Liverpool have started incredibly under Arne Slot but Mark Goldbridge says the club's vision in replacing Jurgen Klopp can't be underestimated. Get the latest football news on that's football
Liverpool are a great example of how to run a football club that doesn't have infinite cash. Not being held to ransom by player contracts. Not overspending or being pushed above their valuation on transfers. Intelligent talent evaluation on and off the pitch. A clear identity, and also now clearly an awareness of how important continuity is. Brighton are another great example too
You know as a Liverpool fan, I have to like Mark Goldbridge, because no matter how much he hates or loves a team he will still aknowledge a teams strengths, he sits there and talks praisingly of Liverpool as a Man United fan because he is able to aknowledge the truth. Its great to see this.
That’s because he’s a football fan first, a lot of comments you’ll read, and I mean A LOT of comments you’ll read will put their team badge before football itself, making them X United fans first, football fans second or even last in some cases

This is how Madrid should've operated before they signed Mbappe and threw away the diamond formation. At one point, change can bring less stability in the team.
There is ONE big difference this year from previous 2 years. Liverpool defend much more compact and looks a lot more solid with very few chances for the opposite team. And the 2 defending midfielders Macca and Gravenberch are Monsters so far.
Calm down. Liverpool has not play the likes of Man City and Arsenal yet. Utd was poor on Sunday. Klopp's team which won the league title had a very good defence. Injuries took a toll on players like VVD after that. It's only 3 games in and we have not started any of our cup games yet. You don't compare 3 games against 9 years of management by Klopp.
And both of them can change role as well...Gravenberch play more as an 8 in this match while Macca play at the base as a defensive 6...totally diff from the first 2 match...
The biggest difference i see is we don't over commit going forward anymore. Usually we go gung ho and when the move breaks down we get hit on the counter and concede.

@@knotabot9370 bro their xg wasnt 2 what r u talking about i trust the stats more than u also u really want to say united shoulda scored twice TOO BAD THEY DIDNT NOT OUR FAULT
What a difference in management at Liverpool, compared to Chelsea where Mr. Boehly fired everyone, coaches, back room staff, all of them. He suddenly had nobody that knew how to do their jobs. The new people got thrown into the fire and didn't have any help. Liverpool brings in new people slowly and has faith in them to learn the right way, and it shows.
Yeah only the heads of department coming with slot that have changed, all academy coaches, day to day training staff etc remains minimum upheaval for everyone, perfect management of club imo. Everyone moans about money not noticing just how well Liverpool is actually run.
When man utd were winning just about everything in sight, it was really hard as a Liverpool supporter to give them the credit that they deserved. The rivalry is SO intense. So, having said that, fair play to Mark & his honest assessments here. There's no doubt that, whatever their respective league positions, Liverpool vs man u is still, by far, the biggest game in English football. Nothing comes close, when you consider the success that the two sides have had over the years. Head & shoulders above everybody else. THIS is what football's all about.
Man united fans are so happy to give credit to liverpool because Liverpool aren't winning titles ,if liverpool were wining titles like man city no United fan would credit liverpool
@@lungalunga1470 Your wrong there. Nowadays there's actually, amongst the intense rivalry, a healthy respect from both sets of fans.. Not the tragedy/poverty chanting idiots, but the genuine supporters. The two cities are actually VERY similar & the sensible ones recognise that.

I truly appreciate your unbiased opinion Mark. It's really rare to stumble upon rival fans who are able to have a neutral discussion without having any bias, but you're able to do exactly that. Good stuff.
44yrs supporting liverpool I'm also surprised how the players adapted to new style or tactics very quickly Slot surprised me with his tactical masterclass
Slot style of play is a perfect harmony of Klopp and Guardiola' football philosophy. He has combined Tika taka of Guardialo and klopps gegenpressing in a singular style and this is the most effective tactical method of playing football.
Slot Observed city well, i remember Slot played against Mourinho Roma, And he said before the game that he didnt watched roma but watched City Instead, And Mourinho saw that him saying that, After the game When feyenoord lost, Mourinho Told and was pissed he screamed:Slot RESPECT RESPECT You Watch Man city Napoli You Should have watched Us! Mourinho was basicaly pissed and thought that Slot didnt took him serious.
