How good is João Neves? Be nice to hear your say on him!.
How about Bruno G??
It's Slot not Slut!
There's a reason bajectic is being protected cause he's claimed as the busquets / rodri school of cdm from spain since celta vigo days . Willian pacho , bakayoko and a lb are lfc priority signings so future is veryy bright for slot and lfc .thanks for the video lad .
Bajectic could be the Wieffer of this side if all goes to plan.
@@PythagorasinBoots There is Morton coming back too
It’s where we need strengthening the most in my opinion. Maybe Bajcetic one day. But he’s not ready yet.
This seems like the reasonable opinion
It depends on him. Busquets and rodri were molded by their managers.
Finally manager analysis this is what I've dreamed of from pythag in boots
Happy to serve.
Hi Pythagoras in Boots, as a Feyenoord fan this is the best analysis i have seen about Slot’s Feyenoord so far. You clearly did great research. Also very realistic on the threats on the counters as that’s been an issue at Feyenoord sometimes. However, I wanted to point out you used the wrong logo for Feyenoord when showing the stats. This one says “Sportclub Feyenoord” which is the logo of Feyenoords amateur side. The correct one says “Feyenoord Rotterdam” (I know there is always something to moan about sorry hahah). Loved the analysis, keep up the good work! I am curious what will happen with him at the wheel in Liverpool and hope he will win you guys some trophies. Kind regards, a Feyenoord fan 😊
Really appreciate your kind words! And wow did not know that about the logo… you Iearn something new everyday. Good luck for next season!
@@PythagorasinBoots Thank you my friend!
You’ll have him back in a year, dogshit coach!
Love the Trent at LB suggestion, opens up the whole pitch for his passing and even his shooting. Could see him and MacAllister balance each other out. Gakpo at striker feels natural for a manager prioritizing fluidity. A 6'4 tall forward, good ball carrier, decent in tight spaces, good speed and more than able to drift to the flanks and put in a cross. Same fluidity as a forward which made him seem lackluster as a central option in parts of this season compared to a very energetic Darwin in this high-pace and direct system, will now be instead a major strength.
Yeah I'd like to see him and Bradley in the same team, see how it goes before splashing on left back.
Seems very awkward to have him defending on the left. He struggles on the right!
He’ll be targeted every game by opposing teams if he played there.
@@LFCliidHe doesn't struggle that often. If you actually watch him live he constantly makes tackles, interceptions and contains forwards throughout matches.
@@LFCliidI personally think with the amount of inverted wingers these days defending wise it suits more of a right footer playing left back than a natural left footer.
@@LFCliid His main problem is showing all those right-footed left wingers the inside and living with the constant fear of them getting that dangerous angle. If at LB he'd mostly face left footed players dribbling towards his stronger side making it easier for Trent.
Really hope Fabio Carvalho gets a fresh start with us.
Speaking of desire to have an intelligent player up top, Diogo Jota - if he can stay injury-free - might be a key player. Obviously, Cody Gakpo will likely be favoured looking to the future, but Diogo might be the best go-to next season, with Cody and Luis Diaz sharing LW.
Be interesting to see what Arne Slot makes of Darwin Nunez.. maybe Arne will be the one to really crack the code with Darwin, get him being less chaotic and more consistent.
If Klopp couldn't get any worthwhile honours with this squad a manager of Slots calibre has no chance
@@SigmundAnschutzbrain dead take
@@DJW2 a take? WTF is a take you retard?
@DJW2 retard away fan Sheep 🐑
That the best you can do?
@@SigmundAnschutzI’m a Liverpool fan totally agree
I don’t see many wholesale changes in Slot’s first year so it’s whether the players (Nunez, Diaz, Gakpo, etc) kick on under him. In Europe, there are question marks but getting Feyenoord to the Conference League Final was pretty impressive. He wouldn’t the power Klopp had but can he give get close to what Klopp replicated? Time will tell. I like him, he wants the job and I hope he becomes a success
Don't want Nunez or Diaz the stuff they're doing atm, I swear we're always a leapfrog for south Americans just to leave us once they're either at their peak or just before it, rarely do we keep south Americans. Lucas Leiva was a good servant mind you. But I hear Darwin's trying Barca and Diaz PSG. 🤦♂️
South Americans will always love the Spanish teams because it’s closer culturally. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t buy them. There is no chance we sell them cheap anyway. Both players have the potential to do well under slot so let’s what happens.
