The Reds have spent over £300 million on new signings, including Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike, while still being linked with Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, despite a £110m bid being rejected in August.
Slot says the heavy spending was necessary and cautions against over-romanticizing last season’s historic title win.
“To romanticise last season as much as we do - and sometimes we make this mistake inside the building as well, I mean the players - is incorrect,” he told the media.
“Last season was, every single time, a struggle, most wins were only by one goal and we had to fight really hard for it"
Liverpool look to extend their winning streak to three league games when they host title rivals Arsenal in a mouth-watering clash at Anfield on Sunday, ahead of the international break.
