Of course, a manager plays his style, but they’ve recruited for Arne Slot’s style, which was not quite Jurgen Klopp; it’s a bit more control.“Now, when we’re saying the football wasn’t great, you’re right. It was slow, laborious, but it wasn’t a case of the manager being defensive.

That’s my worry.“When we said the football was slow, the press wasn’t there. So you almost brought these talented players in, and they couldn’t play this style that we associated with Klopp, we saw bits of in his first season, and Liverpool went the other way.”Let’s just hope Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz can step up under the new coach.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