The transition from Klopp to Slot has been seamless, slick and smooth and believe it or not Slot is an upgrade to Klopp cause tactically we are way balanced and controlled and deadly with the ball 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
I’m amazed people aren’t mentioning that Man united and Liverpool played a preseason game in the USA a month ago. Same result 3-0 to LFC. It appears that Ten Hag learnt nothing. The training videos under Slot appear to be very different from Klopp. Large group rondo games and the gym built for strength and conditioning. Not just exercise. He’s used the midfield 3 in a different way.
@@simphiwemadonsela6960 Let's say you're about to run a 100m sprint. Just you and one other guy. This other guy is faster than you due to genetic mutations and has been doping. You come 2nd place. Would you consider this failure?
Feyenoord fan here who watched both feyenoord and liverpool last year, its not only that Slot has the respect to continue on Klopps work. But they already where quite the same anyway, both play in the same line up, both like to press and play energetic football which entertain the crowd, they both are good people managers and can improve young players even the way they handle the media is quite the same hahah. And sure Slot is changing some things here and there like being in possestion a little more and little changes in defending and pressing, but the big picture is staying the same. so they didnt looked for someone who was willing to contintue the project, they looked for someone who is going to do his own thing while that thing was a close as possible as it was now, and i can assure you Slot is defenatly just doing his own thing cuz how they play is excactly how Feyenoord and Az played under him. Thats why he is just such a good trainer, his way of playing is at everry club verry clear from the 3th game on, at feyenoord first year he came he only spend 5 million and after 3 games they played like that, year later they sold more than half the team (cuz of need for money), spend less than what came in, complete new team and you guess it, in gameweek 3 they already played like that. I am telling you what you see now is just the tip of the iceberg this man is absolutely INSANE and i am telling you this man is gonna do Big things with Liverpool, already said that he is going to play for first place in epl when he just came in, many laughed at me and made a fool of me, but watch and see
Slot is a Don....and he wasn't 3rd choice LFC had all this planned, that's why we have all these Dutch players as well.....all the media PR stuff is a charade....the way that he packs whatever part of the pitch the team are operating will make it really hard for any team to score and Arne is hardcore, if you don't do your job, do the work then you won't play, but because he's bang on with his tactics he gets the respect and its a positive feedback now....no goals conceding is just amazing, that's how you win leagues.....
@@KTopics I don't know, Alonso knows his own mind and he's a Red, they would have probably had a conversation and known what he wanted to do....but he is a good manager....Slot has more experience though....
I'm a Liverpool fan and there's NO WAY I was expecting the transition to be this smooth. I couldn't be more impressed with how Slot has put this team together.
The continuity has been great and the start to the season has been perfect. Biggest surprise to me is not only the clean sheets, but also the sheer lack of big chances we are giving up at the back, which is a stark contrast to last season, without dampening the attacking prowess of the team. For a manager to do that is pretty special, considering alot of the players missed the pre-season tour because of the Euros. Being top of the league in XG and bottom in XG against is remarkable honestly. My only concern is the lack of reinforcements and possible injuries to the DMs and CBs as the season becomes 3 games a week, but so far, I cant complain
Gravenberch's transformation under Slot is unbelievable and Klopp to Slot transition is reminding me of Shankly to Paisley Shankly build the team and Paisley dominated it same as Klopp did for Slot
Arne Slot is doing things the right way. He recognizes that the talent is already set and changing things will only be their downfall. I noticed the one things that is very important here. He minimized the use of Gegenpressing to which if they have a lead instead of pushing for more pressing he turns them into a tiki taka version of Barcelona punishing the opponents defense this will be crucial because the premier league is a very grinding season which I think the players there have appreciated this because their longevity has been prioritized.
Klopps downfall was giving Nunez too many minutes near the end. His conversion was horrible and it cost him. However the team slot has inherited in nothing short of incredible. Arguably one of the best right wingers in prem history in Salah VVD Alison Trent Diaz Robertson It’s literally unbelievable how good they are
I’ve been a Liverpool fan since 1978, been through it all and seen some great managers. And some mediocre ones. Slot seems to have brought some order to the chaos that was often there under Klopp. Good solid start, hope it continues..👍🏻
Shored up the defence, more in control of the game, just as deadly at the business end of the park and what a lot of people seem to be missing, this is only the second season together for the midfield rebuild and so far he's got Salah back to his lethal best and Diaz on fire. We will challenge
If we actually make signings this January unlike last winter window were winning pl. Grav as 8 next to a dm plus mac allister is crazy good@onlydbrasko
as a Liverpool fan, Im as excited as the next person but if we've learned anything from observing the prem, its to not overestimate ourselves especially when its only the start of the season.
