another Klopp, Klopp is not a manager that can build a dynasty, Alonso is!
I think we all want xabi Alonso!
Personally I think there’s only one logical choice. There’s great managers who are ageing and won’t be there for long and then we’re in the same boat again needing a new manager. A lot of people are begging for experience; Frank and de Zerbi, I like them both, but the problem is their style is the exact same as Klopp’s which again I think is only going to work short term. Pep dominated with Tiki-Taka, but as soon as Brendan Rodgers was playing that style at Swansea, you saw that style die out because everyone had it sussed out. Right now gegenpressing in its multiple forms is the dominant form of football, not just in the sense teams winning trophies, but also in how many clubs play that way, like the teams rock bottom of the league are starting to play it. It’s a style of play with a ticking time bomb on it until it’s completely sussed out and if you want to win trophies you’ll have to innovate. So that rules out every single copycat which includes the once highly regarded Nagelsmann. Michel (Girona), Thiago Motta (Bologna) and Xabi Alonso (Leverkusen) are all playing a new style of football, each with their own distinctive style. Michel almost certainly being groomed for the City job. Motta won’t meet the entertainment standards. Then there’s the best of the bunch, Xabi Alonso who just so happens to be a former Liverpool player. All these people asking for more experience, I don’t agree with it. Dalglish, Guardiola, Zidane, Arteta, plenty of examples of showing someone is good enough despite experience. Alonso with all that potential he has with a style of football that has undone the most popular style of play in the world right now and bare in mind it takes the world 8 years or so to catch up, it’s only the very best that will innovate. So while the likes of Brighton will be playing a style for the best part of a decade, Alonso will have the rest of the league sussed out along with the bulk of Europe all while everyone will try to imitate him. Inheriting a great squad that’s got a good amount of talented young players, Xabi could be another Paisley or Guardiola. That risk is far better than going for a manager who’ll more than likely be fired in three years. It’s time to be ahead of the curve and setup for the longterm. Then stick with the Liverpool way, Alonso’s replacement should be someone who played under Klopp, Henderson, Milner, Virg all come to mind. Players who use their mind above their talent. Whatever the future holds for those players is completely unpredictable though. But I’m just generally speaking there. It seems likely that one of them will join the back room staff when they retire.
@@user-zk9xe3wm3v Alonso has spoken in the past. He considers Liverpool his second home, not Real and not Bayern. He also didn’t dump us for Real. Rafa dumped him because he wanted to sign Barry the summer before. Xabi dumped Rafa not Liverpool.
@@user-zk9xe3wm3v I was never rude to you and you’ve come back with an attitude. I don’t have to do my research, but you most certainly do. Rafa left June 2010. FSG bought Liverpool October 2010. Hicks and Gillette ran the club into the ground. Rafa didn’t have to sell to buy because Hicks and Gillette took out loans and didn’t pay any of it back putting the club in debt and on the verge of administration which FSG saved the club from. I don’t have to do research, I lived it. You very clearly did not and yet you have an attitude because you feel a need to be right on everything when Rafa Benitez himself said that he felt Gareth Barry was better in the system than Xabi Alonso and so he tried selling Alonso and signing Barry. Xabi Alonso said himself that if that had not occurred he would’ve stayed. So maybe next time rather than arguing you are right and telling people to do research perhaps actually stop, think and wonder if what you have to say is actually right and whether the person you’re talking to actually knows more than you do. Anything you say hence forth will be completely and utterly rendered useless for the mere fact you thought FSG were in charge while Rafa was at the club. So step being a divvy and be more courteous next time. Enjoy the match, lad.
@@user-zk9xe3wm3v And you proved my point. Rafa thought he was expendable and Barry was better. Therefore he felt unwanted. What are you not getting?
@@user-zk9xe3wm3v I did read the words Xabi said and he very clearly says that Rafa considered him expendable and that’s why he left. His manager no longer wanted him. That’s not an opinion that’s a fact and you twisting those words is also not an opinion. It’s called manipulation and you insisting you are right is you attempting to manipulate me when the very quote you supplied backs up that Xabi left because Rafa didn’t want him. It’s also not an opinion that you think Xabi would leave again for Real, that’s a prediction and I’m sorry, Mystic Meg, but that just doesn’t cut it.
