Liverpool hero Molby: Slot must get used to Klopp comparisons

Liverpool hero Jan Molby says Arne Slot must get used to comparisons with Jurgen Klopp.

It was confirmed on Monday evening that Slot would replace Klopp as Reds manager.

Molby told the PA news agency: We (the media and pundits) have a big job haven't we?

Every time there is something we can't keep referring back to 'Klopp would have done A, B or C' but I guess there will be some of that. He'll just have to override that.

The first thing you do is you have a little look at the stats and how he compares to how Liverpool like to play.

Then I've had a look at a few games they beat Ajax 6-0 in a league game and I liked what I saw. I think he is a very impressive man.

Klopp had a way of playing and he has modified his heavy metal football over the years.

This is almost another step in terms of how modern football is played in terms of the high intensity and high press.

What are the downfalls? That he has done all his work in Holland so far. That would be the gamble.

He now has to transfer that into the Premier League but I can't see why not.

He appears to have a big personality, he's verbally very clever and probably speaks better English than (Manchester United boss) Erik ten Hag."
