Best performers under Arne Slot so far during his tenure

A look at standout players under Slot.

Transcript

00:00Well, looking at Liverpool and obviously Arnie Schlott coming in, you know, in the summer and a massive change.

00:07You know, a lot of fans didn't really know quite what to expect, you know.

00:11If you compared it to Eric Ten Haag coming from Eredivisie, it could have gone one of two ways.

00:16But Arnie Schlott has really taken well to the city and the fans.

00:19And, you know, the club as well have seemingly really openly accepted him as if they did with Jürgen Klopp.

00:26So that's really honourable from them.

00:28You know, he's obviously made a fantastic start to life at Liverpool.

00:32But who have been the standout players who've maybe, you know, he's sort of tapped, you know,

00:37unreached potential with them or they've just sort of maybe started to come a bit more of a regular under Schlott?

00:44Who's that sort of been and how, you know, important have they been for him so far under Arnie Schlott?

00:50Well, the ones you're looking at, if you're talking about the ones who've really come to the fore,

00:55then obviously Mo Salah's majestic performances.

00:57I mean, Ryan Gravenberch, I've said it so many times, has been excellent in that No. 6 role.

01:02I think he has a little bit of a, I don't want to say a stuttering of a maiden season at Liverpool,

01:06but it was difficult for him to get real regular starts under his belt.

01:11But in that No. 6 role, he's really thrived and he's maybe saved Liverpool a lot of money by, you know,

01:19the ones, Martin Zuperman and Ryan Gravenberch have been excellent in that position.

01:24He's had so much control and he adds a little bit of physicality, a little bit of bite off the ball as well.

01:31And I've been really impressed by how Arnie Schlott's managed to keep Ibrahim Okanati fit.

01:38No one's ever disputed the Frenchman's qualities ever since he arrived at the club,

01:44but he's picked up so many niggles over time.

01:47It's been frustrating for him, to be honest with you.

01:50I know he's picked up a little issue and it's ended up being a bit of a prolonged absence.

01:56And the way Woody is, I doubt whether he could play two games in a week.

02:01He's playing very consistently for Liverpool and France so far this season.

02:07They're probably the two that stick out, but I think he's done really well.

02:11Curtis Jones as well, he's really kicking on now.

02:15Curtis Jones, he likes that little bit more control that Arnie Schlott's deployed for Avon Jürgen Klopp.

02:22It was a little bit more about counter-pressing and going to win the ball, which he was great at.

02:27But I think he likes getting on the ball and being able to put his foot on it and really get things going.

02:33And a little bit of a mention for Dava Nunes as well, because he has to score a lot of goals,

02:37but his pressing has been really impressive this season.

02:40I think maybe we don't judge him just on goals anymore.

02:46Whereas when he was in Klopp's system, it was very much creating chances for him.

02:51He has a lot of chances that he would miss.

02:54He isn't getting too many chances this season, but he's being maybe a little bit more of a focal point.
