Arne Slot had to go. Obvious given the mood at Anfield. But Andoni Iraola is very interesting. Exciting, with caveats.
The 48 games that Liverpool are guaranteed next season are already more than he has ever managed in a season at a top-flight club. skysports.com/football/news/…

Liverpool have had problems finishing chances and defending set pieces all season but it is the creativity under scrutiny now. Worst for a decade. Plus, how Chelsea targeted their right side.

Interview with James Milner.
Found this very interesting as he goes into good tactical detail and reflects on how he has seen the game change.
Particularly insightful on how players are less inclined to solve problems on the pitch without the manager.

Harry Kane can do it all and he has been consistently brilliant for a decade but a best Ballon d’Or finish of tenth suggests that he needs to boss the really big games to get the credit that he deserves. Opportunities ahead…
