As the days continue to get more enjoyable, I'm just getting some free time. I'm glad that the recent league win has once again restored previous form/Mentality, even though a second Premier League crown is basically out of the question this season, considering the first cycle. 'The Great Vengeance' and Klopp fully deserves a drenching finish, as long as it can be kept up until the end, which is kind of the explanation.
"Talking about staff retention for the coming season."
As for the suitability of coach Slot for the new season, or the past tactical systems, soccer philosophies and other relevant information, there should be enough for you to refer to, but I tend to wait until the start of the season (or the warm-ups) to have enough basis for discussion. After all, Slot's arrival and Klopp's takeover are two completely different conditioned environments. Slot is probably closer to how to continue more effectively, and even closer to a good foundation left by Klopp's further development, than how Klopp built his system.
Whether it's the start, the main rotation, or the youth training system, it's pretty much on track and the most natural discussion is who will stay and who will go. Aside from Matip, I myself feel that, Thiago is full up and fighting fitness is questionable (age + injuries). Apart from the basic certainty that they will leave, the overall body structure is expected to change very little, probably depends on where to strengthen in the summer (center back). + Personally, I think midfield is the key strengthening position).
However, we can talk a little bit about the rotation setup in the frontcourt, one being the recent dynamics of the nunez and the other being Salah's problems. The former has all sorts of Big It's not easy for the Chances to lose the internet violence, and now Bigces Compared to Haaaland, the ChancesMissed only 5 times, but there's a 14 goal difference in actual goals scored. Can understand the fans' emotions (but definitely don't agree with their behavior), after all, these lost Big Even with more 25% in the Chances, maybe a second Premier League crown in the Klopp era is still in the cards.
That said, I personally think it's too early to recognize compensation. Firstly, there isn't a huge supply of good strikers on the market per se (the situation is actually somewhat similar when compared to Chelsea's Jackson). Furthermore, we are not going down the business route of investing a lot of money in them so few alternatives are available in exchange; and secondly, apart from one foot, Nunez's value in other links should be clearly seen by the fans as either very fresh or very fresh.
As such, I'm inclined to give it another year and with a new official in place maybe the wind and water have turned a bit along the way. However, if you're asking me if I can't see a future for Nunez at Liverpool, to be honest, I personally think it's 50/50. on a positive note, Nunez's talent really is of such high quality that people drool over it. It belongs in that rivalry. Even if they know you can't walk to the door, as soon as they see you on the field, they still worry. Suffice it to say, Nunez really just walks to the door now (better grasp of the ability, I don't care how many times you're offside)
The more negative half is mostly skeptical of Nunez's personality/thought maturity. From DECISION MAKING on the field, in the face of adversity, and from some personally observed behavioral patterns (including some interactions with teammates/Klopp) to some off the field, Nunez is relatively inferior in temperament and gravitas to the new recruits that have been added in recent years. It's not even an exaggeration to say that Nunez is the least mature of all the new additions in the Klopp era.
Because he is also a sports coach and has a team to coach, he has a deep understanding of the importance of a player's personality/mental maturity in the operation of the team or in real life, but this is the area over which the coach has the least control (after all, you can't really 'force' a person to grow only by the person's heartfelt realization), and this is especially true in the adult stage, where many of the values are relatively stereotypical, which will deepen this difficulty of making a breakthrough. But it is always possible for people to change, so give it at least another year, I personally think it's a better decision.
Then there is the part of Salah. The Egyptian king's high self-esteem is well known. Especially since Klopp's sideline gags were at one point boiling over a while ago, not of the efficient type + It's unclear how Slot will use this legend, as age brings irreversible degradation. However, if Salah is willing to accept a role of lesser importance, then staying is certainly not a big deal. But for now, it seems like the big brother should still be eager to play an important role in the coming year. Personally, I see such a Salah as the most replaceable under the frontcourt rotation.
In fact, Salah is still paying good numbers this season. Goals + assists could be fourth in the league. These two stats rank first in the team. Behind those numbers, however, is a report card rewarded by a system constructed by Klopp to cover up weaknesses in his defensive output. Even to enable Salah to maximize his last transmission/shot, while at the same time so 'sacrificing' to utilize the potential of other teammates to tap into space (I personally think Szobo is the most impactful). Therefore, with Salah being another year older in the coming year, if he still wants to be the Salah of the team, the '#1 guy' versus the nunez who is being called out by the fans, I personally think Salah's stay will pose a bigger problem.
"Talking about what to watch for in the coming season."
Firstly, putting aside how Slot will build Liverpool in the post-Klopp era, there are a couple of parts that are key personal observations for the new season. Firstly, TAA and Mac are currently the two players with the best vision in the squad. How can we better coexist them and maximize their passing vision?TAA has the better long passes while Mac has the better short penetration. A very exciting combination on the card should be able to theoretically deliver a more imaginative performance than this season.
Second, can Szobo's offensive talent be tapped further. As mentioned earlier, in order to get Salah to put more effort into that last pass/shot, Szobo took on a lot of the running game while being a right 8 most of the time. On offense, Salah needs to be constantly thrusting forward and running in order to pull him to the flanks after Half In order to fill the large number of counter-attacking gaps left by the two attacking cores of Salah/TAA, Space leaves space and time for the defense to be constantly recovered.
Even so, Szobo could still be fourth on the team in expected assists (per90) and fourth in key passes (per90.) Shot- Creating Action (per90) is fifth on the team, with only TAA and Salah able to outperform him in all three of those stats.
In all the matches with Szobo live this season, every time I watched the games I felt deeply that the Hungarian boys were a bit wasted being used in this way. However, considering the team has a clear operating system at the moment, it hasn't bounced back too much, but with the new era, there could be a surprise in store for the season.
The final point (so much for now) is whether Diaz can break out of his Klopp-era pattern of only being able to blast solo down the left corridor (or worse, it's known as lone wolfing). While Diaz can clearly be seen as being slated to walk in the middle (closer to a midfielder) in the second half of the season, Diaz's skill set and on-pitch min/habits seem to be better suited for long stretches on the flanks.
Well, I accidentally wrote it a lot of times. If I haven't written anything in a while, I can't help myself. If you have any comments, please leave a comment and discuss. There should be plenty to write and discuss for the new season (but if you have time, you're not sure lol).
