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.
It all depends on the process that Arne Slot will go through with Liverpool players. If you look at the time he has before the League, of course Arne Slot has a great opportunity to maintain Liverpool's vision and mission. Liverpool players easily accept whoever the coach is, Arne Slot's quality has been recognized by Jurgen Klopp and is fully supported. This means that before his departure I am sure these two coaches have communicated with each other outside the stadium to share experiences. At least Jurgen Klopp has entrusted this club to the right hands.

Arne Slot is starting to make improvements to look for options if Mo Salah loses his productivity. Takefusa Kubo is the option chosen by Arne Slot, which can actually be considered a risky bet, but we are quite curious about what kind of format Arne wants to implement at Liverpool. Real Madrid is the club that benefits from the sale of Takefusa Kubo with a 50% share of his release clause.
Arne Slot looks very close to all the Liverpool players currently available in training. Rumors regarding Takefusa Kubo's interest in bringing him to Anfield are already known to the public. If Kubo is used as an option if Mo. Salah, I think it is the right option. Even when Mo. Salah doesn't leave, Takefuso Kubo can be a good substitute for Mo. Salah because Kubo has shown his game at the club he is currently playing for.Yes, Mo Salah has entered the final year of his contract, although Liverpool still does not want to sell him, coach Arne Slot knows very well that he is not as fit as before. With many worries, Liverpool will enter the new season as Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are about to expire and their future is still unknown. Coach Arne Slot needs to strengthen many positions and find new tricks, and Takefusa Kubo is one of his talismans next season. Kubo can play on the left wing or as an attacking midfielder but his forte is on the left-footed right wing and looks set to replace Salah. Liverpool currently have no natural right winger apart from Mohamed Salah. Harvey Elliott could play there but has been converted to midfield, so signing Kubo could help Arne Slot solve his right-forward problem in the future.
If the Takefusa Kubo deal fails, coach Arne Slot should also consider these two stars: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - Napoli, Leroy Sane - Bayern Munich. These are 2 players I think are also suitable for the position left by Mo Salah.
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.
I agree with you. Arsenal has enough players, why Arsenal must sign many players? If Arsenal wants to add new players, I think they only try to get new center backs and a top striker. William Saliba is rumored to leave Arsenal because Real Madrid is trying to sign him now. If William Saliba really leaves Arsenal, they need a new center back. Although Arsenal successfully signs Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal still needs more center backs if one of the current center back leaves. At least, Arsenal must have 4 center backs to deal with all the matches in the whole season. Moreover, Arsenal will play in UCL with a new format, they will have more matches in UCL.Arsenal also still have a problem in their attacking, they have no sharp striker. Gabriel Jesus no longer performs well and he often gets injury. This condition should lead Arsenal to try signing a new striker.
I have actually noticed that from Gabriel Jesus because his performance is no longer the same as before and one thing that has been disturbing him is injury and considering the fact that strikers are mostly the heart of every team Arteta should be advised to make a good decision about that either to sign someone that can work better on the absence of Gabriel Jesus or he figure out a player within the club. 
A friendly match between Arsenal and Bournemouth ended with a final result of 5-4 (penalty). Arsenal used many of its young talents as the starting lineup in this game. Some academic players were also balling crazy against Bournemouth. I pay attention to some players who ran the show in this game.
Ode played very well in this game, and he looks several levels above everyone on the field. And again, Nwaneri had a good performance. He was a young player, but he looked very smart and ready to play with the senior players.
There is so much exciting stuff in this game. Though Arsenal won through penalties. But, it shows how Arsenal has so many great young talents, and they've all progressed. I don't mind the result as this is only a pre-season match. I'm feeling optimistic if Arsenal can enter the title race again in the upcoming season.
I also think Saka needs a backup, it have shown in previous season, saka is playing way too much games and sometimes it affects him due to fatigue and tiredness. With so much games to play this season it best to get Saka a backup so he can rest much and be active in vital games.
Sincerely I think Mikel Arteta is getting there, his philosophy and style of play is really showing impact and improvement in the squad, a bit of hard work, dedication and belief can really get him the title this season but he need to bring some quality players in some position too.
Has anyone heard the latest news on Man United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka? Here it is
Initially he was linked with Galatasaray who may have wanted the player and the rumours were actually discussed last month. But this month the latest news emerged that Aaron Wan-Bissaka was offered an offer from West Ham and he rejected the offer to join the team and instead chose to join Inter.
It was very confusing from the start where he would go. However, after seeing the latest news, it is likely that Aaron Wan-Bissaka will leave the Red Devils and choose to join the Serie A team.

