'The most PERFECT start' 👀 How Arne Slot has done as manager compared to Jurgen Klopp | ESPN FC

The ESPN FC panel of Shaka Hislop and Craig Burley welcomes Steve McManaman to the show as they discuss Liverpool's first 3 fixtures under new manager Arne Slot.

Absolutely outrageous that Salah was not nominated for the Ballon d'Or in the 30 man shortlist. The greatest winger in premier league history and still performing consistently for both last year (while being injured for 3 months) and this season already and is still omitted from it.

Absolute joke award.

Salah not nominated for the balon dor again despite 39 GA last year. The most disrespected player of all time. If this man was European we would never hear the end of it. But the truth is, because of where he is from, he has to work 3 times more to get similar respect as others.

Craig Burley is right in saying that it's early days and we shouldn't draw too many conclusions yet, but at the same time, Arne Slot is simply tweaking what Klopp built last season. He's not making things worse is he? Liverpool already look better than last season and hopefully they can push City and Arsenal a bit further than they did last season.

Most notable for me Is not conceding the first goal in every game, the full backs play where full backs should play and asking TAA to take responsibility as a defender. Also glad to see Gravenbach given game time.

[juliojimenez]

Agree. After all, Ange started very well last season and everyone was full of praises. So too early to do the same with Arne.

I hope Liverpool will have some tricks up their sleeve for the January window from negotiations this summer for their main targets like how they persisted with van dijk to propel them for the latter side of the season

Salah got his priorities sorted...and his bank balance...he just loves playing football and is enjoying doing this at Liverpool !! ...and his children are Scousers now and love Liverpool !! 😊YNWA ❤

Klopp arrived in October 2015 so had no pre season and had to rebuild an entire team. Slot had it easy, and an easy run of fixtures to start.

We have two players for every position, our squad is better than most

[sinnermac]

burley talking about the squad depth, we have literally got 2 players for every single position.

[nickme]

Slott started with almost complete team with great structure & stable squad.klopp start with top 8 team & need to nurture everything from zero.it'snot apple to apple...

[ctrl-shift-run]

Doesn't get much better than this. 3 wins and 3 clean sheets.

[MicheleNoriega-kd]

Was Shaka chopped liver???
Dude said not a word.

[jasons]

End of October and November is a bigger test for pool, Chelsea Arsenal Brighton, Villa, City..and Leipzig Madrid and Leverkusen..all game that cannot lose

[mmjnr]

Arne Slot is the new big thing in football now...He's right up there with Pep Ancelotti and Arteta in terms of tactics and only when he get the chance to actually play them we can know who's who but until then Slot has introduced a new style of football that can be seen as Jurgen Klopp 2.0 minus the mistakes!! Yes he's better than Klopp and this is coming from a huge Klopp fan as even Klopp himself would admit it to himself being the fair humble smart man he is because Jurgen never managed to plug those gaps at the back no matter what he tried it was always there and could hurt you from almost any opposition which was pretty crazy and depressing at times..now Slot plays the same attacking football but much more realistic and calculated which is exactly what Liverpool needed!

These lot need to calm down and not get ahead of themselves. Big Ange won 26 points from his first 30 in the Premier League last season. But has only won 44 points from 93 since. The point being that new managers can start off very hot and catch the league off guard. But if they don’t adapt they will eventually get found out. All the best to Slot but just a word of caution to these pundits to not get ahead of themselves.

[johnmiceter]

I think a lot of people are forgetting we were amazing last year under Klopp with this team and we dominated so many games without winning near the end. Do the fans forget, we dominated City in that game at Anfield and we had never done that, but we couldn't take our chances. We had over 30 shots against United and couldn't score and it was 0-0.

We also had such bad luck with VAR against Tottenham where we probably could have won. We had a deadset handball against Arsenal turned down by VAR against Arsenal which we drew and of course that kick in the chest by Doku against City where we should have got a pen at the end of the game. Then you add in all our poor finishing that cost us so many games and we surely would have won it last season. The only reason we are going better this season is our finishing has been SO MUCH BETTER and of course the clean sheets help.

Rock n roll under Jürgen, Bohemia rapshody under Slot

[serelbass]

Look at Moh’s stats that’s mental🤯 I know he was good but this is incredible🤯

[Caiyrog]

Comparisons of Slot vs Klopp wont be fair because Slot has a squad Klopp didn't have until 2018/19 his 4th season(or 3rd full season)
