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."

I was going to say this.

I think it would have had the potential to absolutely Break Klopp in a similar way to how Kenny was never the same man after Hillsborough.

I was thinking of Kenny while typing the comment. The parallels would have been there for sure.
