Pre-season matches are not a reference in measuring team performance at all, but it is also important enough to focus on before entering the competition. Liverpool have not made any breakthroughs in the transfer window, I think this is very strange because on average if the new coach will definitely bring in some new players to his squad, I don't understand Slot whether he has trusted all of Klopp's legacy squad? interesting, we wait for the Reds' breakthroughs this season. Meanwhile, Enzo Maresca is also enjoying his transition period and it seems he still hasn't found the right formula to make The Blues able to compete at the top of the EPL this season.
Pre-season matches are not a special benchmark, but if you have to reflect a little, there's nothing wrong with it. When playing against Man United who are known to be active in the transfer market, they were still unable to beat Liverpool format which was still the same and suffered a 0-3 defeat. This means that there is no guarantee that actively bringing in players can have a positive impact if the selection of players is not right.
It is not surprising that Liverpool is less active in the transfer market because this club seems a bit stingy in terms of spending money. In addition, Arne Slot currently wants to try to continue the existing squad composition and is considered to still provide promising performance for him next season. Although for us who want to see the hunt, so far Liverpool has been a club that is very quiet in bringing in players.