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?
Nothing has been said about a possible transfer sale for Antony so far so good. What I see is that he'll be a backup player for Amad Diallo who should be having a better first full season for Manchester United and with Manchester United. Antony could bounce back up, but he needs to get his head into the game. Why not go back to the basics of football rather than make unnecessary dribbles? If you go back to his second game against Chelsea last season, he did pretty well.
I do not see him leaving Manchester United for now. Erik Ten Hag still feels he has something more to do for the club.
Talking about one of these players, Antony, I hope he leaves Manchester United and there is no use for him when he plays and is used, I would rather see Alejandro Garnacho than Antony who can only spin the ball around, what's so special about this player!!
it is certain now that Arsenal have activated David Raya's permanent clause because previously he was only on loan but this season he has become an Arsenal player.
David Raya surprisingly took over a main goalkeeper position in Arsenal from Aaron Ramsdale and this decision of Arsenal and Arteta to secure future of Raya with them, is explainable. A goalkeeper position is very important in any club because lack of solid back line, it's hard for players above to play confidently if they are always fearful about their goalkeeper teammate.Quote
Calafiori is also one of the concerns for Arsenal at the moment but indeed I have not seen him officially introduced at this time so we are still waiting whether indeed Calafiori will officially belong to Arsenal next season or not because indeed even though the rumors say that Calafiori has agreed but there is still no further confirmation on this matter.
Calafiori had a good season with Bologna last season, and some impressive matches for Italy in Euro 2024 but moving to Premier League will be big challenge for him. The defender can play at some different positions in defense system and can provide good flexibility and adaptability to Arsenal. He will need to improve his physical body and strength to survive in Premier League and Arsenal must take into consider this factor as important thing for adaptation of Calafiori in Premier League. 
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!!
But indeed it seems that they are still quite satisfied with some of the players they have even though it cannot be denied that there are several players who are rumored to be leaving such as Rowe who will go to Fulham but it is certain now that Arsenal have activated David Raya's permanent clause because previously he was only on loan but this season he has become an Arsenal player.

Is Antony now strong enough to revive his career at MU?
Initially, MU valued Antony at no more than 30 million euros. Because of Ten Hag's request, officials at Old Trafford had to accept spending three times more than that amount, turning the Brazilian player into the second most expensive contract in the club's history (after Paul Pogba, 105 million euros). 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?
If Manchester United decide to sell Antony, I believe only Ajax wants him, because Manchester United don't want to sell him at cheap price and only Ajax know how good was Antony. Other teams will not want to spend too much for Antony, he's failed in Manchester United, so it was a warning sign to other teams before sign him.Initially, MU valued Antony at no more than 30 million euros.

But it's not really wise to sell Antony now, if Manchester United want to release him, they should find other player to replace his position since they didn't have many players.

If they still have a dream to win EPL trophy and go far in UCL, Arsenal must sign a top striker. Actually, Osimhen is very suitable to be the main striker in Arsenal. Unfortunately, it looks like difficult for Arsenal to sign him.
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. 
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.
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.

-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. 
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.
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.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.
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.

There are 4 friendlies match, 3 in the US and 1 more at Anfield against Sevilla.

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 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.
