A look at how Slot will setup as defending champions of England.

Transcript

00:00Well, no matter what happens outside in terms of the transfer window,

00:06in terms of other clubs strutting their stuff as well,

00:08Liverpool will go into this season as defending Premier League champions.

00:12Now, if they were to draw a board for Arne Schlott in the summer this season,

00:17what will that say in terms of goals for the season?

00:19Because, you know, last season we spoke a number of times

00:22and a lot of fans would have settled just for being Premier League champions.

00:26Does he really need to go one more this season?

00:28Is defending it going to be the main goal?

00:30And then, you know, where does the Champions League come in?

00:32Where do these other trophies come in as well?

00:34Because, you know, the more the merrier when it comes to a bit of a trophy haul at Liverpool.

00:38Yeah, I mean, firstly, I think we've got to discuss it in the sense of the subject,

00:42which is obviously the pass to Diogo Giotta, which has been tragic.

00:46And that's been the focus for the past couple of weeks.

00:49And how will that affect the squad?

00:54Because it was such a tragedy, he was such a popular member of the squad.

00:58Will that really rock the team or will that galvanise and think,

01:05right, let's go and do it for Diogo?

01:06You would like to hope it would be the latter.

01:12And look, come back to your original point,

01:15the targets from FSG will be, again, to challenge for the Premier League.

01:21Liverpool have got no excuses now because of the signings that they've made.

01:24There are 200 million, Frank Pong coming in and Milos Kierkez looks really good in his cameo at Preston

01:34and Marmadash Vili to provide backup.

01:36If they go and get that striker, then there'll be no excuses, really, for Liverpool not to go and challenge.

01:41And then can they go better in the Champions League?

01:44Because it was disappointing he only got to the last 16, considering that they won the league phase.

01:51And then they drew PSG, who subsequently went and won the trophy.

01:55It was unlucky for Liverpool.

01:57But the time before that, during the Champions League, they were knocked out by PSG, Real Madrid, I beg your pardon.

02:08So I think that Liverpool will be hoping to go a little bit deeper in Europe.

02:14And can they bring in another domestic trophy?

02:16Obviously, beaten by Newcastle in the Carabao Cup and knocked out by Plymouth Park Island,

02:22and the shock in the FA Cup, so can Liverpool go and do something there?

02:26So I think a minimum of one trophy, one of the two big trophies, is what everyone will be aiming for.

02:34But Arnaz Lawson, an ambitious head coach, he'll have his eyes on every prize.

02:40And rightly so, if Liverpool are bringing in the players that they have done,

02:44and they bring in maybe one or two more,

02:46then there'll be no excuse for Liverpool not to challenge in every competition.
