Some boy 😮‍💨

Appreciate that fella, thankyou 🫡

Thankyou for the descriptive comment, you know your stuff mate. Everything you said is spot on. Geertruida & Wieffer both look like they have strong links to Italy, so we might have to look elsewhere. I agree with the Hincapie shout, I think it’s fair to say that’s Liverpool’s priority signing alongside a 6, and Hincapie seems to be the perfect fit. He only played 46% of the minutes available for Levekusen this season, so surely we have negotiating power there. Would you start Gakpo on the left, or would you still go with Diaz?

@@odsfootball personally I'd prefer Hincapie over Calafiori due to the fact I've seen alot more of him. Robertson for me will need rotating more as he has started picking up more injuries lately, whether that's due to the intensity he plays at l don't know. I'm delighted Gakpo is showing just how good he is for the Dutch during the euros, you can tell he's so much more comfortable playing out on the left with the licence to drift inside & have his fellow LB overlap him rather than being a false 9. If Diaz does stay then Slot will have brilliant competition on his hands for the LW position. Both players played at PSV & FC Porto on the LW in a 4-2-3-1 & both do the same for their countries in the same formation which is also preferred by Slot which will help. Gakpo, Diaz & Jones all options for the LW, Szoboszlai can also play there too. Jones, Elliott & Szoboszlai all options for the AM role in the 4-2-3-1. Just need a RW to rotate with Salah & help with his workload now he'll be 32 by thr start of thr new season. Anthony Gordon perhaps?

Would you play Gakpo over Díaz out of interest?

YNWA

Thankyou for the kind words 👍

Who would you want to sign?

100%, we’ve seen glimpses of his ability to be super clinical (Newcastle) so he’s definitely got it in him.

Neves is a serious player, I’m just not sure if that Pivot would work.

@@odsfootball I was the same until I was checking out some stats on him today. His defensive contributions could left mac play however he wants, similar to caicedo did at Brighton. I'm kind of a believer now in the kid and how he'd work

He’s definitely underrated in terms of his defensive work. He might not be physically imposing either, like a Wieffer / Onana etc but he’s 100% good enough to play there. My only concern is his price-tag, I think we could get a slightly better suited player (maybe not as high of a ceiling) for half the price. I really can’t see us spending the reported fee for him.

What’s give you that impression, out of interest?

Do you think a Trent x Macca double pivot would work?

@@odsfootball I think it’d be boss, they’re basically a double pivot in that 3-2-5 shape now wouldn’t you say?

Yeah that’s why Klopp started Trent at RB though, so he can Invert whilst in possession. I think if Slot starts Trent in midfield, you wouldn’t see that Pivot. Usually the second 6 alongside Wiffer pushes into like an advanced 8 role, and whilst I think Trent can definitely do that, I think Slot would rather him be deeper.

I think Jota is probably the best natural finisher at the club, but with him only playing sub 2900’ across the last 2 seasons (1/3 of the available minutes) I don’t know how Slot would use him. I don’t think he can effectively play off the left, and with his injury problems, I don’t think he’d be the main number 9. Serious, serious player on his day, but I can’t see him being anything more than a rotational player unfortunately.

Thanks fella, I appreciate you tuning in 👍

With the way Slot uses his right-back to invert into midfield, I can only see Trent playing there. He’s so talented but I don’t think he can play as a 6, and I can’t see him starting as an 8 (as much as I’d like to see that). I’m really looking forward to seeing how he assembles this team.

Thankyou my Bro 💜

Cheers for the kind words mate. Hartman is definitely another LB option we could get, my only concerns is of course his injury. At 22, he's already missed over 70 games through injury, and that's not good at all. Could/ will develop into a top player, but I don't think I'd want to take the risk. especially considering the Premier League is alot more physically demanding. Abit cliche, but if he can stay relatively injury free, it's a player I'd 100% consider! The forward line is going to be an interesting one for sure. I don't think anyone can accurately predict what's going to happen with it. Appreciate your comment bro.

Going too chealse

A man of culture, respect.

@@odsfootball and Klopp is the reason for my veneers 😂

It would make a lot of sense with Slot already being very familiar with him.

Thankyou for the kind words mate!

I said 'Assed' once in a 25 minute video? I Apologise.

@@odsfootball mate I’m a scouser, when have we ever said ass?? It’s arse you know it is and you’ve seen yours because if your letting your little boy/girl speak like that then your clearly part of the problem not the solution, you on here to set an example dude, we all do things wrong but there is not justification in plain old ignorance, I know so many young boys watch videos like this and then think it’s clever to go round swearing their heads off. So how can a channel providing a public service to all generations justify swearing on their platform?? Your a role model buddy please do everyone watching a favour and swerve the swearing lad for the sake of our younger generation

I rarely ever swear on my videos, so I am sorry mate if one of your kids heard it. If you cycle through my videos, you won't hear me swearing. I'll make sure to cut it out in the future.

Don’t watch it then..