@@user-zk9xe3wm3v What a load of drivel. Rafa considering Alonso expendable is like Klopp considering van Dijk expendable and that there’s better out there. It’s just clueless from Rafa. Alonso chose to leave for a completely justifiable reason, he wasn’t valued by the manager and he knew he was one of the best in the world and therefore shouldn’t be sitting on the bench because his manager wanted a different player who wasn’t even as good. That’s not thick skinned enough, that’s called not being stupid and wasting your career where you’re not wanted. Real genius if your manager wants to get rid of you and you decide to stay. These aren’t your opinions, these are your very skewed perspective of life which are extremely bias and designed to suit you and ignoring logic of others. And as for the lacking experience part, again, it’s been proven in the past that experience isn’t as vital as you think. If you wanted to convey an opinion, all you needed to say was “Personally I don’t want Alonso.” Instead you got argumentative because “My opinion is the only valid one and fuck anyone who disagrees, let me make shit up and twist someone’s words to make them seem like they stabbed us in the back so I can be all high and mighty. Fuck Xabi Alonso, the worthless bastard. When he says left I hear right and no one can say otherwise. He’s a lying little rat.” You’re beyond childish.
Can we not feed all of Klopp's previous pressers and team updates into an AI engine and have KloppGPT?
Finally, someone speaking sense
I’ve looked at Xabi Alonso he’s the man to take us forward
Alonso is a risk but if you look deeper at his stats he’s very much perfect for us.
Interesting any big manager will be named as a prospect.
Also guys. History could be about to repeat history here. Look at it this was. When shankley stood down everyone was devod. But look what happens a quiet geordie steps up and becomes the greatest manager of all time. Alonso could be our paisley.
So could Pep :-)
Xabi Alonso is a winner. 1 World Cup, 2 European cups, multiple champions leagues and multiple top flight winner across multiple European leagues. Combined with his current vein of form, I’d say he’s got some experience.
As a player he was, but also he vant be trusted, dont forget he forced a move from liverpool to Madrid.
@@seannewton1355 he stayed with Liverpool when they were terrible. He stayed longer than a player of his calibre should have. On top of that, he’s Spanish, so why wouldn’t a player want to play for the most successful team of all time in his own country of birth?
I think you’re being a little harsh when questioning his loyalty to Liverpool in all honesty.
Xabi is the one who makes me feel comfortable and positive the only one out of all of them !!!
Alonso can continue the good work, he will command respect from the players also.
For me it's Xabi Alonso.
He is the only candidate. Look who he has been coached by... Rafa, Mourinho, Ancelloti and Pep. I know hes not winning leagues, but look what Arteta has done at Arsenal in his first job and he only learned from one top quality manager in Pep (maybe Wenger). If (and its a big if...) Alonso wins the league in Germany this year, ending the Bayern dominance. I think that shows that he has what it takes to manage us and he would come with experience as a player who played for huge clubs, won huge trophies and bosses almost every game he was in, and the experience of playing for the great managers iv mentioned, as well as a year and a half taking a team from flirting with relegation to winning the German league.
And yes... He is sooo cool! For me... Alonso is the man!
None of them are going to be as likeable as Klopp. I just hope whoever comes in does a Paisley and takes the foundations in place and polishes them to make us lift more silverware. I only really like the idea of Xabi or Lijnders. My main gripe with Lijnders is who his coaching staff would be, because I think the others would wanna be with Klopp when he eventually takes his next job. Alonso is an exciting choice given his stature in Liverpool, his knowledge of the game, his playing career/experiences, the coaches he’s worked under, and how he’s taking on a giant in Bayern
Pep Guardiola took on the management of Barcelona after coaching Barcelona B. He didn't have big club management experience before taking on that role and he has done alright don't you think. Xabi Alonso is clearly the man to take on the Liverpool job.
Xabi Alonso is the one, i wouldn't be mad at having De Zerbi as our boss either.
Amorim getting a lot of love from people.
