Honestly folks, this might be up there with the Kolo lean. It is almost inexpressible what the significance of this particular rendition is trying to communicate - in an instant, the symbolic imagery evokes a sense of anticipation for the future and the opportunities to come (note how the lower half is partially oriented towards the badge); while the upper half is firmly aimed at the viewer - which represents both the supporters, and the footballing world at large. Like the Sun and the Moon - yin and yang - the contrasting-parts comprise the whole, and you'll notice the subtle leaning into the wall, which signifies the foundation this new era is built upon, i.e. those giants upon whose shoulders we stand. All signed and sealed within the facial expression: a firm, and held gaze. The mouth positioned as a semi-serious smirk, signifying the excitement and joy to come; but also, when taken together with the eyes - pointed, direct, assured - this shows that there's both an appreciation for the club's past, but also to reveal the serious nature that the role entails. All in all: Arne Slot is THAT guy. 8.5/10 lean. While Kolo remains on top, this one has taken me by storm, and in a way - this posture almost invites the viewer/supporter to imitate the implied attitude/orientation of the new boss: appreciation for the past, excitement for the future, but with a measure of poise and seriousness to respect the Club and the work required to keep us on our perch.

Feel like this comment got transported from this sub in 2016


UnlimitedFoxes

In many ways, it did.

Bugsmoke

This is the greatest lean of all time


effinblinding

Oh wow i wasn’t expecting that


DyaLoveMe

One of the best leans, but not even his best. The shower curtain lean is #1.

jokingsammy

There is a small part of me that misses the Rodgers years.


Bugsmoke

It was exciting winning every game 4-3 and online spaces were much better when we were a bit shit tbf


PraiseBeDavidSegui

I hope Pepe returned that guys lion king dvd


Bugsmoke

Me too


nmak06

We had a particularly exciting left back arriving from Valencia.


cynicalreason

8.5 ????? 8.5 !?!?!?!?! are you joking ? I can't remember the last time we had such a clear lean, elbow and all, hands together, the turn of the foot ... the shine off the forehead, my friend, this is 9.5 at least


skullpture_garden

That made me feel like I was back in art school

Slot has to lean/ stand that way with legs apart ... blessed with big '*cojones*' 🍊🍊/born that way! (/joke) ... All the best Arne Slot. (*"Na Na Na Na Na"*) https://preview.redd.it/41ie2ni9mn7d1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=9dfbbcfe6f3f810217f8630305eec6c90986e12a

Zeewolf93

Ofcourse I have it's Mr Mackeys infamous drugs are bayyd speech. Just trying to have laugh


outdeh

Full apologies then good sir. Mr Mackey, while meaning well, was clearly full of shit lol


Suburban_Noir

Genuinely thought earlier today about how much I miss the silliness of the Lean era. Can't believe we're still living in it 😂 fair play, social team.


BurtReynoldsLives

It can never die so long as we keep the ancient ways alive.


Maneisthebeat

As long as it keeps the engagement machine happy, it will continue!


whoaaa_O

This is now part of the club'a traditions 😁


mtortinho

Incredible form here, the slightly bend knee and clasped hands coupled with the locking eyes with every fan through the camera lens makes this a powerful lean from Slot, 10/10


SeveralTable3097

He knew we’d be sizing him up with this picture, and he took to initiative to size every single fan up with it as well. Touché, Slot. Man is going places (winners podium)


cynicalreason

Top post has it at 8.5/10 .. how are people upvoting this stuff, 9.5 MINIMUM


Designer_Raspberry_5

"I know you can read my thoughts, boy. Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow"


PabFOz

Don’t be intimidated … try to imagine him in his underwear …


FUCKSTORM420

Oh no, he’s hot!


Banyabbaboy

He's Slot, he's hot We know he's got the lot Arne Slot! Arne Slot!


VadersMentor

If this chant goes off on live TV I'm gonna actually lose my shit lmao


RidsBabs

Now I’m even more intimidated


Wide_Environment3107

The lean! It's almost an optical illusion with his tracksuit....makes it look like he has the longest legs and shortest torso in the world....Joel Matip legs!


DunkingTea

I’m going go struggle to warm to him when he looks exactly like a Project manager at my work who is fucking useless. I’m betting he’s his long lost brother and Slot got all the talent, with his brother (the PM) got none.


KGeedora

I'm Australian and this Slot looks like Peter Dutton (one of the worst prick politicians ever). It's brutal


big-rabbit

The potato’s never been that shiny


RedDemio-

Ah ya beauty


dweebyllo

What a lean son, what a lean


Wonderful_Ad_2519

That slight shoulder drop...thats a tribute to.bobbi dropping his shoulder and running through the arsenal defence and scoring


ChargeWooden1036

Impressive lean, look at that feet positioning, the way his hands are. The stare, this is a legendary lean right there, not even the greats (my uncle with a beer) could match this


Pa1D

I guess you could say he's really leaning into his new job


rascalmendes

10/10 lean


sdpat13

Happy cake day!


Smooth-Friendship699

10/10 lean.


kazez2

Beautiful. When was the last time we had a proper lean


harlsonrd

Solid 9/10 lean that


alanalan426

WE ARE SO BACK [from one lean to another](https://static.independent.co.uk/2022/04/28/17/GettyImages-1394236755.jpg?quality=75&width=1250&crop=3%3A2%2Csmart&auto=webp)

Giving the people what they want!😂


bezzzerk

Imagine being an opposition manager, at anfield, 3-0 down at half time. You look over to the Liverpool dugout and this is what you see.


sbos_

Can we get an analysis


sdpat13

Happy cake day!


Bugsmoke

I’ve decided I quite like Slot, seems like a great guy. I really hope he cracks on.


yolo___toure

Lean on https://youtu.be/rn9AQoI7mYU?si=0DZl05hZF4Ba-UD_


Wunse

Beautiful. It's about time we were fed a lean, I've been starving. Set us up for some good ol' plane tracking and van action in a few weeks. Can't wait.


tooskinttogotocuba

I’ve seen better leans, but I heard that he squats with aplomb


BuddySteeze

He’s proper, just watched the interview on YT. We couldn’t have signed a better man for the job right now - for real


TheLimeyLemmon

There is no life without lean.


RobotPizzaMaker

If Arnie was actually completely stuck to something sticky, but acted like he was just leaning confidently to fool the camera guy, he succeeded


Fazlic

What a lean!


TheOnionSack

Even Alan Partridge would be proud of that one.


Klopps_and_Schlobers

What an amazing haircut this blokes got 10/10


whoaaa_O

How can he lean so casually, yet so confidently? Truly an elite lean. 10/10

Anck-su-namun!


CaptainCloudyL

If Arne Slot has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Arne Slot has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Arne Slot has only one fan then that is me. If Arne Slot has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Arne Slot, then I am against the world.


crackernibbles

He understood the assignment. Clearly has the same ethos as the club


Various_Ad2320

Gives me David Brent vibes ![gif](giphy|GI26PLcTLEUo0)

Games back


SRMspzl

Kolo is the lean that all leans are measured against. Kolo/10

Power lean

Throwaway1293524

Yeah I see it. I see the vision, I'm convinced. The next 52 prem titles are ours.


Throwaway1293524

We need Patrick Bateman to comment on this lean

CraftRelevant1223

He should grow a beard


MoleMoustache

A 10 pixel lean. Can't we have actual photographs with actual pixels?
