In an interview with Sky Sports, former player Jamie Redknapp shared his thoughts on his old club.
According to Jamie Redknapp, after Manchester City and Arsenal, Liverpool currently has the third strongest squad in the Premier League. However, given the challenges faced by new manager Arne Slot in stepping in for Jurgen Klopp, it will be difficult for Liverpool to compete for the title this season.
The former Liverpool player commented:
“Make sure they qualify for the Champions League. I think, when Slot arrived, he was very pleased with the squad he inherited and perhaps wondered how good this squad really is.”
“Better than Manchester City? No. Better than Arsenal? Also no. But after these two teams, Liverpool has the best squad.”
“Even if they finish third, I think it would be a very successful season.”
“It will be extremely difficult for Slot; you’re replacing an icon who is not just a football manager, but you also have to make sure you’re yourself, managing the team in the way you see fit.”
