Jamie Carragher says one thing he really likes about Arne Slot that is different from Jurgen Klopp

Arne Slot has continued his fine start to life as Liverpool manager after beating Brentford on his Anfield debut.

Virgil van Dijk believes in Liverpool this season, with the centre-back set for another massive campaign at Anfield.

Slot guided Liverpool to a 2-0 win at Ipswich on the opening day of the season, and has now followed that up with a 2-0 win at home to Brentford.

Alisson says Slot wants clean sheets, and the new Reds manager now has two from his first two competitive matches.

It is certainly a difference from the heavy metal football witnessed under Jurgen Klopp, with Liverpool often prioritising attack over defence under the German.

Slot will want a good mixture of both, which is what the Dutchman has seen in his brief time in the Anfield dugout.

And former Reds defender Jamie Carragher has noticed another difference between the two managers after sitting down with the current incumbent.

On what he has found from talking to Slot, Carragher told Sky Sports Premier League: “That he’s a serious football coach, as you would expect at the level he’s at now.

“I think he’s going to be different from Jurgen Klopp, I think we can see that from the first game, even the way he was at the end of the game. We’d normally expect those fist pumps to the away end, at Portman Road we didn’t see that.

“And just speaking to him, seeing him in the press conference, the thing that really stands out for me is one, he’s different, but the thing I really enjoy is he’s not trying to be anything else.

“He’s been authentic, he’s been himself, he’s not trying to play up to some role of ‘Jurgen Klopp was like this, this is how I have to be as the Liverpool manager’.

“And I think that’s gone down [well] with the Liverpool supporters. It’s not an act, he’s been himself, as Jurgen Klopp was, and it’s been a decent start so far, but it’s only one game.”

Liverpool fans will be delighted with Arne Slot so far

It has, of course, been a very short spell for Slot at Anfield, but fans of the Merseyside club will be relatively happy with his tenure so far.

Having won on the road against Ipswich, he picked up another important three points in potentially tricky home tie against Brentford.

It is now four goals scored and none conceded from two matches so far, leaving the Reds joint-top of the table.

There will, however, still be frustration from some fans that no new players have been signed in the transfer window.

Time is running out for Slot and his recruitment team if indeed they do plan on making at least one signature, but perhaps the boss is fully satisfied with his current group.
