A market worth half a billion and no solution for Slot, which continues to make a fool of itself and doesn’t know how to reverse the trend of a terrible year
Do you want proof that money doesn’t bring happiness, not even in football? Look at Liverpool. He spent over half a billion in the richest market in history, closed the first (Alexander Isak), second (Florian Wirtz) and third most expensive deal of the summer, convinced he could dominate. After a sensational 3-0 taken in front of the incredulous Anfield crowd by Nottingham Forest, they instead find themselves with the sixth defeat in the last 7 Premier League matches and 8 points behind leaders Arsenal, who have a match in hand. Saying that the Reds are adrift from a sporting point of view does not give a good idea of the very complicated period they are going through. There is a premise to make when analyzing Liverpool: no one really knows how much the disappearance of Diogo Jota weighs on the dressing room.
