Liverpool manager Arne Slot has enjoyed a superb start to life in England, with the Reds top of the Premier League table.
Slot was always going to be under huge pressure in his early time at Liverpool, having taken over from Anfield legend Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool’s rivals are not worried about Slot’s strong start, but the Dutchman will simply not be listening to any outside noise at this moment in time.
Alan Shearer and Micah Richards praised Slot after the latest victory over Crystal Palace, which leaves Liverpool a point ahead of Man City and Arsenal.
It is, of course, very early in the season, but fans of the Merseyside club can have very few complaints so far.

Diogo Jota was the hero against the Eagles, with the attacker scoring the only goal of the game as Slot rotated his XI.
And that squad depth has drawn praise from pundit Chris Sutton, who said on The Monday Night Club on BBC 5 Live Sport: “I looked at the Liverpool bench at the weekend, and I know they made changes as well and rotated a little bit, and when I see Man City’s squad and a lot being made about Rodri’s injury, and they’re going to miss him of course, and you look at Arsenal and Arteta gives young players opportunities.

“But you look at Liverpool’s squad and think ‘Blimey’, that’s strong, that’s a deep squad that they’ve got. And they’re not going under the radar really, but I don’t think any of us really thought at the start of the season that Liverpool would be serious title contenders, and just at this moment in time, it’s a pretty impressive start from Slot.”
Can Liverpool continue their strong form under Arne Slot?
The Liverpool manager will be frustrated that another international break is now taking place, which is certain to disrupt the momentum at Anfield.
But he simply needs to continue his hard work behind the scenes over the coming weeks, before hopefully welcoming back all of his international players fit and healthy.
Fatigue and injury are certain to play key roles in the Premier League title race once more this season, with Slot needing his entire squad to step up when called upon.
They have certainly answered his call so far, but it remains to be seen how long they can continue winning matches.
The Reds have been dealing well with the busy schedule, but the Premier League title charge will become even more difficult as the latter stages of other competitions come into play.