As a Liverpool fan for over 40 years, we are not unbelievable. Slot has started from a very solid position, his style of play is very similar to Klopp's, and the season is only 3 games old. Man U are poor, the other 2 games you would expect us to win. Once we have played the contenders we will see where we stand.
You’re not a true fan, regardless of how many years you’ve watched them. Slot has not lost a match yet, the defense has improved a ton. Even in pre season.
I think we should not underestimate how challenging it will be to come work in a place haunted by Klopp's ghost. Almost every interview with Liverpool players reference Klopp. Every article, discussion, tactical breakdown on Liverpool has Klopp's shadow all over it. To come and work in an environment such as this and succeed takes incredible self-belief and strength of character, apart from obviously being a good coach. Early days but I think Arne Slot deserves a lot more credit.
What Slot has done is create a hybrid system of his style at Feyenoord and Klopp's Liverpool style. So we still have that dynamism in attack, but we're also much more controlled in possession and far more compact in defence.
The most important factor here is that Slot seems able to dissect the opponents tactics very quickly and give clear concise instructions to his player on how to overcome them. Klopp was a supreme motivator but over a season burnt these players out and the drop off was severe when it came.
I wouldn't have predicted this. Slot is such a good manager. He's got his style of play on the players immediately . Hopefully Chiesa hits the ground running too.
I know it’s early days but the fact he’s come in and the players are talking positively about him and his tactics bodes well. You can actually see how much he respects what the team has done previously and tweaked it. Great point that he’s not come in with an ego and wanted to change everything
I'm not going to get too excited. It's undoubtedly a good start though. I'm very impressed with the clean sheets and I hope they can get a lot more of those this season. VVD used to have a real passion for clean sheets!
I think the biggest thing that’s caught everyone offside was the fact they look energetic, excited, just like the season when we won. With exception to TAA the big baby 😂
Liverpool problem is always the defending which klopp was lacking. Too much offensive power. If that's not the case, they would win alot more trophy. Now under slot, it looks like a fortress.
One correction - Arne Slot was Liverpool’s first choice. Alonso ruled himself out of any job before Liverpool had their DOF in place, and Amorim was ruled out due to the differences in playing style between him and Klopp. De Zerbi was also mention in rumours, but never really got beyond that.
As a Liverpool fan I was very pessimistic about slot after enjoying many years under Klopp but I am now realising that this is very much a fantastic appointment. I’m not an FSG fan but they have certainly got this appointment right
I’m a Liverpool fan and I believed this would be our ‘building’ season under a new manager where he saw what’s was wrong with the team and what’s good, but I also thought we wouldn’t do great this season because slot has just changed the team tremendously and going into the next game I’m very optimistic of what slot can do and what he has already done it’s so nice to see one manager has respected their predecessor in a way and it’s looking good at the moment very happy with the way slot has built on klopp’s original team - outstanding.
Slot knows how the bring the best out of every player..i've witnessed that the last 3 seasons at Feyenoord..the best 3 seasons i have ever seen in my 40+ years as a Feyenoord fan
Mark Goldbridge is one of the most refreshing football journalists out there. His honesty, humility and humour makes him a must watch. Keep doing what you're doing Mark. Regards from a Liverpool supporter 👍🏻
The only Liverpool fans who want FSG out are plastic ones that have never seen Anfield in their life. the majority of fans trust FSG, know how FSG works and understand that they have won us everything. More than any previous premier league era owners. For those saying "spend more money" look at Utd and Chelsea. Where did spending get them?.
@@NemwelOngosisuch a stupid comment. So what’s the answer? FSG spend more? Still can’t spend more than FSG and still playing against Pep and still playing against a team bending the rules.
the transition from Klopp has been seemless. if anything Slott has brought much needed calmness & control. some of the players seem rejuvinated under Arne, especially Gravenberch, Mo, Konate & VVD. so far so good, but no need for the open top bus just yet.
Fans on IG were so in uproar about not signing a DM but I was saying Slot likes the two CMs in there, yes theyre not so defensive but with the CBs getting behind the ball more its okay AND they are more versatile to go forward too when needed (Gravenberch on Sunday). He is so cool and smart tactically as well and changes things on the spot which is great
Mainoo is a potentially great player, but Man Utd are putting far too much on him at such a young age. Getting pulled into the England Team is ridiculous. It’s at the point of actively harming his development. Liverpool’s Bajcetic is a better player, but they are taking it steady with him.
