Jürgen Klopp’s successor is unfazed by the lack of signings at Anfield as he strives to close the gap on Manchester City
Slot has adapted swiftly to Liverpool’s players and they to his meticulous attention to detail on the evidence of an encouraging pre-season that included victories over Real Betis, Arsenal, Manchester United and Sevilla. Calmer and more controlled in possession than the Jürgen Klopp era, in keeping with the contrasting personalities of the two men, Slot’shave also impressed in front of goal as they look to remedy a flaw from last season. But that was pre-season.
“That question is a difficult one to see before we play the first game,” Slot says when asked whether Liverpool could build on last season’s third-placed finish. “You always have to see the qualities of the others. We know the qualities of them but where they are at the moment, how they improve and if they improve, and the same for us. It is too early to say where are we, if we are are up there, above them or beneath them.
Slot may be surprised by the fixation with transfers in the Premier League – or perhaps its obsession with money – but there is good reason for it in Liverpool’s case. His employers are the only Premier League club not to have made a signing ahead of the new season.
