Is thinking about the possibility of a quadruple realistic for Arne Slot’s Liverpool?

National World - LocalTV

Liverpool’s recent 2-0 victory over Bournemouth on February 1, 2025, showcased the team’s growing confidence under manager Arne Slot. Slot praised goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s world-class saves and acknowledged a bit of luck in securing the win. This result extended Liverpool’s lead in the Premier League title race by nine points over Arsenal. ￼ Slot’s tactical approach has been instrumental in Liverpool’s success. Initially focusing on strengthening the defense, the team has evolved to display precise build-ups and effective space exploitation, reminiscent of Slot’s tenure at Feyenoord. His training methods, emphasising technical exercises, have led to fewer injuries and optimal player performance.

00:00Liverpool have mentioned the prospects of what it could turn into. It's been an amazing

00:08change around Andrani Slot, the quality, the stability as well. They seem like an incredibly

00:15tough side to beat. They're moving to the rounds of the FA Cup, they've got to turn

00:21over that deficit against Spurs, but obviously it's at home. Spurs are in absolutely dismal

00:26form at the moment, so many injuries throughout their side. And then obviously top of the

00:30Champions League, and we've mentioned it's a bit of a strange one with the Champions

00:34League because you could face some of the top sides, but they have already overcome

00:37Spanish champions, German champions in this campaign already. I mean, they just seem untouchable

00:42and where this season could go is quite incredible, up to the bit of dreaming to be done for Liverpool

00:49fans. Is the quadruple realistic? It's something you have to give them credit, you have to

00:56look at and maybe be realistic, but the real focus will clearly go into the Premier League

01:02and then possibly on top of that, the Champions League would be incredible to win that again

01:07for these fans.

01:08Yeah, I think if you ask fans now, if you can win one trophy, what would it be? It would

01:14probably be the Premier League. Liverpool fans have been starved of success in the league

01:18and when they did win it in 2020, they couldn't celebrate it properly because it was Jordan

01:25Covid, so I think if there was one that could be won, it would be the Premier League. Now,

01:30I know that the word quadruple is getting whisked a little bit, but I don't think that

01:35supporters are getting greedy. I think that they realise that Liverpool's squad isn't

01:40the absolute deepest, they might pick up injuries and to win four trophies, it's so difficult,

01:48you know, to win a quadruple, a treble is so difficult. Look how long it took Manchester

01:54City to win the Champions League alone. As you say, the Champions League could be an

01:59absolute lottery depending on who they get the guarantee to finish in the top two before

02:03they play PSV Garenhoven, but because they end up playing Man City or, I don't know,

02:09Bayern Munich, anyone, depending on what happens with the play-off rounds and etc. Carabao

02:15Cup, as you say, that game against Spurs, I still think it will be difficult. Maybe

02:20Andrzej Postakopi, if he's still in charge, might think, you know what, I'm going to surprise

02:24Liverpool, I'm going to go pragmatic to get to the final here, you know, I've got to win

02:28the Leeds, let's go out and surprise them a little bit. And the FA Cup rounds have been

02:33favourable so far, the first round against Ajax in a home, they go to Plymouth who are

02:38struggling in the Championship next. The Premier League and one of the domestic ones, I think

02:45Liverpool supporters would be happy with. The Champions League is so difficult to win,

02:50so many top teams, and as I say, I don't think anyone wants to get greedy because that's

02:55when things can take a downfall.
