⚽ Premier League 2024/2025 Discussion Thread ⚽

There is nothing difficult for Arne Slot to develop the strength of Liverpool quality performance. Currently, Liverpool has inherited from Klopp which is already very perfect and Arne Slot only needs a little improvement in some of Liverpool playing styles which are still a little bad, such as the defense line which looked a little weak last season. Now we can see for ourselves that Liverpool line-up is very good and does not lose their mainstay player Mohamed Salah and he is one of Liverpool best finishers and the new coach needs a little time to understand all the skills of the players. Maybe, Arne Slot will not be in a hurry, he will only improve slowly as long as the team management is willing to give a chance in the future, Liverpool will be a strong team like a few seasons ago.

I don't think so, if Arne Slot is stay with the current squad without add few new players, Liverpool will not going anywhere, they will either stuck in second position or lower. Picking new players from the Academy is good, but they will not able to compete with big teams, they need to sign players in prime age like 25-30 years old.

This season, either Manchester City or Arsenal will become champion, Liverpool has no chance.

I am sure that Liverpool will be fine, I cannot say if they are going to end up being in the title race again or not, but last season they were leading the league until a very last moment, then they lost points back to back after that Atalanta loss, I guess their morale just got destroyed after that, and they finished third because of the points lost on that period.

Will Arne Slott be similar to Klopp and keep the team going? Will he make them play a good football? I am not entirely sure and we are going to see, but until then I just assume that they are going to be a top four team no matter what since that's their level. Without that, if they finish worse, then I do not think that they are going to end up any good.

It is very important to complain about Liverpool for not making any move to signing new players, but from what I’ve seen with Liverpool so far I believe Liverpool can still play well and make a good position for next season even if they didn’t win a trophy, Liverpool is one of the best teams that have young talent players in the premier league and with their performances in pre-season you will see that Liverpool can still beat some teams in the league, Liverpool did not sell any of their important players and Arne slot believe that those players are capable of playing the kind of games he wants.

I don’t think we should complain about Liverpool now since the team has a coach and a coach is the one that will be the one to complain if he wants new players or not, I understand that as a fan of a team, you have a right to also complain about the team you support but I think we all should calm down for what Liverpool new manager is doing, he is a new coach and we need to let him do what he wants to do because we don’t know what he’s planning to improve the team.

 I don’t think Arsenal are ready for the season yet. Whatever is causing delay with signing an attacker and midfielder needs to be wrapped up asap. They hold on to average players and players needing to be sold or released too much thereby hurting their chances of signing level raisers who could have been of tremendous help in their title charge.

 There are X factor players out there and they could have been able to get one if they didn’t continually put their money in other areas.

They could easily have gotten a proper CF at last season if they added small money to the money we spent on Kai Havertz.

Osimhen is available now and they first had to splash on a defender. Another £50M added to Calafiori’s money would have been tempting for Napoli. There’s also Sporting Lisbon striker Gyokeres.

Honestly, there have never been a transfer window where there are available strikers in the market, but they always turn their eyes away.

The percentage is small for a new coach to be able to provide better, especially since the competition in the Premier League is quite competitive, so I doubt Arne Slot can make Liverpool better than last season in Arne Slot's first season, especially if he doesn't make many changes to this team.

Indeed, in some pre-seasons Liverpool looked quite good, but that does not guarantee that it can continue for a full season later, maybe Arne Slot has not felt the real test, I'm sure he will feel it in the competition next season.

Man City and Arsenal are quite strong, so of course these two teams are still favored to be able to win the Premier League title next season, if there are no big surprises.

Liverpool need to bring in new players even though the squad left by Jurgen Klopp performed as expected last season. Every season always presents different competition, Liverpool will also play in the Champions League and FA Cup, the tight schedule makes them need to bring in new players to anticipate if there is an injury factor and Arne Slot also needs to rotate players in different matches.

Last season their performance in the EPL was not too disappointing, but this season there will be a fiercer competition in the title race because their rivals have successfully brought in several new players in preparation for this season's competition. Liverpool still have a chance as long as they can perform optimally, Arne Slot's ability will be tested in his first season and he must do his best to make Liverpool a contender in the title hunt.

What day precisely please? Saturday or Sunday?

It is going to be on Saturday (August 10).

Manchester United has been disappointing in the transfer window after the first two done.

As long as they don't make more transfers I'm not sure if there will be a lot changing. But if he at least doesn't have to deal with serious injury problems this time, maybe we could see a better team.

I just want to see them staying in top 4 race until the end of the season. I don't have an expectation like a title challenge yet. It wouldn't be realistic. Especially while they are still not taking transfer topic very serious.    I believe they should sign another CB such as de Ligt. And a good DM if possible because of Casemiro's not being reliable enough anymore.
