Liverpool's stars now have the green light to give Jurgen Klopp a fitting send-off with one final blast of heavy-metal football.With Feyenoord boss Arne Slot ­officially set to become his ­successor next week, Liverpool players can ­finally free their minds of uncertainty and send their German boss off in style in their final three games.

All the recent speculation about Xabi Alonso, Ruben Amorim, Roberto De Zerbi, Ange Postecoglou and then Dutchman Slot has done no one at Anfield any good – least of all Klopp’s players.

In fact, I knew nothing about Slot at all or the way he plays and, ­probably like many people, I dived into Google to check him out.

He’s done OK at Feyenoord the last couple of seasons, but only time will tell if he can take Liverpool to greater heights than Klopp managed.

Arne Slot is expected to become Liverpool's new manager.

You could see against Everton, and even against West Ham, it wasn’t the performance of a Klopp team – ­everything was off.

People might say the players are paid to play, so get on with it, but it’ll be tough for them.

The familiarity they’ve known is going to change and there’s going to be a transition because Klopp is a force of nature and the new man, whoever it is, won’t be the same.

That’s why it’s important, as they did with Jurgen, that Liverpool pick the right character fit for the club ­because tough times might be ahead.

They’ve done really well with their due diligence on players and I’m ­certain they are right about Slot!
