Liverpool is top of both the Premier League and the Champions League tables and has progressed in the Carabao Cup. That one defeat against Nottingham Forest is the only black mark. While there have been changes implemented since Slot came in, the…

Liverpool are also the only team still able to boast a 100% record in the UEFA Champions League. There have been a number of standout performers in Slot’s tenure, but it is the team’s collective performance that has…
