Slot's Masterstroke: A Tactical Analysis of Liverpool's 2024-25 Title-Winning Season

By Peter Prickett

No one expected this.

Arne Slot had huge boots to fill. As the successor to Jurgen Klopp - a Liverpool legend - the history books show that clubs are more likely to fall away when such a figure departs. Think Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.

Everyone predicted that Slot's debut season would be a period of transition, not one of instant success. Yet, he led Liverpool to the league title at his first attempt.

Slot's Masterstroke provides a detailed game-by-game tactical analysis of this achievement, examining the Dutchman's use of innovative formations, in-game adjustments, and changes to player roles that contributed to Liverpool's success.

Perfect for Liverpool fans, coaches, and tactical enthusiasts, the book details the 56 games behind a landmark Liverpool season, provided through a coach's lens alongside tactical illustrations. In Slot's Masterstroke, discover how Arne Slot and Liverpool FC became Premier League Champions
