That day Liverpool lost at home to PSG in the Champions League Round of 16 and went out on penalties, the following game we lost the 2025 League Cup final to Newcastle Utd with probably our worst display of football I have seen for 50 years.
So let's start from the begining, Slot comes in to replace one of the greatest Legends in our entire history in Jurgen Klopp and hits the ground running with Klopp's team with just Chiesa coming in for £10m who was only used for 6 Premier League games and 14 games overall.
Out goes Adrian, Matip, Thiago and a few young players in Sepp Van Den Berg, Clarke, and Carvalho bringing in £55.3m so we made a £45.3m profit.
Start of the 2024-25 season Arne Slots first 45 games in charge in all competitions had a record of -
Played 45.
Won - 34.
Drawn - 7.
Lost - 4.
Win Rate of 75.56%.
Then came that 11th March game v PSG at Anfield when we just went into free fall.
So including that PSG game Liverpool played 11 games, In them last 11 games of Liverpool's 2024-25 season our record was -
Played 11.
Won - 4.
Drawn - 2.
Lost - 5.
Win Rate of 36.36%.
So has we can see what a spectacular drop that was from the first 45 games of the season with a Win Rate of 75.56% to the last 11 games of the season with a Win Rate of just 36.36%.
Then the start of this 2025-26 season started with challenges with the loss of Jota, Trent learning Spanish while running down his contract and going on a free to Real Madrid, selling Diaz when he should of been given a new contract and the sale of Nunez, then out went a couple of centre backs in Nat Phillips and Quansah.
Then in comes £417.2m worth of talent before Add-ons and out went £190.1m before Add-ons leaving a Net Spend of £227.1m before Add-ons for this season.
So far this season Liverpool have played 34 games in all competitions -
Played - 34.
Won - 17.
Drawn - 6.
Lost - 11.
Win Rate of 50%.
So if we include the last 11 games of last season from that PSG loss on the 11th March 2025, and the first 34 games of this season in all competitions, then we have a Win Rate of just 45% up to the Bournemouth loss which is Slots last 45 games.
So Slot has managed 90 games for Liverpool right up to that Bournemouth loss, with the first 45 games having a Win Rate of 75.56% and his last 45 games with a Win Rate of just 45%.
What is becoming absolutely clear is that this downfall did not start this season, it started on the 11th March last season with 11 games remaining of the 2024-25 season, and as Slot gets more time with this squad of players the more we move away from that Klopp free flowing, high intense, high press, dynamic style of attacking football and turns this Liverpool team into more what he wants that Dutch Eredivisie style of play, the worst we get.
Just look at the last 10 Premier League winners Win Rate record.
2024-25 Liverpool = 65.79%.
2023-24 Man City = 73.68%.
2022-23 Man City = 78.68%.
2021-22 Man City = 76.32%.
2020-21 Man City = 71.05%.
2019-20 Liverpool = 84.21%.
2018-19 Man City = 84.21%.
2017-18 Man City = 84.21%.
2016-17 Chelsea = 78.94%.
2015-16 Leicester City = 60%.
So there we have it, yes we won the League but our Win Rate of 65.79% was only 5.79% better than the Leicester City team and way off all the other Premier League winners over the past decade including 18.42% less Win Rate than Klopp's title winning team.
So Slot has managed 90 games for Liverpool in all competitions, the first 45 games had a Win Rate of 75.56% before 11th March 2025, and the last 45 games have a Win Rate of 45%.
So that's a 30.56% drop in wins, and we have lost 2 Finals in the League Cup and FA Community Shield and dropped out of the top 4 in the Premier League in them last 45 games.
It's the same story if we only count Premier League games.
In Slots first 45 games for Liverpool our Premier League record stands before 11th March 2025 -
Played - 29.
Won - 21.
Drawn - 7.
