The Reds suffered 19 defeats in all competitions, scored their lowest league total since 2015-16 with 63 goals, and conceded a Premier League era club-record 53 goals following a pre-season disrupted by the tragic death of forward Diogo Jota.
Former Players Voice Criticism
Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy publicly expressed that the club should pursue Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique if the team struggles at the beginning of the upcoming season.
"If Slot doesn't start well [next season], it's [pressure] going to start again.
I don't think he's got a big say in the players [recruitment], by the way," Murphy said.
"But I think he's going to have some sort of say in the players that come in.
But if he starts badly and they're sitting in fifth, sixth after eight games, it's done," he added.
Murphy suggested that the club needs to make an aggressive financial offer to lure the Spanish manager away from France.
"I would try and break the bank and do anything I can to get Luis Enrique," he stated.
