Pundit Praises Liverpool’s Strong Start Under Arne Slot

Ste Plunkett from The Redmen TV joined the BBC Radio Merseyside Total Sport show to discuss Liverpool’s impressive start to the season with new boss Arne Slot at the helm. “We trust [Arne] Slot. We have had nine clean sheets in this run. We are winning games and getting into positions to win games from a solid base. I am a big fan of his approach,” Plunkett stated. Slot’s squad entered the international break leading the Premier League by five points, having achieved nine victories, one draw, and one defeat in their first 11 games of the campaign. Plunkett added: “What we have got now is control. That will often see us take half an hour, sometimes a whole half, to understand what we have to do. The best illustration of that was the Leverkusen game.” Liverpool faced difficulties breaking down Bayer Leverkusen during the first half of their Champions League fixture last Wednesday, but then netted four goals in the second half to emerge as comfortable winners at Anfield. That result placed them two points clear at the top of the Champions League league phase standings, making them the only team to have won all four matches so far. Plunkett concluded: “We should be 100% behind this guy because he is seeing the challenges put in front of him and he is finding ways to deal with them.”
