The Feyenoord head coach had won a historic club just their second league title of the 21st century.

Liverpool came third last season but both Slot and his captain, Virgil van Dijk, have said that no one expected them to challenge for the title this year.

Another was that, for the Liverpool players who spent their summer at Euro 2024 or the Copa America, their first experience of Slot was delayed until a few training sessions before the two friendlies against Las Palmas and Sevilla, a week before the season started.

A dominant victory over Manchester United had particular resonance, given how Liverpool hit a roadblock at Old Trafford in both the FA Cup and the Premier League last season.

If the victors were irritated by Slot’s inference that it was the kind of match Liverpool ought to win, it may have been an illustration not to underestimate the supposed lesser lights – though Forest proved they did not belong in that category – and the Dutchman spent the rest of the season insisting every win in the Premier League was difficult.

By the time Liverpool lost form and momentum themselves, it may have cost them the Carabao Cup – Slot felt they did much right in the Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain – but not the Premier League.
