00:00as Liverpool have secured their 20th top flight English title

00:07drawing level with Manchester United

00:09and cementing their place at the very pinnacle of English football

00:13now the big question is asked

00:15could this be a start of another era of dominance at Anfield

00:19I spoke to Will Rooney of Liverpool World

00:21to get a sense of the mood around the club

00:23and the feeling is one of excitement

00:25but also of determination

00:27under Arnish Lott Liverpool have shown tactical maturity

00:30strength in depth and a resilience that has carried them

00:34through the season's toughest moments

00:36with a strong care of experienced leaders

00:40a new wave of young talent emerging

00:42and smart recruitment expected in the summer

00:45Liverpool look well placed to build on their success

00:48after reclaiming their crown

00:50Liverpool now face a new challenge

00:52not just to win but to set new standards

00:55and usher in another dominant chapter

00:57in their storied history

00:59so Will looking at Liverpool

01:02and in terms of this sort of new era

01:04under Arnish Lott now

01:05you know when he first came in

01:07not many predicted he'd go on to be this dominant

01:09in his first season

01:11obviously Jurgen Klopp took time

01:13to win his first sort of titles as well

01:15let's just look ahead

01:17let's predict maybe

01:18Arnish Lott's era

01:20this new era

01:21this start

01:22because they've got all the foundations there

01:24to carry it on

01:25Arnish Lott's not going to want to settle

01:27he's going to want to really make a strong charge

01:29to defend that title next season

01:32and then in the coming years as well

01:33this could be a real start of a great era for Liverpool

01:36how do you sort of sit

01:37where do you sort of compare it to other previous seasons

01:41and how sort of confident are you

01:44that they are going to go on

01:45and make sure this period is a long lasting one

01:48and one that you know Reds fans can be really proud of

01:51yeah I think it started

01:53last season

01:55that Jurgen Klopp

01:56he calls it Liverpool 2.0

01:57because he knew that

01:58that first team had come to the end of its cycle

02:01and obviously Liverpool replenished the midfield

02:03and Arnish Lott's built on that

02:06now

02:06what supporters would want

02:09is a better title defence

02:10than they did last time

02:12because yeah

02:13the season was in COVID

02:14and there was a real defensive crisis

02:17but they didn't really make it

02:19a decent fist of defending the title

02:23I don't think anyone's expecting Liverpool next season

02:26to go and win three, four trophies

02:28but Arnish Lott's made it clear

02:30that a club like Liverpool

02:31should always be challenging for Silverware

02:34and he said that

02:35he said that they're going to bring in

02:37a couple of players to freshen things up

02:39so make sure that they do that

02:41look it's going to be competitive next season

02:44you're going to expect Man City

02:45to be back at their end of the season

02:47in a good vein of form

02:48what are Arsenal going to do

02:49Newcastle are on a real upward trajectory

02:52and if they get in the Champions League

02:54they could have money to spend

02:55and teams like Chelsea, Aston Villa

02:58you can't predict what they might do

03:00so I don't think that Liverpool are going to become

03:04this dominant force like they were in the 80s

03:07I don't think anyone expects that

03:08to be honest with you

03:09I don't think anyone expects them

03:11to go back to that period

03:13because it is so competitive

03:15and so hard to compete week in, week out

03:19especially money wise

03:22we know Liverpool's owners

03:23they work on a self-sustainable basis

03:27and even if they want to throw money at it

03:29PSR these days

03:30you can't just do that

03:32but I do think it's a new

03:37you know, this Liverpool 2.0

03:38going into its third season

03:40its second under Arna Slott

03:41this is when maybe you expect it to start

03:44hitting its peak

03:45this is when you

03:46they're ahead of the curve

03:48and even Arna Slott said that

03:50he expected that

03:51you know, when he came in

03:51he said that

03:53a top four challenge

03:56was what was expected from the owners

03:58really

03:58have a look around

03:59and see

04:00you know, he's come out as a setback

04:01so they're ahead of the curve

04:02but that doesn't mean that Liverpool can now regress

04:05just because they've won the title

04:07they need to keep kicking on

04:10and they need to keep challenging

04:13as I say

04:13for Silverware on all fronts

04:15they probably need to make a better go

04:17in Europe next season

04:19because albeit they were knocked out by PSG

04:20but it was the last 16

04:22it was the quarter finals

04:23in the Europa League

04:24the season before

04:25it was the last 16

04:27in the Champions League

04:28the season before that

04:29so within the upper echelons

04:31of head coaches

04:33managers

04:33in Europe

04:35because I think

04:36a lot of people agree

04:37he's up there now

04:38but can he take himself

04:39to the next level

04:40can he really prove

04:41I am as good

04:42as what he says there
