Key Highlights

  • For one, Hughes didn't actually make any major player decisions in that first season.
  • He signed Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia but left him on loan there, while Federico Chiesa was an opportunistic signing right at the end of the window. That was it - one player who wasn't added to the squad and another that Slot didn't end up using.
  • It wasn't exactly easy to gauge how they'd operate together. That put a lot of pressure on the summer, with Liverpool deciding to go all-out with their spending.
  • They twice broke their transfer record, signed new full-backs (for record amounts each) and moved on a large chunk of the squad. So how has it gone?
  • Well, the first signs are actually awful.
