Coming into the Premier League season there was much doubt and consternation amongst pundits who had many Liverpool questions to ask. An endless list of pundits suggested this would be a down season with Klopp leaving Anfield. With Mo Salah, Virgil Van Dijk, and Trent Alexander Arnold on expiring contracts many are also questioning if the side will be able to remain competitive going forward.
How Liverpool 2024-25 Has Addressed Changes
Arne Slot has added a focus on team defending which has helped to improve league performance and results this season. The endless competitions continue to effect all teams negatively and that is life these days. All clubs have to maintain deep benches to endure the never-ending competitions in which top clubs compete. Injuries are simply a harsh reality for all. So if Liverpool is “overperforming” as many say, we argue that is simply not true. They are more diligent on the field this season, possibly due to the endless pundits or due to a mixture of that and Slot doing a great job.Liverpool Questions We Need to Be Asking
Despite some positivity at Anfield, we concede there are major questions looming.- What about next season?
- Will Alexander Arnold go to Real Madrid?
- Will Salah and Van Dijk leave? If all do, what will that mean for Liverpool?
- Do they need to replace similar people in each role?
- How do they consider their depth at the 6 position?
- Is the most expensive player, Darwin Nunez, playing up to expectations?
- If Salah leaves could he find himself having a bigger role?
- Would that keep the team in top form?
