It's also definitely about evolving the ones we brought in last season and the ones we already have longer."And I think there's a lot to be won for us to win in things we can improve compared to this season. "And hopefully signing one or two players can even accelerate that evolvement."Looking back at this season, though, Slot knows his side just have not been good enough at both ends, but particularly at the back where they have conceded a whopping 52 goals with still Sunday's final game with Brentford to come, the most ever in a 38-game Premier League campaign."Now, first of all, win a bit more," he said when asked what he would do differently this season."We've conceded far too many goals because the team that has won the league this season has shown how important it is to play off the ball, so when you're not in possession.
