When Arne Slot stepped in to replace Jürgen Klopp, many fans were doubtful: could the new manager handle the pressure and keep the standards just as high? Klopp had built an entire era at Anfield — full of passion, trophies, and a unique style of play. Replacing such a figure seemed almost impossible. But that is exactly what makes the story so fascinating. For supporters across the globe Liverpool is more than just a club; it’s a symbol of resilience and football tradition. That’s why every change sparks huge discussions.

Slot’s first season: an unexpected triumph

The first campaign of Slot (2024/25) exceeded all expectations. Liverpool won the Premier League title by defeating Tottenham 5-1 while securing the championship with four matches remaining in the season. The Dutchman achieved a historic milestone by winning the Premier League in his inaugural season as he became the first Dutch coach and one of the few overall to achieve this feat. The fans discovered that life after Klopp was not only possible but also highly successful.

A new style and growing stability

The boldest decision that Slot made was to switch from the traditional 4-3-3 formation to a more balanced 4-2-3-1 system. This tactical change provided stability to the midfield, thanks to the reliable partnership of Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister, who defended the defense and allowed the team to dictate the pace of the match. It made it more difficult for the opposition to launch counterattacks against Liverpool, while the Reds gained better control over the ball.

Slot paid equal attention to the development of each player as an individual. Gravenberch excelled as a defender and won the «Best Young Player of the Season» award, while McAllister became a leading midfielder who stopped opponents’ attacks and created scoring opportunities for his team. The new coach brought about a much-needed change, allowing the young players to gain experience while improving their skills.

Season 2025/26: the battle is just beginning

The main question at present is whether Liverpool can retain their title. The team appears more organized and self-assured and has received beneficial summer transfers. The Reds maintain their position as title contenders because of their improved squad.

The Premier League competition has reached its highest level of intensity during this season. The Premier League title race will be extremely competitive because Arsenal and Manchester City and Chelsea and Newcastle United are all competing intensely. The key factor in success depends on how fast the new players can learn Slot’s system and the fast-paced nature of English football.

The upcoming season will deliver many thrilling moments to fans who support Liverpool both in Vietnam and worldwide. Every Liverpool match will be more than just a game — it will be an event. The main question remains whether we are entering a new era under Arne Slot or if last season’s victory was a brief magical experience.
