Many said it would be an ‘impossible job’. Manchester United and Arsenal both dipped after the departures of Alex Ferguson and Arsène Wenger, so obviously, the same would happen to Liverpool when Jürgen Klopp stepped aside, right?
Well, 10 games into the Arne Slot reign at Anfield and Liverpool are in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, have maximum points in the league phase of the Champions League and sit top of the Premier League. Slot is the first Reds boss to win as many as nine of his first 10 games in charge of the club.
