If Carra don't like him, he will be world class.

FYI - all appointments are gambles. Look at all the big names who haven't lasted 2 seasons in the premier league. Everyone said Leverkusen was mental appointing Alonso.

From hendo to endo Now klopp to slot

Arteta was a gamble too. He did not manage any team until he took over Arsenal. He was just assistant to Pep. So gambling is ok as long he does not ruin what Jurgen has built.

Moving from klopp to anyone would always be a gamble. There’re good managers all over. People have to get a chance in order to be successful. That’s how it is in life. The boardroom structure of the club is very very good. They get a lot of things right. I have a positive feeling about this coach based on what’s been said. I’ll be watching a few Feynoord games to have a look at his setup

Honestly listening to these guys "So Called Experts" chatting absolute shite with their Negative mentalities is infuriating!!!!

Seen Slot at work at AZ abd Feyenoord. Wouldnt had mind him at Ajax over ten Hag even when TH was performing pretty well at Ajax. Hes a top coach and hes got an eye for transfers, tactically top and great communicator.

There are not the managers available like Klopp was when he was appointed. All new managers are gambles... FSG were mainly concerned about playing style and not having to massively change the team...

Who wouldn’t have been a gamble?

We the fans trust our club, ignore the haters and pundits

He's done it with second-rate players in a second-rate league, so you could hope with better players he could do it in a better league - that's why they use data

Carra like most of the LFC fanbase probably couldn't tell you who the manager of Feyenoord was a week ago, but now were supposed to act like he knows what he's talking about. Every appointment is a risk, look at Arsenal post-Wenger went with Emery a multi-timed european cup finalist and he flopped then look at United went with Moyes and van Gaal both established managers and failed. Every manager Liverpool would've appointed would be a gamble, even Xabi or Amorim or Jose or any manager in world football. Most managerial appointments are gambles and risks, whether you are Liverpool at the top end of the Premier League and one of the biggest clubs in world football or league 2 side or a non-league side. But hey common sense doesn't prevail

Any new manager is a gamble doesn’t matter what they’ve done in the past.

Well since Jamie still thinks that the best team isnt the one who raises the trophy, then maybe the best manager doesnt need to manage Liverpool

Im worried he is coming from a tinpot league but im still willing to give the guy a chance.

Nobody takes Carragher seriously

Jamie Carrager will say anything to get his ratings up.

Stepping outside in the morning is a gamble.Welcome to the most successful club in English football history Arne.

they are talking about slots winrate in the champions league but I dare you to watch the first game feyenoord played against atletico and lazio earlier in the season. If he can do that with 2nd rate players and injuries etc.then perhaps he deserves less critique on his winrate. He had to rebuild each season too.

Every manger and player is a gamble when they are signed

Nobody new about this Arne slot guy until Liverpool rumors started so definitely a gamble, Carragher finally with a decent take

People normally gamble on slots

Isn’t every new manager a “gamble”? Even “top 10” managers have failed as often as not.

What incoming manager wouldn’t be a gamble?

Arne Slot lol sounds like a gambling website

Big difference between Erdivise and the premier league as Ten Hag has found out

There isn't many top-top managers/coaches. Im thinking he will do well. 😊

Liverpool would you gamble with Erik ten hag over slot.

You praised Ten Hag he flopped, the fact you doubt him he is the right fit.

It seems what is not being realised is there's not many (available) top class managers OR managers with lots of domestic/European title winning credentials. Even Alonso (if he wanted to join Liverpool) is still inexperienced despite what he will win this year. So Liverpool have to go for the best fitting manager tactically and personality wise for what they want to achieve in the future. We are in a new generation of managers and we will need to wait a few years to see who are the next few to be top of the new managers.

Ivan Toney "What's that?! Sign me up Slot!"

Only Xabi and Jurgen have the ability to win the league and champions league under Liverpools financial restrictions. It takes a VERY special manager to win us the league against the moneybags.

