Eight matches in, and Liverpool unexpectedly top the Premier League with 21 points from a possible 24. So how has Arne Slot done it? @JamesLawrenceAllcott explains just how the Dutchman has consolidated the Reds as title challengers.

i prefer slot
It is too early. I would say that we are a solid third place this season unless Arsenal implodes, as many of their supporters suggest they will. I am excited about next season.
Brilliant
Subtitle, please
Can i just say thank you premier league for giving James Allcot on board for these videos, honestly been a massive fan of his, best analysis on youtube and everyone should check out his podcast – the ripple effect. I hope there's more to come for James working with the premier league.
But his style of play is not exciting.
Pep Guardiola taking notes rn
Of course we would swap slot for klopp back what a stupid question
Liverpool fan here but its too early to judge us to be a title contenders , ynwa ❤
Hey it’s James Alcott
I wouldn’t swap them
I would keep slot because klopp ball was no longer sustainable and left the defense very exposed
I love Klopp's charisma and bond with his players. But footballing wise, he's only got 1 plan, and 1 plan only: which was the gegenpress. It was hard to see him coming up with a plan B when things go south. For Slot, it's still too early to tell.
Playing Gravenberch as a number 6 is a virtuoso move… its the master stroke
Its all about the defense.
VVD, Konate, 2 of the worlds best GK
I was worried about Klopp leaving, But Arne Slot’s statistics are mind blowing… he’s a tactical genius… there’s a real togetherness about them, they seem so much more composed, methodical, and intelligent in their decision making in the final third, and our defence has been incredible… Konate, Gravenberch and Konate really understand each other and they all support each other… I’ve been noticing more mutual support at the back. Kelleher has been absolutely outstanding
I'm looking forward to Sunday's match away at Arsenal. Tactics galore.
Klopp is a legend and one of the best managers in the world. I think the change to Slot has been amazing and think tactically the change is write for Liverpool and maybe was time to change playing style so don’t think I would change Slot for Klopp at this stage. We can’t forget that Klopp setup a team to move forward full of class and quality and maybe would have adapted his playing style but he left it in such a good shape that Slot is able to be on this position and mould the team for a new era and direction.
Definitely wouldn’t swap as a Liverpool fan, Klopp was burnt out and wanted a break, this is Slot’s time to shine
mcallister is class player. His passing range and reading of game was very very important for the world cup
In all Honestly Rn I would prefer slot To Klopp because now I have a lower Chance of getting a Heart Attack because I am Worried We are Going to get countered and Concede,I prefer these Calmer and cooler Tactics
So they've gone from title contenders for the past few seasons to title contenders this season. That's some serious transformation.
Fx You PL, dont try to polish the shoe here when you have been corrupted by ManShitty!
as much as I die for Kloop,,,at the moment I'm good with Slot as my Liverpool manager ,,,YNWA ❤
What are you talking about, title contenders, it’s October of his first season. Give us a break. I understand if some lousy fan channels do such videos. Not PL official channel.
I’m a Liverpool fan.
how dare you make us choose
Gravenberch. What a player 🔥 he is engine for Liverpool this season. Szobo underrated because he do dirty job for Liverpool. Love him when off the ball.
It’s been 7 games … title challengers after 7 games is mad
Not even Pep thinks City are title challengers yet and he’s won it 5 times in 6 years
Too early to say. One game at a time
As a Liverpool fan i’d wait probably till Christmas to talk about us being a potential title contenders. We were on top of the table in January last season and still came 3rd so we never know but we are gonna have a Citypool title race again for sure Arsenal are gonna finish below Chelsea this season (not an unpopular opinion but a prediction)
Would be good with heat maps etc to show the direction the team is playing. Wouldn’t know which way the team was playing without James saying so
Slot better than pep
Why are you exposing his tactics?
Slot have improved Gravenberch by turning into one of the best DM in the league, Lucho now a scoring machine, Trent in his defending, and Nunez in his composure. All without any major new signings. Proper coach
I personally think this is over analysing it… if top footballers are up for it on the day and there's a good vibe in the dressing room, and the crowd are behind them, I think they'll give a good game. I think if they play well, it's more to do with them on the pitch than the manager. Just my opinion.
With all due respect to Arne Slot, we were title contenders last year, and most years before under Klopp. We shit the bed on a treble (not THE treble, calm down) last year in the dying weeks of the competitions. Hopefully, the team can lock in and make it happen with more consistency under Slot.
What I like about Slot is that we are not running around so much. I hated that we are sprinting everywhere because the injuries would just start and not stop.
I like that we are positionally disciplined and finish our dinner. I love that.
Great breakdown! I do have a slightly different view of the Chelsea game though. Out of possession, especially when liverpool had the ball in their own half. Chelsea employed a really good man marking system. While under Klopp, a lot of our ball progression came from the wide areas, under Slot we progress the ball more through the center. However, in this game Lavia and Caicedo were very good at man marking Gravenberch and Curtis this kind of forced us into playing far too many wayward long balls. While playing long is a good idea when playing against a high press, it doesn't work out that well when we don't have players aiming to win the second ball which was the case against Chelsea and why we struggled to keep a hold of the ball. I do think we struggle to progress the ball a bit against teams that can press high really well like Arsenal and Man City. Hopefully Slot figures something out for this Sunday, when Arsenal without a doubt will play with a vert aggressive press.
yeah sure title contenders, klopp couldn't even dream about it
Congrats to JLA for getting your video posted on the Premier League youtube account! Great work, love your videos, love this little collaboration. Love it!
Bro's exposing my club's tactics 💀
8 games v 9 years is unfair. Let Slot have some time
Klopp back over Slot? No. Klopp IS a God in Liverpool but it was the right time for him to move on. Slot looks like could be our manager for another 5/6 years. I'm 100% behind him.
