Arne Slot's Liverpool Revolution

              Matip after the Carabao Cup Final Win against Chelsea 2022 Carragher had Hyppia, Hyppia has Henchoz, VVD had Matip. The story of Matip is an allusive one to stay the least. A man who’d always been forgotten as the man who made VVD look irreparable in their best years, winning everything is there to win. However, his ending to his career was a gaping hole that left him in pain, one where he left on the bitter taste of injury and mishap. So the Story of Matip and his role as a wheel in the sportscar in the team where he was unappreciated is a confusing and sorrow one. Making his stamp on his senior career in Schalke 04 in 2009, after Coach Felix Magath put his faith in his “Enormous Potential”. And it payed off. He was apart of that magical Schalke side that were semi-finalists during the 2010–2011 season of the UCL including talents such as Manuel Neuer, Raul and Huntelaar, even scoring a renowned goal vs Inter Milan in a 5–2 win in the Sa...

In a dominant world-beater midfield after Liverpool first title win in over 30 years, in 2020 it seemed like they were at the pinnacle after the back of a World Club Cup and UCL win.

This can be attributed to Klopp’s ‘heavy metal football’ with its hi...

  After 8 years of joy for Liverpool fans all over the world, the “normal one” Jurgen Klopp announced his shock resignation mid-way the 23/24 season, whilst the season ended in a late title collapse in April. Liverpool fans still recognise his everlasting legacy at his tenure at Merseyside winning it all that there is. In his departure, Slot was quick to assume his position as Head Coach of Liverpool Manager in June 2024. However, there were many to quickly write him off; as many podcasts, pundits and rivals mostly calling it a “rebuild season”, as last seasons failures will bring Liverpool into another hangover similar to the one after the Paris 2022 Final. Throughout pre-season, Arne emphasised his happiness after beating infamous rivals Manchester United 3–0 on tour in the US “It’s a 3–0 win but the score could have been different tonight as well. Very positive, I think. Of course the results, that’s where everybody is looking at. But players stayed fit and they are able to perf...