Actually the reason why we have a successful continuity is our owners FSG prepared the plan for Slot to continue from Klopp. It’s not just Slot came in and change everything. We don’t spend millions on new players and expect them to do magic right away on the pitch. We believe in player development through data science and make sure the player is fit for our playing style. Other clubs spends billion, changes managers…. they change things so often.
Klopp greatest Liverpool manager in my opinion. Slot has the same philosophy as Klopp but just from the first few games I get the impression that he is a bit more strategic when compared to Klopp especially in the middle of the park. Case in point not conceding any goals yet, whereas I think we may have conceded these last year
@@robertoc2485 Clearly I said in my opinion but I get what you are saying, maybe I should have clarified and said since I started supporting liverpool in 1994 and what I had watched. Cant deny what Paisley and Shanks did
@@DNaidoo85 Very good reply. I wasn't a fan around the Paisley - Shanks periods.

I think Liverpool made the right decision not signing to many new players from the get go just for the sake of buying, especially when getting in a new manager. When Slot has found his bearings for the first half of the season it's a much better moment to add new players in the January transfer window. Better way to go about financials, and finding the right fits imo.
@@99footballfreakThiago for 30M was and still is a brilliant bit of business. Injuries were unfortunate but for the price and quality of him it’s insane
Liverpool fan here. Spot on Mark, great analysis. Ahead of all rival TH-camrs and so-called pundits with your opinion on Slot and the progression so far.
As a Liverpool supporter, I feel so privileged to be able to have said goodbye to a beloved manager before things turned sour, which is what happens so often. And now to evolve under Slot is so exciting
It's not easy transitioning to Hyper Pace Klopp system to much more Pragmatic Slow build up Slot ball but somehow he made these players work on his system Gravernberch is playing like Sergio busquts it's insane
4:06 - "I don't think Liverpool's model is about a lack of spending" Mark... Their net spend is 9th over the last entire DECADE: Man utd €1204M Chelsea €1049M Arsenal €853M Man City €832M Spurs €657M Newcastle €577M West Ham €549M Villa €444M Liverpool €420M Bournemouth €338M
Very well analyzed, Mark! I see some Liverpool content on TH-cam where "Fans" rage about FSG not spending enough, but i think as a Liverpool Fan you have to see they have been really going in the right direction in the last years, winning titles, investing in the Stadium and Training ground without breaking any financial rules. In the long run this will pay off!
Very well said mark but one of the key things for Arne slot is there wasn’t any dead wood to get rid of plus the transition of gravenbirch into the pivot with macallister has just saved us over 100mill easy plus the squad depth is quite strong 👍
It's a strong start, and regardless of opponents it's easy to drop points against anyone in the first few games whilst the team is finding it's feet. Especially so with a new manager. As a fan, you hope and expect to only see improvement.
People forget we came within 8 games of winning the league playing gung ho, unsustainable football. All we needed was defensive structure becquse we have the players up top and creative midfielders. Its looking good.
What is this nonsense mental gymnastics you Liverpool fans do? Arsenal lost 1 game in the run in and in the whole of the second half of the season and we are called bottlers and failures but you fall off 8 games away and think it is something to praise? Get out of here 😂😂.
Mark, a massive Liverpool fan from last 2 decades,there's no shame to admit that I love your unbiased takes! Cheers mate! Well, the Liverpool start this season has surprised a lot of us fans...however this is a result of solid foundation by Jurgen and a couple of signings will make us among the top 3 teams in the world with utmost certainty! ( Real and City are the other two and Arsenal a close 4th )
We Liverpool fans know exactly where we are in respect to our start to the season. It's been a great start, better than expected but it's just three games. Yes we can see what Slot and his coaches are doing with the team and it's very encouraging but as Slot has already mentioned, the team is still developing. Slot has been blessed with a great squad left by Klopp which has made his job a bit easier. I will say that Slot has surprised a lot of people with his football intelligence and the fact that he's more of a coach than Klopp. Klopp was more manager. The Liverpool team under Klopp was built by him but coached by his staff. Slot is much more hands on and it shows.
Mark, as a football fan 1st, and LFC fan... I appreciate your, honest, non-biased and intelligent analysis... Especially being a United fan. Not many United fans have your football intelligence and understanding... From club management, to tactics, signings, continuity etc.
