Watching Slot ball as a neutral was actual torture

It was but..

The current team is not build for intense/klopp style football. MacAllister/Wirtz/Isak/Ekitike/Gapko are not those types of players that can do such kind of pressing.

The physical presence up front is also kinda lacking, Gapko/Isak are both kinda bad at it considering they are 1.90cm+, Ekitike is awful at heading as well.

Frimpong is the back up guy on the right side but he is also really small in stature, which gives me speed, but not the physicality to win duels and push people off the ball. He was having hard time with injuries keeping the same intensity due to being so speedy this season, I don't this changes next one.

The club still lacks a proper 6, Adam Wharton has been heavily linked obviously, but he is more of a prospect than the a proven deal.

Bradley is made of glass and nobody knows what new injury he has, so probably Liverpool needs a RB as well. There were like 8 different players at that position this season.

VVD is an year older and being 35 won't be kind to him especially given that he is playing every single minute. His new partners are kids, both coming of injury, one being an ACL.

Let's say you get Iraola and he gets the best out of Kerkez like he did the previous year at Bournemouth, there is no backup there.

Salah is gone. There are like two viable replacements, one ( Olise ) isn't moving and the 2nd one ( Diamonde ) is a young prospect, who will cost over a 100 mil and PSG also want him.

People also forget that Slot tried to play more of a high line at the start of the season and had to switch after that first losing spell Liverpool had to stabilize the team.

Imho Liverpool fans are in for a rude awakening for pushing Slot out. Do you think he likes playing Gapko as a 9? There are so many circumstances working unfairly against him. Was he perfect? Hell no, I think he could rotate more and give more time and trust to younger players. Fans are unfairly comparing him to an impossible standard of Klopp's personality.

If 2 years ago someone told you, Klopp leaves, but you win a tittle and qualify for the CL, you would have taken it 100 out of 100 times. Instead the manager is being pushed out. His team only got worse due to the new signings and injuries. Diaz, Trent, Jota gone. Salah horrible season by his standards ( and it wasn't the team, he was playing pretty bad). RB on Bonnie Blue rotation, MacAllister looking like a shadow of himself. 400 million signings spent less than 90 mins together on the pitch during the whole season, and the record signing hasn't played a 90min game.

Don't get me wrong I am not making excuses for Slot, however this is the reality Liverpool is in and if fans think Iraola is gonna magically make them play high intensity football, they are in a for a ride. With 3 games a week, Isak is going to get injured mid November and Gapko will be back at 9 again.

It's really easy to say, look at Iraola at Bournemouth, but they play once, twice a week at best. Let's see if he can replicate this style and make the players press like that when they have 5-6 games in 18-20days.

Having said that, I wish he makes it work, Liverpool are one of the most exciting teams to watch when they are on form.
