Slot gave all best last season to win the Premier League trophy for Liverpool without signing players, this upcoming season the Liverpool board have to adhere to Slot demands of signing new players to the team because him and the boys can't do magic again to the team when other squad are making their teams to be more formidable than it is last season. Liverpool have to prepare beforehand if they wants to stand a chance of lifting the Premier League trophy in the 2025/2026 season
That's simply because Kloop left a very good squad for him to inherit. If you noticed, Kloop Liverpool earned more points and scored more goal in his two previous consecutive seasons but still didn't win the league because Pep's Manchester was on fire. It's verifiable, if Manchester City didn't decline last season, Slot wouldn't have won the league as he did last season.
It's one thing to inherit a very good squad and another thing is managing them properly, if Slot wasn't a good manager he wouldn't have won the league with that squad so let's not give Klopp all the praises and forget to acknowledge Arne Slots good effort last season, some coach would had finished in a good spot even with that squad Klopp left for him.
Also, Arne Slots success last season wasn't dependent on City's decline, Liverpool kept a very good record in the league last season while Manchester City were drawing and throwing away points, Liverpool were winning their matches and adding to their points, they top the runners up Arsenal with about 10 points.
I agree with Princess Leah here. I think inheriting a good squad can be such a big present from your predecessor. When you think about the coaches that became the successors of prime Guardiola Barcelona, it was like Christmas for them. They still had to manage the team and you could see that Koeman for example couldn't do it as well, but it's a huge advantage.
Slot did much better than expected, but he benefitted from two main conditions. One is that he did indeed inherit an outstanding squad from Klopp and that is a big deal. The second big advantage he had last season was that there was no competition. Remember the seasons when Liverpool and Man City were head to head until the last day and it was only a point and goal difference. The pressure never stopped and the tiniest of mistakes could cost them the title. It wasn't like that last season. In that regard last season was more of a relaxing walk than a marathon. Liverpool was the best team by far in the first 30 matches, but the other teams were losing points all the time. After 13 weeks into the season, Liverpool was leading by 9 points and Arsenal and Chelsea followed them with a rate of merely above 50% winning their games.