Liverpool are a great example of how to run a football club that doesn't have infinite cash. Not being held to ransom by player contracts. Not overspending or being pushed above their valuation on transfers. Intelligent talent evaluation on and off the pitch. A clear identity, and also now clearly an awareness of how important continuity is. Brighton are another great example too
Facts 💯
I hope this view is clearly held by our reasonable fans. Thanks for articulating it!

What a great appointment, again! Liverpool don't mess around. Played it so cool, this guy is a worthy successor to Klopp.
What a difference in management at Liverpool, compared to Chelsea where Mr. Boehly fired everyone, coaches, back room staff, all of them. He suddenly had nobody that knew how to do their jobs. The new people got thrown into the fire and didn't have any help. Liverpool brings in new people slowly and has faith in them to learn the right way, and it shows.
Yeah only the heads of department coming with slot that have changed, all academy coaches, day to day training staff etc remains minimum upheaval for everyone, perfect management of club imo. Everyone moans about money not noticing just how well Liverpool is actually run.
Got to feel sorry for Chelsea and that"money can buy you anything"philosophy 😂😂
When man utd were winning just about everything in sight, it was really hard as a Liverpool supporter to give them the credit that they deserved. The rivalry is SO intense. So, having said that, fair play to Mark & his honest assessments here.
There's no doubt that, whatever their respective league positions, Liverpool vs man u is still, by far, the biggest game in English football. Nothing comes close, when you consider the success that the two sides have had over the years. Head & shoulders above everybody else.
THIS is what football's all about.
Man united fans are so happy to give credit to liverpool because Liverpool aren't winning titles ,if liverpool were wining titles like man city no United fan would credit liverpool
@@lungalunga1470 Your wrong there. Nowadays there's actually, amongst the intense rivalry, a healthy respect from both sets of fans.. Not the tragedy/poverty chanting idiots, but the genuine supporters.
The two cities are actually VERY similar & the sensible ones recognise that.

I just love that all the rival fans were saying Liverpool are finished after Klopp
Instead Liverpool Upgraded 😂

Finished club

I truly appreciate your unbiased opinion Mark. It's really rare to stumble upon rival fans who are able to have a neutral discussion without having any bias, but you're able to do exactly that. Good stuff.
44yrs supporting liverpool I'm also surprised how the players adapted to new style or tactics very quickly Slot surprised me with his tactical masterclass
As a lifelong Liverpool supporter I appreciate your honesty. Well done.
Slot style of play is a perfect harmony of Klopp and Guardiola' football philosophy. He has combined Tika taka of Guardialo and klopps gegenpressing in a singular style and this is the most effective tactical method of playing football.

The transition from Klopp to Slot has been seamless, slick and smooth and believe it or not Slot is an upgrade to Klopp cause tactically we are way balanced and controlled and deadly with the ball
🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
Slot is better mate. Hard to admit but its just the reality. Liverpool fan here
Cant compare just 3 games of Slot to 9 years of Klopp
Look at the squad Klopp has started with and where he has taken liverpool
Cmon now, pump the brakes a little. I like Slot, but it’s been only THREE games.
I’m amazed people aren’t mentioning that Man united and Liverpool played a preseason game in the USA a month ago. Same result 3-0 to LFC. It appears that Ten Hag learnt nothing.
The training videos under Slot appear to be very different from Klopp. Large group rondo games and the gym built for strength and conditioning. Not just exercise. He’s used the midfield 3 in a different way.
