by The fanfare and the intrigue, the Arne Slots unveiled as the successor to Jürgen Klopp in the Liverpool HotSeat last June, means that it is a comment that is worth being revised. And the following nine months brought it into a particularly sharp focus.
“We would all love to see Liverpool a little higher than third place, and this is the challenge with which we are now standing – to build what we have,” said Slot in his great introduction. “Hopefully we can get a little more points than 82, which is necessary for arsenal and city to hopefully get a little higher than this season.”
With so much tumult behind the scenes at the beginning of the post-Klopp era, many followers expected, while they appreciated the feeling, understandably no manager in his first season in English football with a squad that was ultimately hardly untouched to ask for the title this time.

However, a few would return to Liverpool due to their remarkable Premier League campaign, the Slots goal. This makes darkness and fate, which currently all the more confusing sections of the fan base. It was not a shame in the defeat of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain, although the disappointment of losing the league final against Newcastle United remains tangible.
A reflection phase is understandable. With five final defeats and two agonizing second-placed people in the past ten years, the Liverpool fans know everything about the pain to fall short. But this time there is a very important consolation that your team at the top of the table is clear 12 points and completes a record title of the 20th League.
In a way, the slot would have claimed an unlikely, clean decline in honor that it would have left it in a position in which everything else he had achieved in Angeld during his time would have been fade. As was shown under Klopp, the trip is as important as the goal and the bumps on the street are expected.
But the fear of the unknown plays a role for some fans. This is the first summer in which sports director Richard Hughes has properly tested his appointment. Apart from Federico Chiesa, fans, apart from new faces this season, still not know what you can expect from an Arne slot obligation.
Then there is the fact that the squad is about to separate. Several players reach the end of their natural cycle and others serve to continue. Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold should not be agreed with new contracts, would be impossible to replace the same, but there are alternative ways to success.
So that an overhaul is imminent, the thoughts should concentrate. The rest of this campaign should be about living at the moment and at the same time keeping an eye on the future so as not to influence the present.
Liverpool only closes her second championship in 35 years and her first since 1990, when you can share the celebrations with supporters instead of lifting the trophy on an almost abandoned Angeld.
If this is not enough to excite or promote the supporters of Reds, they may have been influenced by the growing trend, at least on social media, of completely anger, if not every game is obtained and every transfer goal is acquired. It does not need too much examinations to find an association whose fans who judge their most prominent and volume members online are at risk of drowning negativity in a sea. That is best avoided.
You can’t tell the fans how to follow their team, and everyone will have their own opinion about how they can best show their support. There is no real or false approach. However, everything that matters is that the players receive support.
There are still nine games for this Liverpool squad. They are still firm favorites to create history before they become themselves.
It will not be easy and, as was observed in the past week or something, there is always a risk of a final disappointment. But be assured that the Liverpool players will enjoy at any moment. The Anfield believers should not be different.
