48 million euros were wasted? Liverpool lost the top spot, and the Golden Boots only surpassed the target once last season

Liverpool has recently lost three consecutive games in the Premier League and Champions League, and the Premier League has topped the list, and the prospects for the Champions League are not optimistic. This is not accidental.

As the defending Premier League champion, it spent more than 400 million euros to sign up this summer. Superstars such as Wilz, Isaac, Ekitic, and Flynnon will make a strong shot in the future, and their lineup will be enhanced unprecedentedly. But can all eleven people on your field play at their best?

No!

Slotte rotated almost every game, and half of the people on the field failed to play in the best form.

Wilz is the most disappointing. Before coming, he was indeed the strongest German offensive midfielder. When he came to the Premier League, he expected that he was at the peak of De Bruyne, at least at the level of Palmer. But I came to Liverpool to play 7 games in the Premier League, 2 games in the Champions League, 0 goals and 0 assists.

Ekitic is the number one scorer in Liverpool. His current data is 5 goals and 1 assist in 10 games, and 3 goals and 1 assist in 6 Premier League games. This data can only be said to be acceptable and far from reaching the level of a top striker. Is it better than Nunes before?

The number one target introduced by Isaac, 3 games in the Premier League and 2 games in the Champions League, with only 1 assist. How could this be the level of the Premier League silver boot last season? It can be said that it was summer that I had not trained or played systematically in order to join Liverpool for a long time, but it has been a month since the data was so mediocre. Is there something wrong with Slot's tactical arrangement? In the midfield and backcourt, except for the two fullbacks, there are not much changes, but the defense loopholes are too big.

After talking about the new one, let’s talk about the original one. The former meritorious goalkeeper Allison actually performed much better in recent years than Onana during the Manchester United era. Winter Salah, the Golden Boot of the Premier League last season, was once a hit with the Golden Globes. He finally renewed his contract before his contract expires this summer. Many fans may think it was a hope, but in fact it may be a failure and missed the best opportunity to sell Salah at the highest price.

As of now, Salah has played 10 games for Liverpool in various competitions this season, contributing 3 goals and 3 assists, including 7 Premier League games, 2 goals and 2 assists. This data is too mediocre, similar to Lewandowski in Barcelona's team.

In the Premier League this season, "Egypt Messi" has tried 8 times, but only succeeded once.

Liverpool was originally regarded as the biggest favorite to win the Premier League this season, because of Isaac's joining, but there is a premise: both Isaac and Salah can maintain the level of last season!

As the season deepens, after adapting, the young Isaac may be able to play at the level of the Newcastle era, but that is not enough. If Salah continues to be sluggish and Ekitic has made no progress, then Liverpool's competition for the Premier League and Champions League championships will only be a mirror.

On April 11, Liverpool renewed its contract with Salah until June 30, 2027, with a weekly salary of 400,000 pounds, which is about 24 million euros an annual salary, and 48 million euros in two seasons. If Salah is not at his peak, Liverpool's losses will be much more than 48 million euros. As early as the summer window of 2023, Saudi United's offer to Salah was as high as 150 million pounds. In the future, it is probably the bargain price.