@@Tomtomjameson There is nothing credible about any of those Barcelona and PSG links when it comes to Nunez, and it's ridiculous that you're giving any credence to them.
@@steelydanlover1972 nunez no but PSG are interested in Diaz same with bayern and van dik as well as real Madrid and trent
@@steelydanlover1972😂🤦♂️ Mate don't come on CZcams comment sections and act like your some insider with factual information, about nothing credible, I didn't say there was, and you don't know that for sure anyway 🤣
Have been waiting for u all day long for this, what i have learnt off u is so much
Glad to hear it!
This is a great video! So in-depth, knowledgeable and analyzed. Love the comparisons too. Edits on point, narration on point. Wow. Great job, narrator and editor.
Much appreciated!
Great in depth analysis - thank you! The only issue I have is anywhere anyone has Trent as a full back: he's seemingly just given up on it. Hopefully Arne can relight the fire!!
The video I was waiting for 👌🏼
Hope you enjoyed it
Most in depth analysis from the most competent individual on YT yet again! 👏
Agree with absolutely everything you said but inevitably Slotts biggest challenge will not be tactics but how he deals with managing a club of Liverpools stature and the pressure which comes with it!
The video fails to mention Alisson when mentioning their second best defensive records despite best XG against. This was due to a weak individual player rather than a systematic issue. Imagine how much Allison will improve this aspect having consistently been one of the best to prevent high XG.
Also noticed a lot of people mentioning his styles susceptibility to counter attacks.
(Your take was perfect although brief)
All valid points but we're also forgetting Konate and VVD profiles are unlike any seen in world football. They're the best at Shepherding the high line and can eat up yards for fun!
This will be the key defrenciator in Slotts feyenoord to slots Liverpool. Those giants at the back will be mopping everything up and allowing Slott to be more flexible and take even more risk with his set up. Its a luxury very few managers are afforded in world football.
Ultimately,i think signing the right no6 will be pivotal in determining if this side can take the next step and win a Major honor again.Otherwise lfc will continue to limit themselves and fall short..
You think Liverpool are winning a major trophy again with a second rate manager, past it players salah, Robertson, van djik) and garbage like Nunez who had missed over 36 big chances while being under the ownership of complete filthy parasites who’s average net spend is 36 mil 🤡
I will give him a chance to show what his new team can do
so kind of you
great video man!
Appreciate it!
Such a good video. Im a huge Feyenoord fan and am absolutely gutted that Arne Slot is leaving. Your analysis on his tactics are spot on. Maybe one thing to add is the pressure from the 10 and the front three. Really interesting how they switch between pressing with 3 or 4 man, forcing the opponent to make fast decisions in an overload situation. Curious if he does that with Liverpool as well, as it also risky against the better teams.
Great video, would love to see more about Feyenoord :)
You’ll have him back soon, he’s fucking mediocre like every other garbage manager in your league
Trent could be a decent option in the centre, although he'd probably have to work on his ability on the turn. I think you want to have Trent occupying the right half space (allows for his crossing ability to flourish and also lets him involve himself more) which seems to be where the CM find themselves. Flipping Slot's Feyenoord dynamics also suits Bradley and Salah really well.
Diaz has also shown to be able to play more wide this season. I think flipping the right and left sides of his tactics would make a lot of sense, even down to having Szoboszlai play more to the left as a 10 since he prefers coming off of that side
Diaz is not good enough for a title winning side in the prem
Your channel is growing kudos
Great Analysis. You should make more tactical vids
Brilliant video
good analysis of the most beautiful club in the world.
Thanks bud
I agree with that too. Some players have become quite lacksidaisical of late. The amount of goals we have leaked this season, is utterly ridiculous.
On paper Arne Slot is exactly what was needed from ETH. Will be interesting to see Slots transition into the EPL
The best thing about slot is being able to speak out his plan clearly to his players. Everyone knows what to do, even substitutes. Also they trust in him.
was kinda shocked when u suggested trent lb i thought i was crazy for doing it in fm great vid aswell
It was something I had been thinking about for England with the dearth of left back options and then when I researched Feyenoord, I realised he did it with Geertruida after Hartman's injury. Could save you guys funds from buying a new LB and allow Bradley and TAA to co-exist.
