Liverpool announcing Mo Salah’s new contract an hour before today’s press conference meant that the Egyptian King was always going to dominate proceedings, just like he’s dominated the Premier League this season. Arne Slot was asked about him in every way possible, and his answers gave some interesting clues for the present, but also the long and short-term future.
Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards will no doubt take the plaudits for today, but it’s clear that they’re aware that the real work will take place this summer. Although it sounds like they’ve got a head start…
Today’s show delves into a whole host of topics, such as:
- How Salah signing helps secure other transfer targets
- How Salah’s role must change in the coming seasons
- Has the evolution of modern football made it harder for Liverpool to succeed?
- Why wingers are more crucial than ever
- What Ibrahima Konate must do to become the cornerstone of Liverpool’s defence
