I saw Liverpool ace miss rare golden chance as Arne Slot proven right on $173M trio

 

 

Liverpool’s pre-season clash offered a glimpse into the future under Arne Slot, and while excitement builds around his new era, one moment stood out for the wrong reasons. A rare golden chance went begging as a key Reds attacker fluffed his lines—raising questions over his clinical edge.

 

Yet, Slot’s vision was also validated. The $173M trio of Darwin Núñez, Cody Gakpo, and Diogo Jota showcased exactly why the Dutch boss is banking on them. Núñez’s relentless pressing, Gakpo’s intelligent link-up, and Jota’s poacher’s instinct highlighted a frightening attacking rotation.

 

While the missed opportunity was frustrating, Liverpool’s firepower ensures they won’t lack goals. Slot’s faith in his forwards already looks justified—now it’s about sharpening those killer instincts when it matters most.
