I think everyone can see now why the Feyenoord fans were so sad that he left and why they said he is so good. a unique trainer.

[charlesnyakutse]

In all your arguments Klopp built this very team and Slot is doing is fine tuning it. Remember Klopp build this team with relatively cheap budget.

[aktharchowdhury]

The biggest problem we had last season was to be conceding first and chasing the game. If Slot has fixed that, he’s already improved Liverpool.

[fayesouthall]

Nobody remembers Liverpool beat united 3-0 a month ago preseason in the USA. Played in a similar manner. Ten Hag learnt nothing. Shows how good Slot is.

[ernst]

Coming from an Ajax fan: Slot is in my opinion an exceptionally better manager and tactician than Ten Hag. Even before these wins I thought Liverpool couldn't have picked a better replacement for Klopp. Slot's philosophy and playing style is a perfect match for Liverpool.

[boonchinlee]

credit where it should. Klopp change liverpool from midtable to title challenger team. I am for that is forever grateful for that.

[rahulkadam]

Biggest diffrenece is that Klopp inherited a broke team whre as Slot inherited a champion team, a winning machine.

[BenjaminF-zihs]

Only three games in, waaaay too early to compare slot to klopp. But then, the media has to eat so they'll debate this for no reason

[eldio]

Slot clearly prioritises control and defensive solidity compared to Klopp. Liverpool players are also using less energy under slot

[cdful]

jurgen klopp has made liverpool what it is today

[Afterthoughtbtw]

People forget just how catastrophically bad Liverpool's injury crisis was last season when they try to compare this Slot team to the one that finished last season. At the end of last season, no-one had any legs left; it's why they were in contention for 4 trophies until suddenly they weren't, and had a miserable last month. They dominated the FA Cup tie against Man Utd, and should have been four or more goals up, before suddenly they started running through treacle and collapsed. People forget just how utterly they dominated that match before the turn around. They were running on fumes from then on in to the end of the season. Even the best squad in the world struggles if they had a really unlucky year with injuries. Had Arsenal or Man City had the injuries Liverpool did to the equivalent important players in their squads, the end table might have looked different. The only question over Liverpool this season was how long Slot would take to get his ideas across. If he got them over immediately, Liverpool would challenge for the title; if he didn't, they wouldn't. The question isn't really answered yet, as they are yet to play a team you would expect to trouble them on paper (away at Old Trafford was a banana skin only because of the rivalry - in terms purely of ability of the individual players, balance of the squads, and form, Liverpool should win that match all day long).

But I guess hyperbole gets you clicks.

[maldini]

Slot is a brilliant manager. I like his approach so far. We will be difficult to beat once we stay injury free.

[jordie]

Lfc best signing is Arne Slot this season.

[narotomo]

Salah said the contract thing when nobody asked. He just said it out of nowhere. To me it sounds like he wants to stay. Certainly playing like he deserves a new contract.

[Photosoflife]

Slot walked into a side that were challenging for the title up until the last few weeks of last season. The smartest thing he’s done is allowed the team to keep attacking but be much more compact defensively. As fun as it was to watch Klopp’s Liverpool sides, he far too often left them defensively exposed. Slot, so far, has just slightly adjusted an already great side. But that slight alteration was very tactically smart. On a side note, I’m trying to create my own YouTube football channel going forward. Any subscribers would be greatly appreciated to help the channel grow. Thank you and always great chatting with others on this channel.

[Jay-mnkb]

Liverpool is in good hands after Klopp hands over to Slot in proper succession. Klopp has laid the foundation for Slot to make it better

[denzel]

Slot was brought into improve players he's doing that

[Adam-oyix]

So now after 3 seasons, we finally know what ETH's style of play is...and it took the Liverpool manager to tell us what it is...

[Lioness_UTV]

Fascinating to hear Slot explain his tactical thinking and awareness of Uniteds game. Its something I have become used to as a Villa fan under Emery - my awareness and understanding of the tactical layers and in-game adjustments has increased and comfort with not sweating the small stuff like losing to Arsenal as I could see our improvements and that we would take into the next match.

Per Slot, I don't think he was giving anything away exactly as it's fairly obvious but what he did do right there is a shot across the bow to other teams and Managers so they are now thinking of something very specific vs other tactics he will deploy. I thought watching Liverpool in preseason how comfortable Liverpool looked. I thought it then and still think it. Liverpool are a threat to take the title from City and Arsenal.

[maliksaad]

Klopp was different, when he arrived at the club, culture was very bad just like Manchester United nowadays, from that he changed the mindset and made them the champions stuff, he famously said "Believe".
