Snip.
The squad at Liverpool currently is one which if slot can come up with proper strategy to get them in good form of which I believe they already have such form, they can actually go contending for the champions league, they have good players to fit in even with the absence of Jota. Other teams have their own strength so does Liverpool ànd if they are able to explore it in a manner that will be to their advantage, the strength of other team will not be something they will have to bother about.
Arne Slot current squad has qualified to be among the favorites to win the Champions League trophy, but Liverpool success in this competition depends on Slot ability to put together the team and motivate the players to always maintain their best performance. Currently still in the early stages of the title race, Slot still has time to evaluate any shortcomings in his team.
Other teams have also formed new strengths to achieve the same goal, Real Madrid for example, they have made a major overhaul to make up for last season's failure, Alonso was brought in to replace Ancelotti and several talented young players who have just been brought in have also begun to show their class after wearing the Madrid Jersey. Ultimately there is only one team left to lift the trophy, if Slot wants Liverpool to reach the top of the competition, he needs to keep his team's performance consistent because only win after win can lead Liverpool to win the title race.
