Liverpool's Speedsters: How Injuries Hid the True Potential of New Signings

Liverpool's recent victory over Wolves has reignited discussions about their summer signings. Coach Arne Slot took the opportunity to set the record straight.

Balancing the Books

Slot highlighted that while many focus on the money spent, they often ignore the sales that balanced the books. He also pointed out that injuries have kept fans from seeing the best of their new players.

Frimpong's Impact

Jeremie Frimpong, the speedy right-back from Bayer Leverkusen, is a perfect example. In the Wolves match, Frimpong set up two goals, showcasing exactly what he brings to the team.

"Frimpong's pace is crucial in modern football. His speed and skill helped create the first goal."

Slot's praise isn't just his opinion; others have noticed that Liverpool plays better when Frimpong is fit and available.

Other Speedsters

Frimpong isn't the only new signing with pace. Slot mentioned Hugo Ekitike and Alexis Mac Allister as well. Ekitike's skill was on full display in the Wolves game, helping to create a goal.

Room for Improvement

Despite these bright spots, Slot admitted there's room for improvement in how the team manages games.

A Glimpse of Potential

The Wolves win gave a glimpse of what Liverpool can be when their new signings are at full strength. It's a reminder that patience and good health are key to seeing the true potential of any team.