If not for the failure to punish that 115 club, if not for dodgy inconsistent refs, Liverpool would have had at least 2 more titles
or if they stopped not having the bottle for it
Yeah 115 was kicking the ball and 115 scoring goals good point covering up liverpool failure

Still hurts man especially rodri handball against everton how is that not a penalty i Still don't know 😢😢
Feyenoord fan here who watched both feyenoord and liverpool last year, its not only that Slot has the respect to continue on Klopps work. But they already where quite the same anyway, both play in the same line up, both like to press and play energetic football which entertain the crowd, they both are good people managers and can improve young players even the way they handle the media is quite the same hahah. And sure Slot is changing some things here and there like being in possestion a little more and little changes in defending and pressing, but the big picture is staying the same. so they didnt looked for someone who was willing to contintue the project, they looked for someone who is going to do his own thing while that thing was a close as possible as it was now, and i can assure you Slot is defenatly just doing his own thing cuz how they play is excactly how Feyenoord and Az played under him. Thats why he is just such a good trainer, his way of playing is at everry club verry clear from the 3th game on, at feyenoord first year he came he only spend 5 million and after 3 games they played like that, year later they sold more than half the team (cuz of need for money), spend less than what came in, complete new team and you guess it, in gameweek 3 they already played like that. I am telling you what you see now is just the tip of the iceberg this man is absolutely INSANE and i am telling you this man is gonna do Big things with Liverpool, already said that he is going to play for first place in epl when he just came in, many laughed at me and made a fool of me, but watch and see
Slot is a Don....and he wasn't 3rd choice LFC had all this planned, that's why we have all these Dutch players as well.....all the media PR stuff is a charade....the way that he packs whatever part of the pitch the team are operating will make it really hard for any team to score and Arne is hardcore, if you don't do your job, do the work then you won't play, but because he's bang on with his tactics he gets the respect and its a positive feedback now....no goals conceding is just amazing, that's how you win leagues.....
They wanted alonso don't lie.
@@KTopics I don't know, Alonso knows his own mind and he's a Red, they would have probably had a conversation and known what he wanted to do....but he is a good manager....Slot has more experience though....
Never thought a hardcore Utd fan would be the most unbiased pundit around, Fair play💪.
So true Mark. I appreciate your honest view being a united fan. 😊
The Flying Pig is great too..
I'm a Liverpool fan and there's NO WAY I was expecting the transition to be this smooth. I couldn't be more impressed with how Slot has put this team together.
Clearly, FSG know how to run a football club.
Agree with you
Please don't give credit to John Henry etc.
The continuity has been great and the start to the season has been perfect. Biggest surprise to me is not only the clean sheets, but also the sheer lack of big chances we are giving up at the back, which is a stark contrast to last season, without dampening the attacking prowess of the team. For a manager to do that is pretty special, considering alot of the players missed the pre-season tour because of the Euros. Being top of the league in XG and bottom in XG against is remarkable honestly. My only concern is the lack of reinforcements and possible injuries to the DMs and CBs as the season becomes 3 games a week, but so far, I cant complain
Imagine thinking Liverpool were going to have a drop off. 😂🤦🏻♂️
Well see against real
Yes we will.
Gravenberch's transformation under Slot is unbelievable and Klopp to Slot transition is reminding me of Shankly to Paisley Shankly build the team and Paisley dominated it same as Klopp did for Slot
Klopp was only the beginning. Slot is gonna take Liverpool to a whole new level. Real, City, Liverpool.
Arne Slot is doing things the right way. He recognizes that the talent is already set and changing things will only be their downfall. I noticed the one things that is very important here. He minimized the use of Gegenpressing to which if they have a lead instead of pushing for more pressing he turns them into a tiki taka version of Barcelona punishing the opponents defense this will be crucial because the premier league is a very grinding season which I think the players there have appreciated this because their longevity has been prioritized.
Great post.
Klopps downfall was giving Nunez too many minutes near the end. His conversion was horrible and it cost him. However the team slot has inherited in nothing short of incredible.
Arguably one of the best right wingers in prem history in Salah
VVD
Alison
Trent
Diaz
Robertson
It’s literally unbelievable how good they are
Definitely..
Liverpool fan here. Just want to say your unbiased fact-based commentary is much needed. Keep up the good work.
I’ve been a Liverpool fan since 1978, been through it all and seen some great managers. And some mediocre ones. Slot seems to have brought some order to the chaos that was often there under Klopp. Good solid start, hope it continues..👍🏻
Great post.
Shored up the defence, more in control of the game, just as deadly at the business end of the park and what a lot of people seem to be missing, this is only the second season together for the midfield rebuild and so far he's got Salah back to his lethal best and Diaz on fire. We will challenge
As an Arsenal fan I think Pool will bag the title this season. You seem to be more electric than any other top 4 teams at the moment.
Chiesa warming up on the sidelines to relieve Diaz or Salah should scare the living day lights of every fullback in the league.
If we actually make signings this January unlike last winter window were winning pl. Grav as 8 next to a dm plus mac allister is crazy good@onlydbrasko
Remember the Slots ball started from pre-season winning side and it’s continued. Shoutout to FSG
this is why i follow this dude even ad a LFC fan, passionate for his club, but still see other clubs and can talk about other clubs achivments etc.
as a Liverpool fan, Im as excited as the next person but if we've learned anything from observing the prem, its to not overestimate ourselves especially when its only the start of the season.
