Coach Arne Slot had an impressive start as Liverpool coach. In fact, this is the best start to any other "captain" of The Kop. Liverpool have won 9 out of the first 10 matches in all competitions.
In Premier League history, no other new manager has won more points (18) or created a better goal difference (+11) than Slot in his first seven games. Only one has achieved both, and another has achieved the same total but a worse goal difference. They are Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola.
And these are also the last two managers to lead a Premier League club to the Champions League. Therefore, even though it is too early, Liverpool fans still have hope.
This summer, Liverpool said goodbye to one of the greatest coaches in football history, Jurgen Klopp. And they have hardly added any personnel to the squad. Goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili will stay at Valencia on loan for another season, while Federico Chiesa has not had much playing time.
However, Liverpool have not lost any strength, even more formidable. Of course, it must be affirmed that the foundation at Anfield has been built solidly. If anything, defensive midfield is the only position they have been pursuing recently.
The "Red Brigade" currently has one of the best attack lines in Europe, both in terms of quantity and quality. Although their finishing efficiency is not high, Liverpool's ability to create opportunities is extremely impressive. Even with a number of key forwards injured throughout the season, the Reds' attack has never really weakened.
Despite a thin midfield, last season's trio of new signings Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai were enough for Slot to operate. In addition, the players from the same academy such as Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott are also getting more mature.
At right-back, Conor Bradley emerged last season as a great back-up for Trent Alexander-Arnold. On the opposite wing, Andy Robertson is still one of the best players in the world, while Kostas Tsimikas and Joe Gomez help add depth.
In the center-back position, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are one of the best couples in the world. Jarell Quansah also shows great potential for development.
Even in goal, they have depth. Alisson is considered the best goalkeeper at the moment, with Caoimhin Kelleher ready to play the role of a replacement.
Slot's main personnel change was to include Gravenberch in the starting lineup. The Dutch midfielder is solving Liverpool's "number 6" problem and has played every minute of the season so far.
With the current players, Liverpool was once a strong candidate for the Premier League title last season. Therefore, it is not surprising that with new energy from Slot, the Anfield team will become a challenger once again.
