McAteer compared the current Liverpool side to the Klopp vintage, insisting that the Reds were a ‘different animal’ under the German.

Recalling that Liverpool went into matches with the prospects of a loss being remote during that period, McAteer admits that the current Reds side are not a finely tuned unit. “He got us to that point, we were a different animal, we were finely tuned, we were going into games where we weren’t even contemplating losing, we were challenging, Champions League challenging, cups everything.

“We have been in a really, really good place, we have transitioned and that will come, we will be at that point again.” Despite the loss and poor form in general since the title was won in March last year, Slot still has the chance to surpass Kenny Dalglish’s record of 62 wins in his first 100 games. McAteer expressed concern with Liverpool’s away form earlier this season, and Slot has overseen a rapid decline from the Klopp years.