I'm as worried' about the departure o the staff as I am about Klopp. Asst managers 1 & 2 plus my biggest concern - Vitor Matos, Elite Development head. Responsible for the development and identification of young talent through U18's and U21's. You just have to look at the exciting, quality youngsters coming through right now. We wouldn't have them but for Matos.
P.S. I'm old enough to remember "reams" of data on actual reams of A4 paper in binders! Never mind your new-fangled printed data sheets 😅
I really, really rate Thomas Frank and love his character/personality which I think is a lot more important at a club like Liverpool than someone else. He's also proved he can come up with a plan for beating the top sides like Man City away. Yes it's a gamble, but absolutely everybody is at this point. Xabi would be my second choice but we'll just have to wait and see....and hope! Lol
Klopp is irreplaceable. No matter who comes in, the style of play will never be the same again 😢💔
For me the perfect candidate to replace Klopp would be Pep Lijnders
One thing Rogers had above all else, was he was able to show character.
And Kolo Toure
outstanding wee technician as well.
Beautiful human being.
And brought us wee Joe Allen too 😂
The risk we get with getting Alonso is that we will probably lose him to Madrid in 3 years
Hey Maytch it’s the boy from Brizzy Australia who you kindly took a photo with at the Newcastle game.
Can we make this a thing ? Boney M’s Sunny….
Darwin, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Darwin, you scored and really eased the pain
The sad days have gone and the bright days are here
Darwin’s goals fill me with cheer
Darwin one so true I love you !
You can tell I have little better to do today 😂
Yea …….. You can lad 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@kayo1019 hahahaha fill your boots mate 😂
Alonso has a system, an identity, which supporters need to see and be on board with. As soon as the news came about Klopp leaving, Alonso's name was my first reaction. Another name that i came up with was Diego Simione. A passionate guy who's doing well at A.Madrid. Only the language barrier might hinder this.
I'd love for it to be Xabi. I have no doubt that he would have us playing great attacking football.
Yes, your spot on, the vibe is very important. In addition to style and success, a presence is important. Klopp’s a one off, he’d have been a leader in whatever he’d have done. An Alpha of Alpha’s. But I can say that if I had a super expensive car with flashing red lights all over my dash, I’d be quite comfortable handing my keys over to Alonso at the main dealers, knowing he’d sort it and fix the problem without much fuss. That’s also a good vibe to give off. Hope that makes sense 😂
Alonso is the only name that will get me excited at this point - a LFC legend, young and ambitious, calm and collected, Spanish native speaker...
The others... Meh...
Thoughts on Unai Emery? Has Villa performing far beyond what anyone expected of them. Imagine what he could do with a title winning group of young players
Yea ,but does he struggle at big clubs? Arsenal obviously....let's wait and see where villa finish off ,could fade rapidly
I can't help but agree with the 'will keep it going' bit. The parallels to Shankly's departure in '74 has been done to death by now, but for good reason. I remember Clemence once talking about what Paisley said and did after Shankly left - it was basically about keeping it going. Alonso coming in to the hot seat isn't a take-for-take parallel to Paisley taking over (he wouldn't be. Boot Room promotion so to speak), but Xabi knows the Kop, the city, he has a finger on the Red pulse.
Liverpool are now an elite team. Ive never been able to say that in the 35 years ive supported the club
Alonso brings leverkusen to a trophy it’s gotta be him. Even if it doesn’t work out the chance it does is worth the risk
Hansi Flick -German connection, currently not employed. Plays the Same style and known for youth development. Under the radar at present- Hansi Flick s the next manager
I agree. We go German again! 😃
On some sites Reuben Amorim is now 6/1 he was 20/1 a few days ago. 3 years younger than Xabi.
Has to be Alonso, like yeah he doesnt have experience or silverware.
However, currently hes boss, and im hella worried that if we dont get him, he'll go to Bayern or Madrid.
I reckon whether or not Bayern win the league, Tuchel is probably gonna be gone at the end of the season, and who knows what Madrid plan on doing, they extended Carlos contract but if they lose out on the league to Girona, it could be carlo on the chopping block
If only Marcel Bielsa was younger, the football would be amazing
Jürgen Klopp has built and solidified so much of what we know and feel as “The Liverpool Way” / “The Liverpool Identity” that it only makes us feel comfortable when someone like a Xabi Alonso, who is one of us and also, at this moment in time, being successful, is in line to lead our squad next year. No one else in that list makes us feel “safe”.