The way Liverpool as a family club have transitioned show you how strong that club is. Nice video mark! Great content.
As a Liverpool fan for over 40 years, we are not unbelievable. Slot has started from a very solid position, his style of play is very similar to Klopp's, and the season is only 3 games old. Man U are poor, the other 2 games you would expect us to win. Once we have played the contenders we will see where we stand.
You’re not a true fan, regardless of how many years you’ve watched them. Slot has not lost a match yet, the defense has improved a ton. Even in pre season.
@@mikemwpsHes not a true fan for thinking logically?😂
@@mikemwpswhat has being cautious in the assessment of the ability of your club todo with being a true fan or not?
I think we should not underestimate how challenging it will be to come work in a place haunted by Klopp's ghost. Almost every interview with Liverpool players reference Klopp. Every article, discussion, tactical breakdown on Liverpool has Klopp's shadow all over it. To come and work in an environment such as this and succeed takes incredible self-belief and strength of character, apart from obviously being a good coach. Early days but I think Arne Slot deserves a lot more credit.
My thoughts aswell, Ynwa
What Slot has done is create a hybrid system of his style at Feyenoord and Klopp's Liverpool style. So we still have that dynamism in attack, but we're also much more controlled in possession and far more compact in defence.
Great post reply
The most important factor here is that Slot seems able to dissect the opponents tactics very quickly and give clear concise instructions to his player on how to overcome them. Klopp was a supreme motivator but over a season burnt these players out and the drop off was severe when it came.
I wouldn't have predicted this. Slot is such a good manager. He's got his style of play on the players immediately . Hopefully Chiesa hits the ground running too.
Slot is a record breaking manager! At Feyenoord he set so many new club and eredivisie records!
I know it’s early days but the fact he’s come in and the players are talking positively about him and his tactics bodes well. You can actually see how much he respects what the team has done previously and tweaked it. Great point that he’s not come in with an ego and wanted to change everything
I'm not going to get too excited. It's undoubtedly a good start though. I'm very impressed with the clean sheets and I hope they can get a lot more of those this season. VVD used to have a real passion for clean sheets!
Nah VVD is Dutch and uses a duvet.
I think the biggest thing that’s caught everyone offside was the fact they look energetic, excited, just like the season when we won.
With exception to TAA the big baby 😂
Liverpool problem is always the defending which klopp was lacking. Too much offensive power. If that's not the case, they would win alot more trophy. Now under slot, it looks like a fortress.
One correction - Arne Slot was Liverpool’s first choice. Alonso ruled himself out of any job before Liverpool had their DOF in place, and Amorim was ruled out due to the differences in playing style between him and Klopp. De Zerbi was also mention in rumours, but never really got beyond that.
As a Liverpool fan I was very pessimistic about slot after enjoying many years under Klopp but I am now realising that this is very much a fantastic appointment. I’m not an FSG fan but they have certainly got this appointment right
I think you may well be a pessimist. How about the new Kit any comments either way?
@@terrykirby-fahey7363 love them all this year.
As a United fan Liverpool continuity and what they’ve done with slot is impressive
I’m a Liverpool fan and I believed this would be our ‘building’ season under a new manager where he saw what’s was wrong with the team and what’s good, but I also thought we wouldn’t do great this season because slot has just changed the team tremendously and going into the next game I’m very optimistic of what slot can do and what he has already done it’s so nice to see one manager has respected their predecessor in a way and it’s looking good at the moment very happy with the way slot has built on klopp’s original team - outstanding.
Excellent post.
Slot knows how the bring the best out of every player..i've witnessed that the last 3 seasons at Feyenoord..the best 3 seasons i have ever seen in my 40+ years as a Feyenoord fan
I really like the way Liverpool play, the speed and attack front foot always ✌️ I am not even Liverpool fan 🙌

The transition of Liverpool FC from Klopp to Slot reminds me of the transition from Shankly to Paisley. It's THAT smooth
Your analysis is bang on mate.
the transition from Klopp has been seemless. if anything Slott has brought much needed calmness & control. some of the players seem rejuvinated under Arne, especially Gravenberch, Mo, Konate & VVD. so far so good, but no need for the open top bus just yet.
