Arne Slot, Liverpool's new manager, is looking to make tactical adjustments while maintaining some of Jurgen Klopp's high-pressing playstyle. In a pre-season match against Real Betis, Slot experimented with a 4-2-4 formation due to the unavailability of key strikers Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, resulting in a 1-0 victory. Fabio Carvalho, who struggled for playtime under Klopp, hopes to impress Slot in a new role as a No. 10. Slot aims to strengthen the squad but faces challenges with high standards and potential contract issues with key players like Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Gus Poyet suggests that showing confidence in Nunez as the main striker could unlock his potential, mirroring his international form. The club's ownership, Fenway Sports Group, must address contract renewals and potential transfers to ensure squad stability.
