Slot’s debut recalls the legendary start of Jose Mourinho at Chelsea in 2004. If he secures both the domestic title and European glory, his first season will rank among the best in history. The pressure now drives every match at Anfield.

Liverpool have lost only four matches all season. Two defeats, against PSV and Tottenham, proved inconsequential. Their only significant loss with a full line-up came on September 14 against Nottingham Forest.

The team plays with relentless energy and precision. Liverpool control matches with a perfect balance of attack and defence. They display the same vigor against Newcastle as in any high-stakes clash, a testament to Slot’s tactical acumen.

Individual brilliance shines this season. Ryan Gravenberch has emerged as one of the best holding midfielders in the game. Cody Gakpo scored 16 goals before March, with key strikes against Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham. Slot’s smart adjustments allowed Luis Diaz to operate centrally, while Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai have regained their confidence.

Salah, at 32, has set new records for goals and assists. Despite his contract uncertainty, he continues to dazzle on the pitch. Slot ignored the media chatter and kept the squad focused. Discussions over contracts with Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold have not disrupted Liverpool’s winning run.

Looking ahead, Liverpool now face a crucial Champions League tie against PSG, a young and hungry side led by Ousmane Dembele. In another arena, Thomas Tuchel must include 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly in his first England squad to fix longstanding left-back issues. Fulham, under Marco Silva, also eye a strong FA Cup run against Manchester United. Liverpool’s relentless efficiency and tactical brilliance could secure historic success this season.
