The Reds may have been one of the most dominant teams in the Premier League last season, but that didn’t stop the Dutchman from finding and acquiring players to improve his squad.
This season, anything but a Premier League or Champions League win will be seen as a failure, especially since they finally managed to sign Alexander Isak for £125million.
For most of the 2025-26 summer transfer window, fans expected to see Isak in a Liverpool shirt.
However, as we got into the final few days of the window and the Sweden international still wasn’t a Liverpool player, fans began to worry.
He’s a good player, but I don’t think it’s all over just because he’s signed.
What Slot has now is a lot of head-scratching, because he’s got big decisions to make with very good players.”
When Liverpool managed to prise Hugo Ekitike from the hands of Newcastle this summer, nobody expected him to be as good as he has been.
At the moment, it’s unclear how things are going to work at Liverpool, but one thing is for sure: it’s certainly a good problem for Slot to have, especially if he wants to retain the Premier League title.
