Arne Slot defied the odds last season and managed to win the Premier League title at the first time of asking. Mohamed Salah had the best season of his career with 57 goal contributions, which likely helped, but now that they have Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, it should be much easier for them to win.

But, after selling over £200million worth of players, it’s not all that surprising to see that a vast amount of change occurred.However, since so much money has been spent, many expected them to run away with the league, with Allardyce even saying that the Reds were “no better” than they were last season. “The trouble is they’ve spent all this money and they’re no better,” he said on the No Tippy Tappy Football Podcast.“When I’ve talked about doing too much too soon before, finishing higher in the Premier League than you should do.

You’ve beaten all the odds, and if you fall below that in the next season, then you’re no good again.“So, he’s spent all that money and then the word starts ‘oo we spent all this money and we’re no better’”Liverpool need to return from the international break with a bangThe fact that Manchester United will be the first team that Liverpool face upon their return from the international break will either be a really good thing or a really bad thing.Before the break, it looked like the Reds had no plan or vision about how to get out of this rut they find themselves in. At the moment, it’s unclear who Slot will choose to start the game with, but, unless they come back with a bang on Sunday, it feels unlikely that they’ll be challenging for the Premier League title by the end of the season.
