If we say that this big hole has been closed with the presence of new coach Arne Slot, it cannot be guaranteed with certainty because Liverpool is big team and we have not seen how Arne Slot handles Liverpool and really handles the team well.
But whether we like it or not, we still have to believe in Arne Slot ability to be able to carry the burden left by Klopp and be able to work well according to everyone expectations.
We all know how Klopp has performed so far and how Klopp has led Liverpool to experience the bittersweetness of competition in several competitions, what is clear is that Liverpool chose Arne Slot, which means that he is quite great and able to make everyone believe in his abilities.
Moreover, he have contract for three seasons with Liverpool, I think this is enough time for Arne Slot to be able to achieve his glory days with Liverpool in the Premier League or other European competitions.

Are you really sure on what you are saying? I mean the  sentence I made bold, because I can't remember Mauricio pochettino winning any trophy for Chelsea football club, though his sacking was actually brutal and unfair, I also feels like they should have left him at least one more season, because the players were starting to understand and get used to his playing style.

But what I heard was that the major reason he was sacked was because he wants to be in control on who goes in and out of the club, something that Todd boehly and co loves doing, and that is the major reason Chelsea are struggling till today, since they took over from roman abrahimovic, they knows nothing about football and transfer, but they have refused to let people that knows the job do it, till changes are made concerning recruitment policies at Chelsea, I don't see them winning anything tangible in the nearest future.

It was as it should be for both of them to be able to put aside personal matters, if it concerns the interests of the team, where the team's goal must be a priority above anything else because that is basically their obligation to the team that has paid them. This could be good progress for Man United because what Sancho showed at Dortmund could be repeated at Man United, and he will have that chance because Ten Hag no longer has any reason to hinder him anymore.

It’s not entirely Ten Hang fault although he’s also part of their problem. Injury was actually the reason for Manchester United poor performance and Ten Hang was not tactically experienced to make use of the available players and rotate them to give him a good result. Ten Hang was so relaxed and comfortable with players even when they were not making any impact on the pitch for the whole 90 minutes of play. I think in other aspects he had done a good job especially in the aspect of discipline. United took a good decision by retaining him for another season. I am actually expecting more from him this coming season having seen and escaped despite the criticism from the fans and experts.

What is man without his ego! As a manager in charge of the team I am sure whatever he was doing was in the intent of moving the team forward, just maybe he pushed it too hard. But I do concur to your points of unity and trust between a coach of a team and his players, that bond must be there to move the team forward. However, Ten Hag must have learnt his lessons on that weakness side of him, we saw how the team later got a bit improved towards the end of the season than it was at the start. Giving him another chance to pilot the team was a great choice by the Glazer's as there was no one better in the available options.

I'm happy if Sancho and Erik Ten Hag have made up and this is a problem that should be resolved by both of them. Manchester United certainly doesn't want this feud to continue, especially since being loaned to Dortmund, Sancho's performance has improved very sharply. It would be a big regret if Manchester United had to lose a player like him.

Erik Ten Hag certainly knows his future plans if Sancho is already in the Red Devils' main squad and he just needs to provide a role for Sancho in the course of the competition next season. The pre-season match is indeed a suitable test before starting the main course in August and we will see whether Sancho's performance will remain the same as Dortmund or if he will fail again at Manchester United.

Did you know that this big hole has been closed with a new coach? Even though we don't yet know Arne Slot's skills, we have to believe that Liverpool's new coach this time can carry the burden left behind. The most important thing is that Liverpool must be patient with the process so that Arne Slot can think about the right strategy that he will use later.
In fact, he is confident enough to replace Kloop. He doesn't feel any pressure at all, even though Kloop is hard to get out of the fans' minds. I think that's understandable considering that Kloop has been Liverpool's manager for the longest time and has produced positive results.

I felt sad when I saw the news about Pochettino, even though I heard that there was an agreement between them and already Pochettino has failed and the management thinks that given him a second chance is very dangerous to them, if am the one I will have given him a second chance at least he tried and win a trophy for them last season but still they were not convinced with that. Chelsea have good players who they can call for I don't know where the problem is coming from, Pochettino know those players and he really believe in them, one certain time he was said "even though you will sack me but live the players" this show that the players are in a good condition just that they have not started getting along, I will still respect Pochettino if new coach comes and the club improves with the same Pochettino's players.

