Liverpool were certainly one of the more inactive Premier League and indeed European clubs in the transfer window.

The Anfield faithful were becoming increasingly frustrated by the lack of spending from FSG, and the lack of signings from Arne Slot.

But Liverpool did manage to get two late transfers over the line, with Giorgi Mamardashvili and Federico Chiesa joining the club.

The former will, however, not be available until next summer after returning to Valencia, while the latter was not ready to make his debut against Man United.

Liverpool fans may have wanted one or two more faces in the door, but they certainly cannot complain about the start to the new season.
