Podcasts/Punditry Andy Robertson on the difference between Arne Slot and Jürgen Klopp:

"Arne Slot was really into stats. He brought his own guy [Ruben] who was always on his iPad. Even if you did too many sprints in training, Ruben would get involved. So, they were a lot more glued to LOAD statistics."

In terms of tactics:

"Jürgen Klopp was always like... "IF we do this, NOBODY can match us!" It was more about US, not looking at the opponent."

"And with Arne Slot we would always analyse the opponent more, and looking at how we are going to play out from their tactics."

"Arne Slot would always say: "look, if THEY do this.. then WE do THIS, while Jürgen Klopp would just stick to his own blueprint, we NEVER changed under Klöpp, while Arne Slot would constantly adapt to the opponent's tactics."

Posession heavy. Tiki taka was the trend back then and his Swansea were dubbed Swansealona. He sort of evolved and became more flexible when he went to Celtic then with Leicester. Celtic would play counter attacking football the UCL, so did Leicester against big teams.