@@PythagorasinBootswe don't really need a new lb in the short term, and Owen Beck is very highly regarded with the future in mind.
@@PythagorasinBoots exactly why I done it to let them both co-exist where they are most dangerous
Great video 👌
Thanks 👍
can you please make a video on the Leverkusen"s unbeaten side please? They seem to have the better plot armor than anime characters.
As you mentionned, I feel like Bradley's capacity to overlap is what makes him a very exciting RB, but on the other side for me Robertson is still one of the best left backs in the PL (when he is not used as a LCB). I would start Trent as a double pivot with Mac Allister like he used to play for Brighton and balance each other out. Salah and Elliott being inverted right wingers can match really well, considering that the left winger has to be the one who goes high with the striker creating that 2-2-4-2, perfect role for Cody Gakpo or Anthony Gordon as he is recently mentionned in Liverpool. Thank you for this great video !
I think Trent and Mac would be way too defensively lapse in central areas as a pairing IMO.
@@PythagorasinBoots yeah , we just witnessed it yesterday . An endo figure is required always
Great video can you make a video of Olise, I think he is a player to look out for this summer
Signing for ManYoo 60m
Just to be clear ,there are Dutch men with hair.
We don't believe it!
You’ll tell us anything
Is a mix of everything, I hope he doesn’t burn out players
Would love a video on Van de ven Or porro😇
I've so missed your videos 😅
More to come!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Could you please do analysis for Teun Koopmeiners. He's a reported Liverpool target and an Arne Slot player.
If he's worked with Pep, I expect him to be able to adapt his tactics with the players he has. I would like to also add that the forward line is not a need of change. A DM should be his first priority.
This is just a 'pool fan left field idea.
I would suggest a 3 1 3 3 shape. Bradley replaces TAA so its Bradley, Virgil and Konate. Then TAA goes in behind Edno, Macca and Szoboszlai / Gravenburch and TAA can just romp around. We have enough up front to put 3 forwards out so I'd go Lucho, Jota/Nunez/Gakpo and Salah. The Nunez option is if Slot can improve him. We can't afford another 20 hits on the goal frame next season.
I’d like to see Nunez play on the wing, think his passing in to the box is very underrated. If Salah is moving on, and I don’t want him to, then Nunez is a good replacement as Salah right now doesn’t tend to pass, he likes that cut in and shoot run he does, and sadly he’s not been as accurate this season.
The best CB pairing alongside VVD. Injuries aside, he was really a solid CB. He was calm and had leadership qualities. The red army will always remember you Joel. You'll never walk alone.
I suggest you do Xavi Simons, or Florian Wirtz next. Also, good content !
Both on my list to do
Slot’s losses to Roma can partly be explained by the difference in quality of players imo. Thought his side despite lacking quality competed really well with Athletico Madrid and Roma on a tactical level. Let down by players that are substandard though.
I think that’s a fair assessment but what I would say is that the great managers find a way of breaking that barrier and Slot still hasn’t proven he can overcome that psychological hurdle in Europe when odds are against him. Klopp on other hand did so with Dortmund.
Unfortunately he will find that the Liverpool players are not much better
@@PythagorasinBoots Klopp has done it with Liverpool as well. In fact he does it to a fault. Most of Liverpool players are average at best, only the Klopp effect has disguised this fact to such a level they only got exposed in the CL finals against RM.
@@damiengates7581Liverpool were the better team in that final though in every metric bar finishing. Courtious had the game of his life.
@@PythagorasinBootsBut klopp also lost to Bayern in an European final
Can you make a video speaking about signings prem teams need to make next to challenge for the title? I remember seeing one of your tweets speak about Arsenal needing a player like Frimpong and leao to play against low blocks
Sure I will do this.
@@PythagorasinBoots appreciate the response, looking forward to seeing it!!!
thx great analysis! could you plz do a video on the best la liga goalscorer Dovbyk? or due to la liga rules you won't cover their players anymore?
I will try to do it!