Any manager is a gamble in reality. It will also be dependent on recruitment, so not just Slott. klopp was a calculated gamble and even he is/was highly dependent on good recruitment

Wed be gambling on anyone theres no other managers out there

All appointments are gambles, some just less so than others. Arne Slot clearly ticks a lot of the boxes Liverpool the club and city require, and is namely the pick of the returning now CEO and new Director. If there’s an elite premier league club that has the right structure and recruitment/processes, it’s Liverpool - that’s been proven the last 10+ years since FSG started to really implement their processes and goals from the top down. Arne Slot will have been examined deeply in multiple areas by the club but there is always an element of risk in recruitment and Liverpool will know that. My feeling is, they’ll be thinking if it doesn’t work out, who’s to say he’s going to be there for as long as Klopp was, they can simply move for the next ‘right man’ a few seasons down the line, even 1 season if it goes that badly and the likes of Alonso etc. are then back on the table truly looking to make the next step. I wish Slot all the best and hope it works out, but if it doesn’t, he’ll move somewhere else and Liverpool may be in a better position to secure their no.1 target in a year or two’s time. While Liverpool have a history of backing their managers and giving them time, they won’t say no to dropping a good one to get their true target when the time is right for all parties. Rogers wasn’t doing the worst job and Liverpool were slowly finally on the up under him and a new FSG model, but when their man, Klopp become available to join, even Liverpool dropped their manager mid-way through the season and get their man. I think we need to move away from Slot being the next 7-10 year Klopp, and accept that he may just be a place holder. I’m sure that’s not the case and Slot will be given all the backing and tools to succeed at Liverpool, but Liverpool will no doubt be keeping an eye on their other targets and make another move if needed. They haven’t built the club back to the top, (too manager, new state of the art training centre, serious stadium development, player recruitment development and in turn trophies etc.) to see it slip down again by pinning their hopes on the one JK successor.

You gamble on 90% of managers…given an equal playing field. Let’s get behind him.

Feyenoord010Rotterdam❤

Any manager we get after Klopp is a gamble just a fact.

Wow John Cross did you come up with all that on your own

I wonder who writes Jamie Carragher's 'excellent and eloquent' column for him.

remember last summer...CDM...show that we had....we lost "luck" ( said the boss) and we got endo...the same thing now...we never get our first target...shame....

It's a calculated gamble... Let's hope our data guys are spot on like they have been on many a occasion.

Any manager is a gamble. Instead of saying its a gamble how about you tell us which manager would not be a gamble

Using Carra's name for clickbait. He aint even in the video! Sly news.

Aku percaya Edward dia melakukannya dengan terbaik

Signing any new manager is a gamble. What's the difference here.

WOW..How did carragher work that one out and i can hear the crickets in his head from here?? Well of course it is every manager is a massive gamble..Lols

Who ever heard of Arsen Wenger when Arsenal appointed him? Became a roaring success so Slot deserves a go at the job. If you seen how his current team plays then you’ll understand

Let’s give him a chance and see what he can do.

Dam right a gamble cause amorim and alonso wouldn't take the risk handling the hot seat so thats why its a slot for reds

When you put cold palmer and Bez in a washing machine.. you get mark ogden...

The whole of life is a gamble , but we still have to keep that roulette wheel turning . Slot is now the man running the table , and he deserves to have a chance . Hopefully he can grow with the role , even if he doesn't match Jurgen Klopp's credentials ( and very few do ) .

I find it funny because in my country slot is meant gamble itself 😂

Every manager is a gamble

All managers are gambles. They bring new tactics, new ways of treating players, new psychology, new everything. And it all has to work. It's not rocket science to say that

As a LFC fan, I think Carra has an opinion I'd listen to. Realistic.

Lazy journalism. Look around there are no managers of Klopps level (even back then) around now in this moment. It's a time of a lot of up and coming managers. The only option available now that has a track record of winning something is Tuchel. I think not.

You couldn't get a better endorsement than that. It would have been great to get Gerrard in. That would shut Carragher up once and for all, after Liverpool fighting a relegation battle.

