Yes, but they’ll be go going on holiday with their own families/entourages at end of the season. Hopefully time away together helps with team bonding which they benefit from next season. This season is done and dusted

Here’s a nice article on how Slot turned Liverpool into champions.
In short he’s really good tactically. He has refined what elements worked with Klopp but given us a more cultured tactic. We choose when to attack and win back the ball, we dominate in central areas. This evolution of our side allowed us to become champions. Really good stuff.
The rest of the Prem will take notes and attempt to counter our strategy next year after studying us, but I see no reason our good run can’t continue with such a brilliant manager.
Congratulations Arnie Slot! I never dreamed he would win the Premier League title his first year in charge but he has pulled it off. May he lead us forward into continued prosperity. YNWA.

Arne Slot points finger at the dark art threatening to become a Premier League plague
Story by Andy Dunn
Arne Slot has named the dark-art tactic that he sees as the one BIG blight on the Premier League. After winning the title in a canter, the Liverpool boss decided to get his one main frustration off his chest.
Slot conceded that some teams had skilfully adapted their game-plans to counter his team’s strengths but in the eleven matches in which Liverpool dropped points - they have drawn eight and lost three of their 36 Premier League games - the Dutchman firmly believes they have often been the victims of a practice that has become endemic in the competition. Time-wasting.
The Liverpool coach explained: “Teams got to know us better and tried to find answers to our playing style. But one of the things you cannot do anything about is that tactics are being used that have nothing to do with football.
“Delaying the start of the game, pretending you are injured, taking one minute for a free-kick, one minute for a throw-in. That is my main worry.
“Every time we drop points, that happened… goalkeepers taking one and a half minutes. When we have dropped points, that tactic was used. I like to say it now after us winning the league, not losing a game.”
The issue of time-wasting has clearly rankled with Slot but he has been biding his time to air his annoyance with a practice that seems to be getting increasingly prevalent. And while he did not necessarily agree with the timing of his comments - after a goalless draw at rock-bottom Southampton - Slot knew where Ruben Dias was coming from when he criticised the approach of the home side at St Mary’s.
Slot said: “Ruben Dias said something about it too, which is not always the best moment to say it after dropping points. But for me he was right.
"Southampton can do what they want but I think we as a league must find an answer. People always tell you the Premier League is so intense, so intense!
"But there are tactics to slow the game down. I don’t wake up during the night but if I did I might be like … ’S***! There’s no answer to be found to that type of play.’”

I think what pisses me off is when time wasting goes on all game, and then the referee eventually gives a yellow card for it, with two minutes of added time left, and then doesn’t adjust the final whistle to compensate.

Head coach Arne Slot supposedly once laughed at Jose Mourinho when the fuming former Chelsea boss didn’t like his comments comparing him to Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.
Slot was asked about Mourinho ahead of facing him but made clear that he wanted his team to play a different style. And Mourinho didn’t like what he had to say, as De Telegraaf journalist Marcel van der Kraan has explained.
“I was there on a European Cup night and he’d really upset Mourinho,” he said on BBC Radio 5Live. "He told the Italian press when they asked him ‘How many times have you studied Mourinho’s team here in Italy?’.
"He said ‘Well, I tend not to look at Mourinho’s team because I get nothing out of it’. [He said], ‘I’d rather watch Pep Guardiola’s team. That is the style I follow, that is the way I want to play football’.
"Obviously Mourinho had picked that up and after the match - which went to extra time and only by a minute or so - Mourinho managed to go through and avoid the knockout. Mourinho stormed in the dressing room towards Slot and had a real go at him.
"Shouting, swearing and ‘Go watch Guardiola if you like, you’ll never win anything’, and Slot wasn’t even bothered. He just laughed at him.
“I could see him thinking, ‘Well, you can shout what you want, and yeah maybe fair enough you won some trophies, but I play football the way I want and my next club will play exactly the same as I’m playing here’.”

Way too many teams do it up to the likely runners up and it’s probably why we’ve won this at a canter.
We certainly deserve to win it by 15pts but sadly we probably won’t.

“I think we can find one or two extra weapons this team doesn’t have,” Slot said. “Maybe, maybe, by using the transfer market. That is what we are trying to achieve. That will make us only stronger. That is what we need because we saw [Manchester] City spending £200m in the [January] transfer window. All of them will. Apart from the transfer window, we can also improve certain aspects ourselves.”
Those sorts of comments from a Liverpool manager are probably going to get a few people on here very excited!

And very disappointed after it turns out we finish all our business before the first window opens, and nothing else happens for the rest of the summer so they don’t have anyone new to wank over.
