ARNE SLOT OFFERS SEASON VERDICT SO FAR

There is no doubting that Liverpool couldn’t have started this season much better.

Top of the league after six games, beaten Milan away in the Champions League and through to the fourth round of the League Cup. Luis Diaz has five goals, Mo Salah is doing Mo Salah things, Trent Alexander-Arnold is in midseason form and a whole host of other players have taken huge steps up.

But new manager Arne Slot knows that getting ahead of yourself can be a death sentence.

And he, of course, has a point. Five of Liverpool’s first six league opponents sit in the bottom half of the table at the time of writing – including two of the bottom three – and their only top-half opponent, a Nottingham Forest side that beat them 1-0 at Anfield, currently sit 9th.
