Echo TK is going to be out for most of the rest of this year, isn't he?
We've seen how Wirz has struggled to adapt where many were expecting him to come in and light up the Premier League.
Lots of money spent last summer and
those signings not really delivering.
So do you have sympathy with slot as he goes out or do you feel that he just didn't come up with the solutions to the many problems that he did face?
Well, some of that criticism, Vinny, was coming from his star player, Mo Salah, who was such a hero of that title winning season.
Obviously a big drop off in his own individual performances, but he was uh quite vocal at different points through the season about how he felt the team was performing and how it should have been playing.
And towards the end of the season talking about the return to heavy metal football, which was uh we didn't need to join join too many dots to think he was talking about Jogan Klopp and how he preferred football under Jogin Klopp compared to
Arnor Slot.
Uh interesting I thought as well some of the people liking that post on Instagram, plenty of the rest of the squad.
So when you're around the training ground and um speaking to these players, did you get a sense that they were l hoping for a change this summer away from Arna Slot as well?
Wants to show out there.
Yeah, but Mark, this is a snapshot, isn't it, of what we were talking about earlier about the step up from Bournemouth to Liverpool, where you're managing players with huge talent but huge egos, players who cost hundreds of millions of pounds in the case of Alexander Isaac, for instance, and Florian Wirtz.
This is the extra level and the extra um difficulty, I guess, that Ireland is going to face at Liverpool, which maybe he hasn't experienced at Bournemouth, which he hasn't experienced at Rayo Vallic.
Carno, for instance.
But Liverpool fans I guess will be encouraged when you look at him losing three of his four defenders last summer and still producing the performances they did, in turning Junior Krupi and Ryan into two of the most exciting teenage talents in the league.
So whatever his approach is, it seems to be working.
difference.
Yeah, so Dan, when you were hearing that and the the the question marks that are there, obviously all the encouraging signs, but that sort of vague grey area that we're still not sure about and we're excited and interested to see how it will play out.
I was at the FA Cup final when Chelsea, having l just lost to Man City, announced Jabi Alonso as their new manager and he was going to come in and overhaul the complete culture of the club.
