Liverpool's pre-season against Preston North End marks the beginning of Arne Slot's new era as the team adapts to tactical shifts. Club-record signing Florian Wirtz, primarily an attacking midfielder, may leverage his strengths in wider positions alongside Mohamed Salah. With the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold, new fullbacks Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong may introduce a more aggressive attacking strategy. Their ability to contribute in possession-based play presents Liverpool with new tactical avenues, particularly in how they manage width and player positioning within the team's structure.
Florian Wirtz, primarily an attacking midfielder, operates effectively in wide areas, allowing him to create scoring opportunities, differing from Dominik Szoboszlai's deeper midfield role.
The fullback duo Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong, replacing Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold, are anticipated to bring an even more attacking approach to Liverpool's style.
Kerkez and Frimpong, familiar with possession-based play, provide tactical options for Slot, potentially reshaping Liverpool's approach to width in their attacking strategy.
Slot’s utilization of fullbacks in a more conventional manner indicates a shift in tactics, adapting to Alexander-Arnold's departure and reimaging the defensive and offensive roles.
