Maybe so, maybe not. We've seen plenty of people come into the jobs and make their teams look really undercooked in the prem, and not just foreign coaches though.
oh i'm not saying he is great or anything i just don't get why you are twitchy just because he worked in Holland
I was kind of hoping this lot would just maybe be going and trying to go headhunt some top talent and not just appoint all of slots mates. The next youth development coach for example will be interesting
Yes, it's better if he brings people he knows he can work with from the start, people who'll know how to implement his ideas. Difficult enough to get across your ideas to a set of new players without having to coach the coaches as well.
Leeds United owe other clubs £190m in transfer fee instalments on player purchases, £73m of which is due by June 30th 2024, but are only due to receive £2m on player sales please log in to view this image Leeds are actually falling apart. Looks like not winning the play off final could have major repercussions.
If you look on the LFC website you'll see the vacancies regarding the first team: Physiotherapist, Physical Performance Coach - Strength and Conditioning Lead, Set Piece Coach. So it won't be all Slot's picks, in fact the way we seem to be setting up now, Slot won't have the same free rein that Klopp had. They've built that into his job description. I think we're seeing two extremes in opinion here. One being concern because the new lad, Peeters, has only worked in Holland and two being, he knows how the human body works and that doesn't differ (paraphrased). I've already said that I'm sceptical about Slot's appointment. I will back him and wait and see just how good he can be. It follows that I'm also concerned about the rest of the staff coming in whether they are his choice or the choice of Edwards and Hughes. I'm not as concerned as you appear to be but I do see your point. The PL is the most intense league and on top of that, Klopp's teams are known for intensity being a trademark. While Peeters may well know his job, he's never had to factor in the intensity required and while Solid says physiology is physiology and differing intensity doesn't matter, I disagree. I think that in the same way players coming into the league aren't expecting the huge leap in intensity, the fitness and sports science bods coming into the league won't be expecting it either.
That said, the number of soft tissue injuries last season was very high. Two games per week on average but I accept some Thursday games followed by Saturday mornings for us but I questioned the training methods last season. I hope it is better next season
That's almost exactly what I was saying. It's Klopp's team until it isn't Klopp's team. Him leaving doesn't alter the fact. They are trained in his ways and were hand picked for not only the individual skills they bring, (we all know what a Klopp player is), but to be part of the intensity machine, if you like. Saying that that "won't make any difference" to the new people coming in who have to maintain the high functioning level, at the very least, is down playing the effort put in to get it there in the first place.
All I'm saying is it's a big step up and he's a lot of work to do to understand the targets he has to reach with the players. If he does that well we will run for 90. If he doesn't or he's got people playing computer games over fitness then we are likely to look ****. Klopp turned off the computer fitness stuff as there was the same injuries but players constantly being pulled out to rest and our running dropped. If that's brought back then it will be interesting to see if the muscular injuries we had a lot of drop off or not.
From what I’ve read slot is more a guardiola and about control than film throttle so although they press it’s not quite as dramatic. Although who knows if he’ll do the same at lfc etc. it’s all ifs and buts until he’s got everyone in place. Might look at the squad during pre season and think they’re suited to diff style etc
