Liverpool continued their impressive form this week with victories against Brighton and Bayer Leverkusen to position themselves top of both the Premier League and the revamped UEFA Champions League.

The Reds' impressive progress is testament to the impact of new head coach Arne Slot.

The Dutchman has gone about his work in convicing fashion this season, winning 14 of 16 games he has taken charge of so far.

But just what has been the most impressive aspect of the early days of Slot's reign?

It bodes well.

With the Reds healthily placed at the top of the Premier League and UEFA Champions League tables, it’s safe to say Arne Slot has already exceeded all expectations we might have had for him at the start of the season.

Surely a systematic, stylistic dismantling of the Bundesliga champions will be enough to silence the critics, for now at least.

The Liverpool manager position has always been an enviable role, but after Klopp’s departure, the position must have felt in some ways undesirable because of the success that Klopp brought and the legacy he left.

How could any manager have the same seismic influence over the team, the club, and the fans?

Arne Slot seems to have appreciated the tall task that lay ahead, but quietly, and confidently, he is building that confidence in his vision, his style, and his managerial credentials.

Our early success seems to be due to the way that Slot has tempered the intensity of Klopp’s style

We have also seen the emergence of other players such as Curtis Jones, who now is influencing games with goals and assists, things that escaped him in previous years.

Our early success on the domestic and European stage may well transpire to be transient, but there is a growing feeling that Slot can bring major honours.
