Anfield was buzzing on Friday night as supporters welcomed Slot and his team back for Premier League duties, though the victory came with several worrying moments.

The decision to bring on Federico Chiesa for Florian Wirtz with eight minutes left paid dividends for Slot, as the attacker netted his maiden Premier League goal just six minutes after.

Mohamed Salah wrapped up proceedings for his team during added time to claim all three points.

Particularly in behind both full-backs, whether that was [Milos] Kerkez or [Jeremie] Frimpong, or whether it was [Andy] Robertson when he brought him on or [Wataru] Endo I think he brought on at right-back."

He added: "They haven't got a full set of their midfielders yet, and this changes slightly because they've got Salah, they've got Ekitike, they've got Cody Gakpo.

Dominik Szoboszlai filled in for him alongside Alexis Mac Allister in the match against Bournemouth, and while the Hungarian performed well, he didn't quite fill the defensive void left by Gravenberch.

Slot has a week to adjust his tactics before Liverpool's next Premier League match, and will be keen to correct his team's mistakes before they head to St James' Park to face Newcastle United on Monday, 25 August

If Liverpool fails to secure Isak before their match against Newcastle, they'll still be well prepared for the challenge thanks to $106M striker Ekitike, who has made a strong impression in his short time at Anfield so far, scoring in the Community Shield match against Crystal Palace as well as the Premier League opener against Bournemouth.
