Arne Slot has guided Liverpool to the top of the Premier League and to a 100 percent start in the Champions League.
Legendary pundit and Irish Daily Star columnist Eamon Dunphy has outlined what he believes is the most impressive aspect of Liverpool’s incredible season so far.
In a make-or-break summer, Liverpool chiefs had to walk a tightrope in their search for a new manager, with countless examples out there of boards struggling to replace a long-serving, trophy-winning boss.However, in the appointment of little-known Dutchman Arne Slot, whose career both as a player and in management up to the summer had been limited to his home country, the Reds got it spot-on.
“With Klopp, it often seemed to be a case of, f**k the shape, let’s go for it. But this isn’t ‘heavy metal’, as Klopp used to call it; this is a composed, thoughtful and tactically literate side. “These are three individuals who might have underperformed this season under another manager, because of their contract situations,” wrote Dunphy.
