It was determined that Iraola was the better fit to implement a high-intensity style of play at Anfield moving forward.But 12 months after winning the Premier League title, Henry feels it was harsh to let Slot go having secured a place in the Champions League ahead of next term via a fifth-place finish."I was actually expecting the last two seasons for Liverpool to happen in reverse," Henry told Betway."I think because he won the league straight away, the expectations went so high.

Slot winning the league has to count for something. Liverpool’s 20th league title belongs to all of us and it will remain an important chapter in its history.
