New Headline: Liverpool ace clinches crucial spot ahead of Klopp's expansion campaign

Former Liverpool forward edging closer to replace Arne Slot A former Liverpool forward is seriously edging closer to replacing Arne Slot if he keeps going the way he is. No matter what the club's official channels brief, and how many roundtables the Dutchman does, his time at Anfield will be coming to an end. Sooner or later, Slot will depart.

He is simply not the right fit to manage Liverpool. The last calendar year and more has proved that. Despite the excuses Slot makes, the Reds should be playing much better football and should be in a much better position.

Slot doesn't know how to handle the opposition's antidotes to his tactics. He comes across as someone not necessarily excellent in his man-management and on top of that he doesn't seem to inspire his players either. Simply, put he's not fit to be a Liverpool manager.

Liverpool need a change and there is one candidate everyone is already overlooking. There are a lot of former Liverpool players doing well managing at a high level in Europe these days. You only need to look at Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa.
