Restoring and maintaining Liverpool glory with Klopp will certainly be very difficult to do and we must admit that it is unlikely that Arne Slot will be able to bring Liverpool to the same level as in the Klopp era, arne Slot is of course a hope for Liverpool fans to see their team be even better next season, but I hope they don't need to get their hopes up if Arne Slot is able to bring many changes to the Liverpool squad, even though Arne Slot retains the majority of last season players in the current Liverpool squad.

We do not expect immediate glory when Arne Slot is chosen as Liverpool's head coach. Arne Slot is not worthy of being called Jurgen Klopp's replacement because the word replacement indicates that he must be able to continue the achievements that Klopp has made in the previous season in his first season.
We only hope that Arne Slot can build good team cohesion without any conflict between him and the players or between players. Slot's presence at Anfield can be a coach and a father figure for the players.

I think Liverpool fans will also have this consciousness because everyone knows that jorgen kloop was a world class coach and he totally changed the mentality of this Liverpool club and the trophies he won with them can speak for him as he also bagged the champions league trophy which is something most English club have been struggling so bad to win. So to be expecting a new coach to come in and maintain that kind of game play will be hard but it's possible so Patience and hard work will be the only way forward.

He has still not met expectations after the famous transfer deal worth 85.5 million pounds in the summer of 2022. Some recent information suggests that MU wants to let Antony go to another club on loan for the 2024/25 season. This is understandable because the 24-year-old winger played unconvincingly in the 2023/24 season. Does this move show that MU is offering and selling Antony?

Manchester United and Brazilian forward Antony have been a shadow of himself since he signed for the Old Trafford club and the reason for his decline in form is what I actually do not understand. Maybe the style of play that's adopted by the club manager isn't giving him the liberty to be at his best but whatever might be the cause of poor performances in recent seasons must solved if you ask me. If it'll take a loan move away from the club this summer to come back to his best again, Antony must do it in other to revive his dying career. He showed so much potentials as a winger in his former club Ajax and I believe he can as well do better than he's doing at the moment at Manchester United of he finds himself in a club that plays his kind of football.

You can analyze Liverpool's performance after playing 3 matches on their pre-season tour of the US. The 3 teams they will face are Real Betis, Arsenal and Manchester United, so just wait for the match date and get some impressions from there about the performance of the coaches and players. On the club's official page, I read about the involvement of 28 players in their pre-season tour to the US, and here is the list:

Initial travelling Liverpool squad for USA tour: Endo, Szoboszlai, Salah, Jones, Elliott, Tsimikas, Robertson, Carvalho, Bajcetic, Chambers, Pitaluga, Phillips, Gordon, Doak, McConnell, Jaros, Kelleher, Beck, Nallo, Koumas, Van den Berg, Quansah, Morton, Bradley, Blair, Stephenson, Davies, Nyoni.

Of course it's a friendly match before the season starts, but the coach will try to do his best while finding a good strategy for his team ahead of the season starting. There are 4 friendlies match, 3 in the US and 1 more at Anfield against Sevilla.

Even though Arsenal seems to have minimal player spending activity and is still calm in the transfer market this summer, Arteta has confirmed that the Gunners will soon recruit new players.

I don't think if Arsenal has much interest in buying so many players because if they had planned of that they would have been doing something about it now because already the new season is about to start and besides you can see that all the clubs are currently on there pre-season matches which is even the right moment for a club to get use to there new players, so actually what I'm thinking is that it seems Arsenal wants to use there current squad since they are still very much in a good form, then from next season they can decide if they will get more players or not, though in terms of getting more players the clubs that are having financial issues are actually the ones I petty because if nothing is done they will certainly be affected.

The English Premier League comes with stress and a whole lot of competitive race and pressure. However the strong ones still made it out alive without been relegated and this is one of the prospective aspect of the top game. The management of the Citizens have been quite formidable and winning becomes priority for them. Manchester City is elite club and have proven their dominance against their oppositions, it’s been really a smooth season for the Citizens.

One of the interesting points in the English Premier League is the tight competition until the end of the season. This is what makes world-class players really want to test their careers in England.
Until now or even in the next few seasons, the English Premier League will be very competitive where the bottom team can beat the favorite team to win. There is no really easy competition between each team here, so in the last few seasons we have seen how teams that should have been relegated can still survive.

