All signs point to Slot being a talented coach and that Liverpool can compete for the Premier League title.
"Liverpool have only had 2 matches, while Ipswich has just been promoted and Brentford is an opponent you would expect to beat them. However, the pressure has been relieved. If Klopp is still Liverpool's coach, who Fans expect them to surpass Arsenal and Man City. With the coach, the pressure on them has been relieved," said Glenn Hoddle, former England player and coach.

But we still have a lot to prove this season because I've said this many times already, both Ipswich and Brentford, deserve our respect for the way they played us, but I don't expect One of the two teams will be in the Top 6.
Therefore, Liverpool still has a lot to do to prove itself. But starting the tournament with 2 wins and 2 clean sheets is very good."