They are so right. Its a gamble plus he is no top player magnet. Fortunately Arne can make his name with the current set of young players that he is inheriting. LFC business model remains clear, they are not going to spend to win.

every appointment is a gamble

Name me one manager from the Dutch league that has been a success in England. I’ll wait.

If it doesnt work out. We will be in for Xabi

Slot a good fit for liverpool comes out of the Roy Hodgson mold.

Yes Jamie knows alot ,,and iwould like to thank him for leaving liverpool in the lurch in defence in 2013 as we missed him in 2014 when we would have won premi had jami not left

2:38 I see what you did there

I have always respected Jamie's opinion on anything Liverpool but sometimes I just wish he would add caution to some comments that he makes. Negativity can breed doubt in the minds of others, inparticular the fans and at the time when LFC need a little positive news then why would you spout the comments like this 🤷‍♂️ Liverpool have done their homework on this so very little changes behind closed doors and on the pitch

Literally nobody out there that isn’t a gamble. Any manager coming into a new side has dilemmas & decisions to make. Do the owners back him is the question. These guys sounding real casual with their punditry.

Mark is happy to see Arne. Another Dutch that will replicate the MU flop. I also think this is a big gamble. Arne need to prove doubters wrong.

Kloop to slot. Let's not hope it flops. All the best liverpool, but brace yourself for the rocky roads ahead.

A new manager is always a gamble

From Xavi to Slot? Really, really weird trajectory that….

Ten Hag wiped the floor with this guy in the Dutch league

Well I suppose you are taking a gamble on any new manager coming in 🤷

Edwards normally gets it right ...

As a LFC fan . Slot is a Dutch Brendon Rodgers . We should have gone it for Jose Mourinho, Thomas Tuchal, or Hans Flick. If Slot got the job , then Martin O Neil should also be considered. In my opinion, Slot is not the man for LFC and will probably get the sack in a year.

In michael edward we trust!!!!!

Yet Carragher wanted us to get Tuchel who was awful at Chelsea, took klopp few seasons to get us challenging for league

Gonna be gambling on every manager jeeeeesus

Carragher likes him but its a fact he s a gamble and I guarantee that's down to Edwards having more power and going with analytics and statistics ticking boxes. It's definitely a gamble because Liverpool managers need to big characters that the fans can buy into and believe he can take us on a journey. Our managers are bigger than players to us. I'm ready to give him a chance but there's no way I can say I'm confident. Up the reds. YNWA

all new managers are gambles

How many wish Carragher could take his criticism to the touchline as a coach...

I think you will see liverpool go the way of united now. They won't be challenging for the title for the foreseeable future.

Nagelsman or Tuchel would have been a mire fitting choice but we'll see

Carragher the oracle 🤣

I know this is standard practice, but FSG are the only ones who have done due diligence rather than guessing what Slot is like and get a few quotes from players that know a bit about him. Carra knows nothing about slot other than what we all can find out looking on the internet and UKposts.

I dont understand why a Liverpool legend is putting extra pressure on a new manager,

Of course, we gambled with Klop, too.

He'll slot in fine

Dutch league is very poor for a few years now. ETH had this amazing reputation but look at him now. Koeman; De Boer; Van Gaal all struggled. Slot not even winning the league this season even with Ajax being so bad. Fans will need to be very patient

Hey Cara, in 2015, Klopp was a gamble. Tell me now who's not?

Didnt see carra once

No other club gets doubted as much as lfc. Every time we prove them wrong, yet they still doubt us. Slot will come good, he may not win the prem, but he will make red fans happy again. YNWA

Arne is going to fill Klopp's slot.

Speccy looks like he can hardly stay awake.

Carra one big gamble himself. Lucky to keep his job with Sky.

Slot Machine reference

Liverpool have decided to gamble by paying the Slot machine😂

Tbf, everyones a gamble. If hes pants and it doesnt work he'll be gone soon enough and we'll be back on the managerial merry go round.

We needed a bald coach

I’m scared City and Arsenal doesn’t come to Anfield and free-walk to victory
