With Jurgen Klopp on the way out at Liverpool, we might soon see a change in style of play for the Reds.
So used to Klopp’s aggressive pressing tactics for so long, the players will have to adapt to the instructions of a new manager.
As things stand, that looks virtually certain to be Arne Slot.
Premier League and club legends make up a portion of Klopp’s playing staff.
Someone who knows a thing or two about being an icon of the game in England is former Chelsea and Arsenal left-back Ashley Cole.
And the 43-year-old Hall of Famer has today hailed two of Klopp’s finest stalwarts.

Cole is currently on the coaching team at Championship side Birmingham City.
So, when he speaks about the modern day full-back you’d be wise to listen.

And doing exactly that during a sit down with TNT Sports on Friday, Cole hailed the qualities of Liverpool’s two marauding defenders – Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
“You have to just applaud and give credit to the top ones,” he says.
“You see the Trent’s and Reece James’, Robertson who’s bombing up and down but can do everything.
“There’s some top quality full-backs in the Premier League at the moment.
What you’re judging them on is totally different to what maybe people would have judged the way I played.”
Throughout the best years of Klopp’s stay at Liverpool, his full-backs had been right at the heart of everything.
Alexander-Arnold is arguably one of the best to ever play the position, while Robertson shouldn’t be too far from that conversation either.
With Slot coming in though, it begs the question of how things will change.
