'Slot looked like he was trying to solve a puzzle'

It was very interesting watching the Liverpool technical area on Saturday.

Just as Arne Slot has imposed a different style on this Liverpool team when compared to Jurgen Klopp's approach, so to does he cut a completely different kind of figure on the touchline.

There were very occasional flashes of frustration and even anger from Slot, but in general his demeanour is calm, his instructions to staff and players methodical and composed. Klopp would have been leaping around, gesturing and yelling watching his team fail to score despite 30-odd shots, but Slot looked like he was trying to solve a puzzle.

This isn't meant as praise or criticism of either manager. Merely an observation that Liverpool's steadier, more patient build-up appears to be a reflection of the personality of their (relatively) new boss.