@@odsfootballCan’t believe it. Was my favourite football analytic. Guess it’s back to watching Lewis Boden and his spectacular takes

Thankyou Ollie, I really appreciate that mate! I think Kudus/Olise are excellent shouts, Kudus in particular seems like the perfect long term Salah Replacement. As much as I'd love Olise, I can see him definitely going to either Manchester Clubs / Chelsea. As much as I'd like Gakpo as the 10, he is more likely ti interchange between Diaz and have Dom play there. Excited either way! Thanks for the comment.

I think it’s only a matter of time before Nunez improves, although it’s a big problem, the only problem he actually has is his end product. If he can improve on that even slightly, he’ll become a top player under Slot.

Nunez has other problems too. He doesn't use the ball well. A world class striker is not so wasteful or clueless with the ball at feet, constantly giving it away n making poor technical decisions on d pitch

Yeah, I agree

The one criticism Trent has continuously had is his ability to defend, and this system will take a lot of the responsibility away from him. Teams have focused on playing down the left hand side to isolate him, but it’ll be a lot harder now - so we’ll definitely see him play there!

@@odsfootball it’s just such as waste to remove him from the build up. Hopefully this means Liverpool sign very adept passers to play centre back to make up for this.

@@carterB14C I think he’ll tweak his system to get Trent more involved with the initial build up. With Van Dijk CCB, and a new LCB (Probably), I think we’ll be more than fine.

Thanks Josh, much love x

Slightly yeah. I don’t think we need to sign a new right-back now, but still undecided about TAA’s transition into midfield. We’ll have to wait and see what manager we get, and I might revisit it further down the line.

Ben Doak RWB is such a rogue shout, but i Like it!

tbf the role of a defender has completely changed. You'd typically stick your shittest player LB/RB depending on what foot they were, but now that roles evolved to a point where you need to be good at everything.

That's the dream!

?

Definitely could be coached into a similar sort of role. He might not have that natural burst of acceleration and agility Frimpong has but he looks so well-rounded. Regardless of what coach comes in, I’m sure Bradley is going to mature into a fantastic squad player.

Yeah course, I understand that. Alonso to Liverpool is only a hypothetical at the moment anyway, so I thought it'd be more valuable to talk about what ne has to work with as apposed to speculating about potential adjustments.

Its Liverpool adjust to Xabis way of football

@@castropassion667 he’ll create a system that suits Liverpool’s strongest players. That’s what the greatest managers do. Liverpool have better players than leverkusen do, so that’ll be the deciding factor as to what system and style of football his Liverpool team will play.

Thankyou brother, I try my best!

Thank you mate! I really like Nuno, he's got that raw pace and explosiveness Frimpong has with the ability to beat his man. Nuno is alot more defensively minded than Frimpong though, and although he can operate in those advanced zones it would take some coaching. I think for the price Nuno would cost, Liverpool would be better off trying to sign either Frimpong himself/ or a player that's more like-for-like. Thanks for commenting!

Good shouts, I really do like the idea of Lucho playing as that LWB. Quansah is really talented but I don't think i could trust him at LCB. The fact he isn't very experienced and right-footed makes me think he'd be better suited to occasionally rotate with Ibou.

YNWA!

Yeah I don’t think they’re half bad shouts at all. Exciting to see what happens

Klopp's era had to unfortunately come to an end at some point so why not end on a positive. Like you said there's plenty of players to fill those positions not nailed on so it'll only improve us. I don't think Klopp will be the only massive name at liverpool to leave within the next year / 18 months, so there's going to be alot of emotion but alot of excitement too. YNWA

He only signed a contract extension in August to keep him there til the summer of 2026. Apparently he's got a release clause that Liverpool / Real Madrid and Bayern can trigger, so I'm assuming he's not out of reach.

It’s literally up to Alonso if he wants to leave or not - there’s no barrier if it’s for the above mentioned clubs

Cheers lad! Yeah I think I'd cry if we don't get him!

Thanks man! Glad you liked it.

Haha I appreciate that more than you could know mate. I'm just at the beginning of my journey, we'll get there one day!

Thankyou mate! One can hope ay

Thankyou for the lovely words mate, I appreciate it so much! Yeah you're right, I was assuming Klopp was leaving at the end of his contract but definitely not like this. I think Wirtz would be an unreal bit of business, But I don't think he'd be obtainable. If he was to come to Liverpool, Hincapie/Frimpong would be the perfect signings I think. If we signied Frimpong, I'd probably still play him on the right. TAA would thrive on that left hand side, it would allow him to have more time on the ball, and more space to operate, so it would be interesting to see what happens.

as a liverpool fans as well. if xabi came in trent would play midfield and bradley would play the right wing back! if we did bring in frimpong, him and bradley would dominate!

Frimpong is good in that role because not only is he quick, he has the technical ability to beat his man down the wing or on the inside, whereas Trent can’t do either. I suggested Trent in Grimaldo’s role because he has more of that variation between drifting into the half space and dropping deeper.
