Why not, oh Farky one?
They're called Sporting Lisbon not Unsporting Lisbon I think we're good
I'll be honest and say that I haven't really got a preferred candidate to take over from Klopp bar the emotional attachment to Alonso but I am curious to know why so few seem to be keen on De Zerbi.
If this was twelve months ago I am guessing he would have been a lot hotter in the desirability stakes.
I assume Brighton's current campaign is the reason but considering the players he lost is he really doing that bad this season?

I fine with and used to being unliked

Do you not remember what happened last time we nearly won a quad?
The emotional high of one last charge for Klopp will surely bring a massive downer next season.
I dunno. A lot of those players involved in that have mostly been injured, or now gone. They've been replaced by younger players, or been out for a sizeable chunk of this season. And we've not gone to the last 2 games of the season. Fa cups already gone. Europa is easier than cl
Should be much less of a comedown next year. "New manager bounce" and all that

The Times reporting tonight that Bayern are going for De Zerbi.
good, not sure he'd be the right fit for us
Yeah, de Zerbi seems more in the Guardiola / Arteta control-freak style.
Amorim and his 343 feels more like a Conte-style grind.
Nagelsman rocking up on his skateboard would be hilarious.
Lijnders would at least be… intense.
His only relevant managerial experience tells us nothing. He went from a club that doesn't matter to one that matters a lot, but where he by design had little to no say, as far as I understand it. So far he is a footballer with a respected name that dutifully got the shot in a meaningless league for sportswashing purposes, followed by the other dutiful shot at his beloved club because they are circling the toilet. Frank Lampard could say the same. Steven Gerrard has more success.
I'm starting to think that it's going to be a someone who already has managed in the PL or is currently managing in the PL.
Seems like the safest option.
If we're looking at someone with a similar style, similar formation and similar tactics look no further than De Zerbi.
I've been somewhat critical about him, but considering the fact that they've lost some of their best players before this season and also lost a few to injuries, De Zerbi has done a great job. I saw an interview with Prince Boateng who was managed by De Zerbi at I believe Sassuolo and he was talking about how great of a motivator he is and that he'd basically run through a brick wall for him.
If you can motivate Boateng, you can motivate anyone.
Yes, Brighton didn't look that great against us a few days ago, but that's mainly due to the huge difference in player quality. The fact that we played at Anfield should play a part too.

Zzzzz. You mean the following season when we had unprecedented injuries.
And we could look forward to at least one new book per season.
It’s still very hard to lift yourself again so soon.
Or Emery. Villa play very similar with 4 at the back, a high line and a high press. A little more defensive but that could be because they don't have the same quality of players as the Top 3 teams and it's a case of needs must.
They are just 5 pts behind City (played 1 game more)
Have scored just one goal less than City (5 less than us)
7th last season, 4th so far this with an unremarkable squad
So half of the team spent the season in physio and that on top of that Summer the players had very little rest (World Cup - and likely the reason for so many injuries), just 6 weeks holiday if I remember correctly and that with the continuing shite around Covid.
I like Emery, but I'm not sure how we're gonna pull it off. Would Villa just give up Emery?
Any opinions of Thomas Frank? Different playing style st Brentford, obviously, but personality-wise he is quite similar to Klopp - a father figure to the players and also someone who looks at the big picture of how to move the club forward as well as minute details on how to maximize effectiveness from throw-ins etc.
Literally zero history bar Brentford (we won't count Brondby where he was a relative failure in his first managerial appointment. He has always been a youth team manager. Might as well appoint Inglethorpe.
I dont think De Zerbi is a good fit for us, and I dont think I can handle watching us trying to be "creative" playing out from the back in every game. For all the good results he's getting at Brighton there are also games were they get absolutely humiliated. The lack of consistency is concerning. He also has this thing were he rotates goalkeepers which is weird.
They don't have the same resources we do, so I can excuse some of the results.
It's a team with Lallana, Milner and Welbeck up front.
That doesnt excuse getting stuffed 4-0 against Luton.
Yeah that was a bad one and probably the reason why I wasn't that positive towards him
Not enjoying DeZerbi's interview about his club and future. Apparently he was the same at his previous club? You signed a fucking contract with two years left to go dickhead, honor it. Or at least pretend to.
Never enjoyed Rafa speaking out against his clubs either.
What I've loved about Klopp has been his utter loyalty (in public) to both his employers, players and staff. I don't want any Conte-like characters coming in as the leader.
