He has faced criticism lately for his end product, but the archetypal Feyenoord goal involves a pull-back from the wide areas for someone arriving in the middle, so the winger’s one-versus-one ability could prove very useful in a system which masks any potential finishing weaknesses.

Whether Darwin Núñez can be trusted as the poacher on the end of those chances remains to be seen.

But if Slot does get the chance to work with him, he will be in possession of one of the game’s greatest ever creative wingers.

The really interesting one, though, might just be Cody Gakpo.

Interestingly, Gakpo completed his hat-trick of assists with another corner, something he’s not really done much of at Liverpool.

The previous season, Gakpo had scored both goals in a 2-2 draw with Slot’s Feyenoord.

So it’s fair to say he is acquainted with the talent of the man he will soon be coaching.

This alone clearly isn’t enough to declare that Gakpo will thrive under Slot.

But the manager has seen first-hand how effective a player his compatriot can be when utilized effectively, and his love of wingers should play into the 24-year-old’s hands.

We’ve been seeing a more confident version of Gakpo lately, with some nice flicks and touches against West Ham, as well as the heavily-deflected shot that put Liverpool in front.

It’s becoming easier to see the player who departed PSV in January 2023 with nine goals and 12 assists in just 14 league matches.

In order to truly unleash that version of Gakpo, Slot will need to find himself a clinical finisher.
