Liverpool have enjoyed a superb start to the new season under Arne Slot, with impressive team displays helping them so far.
Slot has guided Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table, along with wins in the Champions League and League Cup.
Kris Boyd has been proven wrong by Slot, with the Dutchman really impressing since taking over from Jurgen Klopp at Anfield in the summer.
He has quickly won over the Liverpool supporters, although worries still remain over the futures of several key players.
Academy graduate Trent Alexander-Arnold could be heading for a Liverpool exit, with his contract on Merseyside set to expire next summer.

Fellow star men Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk will also see their deals expire next summer, with no updates on any new deals taking place.
Fabrizio Romano has, however, shared an update on two other Liverpool players closing in on new contracts.
He wrote about centre-backs Ibrahima Konate and Jarell Quansah, saying of the former on X: “Liverpool have opened talks over new deal for Ibrahima Konaté as he’s considered key part of the project. Discussions ongoing and expected to advance soon as Ibrahima is happy at Liverpool.”
And Romano said of the latter on X: “Liverpool are closing in on the agreement to extend Jarell Quansah contract, new deal with pay rise ready. Quansah has already accepted to stay.”
Ibrahima Konate and Jarell Quansah deals are bittersweet for Liverpool fans
Liverpool fans will be delighted with two of their defenders seemingly closing in on committing their futures to the club.
Konate has come on leaps and bounds under Slot, forming a formidable partnership with Van Dijk at the back.
Quansah meanwhile has faded away under the Dutchman, having been taking off at half-time in the very first game of the season.

But at 21, he is clearly a player for the future, and is only going to improve under Slot and indeed alongside the likes of Konate and Van Dijk.
There will, however, be frustration at the lack of updates regarding a new deal for the skipper, along with no news on Alexander-Arnold and Salah.
