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.

[HajiBagi]

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.

[Mr.right85]

 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.

[Velvet78]

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.

[shinratensei_]

You are not alone on this, I also do not think that Liverpool will complete for this season's English Premier League title. They have been in competition for this title for some time now and in the just concluded season they were major contender for the title but it was unfortunate that they meet at in the 11th hour with Arsenal. That was just a complete team with an experienced coach with a long track history of success in the club. But now that some of the team members of the club will be should missing and a new coach in place with new ideology and relationship. I think they will not be contenders this season. However, they will still make top 4.

It is logical to think so after Liverpool lost their coach Klopp after many successful seasons under his administration. A new coach will have his own challenge to struggle in a new club so success in a first season has minor chance to happen. Slot can help Liverpool to perform well and maintain their position in top four of Premier League, but it's unrealistic and almost impossible to compete for the league title against Manchester City and Arsenal.

I believe Arne Slot will do better than Chelsea's new coach. My point is Klopp has given Slot his legacy which is a complete squad that only lacks of depth. Also, the result from Liverpool's US tour has proven that if they're starting to gain the stability.
I think Slot can keep Liverpool's form. It can lead to a better finish than last season. That's pretty interesting to wait for how Slot's strategy will be working on EPL

Football always has space for surprise and underdogs to succeed but probability for it is very small.

You know, it's kinda weird to call Liverpool underdogs. I think Liverpool still remains as one of top team to compete for the title against City and Arsenal.

Arne Slot abilities and experience are no better than Klopp when he last coached Liverpool last season even though Klopp managed to bring Liverpool to the end of the season in 3rd place, it was very clear that their game was very inconsistent at the end of the season and I think if Arne Slot wanted to competing next season with the current squad, then it is difficult to see Liverpool being able to enter the competition for the championship trophy next season, Maintaining and relying on the current squad will be very risky for he career in liverpool next season because the current squad has many weaknesses and shortcomings, so it is difficult for them to maximize their performance to achieve every win next season, although so far Liverpool have been able to show a positive start by winning in friendly matches, but without recruiting new players to the squad, it is of course possible that Liverpool will be thrown out of the Champions League zone next season. .

Conor Gallagher is ready to leave Chelsea and sign for Atletico Madrid. The deal is worth €40m. When we consider the fact that he has grown from Chelsea, they are going to make a pretty good profit. 

But he is still going to be signed below his market value which is €50m. I believe he would fit right into Simeone's game plan. He would add more to the team in terms of defense and offense both. I think Chelsea shouldn't have sold him in the first place. But maybe signing Dewsbury-Hall pushed him to think of selling him. Because there are like 5 players whose main position is central midfield when we look at the squad.

[Marvell1]

They look good currently but pre season games shouldn’t be what you judge a team performance by, we all saw how Chelsea played well in the pre season last season but performed woefully when the league began. Some team don’t perform well in preseason but play well when the season starts. We will see if the squad is good enough compete soon because the premier league is a league you should expect a lot from even with smaller teams they can surprise you. Let’s just hope they maintain their performance and play well when the season starts.

Liverpool is one of the teams that currently hasn't got a single player in the transfer market and we don't know why they are too passive at the moment when other teams continue to strengthen their squad by bringing in several new players, Liverpool has  several friendly matches with positive results, But that doesn't mean we can say that they are ready to compete next season with Arsenal and Manchester City, friendly matches are not matches that show the true performance of a team so we can't guarantee that they will perform well next season even though they achieve positive results in friendly matches this time.

Last season, Liverpool performed quite well, although in the end they experienced inconsistency towards the end of the season due to injuries to several main players, so Arne Slot should try to bring in two or three new players to prevent last season bad luck from repeating , the majority of the Liverpool squad retained last season squad, however, I doubt that they will be able to compete next season if they don't bring in new players now to support and improve the quality of the old squad.

Arne Slot was very clear about Liverpool's transfer plans so far. As Klopp recruited a few players last season, he also knew on the back of his head that he would be leaving the club next season, and he left a squad for the future. A squad that has a lot of talent in it, and a lot of promising youth options too.

Arne Slot has been assessing the squad very well in the friendlies, he also added one more match for further assessment for the starter lads. You can see he has a plan and has a standard set to buy new players. Friendlies are not games you judge the games by, but you know what a coach wants in the team by watching them, and if you did, you would know very well about what Arne is doing at Liverpool.

Last season, Arsenal managed to become a team that had very good goal productivity along with Manchester City, but most of that the goals were created by wingers and midfielders, while only a few goals were created by central strikers and it could be said that Arsenal does not have a really sharp central striker and qualified last season, for midfielders I don't think Arsenal is too urgent at the moment even though they are in a position to recruit Merino from Real Sociedad, but compared to midfielders, I think  Arsenal really need s striker at the moment to support their chances of competing for EPL trophies next season, Arsenal does have Gabriel Jesus, Nketiah and Harvest who often fill the CF position, but they are still not capable enough to make Arsenal's front line dangerous so far, so currently Arsenal need an attacker who has a sharp instinct goal and reliable enough in goal scoring to be able to break Manchester City dominance next season.

There's no significant reason for selling this guy to be frank, I know how the management wanted him out for long until now even after all the effort he as put to remain in the team especially last season when he's often available while others are injured.
Anyway I wish Conor Gallagher Goodwick with a proper coaching with good pointers this guy will definitely become much more better and maybe even world class he as always been striving to become better right from his loan period till he is now sold.
While Chelsea continue to go for mid players selling Cobham stars they will continue to suffer from it since we can see how trashy is the defense now just imagine they kept Tomori and Marc Guéhi while some of the defenders are not even better than Trevor Chalobah

If we are to judge by the current situation and playing form of Liverpool then one might think that they are currently in form to kick start the premier league but these friendly games are not really all that serious so I won't draw any judgement from there but for the fact that you said that Liverpool needs extra players to survive the league is something that everyone can see sense in it because other teams will also be trying their very best to make their teams stronger and if Liverpool fails to upgrade then other teams will certainly overpower them.

