What do you think about Liverpool next season? You know they have changed their manager much earlier than normal. They wouldn't sack their manager this quick actually. 

I say that they will have to be patient for at least a couple of years to start becoming champions again. I don't think Iraola will start winning league titles right away after he comes. This is the first time for him to manage a big team like this.

It will be so sudden to expect title race will them now, they have decline and I put all that blame on slot, because he could not be able to do anything under his watch even when the the management cooperated with him, do what he want but he could not still deliver. Liverpool have good players which we know they are very good especially the current signing that they did during slot regime. The New Coach have a lot to do because he came when things are bad so right now he have to make himself look good for the management, so that he can be identify as the best man for the job.

Liverpool has done the right thing by sacking Arne Slot but the problem is that the decision was too late!

Because they have missed the chance of signing Xabi Alonso. Just how can they be this careless? Like everyone was expecting them to sign a deal with Xabi Alonso soon.

They had better find the right name for themselves. Otherwise they will regret being this late about this sacking and bringing Xabi Alonso instead.

I think this is not the first mistake happened by Liverpool they did these mistakes in their past as well and these things were highly cost them. Because this is good that Liverpool sacked Arne slot but its too late that they took this step. If they did the same thing some time earlier they had a great chances to improve and to have a new talented coach for themselves but they just missed it. Now obviously they will sign a new coach for themselves but who will be the one and with which characteristic and how long does it take to make the Liverpool good in performing. Because xabi Alonso was a talented coach and has abilities  which can definitely help Liverpool to grow and bring some positive and effective improvements in the team as well.

You will never know what will happen in football, everyone said the same when Arne Slot was appointed and he won a Premier League in his first season, Andoni Iraola is a very good coach, he knows the Premier League very well, not like Alonso who is just a new manager in the Premier League.

I think Andoni Iraola is going to be a good manager at Liverpool, and he will be very successful at Liverpool, he is going to have a transfer window, and he plays in the Liverpool way, which is a heavy metal football, and is going to be a good style of play that their fans are going to absolutely love.

I never really expected arne slot to last this long because he was absolutely dreadful with the second season of his career and I never really expected him to even stay this long and if they had kept him more then he would have absolutely trash the club because he was having nothing at all to justify his poor performance with the club, he actually spent alot to acquire player and that was a total failure too as most of his signing have still not delivered up to their expectations.

Sunderland were the most surprising club of the season in the PL to me. Because it was their promoted year but still they managed to finish the season in a place to qualify for the EL league phase! 

They had some ups and downs on the road which is totally normal. This was a way extra performance than the expected from them. But of course there is no guarantee for him about relegation threat next time.

I watched the match when they were fighting against Sheffield United in the promotion play-off final to qualify for the Premier League. In that match, they qualified for the Premier League through a hard-fought battle. In that exciting match, they came from behind in the first half, equalised in the second half and scored in extra time to secure the win, but look where they are today. They finished the season by qualifying for the Europa League in their first season. However, there are always doubts about the consistency of such teams, it remains to be seen whether they can dispel those doubts. They will have to start the season with a deeper squad than this season, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the pressure of multiple leagues and will continue to be relegated.

Sunderland is a good team, watching them from the Championship stage I believed that they are coming to stay because they showed a better coordination and resilience on the pitch that most Premier league teams. It is such a pity that Leicester, the former Premier league Champions still have not found their way back to the Premier league after relegation and are still battling even at the Championship stage.

Sunderland should make better signings next season to better secure Premier league football because these Premier league teams are not smiling. Coventry would be making their way back to the Premier league next season and that is another tough competition for the Premier league teams, Sunderland would need to do better next season.

I know that all is that they are doing is just to prepare themselves against next season, so that they could have a new management that could take the players to the next level which is competency,  however this does not guarantee the result that should be gotten by then, sometimes they will need to be more patient with their managers in order to see how they could later perform, even though Force impression last long but they still need more time to be able to get themselves along with them players and the strategies that could give them the accurate results needed.

Exactly what my point, they should better not expect much from him, because Liverpool he has signed for is quite a huge task for him, and this is English premier League, not any other cheap league he win go into and start winning, trust me is on rebuilding process, and from there they are going back to their normal state, and it's quite embarrassing to see them go back there, and again now I will show people why I prefer Jurgen Klopp over Pep Guardiola, let's just wait for the 2026/2027 English premier League season to start, then I will be giving my reasons for this.

