It appears as if Slot goes to win the Premier League in his first season, though till final weekend’s outcomes I truly was not too assured about that, regardless of Liverpool’s lead on the high of the desk.
The group have seemed exhausted in latest weeks, with lack of rotation one of many causes for that.
It felt as if there was much more belief within the squad within the first half of the marketing campaign. Since then, Slot has virtually reverted to a sure group and they’re beginning to look a bit drained, and much more susceptible.
I’m definitely not criticising Slot, as a result of to do what he has completed with a group he has inherited remains to be unimaginable, however I really feel he is aware of he must strengthen and that we are going to see the distinction subsequent season when he has the squad depth he desires.
Even when Liverpool have seemed heavy-legged, Slot has hardly given a sniff to Elliott or Federico Chiesa in midfield or up entrance. He both does not belief them, or feels they aren’t suited to his system.
It is the identical with Jarell Quansah. He was on the bench towards Fulham however, when Konate got here off, Ryan Gravenberch dropped again to centre-half as a substitute.
Regardless of the motive, it feels virtually a case the place Slot is getting throughout the road utilizing this squad this season, and there are going to be wholesale modifications in the summertime.
It makes what he has completed in such a brief area of time much more spectacular, particularly dealing with the contract problems with three of his largest stars on the similar time too.