It is quite an understatement to say that these friendly games are not really all that serious! I think they are worthless with regards to how a team might start into the new Premier League season. It doesn't matter which league you watch and which friendlies you consider, in 95% of the time the predictive power of those games is zero. You can even see it with these pre season finals for any cups that the teams play in the various leagues. The results often have nothing to do with what's actually going on in the league eventually.

Same thing for saying "Liverpool has no chance" like Helena Yu said. Why so absolutistic? What's the point in saying that Liverpool has no chance? I agree that Liverpool probably doesn't have a big chance, but from that perspective no team has a big chance to win the title except for Manchester City. If Manchester City again scores far over 80 points, what's the chance that Arsenal has a chance? What tells you that Arsenal will do better than Manchester City? Nothing tells me that's going to happen, yet I don't rule out the possibility that they have a small shot at the title. Same for Liverpool.

Arsenal's current strikers, Gabriel Jesus, Nketiah, and Havertz, are not scoring enough goals to help the team win trophies. Last season, Saka performed well, but Arteta should consider adding a new striker to the squad. If Saka is injured, there is no replacement. I'm not sure why Arteta is trying to sign defenders when their strikers aren't doing well; they need to sign a vital player in the front line. They should have said Arsenal won the league despite missing two chances in two seasons. Arsenal's ability to play possession ball is impressive, but they struggle to finish due to a lack of talented forwards. I hope Arsenal can acquire William from Athletic Bilbao. I feel Arsenal will be stronger since the child is incredibly skilled and can score goals, which he help his country win European trophies. However, based on what I've seen of Arteta, I doubt he will sign another player.

I would say it is not even about the squad, but playing style. Liverpool players are used to playing one way, because all of them played for Klopp, some for many years, some for a few years but they all did. Meaning that they are all used to playing for Klopp and his system.

This means that Slot will come in and make them play a style, now would that style be close to Klopp? We do not know, but if he plays like he did in Netherlands then it is going to be hard for Liverpool to adjust to that, would not be impossible but could happen.

I feel like if he does that, they will score a lot of goals and concede a lot of goals as well, we will get used to 3-2 type of results, and that doesn't mean anything good or bad, just means that it will take time. I feel like Arne Slot will not change the strategy too radically though, I think he will do fine and he just needs to focus on what they could do, if they can do fine then they are going to end up with a good result.

I think the best way to approach this would be giving him a few months. Expecting him to be great right away isn't really that easy, it is going to end up being something that will take some time, and we need to make sure that he gets enough time to show himself.

For the case of Napoli and osimien I think arsenal isn't ready to make such bold move because Napoli themselves have been very stubborn in trying to release the striker at an affordable price that would attract buyers. For the case of them trying to get a striker is one left for Mikel arteta to strategies on because the league is just around the corner and I think he might be waiting on last minutes to get an active striker.

We have everything to worry about because most of these players are yet to make precisely decision about their future. It's definitely going to be promising for the possible ends. Napoli have outstanding striker, Victor Osimhen. He's an amazing player and have made significant contributions to the club. Victor Osimhen will stay in Napoli because there's huge benefits for the Nigeria international. Victor Osimhen will make decisions that's profitable for the deal.

Indeed, so far, Arsenal has just signed for their back line, David Raya and Calafiori. And they do need a striker too.

1. Viktor Gyökeres vs Osimhen (striker)
There is still no clear certainty even though Arsenal is currently quite pressed for it. Between Viktor Gyökeres or Osimhen? What do you think?

2. Mikel Merino
Still in the personal agreement stage, there have been no official negotiations close to an agreement with Real Sociedad.

[RockBell]

Last season, Arsenal managed to become a team that had very good goal productivity along with Manchester City, but most of that the goals were created by wingers and midfielders, while only a few goals were created by central strikers and it could be said that Arsenal does not have a really sharp central striker and qualified last season, for midfielders I don't think Arsenal is too urgent at the moment even though they are in a position to recruit Merino from Real Sociedad, but compared to midfielders, I think  Arsenal really need s striker at the moment to support their chances of competing for EPL trophies next season, Arsenal does have Gabriel Jesus, Nketiah and Harvest who often fill the CF position, but they are still not capable enough to make Arsenal's front line dangerous so far, so currently Arsenal need an attacker who has a sharp instinct goal and reliable enough in goal scoring to be able to break Manchester City dominance next season.

for the past two season now arsenal have been doing a great job and am actually very impressed with what have been going on, and arteta have been trying to build arsenal for the past two season now and i think the strategy of reviving arsenal will actually be a go one, because for some time arsenal was rusty, and arteta is not doing bad at all at some point i was not satisfied but now i think is doing better than other clubs and now we have signed another defender we need to also sign another player to strike for us because one of the things weighing us down is that saka is not getting enough support that he actually deserves, if saka was getting enough support things would have gotten better than it as been because, i want this season to be different for arsenal.

Now one expected arsenal to have improved this way they did because the only challenge i feel that even Manchester city have is arsenal they are always scared of arsenal even this last season we were close to winning the trophy, we need a center striker and arteta should be taking not because the season will soon commence any moment from now because we need to be fully ready before the commencement of the next season, the moment we are able to sign another striker then we have a better chance of winning the EPL, Gabriel Jesus is also trying but at this point we want more. i don't even know if arteta have any player in mind, If he as in mind then he should start making moves we don't have time.
