Liverpool bid farewell to Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson at Anfield with a guard of honour during a draw against Brentford. Champions League qualification was already secure, so attention centered on the two players leaving after nine years. Arne Slot, appointed as head coach in June 2024, was chosen because Liverpool’s hierarchy wanted a comparable approach to the club’s traditions rather than the exact same style as Jurgen Klopp. Slot emphasized a ball-dominant, high-energy model inspired by Pep Guardiola and Klopp, focused on turning games around when they become difficult. Slot’s debut season delivered a Premier League title with only two losses, averaging 2.4 points per game in the first 34 league matches and winning most matches after scoring first.
"In a stunning debut season, Slot's Liverpool romped to the Premier League title, losing just two games before the trophy was sealed in April 2025. In their first 34 league games, Liverpool averaged 2.4 points per game. The style was certainly not 'heavy metal', but they were measured in possession and experts in game management - winning 21 of the 23 games when they scored first."