Arne Slot lasted far too long at Liverpool, in my opinion. Many of his management styles were criticized by the players, leading to some players being dropped from the squad. Furthermore, despite being allowed to make some excellent transfers, he failed to achieve success this season. Therefore, I think it was a miracle they persevered until the end of the season. They also suffered major defeats and surprising results during the season. Thankfully, the league is over now, and with a new manager, Liverpool will once again strive for the championship.

And I thought they were going to give him the benefits of doubt but the way it is they can no longer continue with all his failures and they just have to find a way to fix there problem which is to let him go because they just wanted result by all means and and I just did not see this happening happening because I expected that they will allow him and then if those not perform well but they did not even wait that long because as it is the club don't want excuses again.

They want action because they know that were there is action there is definitely result so let's assume that things will be different since that is why they want to let slot go they are tired of his incompence and since they performed poorly now they need a reset button let's just watch and see that everything will work out for them because that is part of the mistake they are always making they know the errors but take too much time to fix them. That is one of the problems the management are facing they are always taking things to slow before they make a decision.

Liverpool have failed to achieve something last season and that is the reason they are making quick decisions for next season and bringing new manager and making other players leave as free agent. So am planning he will buy some good play that will replace them up and other players that leave have been long in the club and not helping the team like before so replacing them with other players is the good decision. I can’t no how next season will be for Liverpool since have not seen any good news from them yet but let watch after the international WC we can see every clubs improvement.

It’s just going to be difficult to predict how Liverpool will perform by next season, I don’t really know how their new coach is going to perform. I feel Liverpool is having some quality players, and their main problem is their coach, so let’s see how the new coach is going to perform at Liverpool, but I feel Liverpool management should just give him some time, he should be able to improve Liverpool’s performance with time. Slot really messed things up at Liverpool, they should have even sacked him before the season ends, slot spent so much money signing players, but even with the players they signed, they didn’t perform well.

Bringing in a new coach or letting some players go can never Bring solution to the problem of Liverpool now, what they need is a coach capable of utilising the type of players they have to get something meaningful from them. Same problem of Liverpool now was what Manchester United went through some seasons back, they sacked, hired coaches and even replaced alot of players in there squad with the hope of improving but all turned to nothing  until the problem of the team was identified by Michael carrick and them the same inconsistent players turned one of the best squad in the Premier League last season.  
If Liverpool wants solution they don't need to rush into situations,  they should gently see how to find permanent solution instead of getting themselves into much problems.

I have this soft spot for Iraola that I don't just understand but one thing i know is that he would find a way to succeed, like the way he left Vallecano to Bournemouth without any English experience and still survived with the Bournemouth team, I feel he would do better with the experience he has gathered with Bournemouth but the problem becomes winning the tittle when it feels likeb we have alot of main character coaches coming in next season

Liverpool will prosper next season, the team will do so by having a great relationship with the new manager, Slot failed at Liverpool the very minute he began to fight with the old boys over his new signees. And his bad decisions of selling off right back wingers like Arnolds and bringing in Frimpong to the club, a team with lesser corporation do not go far, even in a low competitive title race. The new manager must not make similar mistakes as slot, he must be in love with his boys and enforce team work more than sentiments or biasness.

In the Premier League, a coach with a track record and experience in a particular team will always be sought after by other big clubs, even if they're at a team that's struggling to win the league. So, Iraola could be of interest to several other teams in this transfer window if his current club doesn't mind letting him go, and if he himself is comfortable with managing elsewhere and is well-received.

Watson's winner wasn't extra time. It was 90+5'. Regular stoppage time. I still get chills.

Defence is the key to this Sunderland side. Not attack. The attacking figures are truly disturbing. They struggled to get the ball into the box all season. Like, bottom two or three in the entire league for penalty area activity.

What Le Bris did is he created something that allows the other team to have the ball and shoot constantly, but all from miles out. You feel you're controlling them. You're not. You're shooting into a wall.

And Roefs in goal had the season of his life. Absolute stone cold.

So that's the magic that keeps this whole thing together. Defensive discipline: a very specific group of players that played almost the entire game. Like, 7 guys playing almost all the time? That's desperation.

Well clearly Liverpool next season's performance is dependant on the coaches performance, as you can see they have lost some significant players in the club and we hope the rest can perform well,
Regardless hoping or believing to win a trophy next season isn't really a wrong thing to do. A good coach can do that, as a matter of fact it has been done before multiple times, so the fans expecting such should probably be worth it