Even though Manchester City managed to win consecutive trophies, but many still consider the Premier League to be the most competitive league. Because usually when only one team is able to win a trophy for at least three consecutive seasons, the league is said to be a farmers' league. But in reality, the Premier League is still very interesting to look forward to, even though in reality Manchester City still has high dominance.

But even so, I am sure that when Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City later, I am sure there will be a phase where it will be difficult for Manchester City to be strong in the title race at the top of the Premier League. Thus, while Pep Guardiola is still at Manchester City, of course Manchester City will maximize this moment to keep support Pep Guardiola so that he will make sustainable achievements.

Everything will not work when talking about instant because this is not an easy thing when managing a big club with all the pressure in it but that doesn't mean we can judge Slot as someone who failed even before he made a contribution because the season hasn't started yet.

Liverpool management knows all the consequences of choosing Slot so we just have to see what he will do with Liverpool later because it would be ridiculous if Slot hasn't even shown his performance at Liverpool but has been said to be unfit for now.

I remember the story of Roberto Di Matteo when coaching Chelsea a decade ago where he was also said to be someone who did not have competence when coaching Chelsea at that time but in the end there were the best results he got by getting the Champions League unexpectedly. and this can also still apply to Slot and Liverpool because after all in this case we can only criticize after what he shows in the new season later, as long as Slot still hasn't shown his way of coaching on the field I think it would be ridiculous to consider him a failure just because of the benchmark to the previous coach.

-snip-he should be able to bring Manchester United better than last season if not wants to be fired, although currently he still has full trust from management to manage Manchester United, but I think his position is no longer safe at this time, because after all he can be fired at any time next season if he is unable to make increase  to the Red Devils performance in the league and European league.

Yes, last season was the worst season for Ten Hag. I even thought Manchester United Management would fire him after the bad results they had in the league. But Ten Hag managed to win the FA Cup, and brought Manchester United to play in the UEL. This is not a good result for Ten Hag but it looks like the club management is still giving him the opportunity to improve his ranking this season. I think at least Ten Hag should be able to bring United through to the UCL next season. Because if he fails, his position will be unsafe and of course he can be fired at any time if he performs poorly.

Even though Arsenal seems to have minimal player spending activity and is still calm in the transfer market this summer, Arteta has confirmed that the Gunners will soon recruit new players.

Two things might happen here, if Arteta and company choose to stick to the same old players..some will be motivated to player better as they know they will be regular starters for the club but then again if these players don't have competition for their position then they could give a lazier attitude which could hurt the team in the long run...

Just to be deliberate and keep players fighting for their team, I think new signings are needed for Arsenal to keep all players on their toes!!

Manchester City winning the Premier league title four consecutive times in a role doesn't change how competitive the league is, it only shows the greatness in a club like City. Whereas City never won the league at ease, there is always 2 or 1 team that stands to compete for the first position but in the past four years, Manchester City are found competent than the others.

But even so, I am sure that when Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City later, I am sure there will be a phase where it will be difficult for Manchester City to be strong in the title race at the top of the Premier League. Thus, while Pep Guardiola is still at Manchester City, of course Manchester City will maximize this moment to keep support Pep Guardiola so that he will make sustainable achievements.

Probably, we can't rightfully tell but there will be decline in the teams performance, getting to adapt to new style and positioning from a new coach may take a little time to get acquainted untill they perfect it. Surprisingly, during the dismiss of Guardiola a few players may like to move out the club which inturn will definitely affect their performance in that season,  adding to new management.

Even though Arsenal seems to have minimal player spending activity and is still calm in the transfer market this summer, Arteta has confirmed that the Gunners will soon recruit new players.

The Gunners will add new players for the purpose to strengthen the club, it's never been an easy road for Arsenal. Mikel Arteta are one of rare coaches to manage the club since Arsene Wenger regime, Gunners have found their place on the table and pre-eminent rival for Manchester City. Arsenal headcoach, Mikel Arteta knows the players to sign next season, he has no panics because he has successfully build the formidable promising squad for next season.
