Liverpool's recent victory over Wolves sparked a fresh discussion about their summer signings. Coach Arne Slot took the opportunity to set the record straight. He pointed out that many people focus on the money spent but ignore the sales that balanced the books. Slot highlighted that injuries have kept fans from seeing the best of their new players. Jeremie Frimpong, the speedy right-back from Bayer Leverkusen, is a perfect example. In the Wolves match, Frimpong set up two goals, showing exactly what he brings to the team.
Slot praised Frimpong's pace, calling it crucial in modern football. He explained how Frimpong's speed and skill helped create the first goal. This isn't just Slot's opinion; others have noticed that Liverpool plays better when Frimpong is fit and available. 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. Despite these bright spots, Slot admitted there's room for improvement in how the team manages games. 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.