While Bradley did a wonderful job in TAA's stead, It's clear that he was an unknown when he arrived. Now teams are developing a book on him. He's still going to develop into a really good player, but I think TAA is on another level.
Make a video on nico williams and mats wieffer 🙏🙏🙏
Don't think Slot is the worry, more the major changes in the coaching team. Watching LFC training and comparing it to training at other prem teams it's been a different level, especially in the intensity and attention to detail. If this changes it will affect achievement
Bozs to Chelsea … thoughts ?? I hear he shapes his ideas around the players individually ability/preferences
He's a proper extremist... which can be fun to watch but not sure if can meet the expectations of club like Chelsea.
Good video
Thanks for the visit
You should look at the role Quinten Timber is playing at Feyenoord. McAllister would fit in perfectly. Endo is like Wieffer, but Wieffer’s passing is much better
Timber is so versatile. Enjoyed watching him. Agree with this comment.
What about bakayoko, won't he be a very good option for RW and Salah can play as striker if he stays. We might as well swap gakpo with joao felix with atleti i think(can play LW/CAM. This makes us compete instantly
Do you see Diaz playing the rw role? He is a good ball carrier and not needing the overlap but not the type of inverted winger you mentioned (Olise, Sane)
Personally i don't. I think his dribbling style better suited from left but I think he could do a decent shift from right.
Great video, can we get one on Karim Adeyemi?
I’ll add to the list
Please do a video on Mats Weiffer
Would like onana from Everton tbf
yes
You kept bringing up Peter Bosz, can you do a video on him? im really curious about him now
Sure when he’s on the move
please do one on de zerbi
I Believe in moveing.the forward with short pass has well yse long pass you dont get any where with short pass I good work rate you win game or Runners you need to mix it movement with good pass
Hey bro could you do a video on a player of this generation comparing to other past players like jorginho and Even Sergio Ramos. I would really like to know how they would compare to th legends of old
Sure will do.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Quinten Timber. He's vital in the aggressive press play and progressive carrying.
Who will fill that role at Liverpool?
Szobo?
Not sure if this was a mistake or if I've just misunderstood what you were saying but when mentioning about what an Arne Slot Liverpool 11 could look like, you've put both Conor Bradley and Trent in the back 4 and then you had no mention of Robbo or Owen Beck at left back?
Yeah, Trent LB inverting
@@ADonovan275 Ah okay, that'd make sense then, cheers mate
Could you do a video on Estévão or Kendry Paez
Doing them both
@@PythagorasinBoots thank you really enjoy your content mate!
Still struggling to see much, if at all, differences between current liverpool tactics and slots tactics. It's almost a perfect blueprint. Whether thats good or not, only time will tell. But Liverpools main issue is the vast amount of missed shots, the conversion rate of the players is apalling, and that wont change just because of a new manager.
Yup it is pretty similar. Only difference is more technical build up through 6, more orthodox CF play, less switching of play and long ball used
Hmm I’ve seen some analysis videos that compare Slot’s teams on the ball to Pep. Seems to be a lot of mixed analysis from what I’m seeing. First time I see anyone comparing him to Ange.
I think the Pep stuff is lazy analysis. He’s more nuanced than that.
@@PythagorasinBoots Do you see the vision the brilliant Edwards and co have in Slot? The back room staff Liverpool have recruited are top class.
Please we Barça fans need your analysis on Xavi Simmons 😭🙏🏽
I’ll add him to the list
I your opinion, who should the next Chelsea coach. It seems they just sacked Poch.
Estêvão Willian aka Messinho. Kids plays more like Neymar. He looks like a true generational talent. Heavily linked to Chelsea. Would love to hear your opinions about dude.
Annnnddd great video btw. Appreciated the report card towards the end. Let's see how long it'll take for Slot to implement his philosophy of play at Liverpool. Looks like a good manager.
Doing him fairly soon!
@@PythagorasinBoots sounds good my boy.
Yamal is way better than that Brazilian league merchant
@@kangtheconqueror2540 your comment says more about you than it does about the player.
Anger, hate, spite, overall traits of the depraved and insecure. Spreading negativity for negativity sake… sad human being you are.
Arne is a Slot Machine and Liverpool have hit the Jackpot
If you were Michael Edwards this summer looking to buy players to fit into a Slot system, are there any specific players you'd be desperate to get in?
