The ECHO assesses what Arne Slot's international break in-tray may look like after three successive defeats for the first time at AnfieldA chastening week of three successive defeats has left Arne Slot heading into the international break in his worst run as Liverpool boss.Successive 2-1 reverses at Crystal Palace and Chelsea came either side of a 1-0 defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday to leave Slot now officially stuck in his worst patch of results since he took over from Jurgen Klopp at the start of last season.The Premier League champions head into the break in second, a point behind new leaders Arsenal and host historic rivals Manchester United in their next assignment on October 19. However, questions were asked of the 31-year-old, who allowed Estevao Willian to sneak in to score a stoppage-time winner.On the right side, Bradley has started more Premier League games than Frimpong, who suffered a hamstring injury against Bournemouth in August, but the Northern Irishman himself is yet to get up to full speed due to a truncated pre-season, according to Slot.Settling on a pairing and allowing them to get some consistency and rhythm will help out the rest of the backline.Establish a plan for WirtzWhile Florian Wirtz's general performances have not been as disappointing as some would have you believe, there is no question the gifted Germany international is still awaiting his 'lift-off moment' at Anfield.Had some of his team-mates had their shooting boots on, Wirtz would already have a handful of assists to his name but while he has shown flashes of his talent so far, he is undoubtedly still getting to grips with the increase in intensity in Premier League football.A start off the left at Crystal Palace recently was inconclusive, with the attacking midfielder encouraged to take up central areas, which allowed the hosts to be more compact, making it easier to defend their lead at Selhurst Park."The high transfer fee, of course, isn't his fault," says 2005 Champions League winner Vladimir Smicer.

Football games are war, and he must show he's a warrior.“He needs to demonstrate that he can play, even in the Premier League. Like an old British game from the '80s or '90s, it was really tough."He seemed surprised that everyone was kicking him and giving him a hard time, but this is the Premier League, and I think he will adapt.

It will take some time, and he's taking his time, but the pressure is constant."This is the Premier League, you signed for Liverpool, a Premier League winner, for a lot of money. I was hoping for a different result but we’ll keep working."Two Premier League starts so far indicate he is still adapting and a good couple of outings for Sweden, against Switzerland and Kosovo, will go a long way towards helping Liverpool, ultimately.Liverpool's fitness staff were in regular contact with Sweden's Ben Rosen during the September break and it's expected that a similar level of dialogue will once more be held in an effort to make sure the most expensive signing in British football history can return as close to his sharpest as possible, particularly with Manchester United pitching up later this month.Work out Salah conundrumChiefly among Slot's problems is how to get Mohamed Salah back to the form he showed last season, when he scored 34 times in all competitions and turned in one of his best-ever campaigns as a Liverpool player.Salah has only ever finished out the top two for 'expected goals' in the Premier League during his time with the Reds, which came in the 23/24 term when he was sixth.