Fans on IG were so in uproar about not signing a DM but I was saying Slot likes the two CMs in there, yes theyre not so defensive but with the CBs getting behind the ball more its okay AND they are more versatile to go forward too when needed (Gravenberch on Sunday). He is so cool and smart tactically as well and changes things on the spot which is great
Feel bad Mainoo even as a Liverpool fan, stuck in a rotten club / set up
Hes be perfect in our pivot to be honest
Ok…
he has to play with bruno fernandes and casemiro I feel for the guy
yeah, he has the talent. though he is being overhyped and setup at both club and country level.
Mainoo is a potentially great player, but Man Utd are putting far too much on him at such a young age. Getting pulled into the England Team is ridiculous. It’s at the point of actively harming his development.
Liverpool’s Bajcetic is a better player, but they are taking it steady with him.
Actually the reason why we have a successful continuity is our owners FSG prepared the plan for Slot to continue from Klopp. It’s not just Slot came in and change everything. We don’t spend millions on new players and expect them to do magic right away on the pitch. We believe in player development through data science and make sure the player is fit for our playing style. Other clubs spends billion, changes managers…. they change things so often.
fantastic insights Mark. Balanced and informed as usual.
Klopp greatest Liverpool manager in my opinion. Slot has the same philosophy as Klopp but just from the first few games I get the impression that he is a bit more strategic when compared to Klopp especially in the middle of the park. Case in point not conceding any goals yet, whereas I think we may have conceded these last year
Klopp is definitely not Liverpools greatest manager
No he wasn't! Paisley, Shanks?
@@robertoc2485 Clearly I said in my opinion but I get what you are saying, maybe I should have clarified and said since I started supporting liverpool in 1994 and what I had watched. Cant deny what Paisley and Shanks did

I think Liverpool made the right decision not signing to many new players from the get go just for the sake of buying, especially when getting in a new manager. When Slot has found his bearings for the first half of the season it's a much better moment to add new players in the January transfer window. Better way to go about financials, and finding the right fits imo.

Very well analyzed, Mark! I see some Liverpool content on TH-cam where "Fans" rage about FSG not spending enough, but i think as a Liverpool Fan you have to see they have been really going in the right direction in the last years, winning titles, investing in the Stadium and Training ground without breaking any financial rules. In the long run this will pay off!
1:22 I just love how Mark keeps putting Man United in pair to Man City and Arsenal.
Very well said mark but one of the key things for Arne slot is there wasn’t any dead wood to get rid of plus the transition of gravenbirch into the pivot with macallister has just saved us over 100mill easy plus the squad depth is quite strong 👍
It's a strong start, and regardless of opponents it's easy to drop points against anyone in the first few games whilst the team is finding it's feet.
Especially so with a new manager.
As a fan, you hope and expect to only see improvement.
You can already see slot is a special manager and I’m not even being overexcited lol
People forget we came within 8 games of winning the league playing gung ho, unsustainable football. All we needed was defensive structure becquse we have the players up top and creative midfielders. Its looking good.
What is this nonsense mental gymnastics you Liverpool fans do? Arsenal lost 1 game in the run in and in the whole of the second half of the season and we are called bottlers and failures but you fall off 8 games away and think it is something to praise? Get out of here 😂😂.
Klopp's high-octane playstyle depletes fitness. That's why Liverpool always found it difficult to close out the season with a bang.
Mark, a massive Liverpool fan from last 2 decades,there's no shame to admit that I love your unbiased takes! Cheers mate!
Well, the Liverpool start this season has surprised a lot of us fans...however this is a result of solid foundation by Jurgen and a couple of signings will make us among the top 3 teams in the world with utmost certainty! ( Real and City are the other two and Arsenal a close 4th )
Arsenal 🤡 they can’t even win a European cup they’re a pathetic club
As a Liverpool fan . Slot has done what Klopp wouldn't do and keeping Nunez as a sub ..
Nunez should not even be a sub.... His football IQ is not upto standard
We Liverpool fans know exactly where we are in respect to our start to the season. It's been a great start, better than expected but it's just three games. Yes we can see what Slot and his coaches are doing with the team and it's very encouraging but as Slot has already mentioned, the team is still developing. Slot has been blessed with a great squad left by Klopp which has made his job a bit easier. I will say that Slot has surprised a lot of people with his football intelligence and the fact that he's more of a coach than Klopp. Klopp was more manager. The Liverpool team under Klopp was built by him but coached by his staff. Slot is much more hands on and it shows.
Very genuine assessment