The main area I would target is the 6 region, winger and possibly left back (if Trent isn't used there).
@@PythagorasinBootsso you insist that the LB should be more defensive right? to balance the attack and defense. to Anticipate counter attack also which Liverpool is struggling this season. so the LB must be someone whose can play cb and LB and shape to 3 cb when they get counter attacks, am i wrong?
Please make a video dovbyk or isak
If Liverpool struggle next season, imagine the tabloid headlines " Arnie Flopps"
Another problem with Trent is that he has the smallest lungs on the team. He loves getting forward when he can, but when he has to retreat to defense, he doesn't have the stamina to get back. He won't be as energetic as Geertruida. Bradley would be a better option at right back.
Salah at 9 and Elliot on the RW might hit like a crack
I also think salah shoul be a finisher. He is fast and strong enough to hold the ball. And if our cms become feeders momma hhiytt
I think he's a great manager, but like Ten Hag I suspect his tactics will have to change or it will take time to implement his system. It would be nearly impossible to succeed in the Prem with a back 2 given how many good transitional teams there are. Liverpool will require a sufficiently good controlling/defensive midfielder and very disciplined full backs to execute a system like this. United didn't have either this season due to injuries and we can see how that has sufficiently hindered their entire game.
Man United are just dogshit in general! Saying that this dogshit manager is going to be a huge failure regardless
does Jota fit into the striker role as well?
Imo no not as the starter long term
Make a video on Jeremie Frimpong and Michael olise
both on the list
Do Aaron Ramsdale
This is a good theory but let us wait and see if it t will be applicable not hearsay
Can you do Nico WIlliams video????
Coming fairly soon.
Liverpool should spend little more to get Erik ten Hag,which might be available at the end of the season
Can you do a lamine yamal video?
Already did, it got blocked by CZcams and is now on Patreon.
I've heard Liverpool want another striker. Do you think Liverpool will sign Gimenez from Feyernood? Does 1 +1=2?
No mention of jota in the side is strange
Kinda lost my interest when he failed to pronounce Arne correctly.
Jota is like Thiago can’t stay fit
His style is more like PEP rather KLOPP
Jota is perfect for that striker role if he stays healthy, you should have mentioned him
I don’t see him as the starting Slot CF. Perhaps as the left inside forward role
Diaz can do everything Nico can do and more without getting hurt.
Guy looks like Hank from breaking bad
Who do you think are top 4 managers in prem right now ?😊
Pep, Arteta, Klopp are the standout 3. I would then put Emery, Poch, Howe in the next tier.
@@PythagorasinBoots you don't rate De Zerbi?
I believe he hasn't worked in a top club till now and will be rated later and it's early for him ,same with ange postecoglou@@zyro6331
@@zyro6331 poch zebby aren't good
Just commenting on the losses to Roma. Feyenoord's entire yearly budget is a lot lower than AS Roma's annual budget deficit/losses. The draws were decided on some individual moments of brilliance from world champions like Dybala. Slot has been getting the most out of a group of football players that are performing well over theor original value (Wieffer was 500k from a Dutch second tier team for instance and is now a Dutch international)
We want tosin adarabioyo analysis
FSG mgmt would like to see Liverpool to challenge for 5th spot
can you do Brahim Diaz
Focusing on transfers at the moment
With open play making the opp team work more with Darwin Nunez and sàlah jora football about movement just playing weve been playing solid but good football away findimg yhr right space its to keep playing
Great video but maybe it’s just me the editing for the transistions is too much it’s making me dizzy
So you are telling me that Slot's first signing would be that RB?
Not necessarily if he sees Bradley or Trent as doing a similar role
My question is how slot counter team that play with low block
They flood the box and use two footed winger on one flank and overlap full back opposite flank
I’m sure VVD is going to get less game time next season(I sound crazy I know).
If an attacking team can win against teams which drop back,defend deep and counter then they will be ok in EPL
If you could buy one between nico willams and olise for Liverpool who would you choose?
Nico is less of a risk as he's less injury prone but Olise has better IQ.
"Nico Williams would be perfect for that role" - the player Liverpool sold to Forest?
Can’t believe you forgot Jota
I don't see Jota as a permanent starter type of player. Has patches of form.
