"In May 2025, West Derby-born Trent Alexander-Arnold announced that he would be leaving his boyhood club upon the expiry of his contract in the summer. The star right back redefined the position when he was playing in it, whose unique passing ability resulted in a Premier League average of 14.88 big chances created throughout his Liverpool career. For context, the Reds' current leader in big chances created is Mo Salah (9)."
"A feeble defence of their Premier League crown, including just six league wins since September, has piled the pressure on Arne Slot, whose new-look side is in the midst of a battle for top four. The elephant in the room is, of course, the £450 million summer spending spree that supposedly added the cherry on Liverpool's cakewalk to another league title, could seldom have gone worse."
Liverpool underwent a massive overhaul of attacking personnel under Arne Slot, producing a markedly different attacking style to the Klopp era. Goal output has dropped from 95 goals and a comfortable lead to just 72 goals since the season start, accompanied by only six league wins since September and a frail title defense. The £450 million summer spending spree failed to deliver expected returns. Trent Alexander-Arnold left on a free in May 2025, having averaged 14.88 big chances created across his Liverpool career compared to current leader Mohamed Salah's nine. Slot's side now faces pressure and a fight for a top-four finish.
