Liverpool is making a strong push across four competitions this season, and while the Carabao Cup is still in play, some believe the Reds’ future success lies firmly within the Premier League. Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher voiced concerns that the team's manager, Arne Slot, may be spreading his focus too thin. Carragher emphasized that prioritizing the league should be the top goal, as it represents the club’s best chance for silverware. He recalled how last season, despite ambitions of winning multiple trophies, Liverpool ended with just one, a reminder of the risks involved in juggling too many challenges.
Despite these concerns, Slot has been praised for how he’s managing player health and fitness, keeping most of his squad in good shape. The team has had some injury setbacks, including issues with Alisson and Jota, but currently, only Joe Gomez is sidelined. Slot has acknowledged that the team's fitness level has been a key asset, especially with the busy fixture schedule ahead. This approach appears to be paying off, as Liverpool's performance has been strong across the board.
Under Arne Slot, Liverpool's playing style has undergone a transformation. While the team still maintains a high pressing game, there is now an added sense of control and balance in their play. Midfielder Wataru Endo highlighted how the squad feels more stable in their positions despite the aggressive pressing tactics, and the changes seem to be paying dividends. Fewer injuries have been reported this season, signaling the effectiveness of Slot's methods in ensuring the team's durability throughout a grueling campaign.
As the season progresses, the true test will be whether these adjustments can lead to a significant trophy haul. The Carabao Cup may be a distraction, but winning the Premier League would be a monumental achievement for both Slot and the club. Carragher believes that if Slot can deliver the league title, he’ll secure his place in Liverpool’s history, but any other cup triumphs will not carry the same weight.
