Start winning the physical battle Slot preached that one of his non-negotiables last season was his side winning duels, but they have not been on the winning side of the count in six of the last 10 games – it’s no coincidence we’ve lost seven… 2. In eight of the last 10 games, Liverpool have conceded first, turning only the setback at Frankfurt into a win.

Give new signings the time to adapt We have started to see Slot turn to Andy Robertson over the last week in place of Milos Kerkez, who needs time to settle and adapt – much like the Scot did when he first arrived. Hand more minutes to Federico Chiesa It’s evident Slot does not trust the Italian, despite his important contributions, but it is about time he put more faith in the Italian, as one of few who have shown a desire to perform.

Find a way to keep Alexander Isak on the pitch In his first test of attrition after a disrupted summer, Isak’s body broke down and now Liverpool’s job is to get him into a position where he can have a consistent influence on the team. Have a clear plan Confusion has reigned supreme for much of Liverpool’s period of malaise, and Slot has balanced things out of late, but there still needs to be a clear plan for where this team goes next.