Man United's failure last season was not entirely Erik ten Hag's fault because many players were injured, making it difficult for the coach to implement strategies. The proof is, when the players started to recover, they managed to get the FA Cup at the end of the season. So it is very natural that Erik Ten Hag is given another chance, especially as you said, several Man United staff have been replaced, of course this will be a good start for next season.

Because on the other hand, I still can't tell whether Ten Hag is bad at tactics or the player has no tactical intelligence at all. Most diplomatic answers will fall somewhere in between. However, I believe Ten Hag is a tactically astute coach with a proven track record from when he coached Ajax. Although Man United's failure is of course also caused by their players, they have a proven track record of frustrating the three previous managers and the current Erik Ten Hag.
However, with the opportunity that Man United has given Erik Ten Hag, I hope that Man United can become a strong team and be liked by their opponents next season.

Man United seems to be looking at next season very seriously. Their decision to stick with Ten Hag was the right choice because even though he put Man United in a bad place in the standings, at least he could still provide an achievement in the FA Cup, and it looks like the boards have the same opinion as Ten Hag regarding the long-term plans. Since the Mourinho era, there is no coach who can present the trophy other than Ten Hag. So it is appropriate for Man United to retain a coach who might provide another series of trophies.

Man United also looks very active in the transfer window. Though they don't have much of a budget for next season, but it looks like that can be overcome by releasing several players who are no longer part of Man United's plans.

At this time, Ten Hag will definitely think twice about releasing Sancho from Manchester United. Because as we know, Sancho's performance when he was loaned to Dortmund was really impressive, even though he had only played half a season there, his best performance was immediately visible. So Ten Hag and also Manchester United management definitely think that Sancho has very good talent. However, because of Sancho's tension with Ten Hag, Sancho's performance became very bad at Manchester United. That's why Ten Hag and Sancho were given time to chat privately, so that Sancho could make the right decision. Then, as a result of this discussion, they finally made peace and Sancho will continue to play for Manchester United.

Who knows what Sancho's performance will be like at Manchester United next season. Hopefully his performance can be as good as when he was loaned to Dortmund. The reason is, if Sancho shows his poor performance again, Garnacho will certainly return to occupying the main position on Manchester United's left wing. So the point is that currently Ten Hag and Sancho have to build good chemistry. Because if they are currently making peace and when next season they start to disagree again, this will definitely have a bad impact on Sancho. So in essence, Ten Hag and Sancho have to really suppress each other's selfishness so that their chemistry is good. Apart from that, Manchester United must also be really firm regarding this issue. The reason is that currently Manchester United is in a situation that requires very good cooperation to be able to build a good team again. If necessary, Sancho and Ten Hag must have an agreement, so that they continue to be at peace. Because Sancho is really needed in the Manchester United squad.

Not only Sancho, Manchester United must also really be able to prevent Ten Hag from having problems with other Manchester United players. Because, if Manchester United can make this happen, I am very sure, Manchester United's performance will definitely improve again next season.

Perhaps more precisely, Ten Hag has spent two full seasons with Man United. And the results are actually different between season one and season two. Ten Hag's first season with Man United went quite smoothly. Because Man United managed to finish in 3rd place and get a ticket to UCL. But in his second season at Man United, quite bad results actually happened. First, Man United became the team that was eliminated from the UCL and even ended up at the bottom of the group they were in. And another bad result was in the Premier League itself where Man United ended the season ranked 8th. And that was the worst ranking that Man United has ever had in the Premier League. Luckily Ten Hag managed to beat Man City in the FA Cup final which meant that Man United still got a ticket to the European League. And this is also what saved Ten Hag's career at Man United so that Ten Hag will continue to be Man United's coach.
I doubt Man United next season.  but it shouldn't be a worse season than last season.

A team that has been formed for years should be ready for the existing matches, but we must know the important role of the coach who controls strategy and provides direction for scoring goals and defending which is very important. With a team like this without a coach who has good analysis, it will be difficult to win. Liverpool really needs a coach who is experienced and has expertise that is recognized by many people. In this way, Liverpool still has the potential to stay at the top of the standings in the upcoming league.

Chelsea already signed lots of new players. This is obvious. Chelsea will not do well in their first season under Maresca. a new head coach of Chelsea. Also, it is Maresca's first season in the Premier League. Usually, a club that bought many new players needs time to build their chemistry. This is the hardest task for Maresca.