At this moment, no one but Xabi Alonso would make us feel better.
But my worry is exactly that. What if we are too emotional about this, about feeling comfortable with ourselves, that we make the wrong decision in bringing in someone who hasn’t had that much of an experience at the very top level?
The best we can hope for is for Xabi to come in, pick up right where Jürgen left off, hit the ground running, and make Mikel Arteta look like a poor man’s Xabi Alonso.
We have an interesting 12 months ahead of us. Hopefully, in a really good way.
I think it will and should be Alonso, Ancelotti would be perfect to continue off Klopp but I doubt he'd leave Madrid. Alonso is a bit inexperienced BUT his history with the club and managerial success currently makes him look like a man with a very bright future. i think Alonso could be great for Liverpool but he just isn't Klopp and that will always hurt a little bit. Also don't forget Alonso won the ucl in his first season as a liverpool player... he could do it again with his first season as manager (i'm using delusion to get over klopp leaving)
The only issue with Xabi is the way he plays will put some question marks on players that we largley find integral for us atm .
Are we prepared to say goodbye to them 😢
We've changed under klopp with largely the same players
Hear me out, I think Jose would actually fit really well. Yes his football seems extremely shit but look at the squads he's had at his last few jobs (United, Spurs, and Roma). Even at Spurs he had good spells where they were playing scintillating, fast paced direct football. Imagine what he could do with a proper squad like ours with the strength and professionalism we have. I genuinely think he'd have us playing like his record breaking Real Madrid team... with Trent's passing range, our lightning paced attackers, and our physical center backs Jose would have a field day especially in big games. I also think he's got a really strong personality and would actually bring the heat and experience needed to battle Pep, unlike some of the younger managers that are being linked. My only concern with Jose is he's got a bit of an ego but he's shown that deep down he's a good guy with a lot of passion, and given that he has talked plenty about how much respect he has for Liverpool over the years, I think he could be a revelation here.
No
Away on absolutely never
Articulated perfectly 🙌🏻 agree we should take a leap of faith with Alonso
Thomas Frank and Stevie G, you gotta be kidding me.
Spot on comments. I have a feeling that there is mileage in Pep coming back as manager. Bit like Bob stepping into the role after Shanks. It doesn't need to be the big personality to drive success. The more studious type that can engender the same culture within the club, could be just what we need. I know it seems a bit safe in many ways but don't underestimate the bleeding obvious. Failing that, Xabi Alonso all day long. I just hope his overall love of the club wasn't infected by Rafa's bundled attempt to offload him for Gareth Barry :-)
I’d love Alonso but at the same time his tactics worries me for our squad. I’m that guy who thinks if it’s not broken don’t change it in terms of formation but what could this mean for some of our players?
Who cares about what it means for certain players, you’re meant to be a Liverpool fan. I care about the club and the club winning not some pathetic rich nonce that would stab you in the back the moment they get a better offer.
I have watched Alonso's leverkusen this season a few times.
Something about him gives me the vibe that he is the right man.
Even as a non scouser, i notice how a Liverpool manager is viewed by the locals especially.
Alonso, as someone who is still adored by the fanbase , doing phenomenally well, and charismatic, he would be the right fit for many.
Whoever it is, Let's hope the club make the right decision as it is fundamental.
Come on xabi Alonso once a red Always a red! ❤
Wouldn’t the feeling be amazing to get Xabi as number 1 and stevie g as number 2 picture them 2 in the manager box
Would never happen but for me the heart ache will ease abit seeing that
Remember that giant mosaic picture of Brendan Rogers on the wall in his new house once he got to Liverpool , soon as I seen that I knew exactly what we had
Everyone is waiting for the next Pep, a club legend who turns manager and does the business with a big club. It wasn’t Rooney, or Lampard, or Stevie (yet), but I could be Xabi. I also think he’s intelligent enough to adjust his tactics and playing style to suit the players available. I say go for it, before he wins in Germany and ends up at Madrid!
