And, although they were impressive last season, it’s clear that Slot felt like his team needed upgrading across the board.
One of Liverpool’s transfers that didn’t really cause all that much of a stir in the summer was the exit of Tyler Morton.
The midfielder had an impressive season on loan with Hull City during the 2023-24 campaign and, although he likely expected to be called up to the Reds’ first-team squad more last season, he ended up staying in their reserves.
When Jurgen Klopp was in charge, Morton was given a fair few games, but, in reality, it was Bajcetic who he saw taking over from Fabinho upon his departure.
However, after a year filled with injuries, Bajcetic didn’t get up to much either, and, while McConnell may now be spending a season on loan with Ajax, it’s Morton who’s thriving.
“No player in Europe’s top five leagues has made more penalty area entries (29) or made more accurate crosses (10) than Tyler Morton so far this season,” they wrote.
“Enjoying life in Lyon.”
The particularly interesting part of this tweet is the fact that he’s had the most accurate crosses out of all of Europe’s top five leagues.
