Arne Slot has highlighted the importance of wingers to Liverpool’s prospects of recovery, and claimed this season’s disappointment can be rectified with the correct squad additions.Liverpool ended a difficult campaign by qualifying for the Champions League but also their lowest points total and goals scored since 2015-16, a season in which Brendan Rodgers was sacked and replaced by Jürgen Klopp. Slot says “at least one” winger is required, and that it would enable his team to recapture the form that delivered the title in his first season.The Liverpool head coach said: “One of the reasons why everyone is talking about wingers is because Mo is leaving.

I think last season gives you the answer because of how important our wingers were to our success last season. He admits no one at Liverpool reproduced the levels of 2024-25.“Last season, one of the reasons why we were so difficult to play against was because we had threats over on the right side, on the left side,” Slot said.

Last season I think if you had to describe the style of play I would describe it as very reliant on the winger-full-back combinations. We have tried that this season again but there hasn’t been the end product that we had last season.