I am definitely Dot Matrix Years Old as well, Paul.
I understand how you feel about Xabi Alonso. I think with him we could put a bit of insurance in in the way of a good number two. Milly has been mentioned but there are other options either a strong number two as Milly would be (like Ronnie Moran) or a number two who has the tactical support he may need. It is going to be interesting.
pep lijnders. Will keep our style of play going. Build on what we have.
They already confirmed he's leaving too
@@theMad_Artist as an assistant.
Got the reference, also got a wave of PTSD working in a post room in my adolescence. Thanks mate!
Alonso is that guy 💯 hel improve our players, maximise our potential, and the fans will absolutely love him aswell ❤
Just needs to bring wirtz and hinacampie with him
All of this is spot on, i think almost any you've named are capable of doing a good job but the only name that gives my heart and head peace is Alonso and i can't exactly say why...
Between Xabi and Ruben Amorim for me. Our successful M.O is to get manager's who take unfashionable teams to new heights. Both currently fit that mold, although both are huge risks. I'd lean towards Xabi, simply that he'd be guaranteed time, where as I think a poor start from Amorim might see him lose some of the crowd.
Ideal case scenario - Xabi Alonso comes in for 2 years, wins the premier league he missed out on as a player, goes to manage real madrid with our blessing and we get a rested refreshed klopp back to go again!!!!!🙏🙏
I love that ❤
Spot on video Paul. As an Australian with a Greek background, I would be made up if Big Ange got the job. His ideals and his personality for me would be the perfect fit (his persona is probably slightly more Rafa than Klopp, but he has a decent sense of humour), and his style of football, with better players than Spurs, he could do some special things. Agree your thoughts on Frank and De Zerbi, he gives me Potter at Chelsea vibes. Xabi Alonso appeals to me given his Liverpool background. He is the standout young manager in world football and I would be prepared to give him the reigns, especially if he guides Leverkusen to the Bundesliga. So Xabi or Ange for me and I’d be happy.
Good overview. At this point after reviewing videos of Xabi, his tactics and how he transformed Leverkusen from close to relegation to top of the Bundesliga currently, it’s him I would feel most positive about. Good vibes.
I got the printer reference 😮.YNWA
What about Hansi Flick? A few years ago we would have all taken him. Won a treble with Bayern with similar style football.
Klopp is irreplaceable. Xabi Alonso has that Liverpool vibe.
I honestly can’t get past Alonso at the moment. He’s the hottest young manager in world football right now. And he comes with some high regards. It doesn’t feel like anything he’s done is flukey but actually has substance. We have the foundation at Liverpool right now that can see a promising young manager with high aspirations succeed.
Why is no one talking about Thiago Motta!!!
He made bologna a solid side. He plays good football and makes players better. Strong personality
Real giant killer on a budget
100% he’s my pick
@Maych Tv Do you think the names being linked to the job are of the required level? I think it shows the current lack of top class managers available when Xabi Alonso is favourite for the job. FSG need to do their due diligence and get this right.
I was always hoping Pepijn Lijnders would carry on from klopp
Alonso is genuinely the only manager i get excited about, i believe hes the guy 100% ..he needs to be signed
Ange would be a terrible pick because he's tactically very naive. Gerrard's tactics are basic at best. Alonso has to be the one that takes over. I know he hasn't been in management that long, but he's already shown that with a limited budget, he can still get the most out of a squad.
Gerrard shouldn’t even be in the conversation. He nearly got villa relegated and was on a 2 month winless streak in Saudi ffs
It’s simple for me it’s Xabi - nobody can say what have you done mate ! Erm won it all including the World Cup and played at elite clubs in 3 different countries.
He’s classy sexy and loves Liverpool already.
We’re not signing him to play you Demmick.
With you mate, it's Alonso. Everything just seems to fit, all the way down to the players that we have and how he could implement his style/formation.
We sacked Brendan at the perfect time enabling us to get Klopp. Now, as much as I don't want him to go, I feel like Klopp could actually be leaving at the perfect time allowing us to go for Xabi.
He looks destined to be one of the new generation of great managers. And without doubt if not Liverpool he will be snapped up by some other huge club in the next few years.
