Arne Slot has been quite the hit at Liverpool this season since replacing Jurgen Klopp in the hot seat.

The Dutch manager has led Liverpool to the top of the Premier League and UEFA Champions League standings as well as the semi-finals of the League Cup, with the Reds also this weekend booking their ticket in the fourth-round of the FA Cup.

With Accrington Stanley chairman’s lauding Slot as ‘class’ after this weekend’s fixture at Anfield, the Liverpool coach has been everything fans wanted in a replacement in Klopp and then some, with the Merseyside giants in contention for a quadruple once again.

And Wataru Endo has shared one key difference between playing for Slot compared to Klopp at Liverpool.

Liverpool ‘more stable’ under Slot compared to Klopp

Speaking to the press after Saturday’s 4-0 win, the Japanese international noted that Liverpool are now ‘more stable’ under Slot when compared to Klopp, with Endo also noting that he and the rest of his teammates are enjoying playing in the Dutchman’s system.

Endo said: “I wouldn’t say there’s a lot of difference, we want to put pressure high. I think the new manager is more stable so he likes the players to stay in their positions how he wants and that’s different. But I really enjoy how he plays at the moment and I think everyone enjoys playing his tactics.”

With Accrington Stanley’s manager also lauding Slot as ‘world-class’, the Liverpool manager has seemingly succeded in proving to the English footballing world that he has the credentials to take on a job as big as succeeding Klopp.

And with Liverpool once again one step closer to a major title, supporters will want this wave to never end with Slot, who could realistically end this season with a historic quadruple if the Merseyside giants can avoid key injuries.

Slot can make English football history if he invests this January

The January transfer window is open for business, with Liverpool believed to be interested in improving four positions in the squad as Slot looks to take his squad to the next level in 2025.

And if Slot wants to make English football history, the Dutch coach will have to invest this month in the right players if he’s to win the quadruple, with Liverpool already believed to be in contact for Slavia Prague defender El Hadji Malick Diouf.

With the aforementioned Endo also rumoured to be ‘unhappy’ at Liverpool, a replacement midfielder could be needed if the 31-year-old opts to leave Anfield in the coming weeks, increasing pressure for Slot and his team to find a quality successor for the Japanese international.
