Liverpool considered title contenders based on last season's triumph rather than their spending in the current market
Liverpool is gearing up for the 2022-2023 Premier League season with ambitious plans to retain their crown, according to manager Arne Slot. The Reds have their sights set on another successful campaign, building on their impressive performance in the previous season.
Slot, however, is quick to clarify that Liverpool's favouritism is not attributed to their close-season transfer activity. Instead, the team's strategy revolves around maximizing the prolific scoring and assist contributions of Mohamed Salah, while reinforcing their midfield to maintain dominance.
The midfield trio of Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara, and Jordan Henderson has been considered key but aging and injury-prone. In light of this, Liverpool has prioritized strengthening the central and defensive midfield positions in the transfer market. The defence remains solid but is seen as potentially vulnerable on the right, a weakness that could be exploited by rivals like Arsenal.
Liverpool aims to sustain their attacking threat and midfield control to defend the title they won in the previous season. The team's strategy moving forward is to manage squad fitness and rotations carefully to sustain performance through multiple competitions.
In the 2022-2023 season, Liverpool had a highly successful campaign, winning the Premier League, several domestic cups, and European titles. Salah scored 30 goals and provided 16 assists in 51 appearances, underlining his critical role. However, concerns about midfield depth and the impact of injuries influenced Klopp's strategy moving forward.
In subsequent seasons, Liverpool continued to defend their title, with Salah again leading in goals and assists and the team maintaining strong defensive records. However, they faced stiff competition from Manchester City and Arsenal, who saw Liverpool’s defensive and right wing vulnerabilities as opportunities.