I only want Alonso, even if it doesn’t work out, no one else out there is exciting
Xabi is all set for greatness, he was one of the most complete midfielders, maybe the best passer the game has had, having won everything trophy out there in his make up, picking a second bottom team, against all odds to 6th placed finish and good run in Europa league, now top of the German league, all the signs are there that he is next klopp with a different personality though, he was adored by Liverpool fans, he is the one, it’s all falling in place for him to come take the baton from klopp, take Liverpool to new heights, safe guard klopps unbelievable work and the the foundation that klopp has put in place, with a transitonal period in the beginning, Xabi takes Liverpool to new heights and in the process show his greatness, marriage made in heaven, exactly it was when klopp came, Xabi it is and Xabi is the man.
Has to be Alonso or Amorim. The latter plays the most similar footy to klopp
I'm very sad because Klopp is leaving, I will miss the man more that I will miss the manager, but as a very positive person that I am, I want for us to use this opportunity to go for higher level. Maybe we can go for a manager with a possession based football with better knowledge in open up low blocks and in the same time a better defensive structure to stop conceding very easy goals by any team of the planet. Don't get me wrong, Klopp was AMAZING for us but I'm very sure we had always been the underdogs with him at the wheel, I want for us to go to the next level and dominate. Nobody is irreplaceable guys. YNWA
Klopp is not the one who gave us underdog status. That is the owners (when competing with oil-state-funded clubs)
Alonso, Ange, Tuchel and Thomas Frank are good shouts
Need Nagelsmann to be able to do a Kickflip McTwist. If he can, I'm all in.
It has to be Alonso or him. Alonso should be priority though as he looks like he has the potential to be a very special manager
Alonso’s got all the makings of a top manager. Absolute second to none footballing brain when he was a player, cool calm and collected. We need someone from a different mould to Klopp, and Xabi’s that. Anyone is a downgrade on Klopp, but if it works with Xabi it solidifies us for the next 10+ years.
If it goes well, every chance Xabi takes the Real Madrid job in "the next 10 years". That's part of my concerns, actually: we're taking the risk, but we won't get all of the upside because I don't see him staying for 10 years if it all goes brilliantly
@maych tv I loved making slinkies out of the perforated edges. Lol thats a long time ago.
Great vid Paul 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 personally at the moment I’d go with De Zerbi, purely based on the football they’ve played since he’s been in charge, I like the way he gives it out too and reckon he’d be a good fit. More than happy if it’s Alonso though, legend of club, bayer have been outstanding, past that tbh there aren’t many outstanding candidates for me
Big Ange is the emperors new clothes of PL managers. Covers up for a lack of ability with soundbites, entertaining football and saying "mate" a lot. He'll win nothing at Spurs and they won't mind, they're expectation are really that low.
3:35 did the ambulance in the background just happen to drive by when u mentioned crap English managers who put out fires?
I don't know if Zidane's just not into managing anymore
But, and it is a massive "But"
If he is, massive figure that will command respect, at madrid played with 4 players in defence, two of 'em flying fullbacks. And in an attacking sense, potentially similar to Klopp, in that he liked to emphasize the need of good chemistry, and freedom of expression
But also, if you’re gonna back him financially then Rafa Benitez is also a decent shout
Pep Linjers for me (hmm spelling) LFC should keep it indoors and go back to the process of the past.
The boot room culture is long gone mate. I respect the sentiment but that’s just not gonna work in modern football. At least not long term
@@DJL99But why not? Just cos other clubs don't do it.
Personally, there's huge reservations over Xabi Alonso. Will the interest disappear should he fail to win the Bundesliga ? The permutations as L'pool manager aren't as transparent as one would presume. Klopp is a manager first & foremost, while that's seems absurd & wildly obvious, there's a huge disparity between let's say for example, Klopp & Pep. Klopp oversee's the bureaucracy & administration of the club, Pep is a coach first. He also has a team around him assisting the daily rigours of the job. Another valid argument in favour of Klopp in the old proverbial "Vs Pep" debate. FSG function under a specific ethos, ultimately a "Sell before buy" policy. It's only my opinion but it's way too way for Xabi. De Zerbi would seem an inevitable option but an option only, Nagglesman has to be our first viable solution. This is a man who offers experience, personality & is wholey impressionable. Not to mention his ethos, his tactical approach to the game is similar to that of Klopp. The formation he plays, with a front 3, suggests so. I genuinely believe Nagglesman would be the right fit. And if we are interested, we have to act fast... He has a contract with the German national team up until early summer before the tournament starts. Basically a trial period. Alot of clubs will be sniffing around !
