Liverpool manager Arne Slot vindicates his £450m spending spree as signings Wirtz, Kerkez, and Frimpong spark a 13-game unbeaten run.

Patience is a rare commodity in the Premier League, but for Arne Slot, it has proven to be the ultimate tactic. After a stuttering start that had the Anfield faithful murmuring, Liverpool’s £450 million summer investment is finally singing in perfect harmony. The Reds are on a 13-game unbeaten run, and the terrifying potential of their new squad is becoming a reality.
The Dutchman faced intense scrutiny when his expensive recruits—Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong—initially struggled to adapt to the frenetic pace of English football. Critics called them "expensive flops." Slot called them "future champions." Today, the league table suggests the manager was right.
What changed? Adaptation. The Bundesliga trio has found its feet, and the result is devastating.
While the title might be a stretch given the gap to Arsenal, Liverpool has cemented its place in the top four conversation and looks dangerous in Europe. The win against Marseille was a statement: the machine is oiled and humming.
For the millions of Liverpool fans in Kenya—from the kibandas of Kibera to the sports bars of Westlands—this resurgence is sweet relief. We know the pain of the "transition season." We watched the money being spent and feared another Andy Carroll situation.
But Slot has steadied the ship. The "You'll Never Walk Alone" anthems are ringing louder in Nairobi this weekend. The Reds are back, and they didn't need a miracle; just a little Dutch courage and a lot of patience.
