CONTROL IS KEY

While Liverpool maintained their renowned intensity and pressing, Arne Slot introduced a more measured and possession-oriented style.

Compared to previous campaigns plagued by injuries, the 2024–25 season saw a markedly healthier squad, thanks in part to Slot’s effective rotation policy.

Liverpool utilised 24 players in the Premier League, with the manager opting for a smaller squad, resulting in many plsyers remaining on the fringes.

This meant that Slot was happy with sending out the same crop of eleven players for the vast majority, but key assets such as Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Alexis Mac Allister were wrapped in cotton wool once the title was secured.

The strategic management of workloads, combined with advancements in conditioning and medical protocols, allowed Liverpool to maintain consistent performance levels and avoid the injury setbacks that had hindered previous seasons.

DISCIPLINED FULL-BACKSTrent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson have formed a world-class full-back partnership for Liverpool.

Slot’s substitutions and tactical adjustments were frequently decisive in altering the momentum of tight matches.

These interventions helped Liverpool maintain control in critical moments, turning potential draws or losses into vital victories.

Arne Slot’s inaugural season as Liverpool manager was marked by a blend of tactical refinement, strategic pragmatism, and effective squad management.

These tactical tweaks addressed shortcomings evident in previous seasons and maximized Liverpool’s collective strengths, resulting in a team capable of sustained excellence across a demanding campaign.

The Reds’ Premier League title was not simply a product of individual brilliance but a testament to a coherent tactical vision.

As the season draws to a close, attention will inevitably turn to the challenges ahead.

But with strong foundations now firmly in place, Liverpool and Arne Slot are well-positioned to build on this success.

They may already have their sights set on number twenty-one next season.