The trouble with anyone who has 'top-level experience' is that they generally also come with a lot of baggage. I think to use this as a reason not to go for someone like Alonso is a bit 'conservative'.
By this I mean that he seems to have obvious talent in managing a group of players because Levekeusen are actual proof of it. A certain amount of risk is a good thing if the positives outweigh the negatives and, in his case, they certainly seem to and that would mean that he is also FULL of juice (in his tank) and will also reap just as much satisfaction and enthusiasm as everyone else as he 'grows' with the club and us, the supporters. He becomes one of us by default in fact, as a pose to being the father-figure as Jurgen is.
Dunno if that makes sense but I'm just sayin'...
Thomas Frank is the one, he is smart and get the best out of what he has
The next manager like all previous managers must carry on The Boot Room legacy and share the values that Shankly / the club stand for. Thomas Frank is really good shout. A nice manager, cares about his players / staff / wider community, has done wonders with the Brentford men’s team, gives players a chance, plays really attractive football. Frank has even coached the women’s division and academy teams a number of times too, supporting them, giving them feedback, watching their games etc... Plus Liverpool have a huge following in Denmark with Molby, Agger and now Lundgaard all playing for the club. We’ve got a massive OSC in Copenhagen too. YNWA
Key attribute....We need a manager that will be able to attract top and emerging talent to the club from day 1. That was evident when Benitez and Klopp came in...All of a sudden we had players joining who wouldn't have considered Liverpool
I agree with the Alonso view.
Been a Liverpool player, knows the expectations.
But going from where he is now to the size and might of Liverpool FC, this is a huge jump.
What about Antonio Conte?
Managed at the highest level, won trophies, he is passionate.
But it would be a style of play, his relationship with the board.
What happened at Spurs, but he will have better players than he did at Spurs.
I think everyone is getting this in the wrong order. Surely the first and now most important thing is sporting director, who will then dictate the manager, coach and rest of the team. At the moment at the end of the year we have nothing. You can see at Man U how not having the correct sporting director leads to a series of incorrect manager.
It would be great if you could start at the less exciting but more important end.
I think the timing of all this was for klopp to have it on his terms and it not coming from the media first. I also think there discussing a gentleman's agreement with Alonso to part ways in the summer. Big opportunity for him, a club he loves, a mouthwatering squad any manager would want! Plus.. I dont think Madrid would risk swapping Carlo for Xabi right now because of the lack of experience on Xabi's part.
Hi paul ❤⚽️
I would like to have seen Ljinders getting a go but obviously they told him no, players know him he knows how things work etc, I know he is unproven but so is Alonso in the prem.
Alonso has been a huge success at Leverkusen a team that was struggling badly. Lijnders did a horrible job at the one job he got.
its ONLY the ex-red legend big XABI .💯🔥
I'm not sure on Xabi. Klopp's team is built for fast and direct transition, but Xabi likes to control possession with intricate short passing sequences. Xabi's history in the game and with the club brings the right vibe, but his tactical instruction will be very different to what the team is used to and has found success with. Doing what Xabi wants will be a project, that'll take time and some players won't fit. I'd give it to Pep Lijnders for continuity, both tactically and vibe, but sadly I don't think he wants it, and / or maybe FSG can't see he's ready
Finally an accurate opinion, no one takes into account that Klopp's team is a team of quick transitions to Xabi's game which would be a guardiola 2.0 possession and infinite passing, if Xabi were to arrive it would be the last season for many team members. It would be a total gamble and a very risky one. The most logical thing would be for PEP Lijnders to continue with Klopp's project, it would be the natural thing to do.
Totally get it, in terms of vibes and feel alone, Alonso and Ange make me feel the best. So on that alone, lets go there. ;-) :D
