Not much news today. Looks like Woodman will start between the stick against Crystal Palace this weekend. The game is not a must win, but really, we must win the game.
A few articles that piqued my curiosity:
- "Former Liverpool star will definitely become manager and it's not Xabi Alonso"
- "Fernando Torres already learned from Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool prediction made"
- "Liverpool news as Jamie Carragher gives Arne Slot update and icon backed for job"
- "Liverpool's potential XI under Fernando Torres as icon will 'definitely' be boss"
Spoiler alert - and it's amazing how many words (including my own, perhaps) are being spent on this, from what appears to be basically an off-hand quote from Fernando Llorente - but these articles all suggest that Fernando Torres - El Niño himself - will manage LFC at some point in the future.
I have no idea if he'd be a good manager. It appears that he's currently managing Atletico Madrid B, which plays in the third tier of Spanish Soccer, and currently sits at 3rd in Group 2...do with that what you will. As far as I can tell, that's like managing a MLS reserve team (made up of teenagers) playing against USL Championship team (second behind MLS in America) with mostly journeymen players...
My gut reaction is that these are just filler articles because there's nothing else to really talk about on a Wednesday. But, at the same time, I don't see Slot staying around forever (or perhaps even to the end of next season if he can't turn things around) and it's nice to consider alternatives. And, if the "El Jefe" moniker sticks, you heard it hear first.