Again, it's odd you said you've not heard rumors about Chelsea's transfers. Chelsea often updates their transfers on their official X account.

Recently, Renato Veiga becomes the latest signing by chelsea from FC Basel. Chelsea is now doing everything right by recruiting the new player at a sensible price.

Pochettino dismissal was indeed surprising, as when the season was almost over the Argentinian manager succeeded in making Chelsea appear consistent, and led the Blues to finish in 6th place in the Premier League standings. It is very difficult for any manager to win a trophy in his first season, especially since Chelsea completely overhauled their squad last season, and a storm of player injuries was the main reason why Pochettino failed to live up to expectations. In essence, Pochettino has made Chelsea foundation stronger, with the young players they have recruited.

The change in manager does not actually make expectations for Chelsea higher than the previous season, Enzo Maresca will probably suffer the same fate as Pochettino if he fails to bring Chelsea to a top four finish in the standings. It was reported that Pochettino was fired because he wanted to recruit players according to his needs, and Chelsea management considered that this was not in line with their long-term transfer plans. Enzo Maresca will have a tough task, the Chelsea manager seat is always hot for any manager.

Salah never said Yes/No to the Saudi's offers. He only wanted to keep playing in Liverpool until his contract ends in 2024-2025. So, the current season will be the end of his contract in Liverpool. But, Salah may also be changing his mind. But again, this depends on his first season under a new coach at Liverpool (Arne Slot).

For your information, the latest news came from the Saudi Minister of Sport, Prince Abdulaziz Bin Turki Al-Faisal. He said the Saudi pro league tried to send Liverpool an offer. Even an SPL club tried to take Salah on loan for a season. But, Liverpool didn't give them a chance to take Salah.

Liverpool does not want to let him go. So, The Saudi Pro League may wait for Salah's contract to end before trying to approach him again. I know you said Salah will still play at Liverpool. But, I see this season as Salah's trial. He will play under Arne Slot, Liverpool's new head coach.

I hope that Arne Slot will have a good relationship with Salah. Then, Arne can keep him at the club.

Already done, and he passed the medical test today.

I thought Zirkzee would be interested in going to some other club instead of Manchester United. Because of the obvious downfall of United recently. But I guess sometimes a player has to not look at that. Probably the biggest thing that he thought about was Red Devils actually needed him. Zirkzee is also going to get a really good amount of playing time if he is actually healthy at Manchester United. I also hope that Erik ten Hag will be able to improve their performance in the upcoming season. Because if they perform just like they have performed in the last season, it is going to be a big problem for them. I hope Joshua Zirkzee will be able to contribute to the Red Devils a lot.

The problem with Chelsea is within them because I don't know the type of manager they really want again. Last season Pochettino was able to start getting the club performance back, and things were changing for good, but unfortunately they sack him. I don't think they want to sign a manager that will get them a trophy once they come, which will be kind of difficult because any coach must take some time before they get used to a team, and also the players need to get used to the coach's method of play before they can know how good a coach is; they must give them enough time, so I doubt if Chelsea will be better if they continue changing coaches every season.

Ten Hag is the problem of Manchester United in my humble opinion and I take his inability to control the dynamic team as one of major factors affecting the consistency of the club despite being one of the elite clubs in the Premier league and by extension, in the world. Ten Hag needs to work on his weeknesses to improve the team's performance this next season, else they may get it worse than the last time. Why I will find it difficult to blame the squad, is because there are other clubs with less strong and talented squad depth, yet they were kinda more consistent than the Manchester United last season.

When the sadness passes, Arsenal will realize that they can still go further after a season of fair competition with Man City. Even though they couldn't win the championship, Mikel Arteta's team still deserves praise. And, Arsenal did their best, it's just a shame that The Citizens were so excellent.

Arsenal will continue to invest heavily in their squad this summer. To reach that next level, Arsenal need to upgrade their squad. And it seems that Arteta will continue to receive great support from the board of directors. Arsenal clearly understands the importance of upgrading the squad. If Arsenal want to keep up with them, Arsenal must spend. There is no other choice. This is the minimum that must be done. Maybe Arsenal will continue that success, although the strength of Man City and Liverpool is still huge. Just needs to stabilize his performance on the field and add a little luck to win a few Premier League titles in the coming years.
