Arne Slot has six of six career problems in Liverpool after guiding his team to a home win over Brentford.
Jamie Carragher says Slot is different from Jurgen Klopp, and the Dutchman replaced the German as Liverpool manager earlier this summer.
Slot needs blank sheets in Liverpool, and his wish has come true, as the Reds won any of their league games 2-0 this season.
It’s the best start for the former Feyenoord manager, as both aspects of his team are healthy at the start of the season.
Alisson and Virgil van Dijk responded when they faced the Bees at Anfield, as did goalscorers Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah.
But everything is rosy with Slot according to Carragher, who frozen a challenge for Darwin Núñez against Brentford.
Nunez replaced Diogo Jota in the 72nd minute in his first appearance of the season, arriving in the 85th minute.

But the Uruguayan, who still sent his header wide, flagged offside, much to Carragher’s frustration.
“It’s a long way from play, Nunez,” Carragher said on Sky Sports Premier League (18:14, 25 August). “It is a great challenge that he has to solve. Hopefully Slot and his training can do it.
Nunez’s fellow forwards have had no such disruptions in their time on the pitch, with Jota, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah all truly impressive.
Jota assisted Diaz in the first game, and the latter was the provider of Salah’s second goal of the season.

The trio enjoyed a well-deserved break through Slot, who Carragher believes has a challenge to solve in Liverpool.
Discussing the zonal marking factor after a Brentford corner at the start of the second half, Carragher said on Sky Sports Premier League (5:43 p. m. , August 25): “Brentford avoid Liverpool’s headers, that one can be the challenge with zone marking.
It is an issue that Slot wants to address in the educational field, while Núñez will indeed need him to do it on an individual level.
Offsides were the striker’s main challenge last season, with Núñez’s 33 in the 2023/24 league campaign putting him top of the table, five ahead of Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson, according to the Chelsea website. the First Division.
