Dortmund isn't his one true love.

If he takes another job, it will probably be the German national team.

If Alonso is anything like his childhood mate Arteta then see you in five years time when everyone will be calling you bottle jobs.

Hitler probably had childhood friends who were also into art, yet they didn't all have the same career path.

Strange analogy cuz they pretty much have had the same career path.

I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome the LFC fans back to the world of mediocrity

Be careful what you wish you wish for !

I reckon Xabi Alonso will be fabulous

Look at this current squad ..

Intriguingly he may come in .. sell Salah for an absolute fortune and bring in 2 or 3 amazing players of HIS choice !!

Patrik Schick instead of Salah also for a decent amount of money to help Leverkusen out in their search of a proper replacement in return


and tbh even if Xabi only has one year there, i reckon Leverkusen is attractive for all sorts of managers again,


i'd personally recommend the Bodo/Glimt coach Kjetil Knutsen as Xabi's successor i think

Xabi is already doing better than Tuchel with a on paper lesser team


while Tuchel is choking here and there with a on paper quality team

Once again he's walked away without being sacked preserving his record of never being sacked from a job,

No.

Probably favourite for the Europa league, and possibly slight faves in the carabao, but you'd have to be mental to think they'll finish above 115 charges FC, and possibly even Arsenal..

I don't think Arsenal are quite there yet, and Liverpool's overall squad depth - bizarrely - is probably better than City's now assuming they come back to full strength and manage to keep it close enough to that level.

Running rampant after Christmas is what they do, but I wouldn't rule Liverpool out of it at all. Liverpool historically tend to use emotion and circumstance as that weird final push moreso than finance and firepower, and Klopp's era coming to a definite close is quite the push.

Joe Gomez wins it for us at home to Wolves with a ****ing screamer.

We have a new team, and both Arsenal and city are both underperforming compared to last season.

It's not an impossibility, but I'm way too scarred by the memories of city just winning every game for the last half of every season, and we aren't at the same level to keep pace. Throw in some dodgy reffing (which city never seem to suffer with for some reason ), and it's not really very realistic.

If we're still top in March when city come to Anfield, and then we beat them, I may change my mind but that's currently a long way away.

This man on pens as soon as the league places are sorted

i couldn't call the winner of the league this season, i think a lot will depend on how far they all get in europe because that will stretch resources

Xabi Alonso, in 2018:

“Yes for sure, I have dreamt of [managing Liverpool]. But first, I have to prove myself. My link, my commitment, my passion with Liverpool is there.”

if half the liverpool squad leave at the end of the season and there isn't any money for replacements, there may not be many willing to take the job on

Why would you think half the squad is leaving? Salah is the only one slightly up in the air, and players are desperate to leave? Just doesn't make any sense.

Klopp, who will leave the Reds at the end of the season, signed Van Dijk from Southampton for £75m in January 2018 and the 32-year-old defender's contract at the club runs out in summer 2025.

Asked whether he saw himself being part of the next era, Van Dijk said: "That's a big question. I don't know."

He added: "It will be the end of Jurgen Klopp's era. I am still part of it, that's why I don't like to talk about it, and that is my main focus.
