Former Liverpool star Jamie Carragher has praised Arne Slot for the huge difference he has made to the team defensively since coming in as manager.

Slot impressed at previous club Feyenoord, but few could have predicted the huge impact he has had so far this season on Liverpool’s first campaign back from the Jurgen Klopp era.

Klopp is a Liverpool legend after doing an excellent job during his nine years in charge, during which he won the Premier League title, the Champions League, the FA Cup and two Carabao Cups.

On top of that, the German tactician got LFC to play a distinctive brand of football that made him a real success on the Kop, so it was never going to be easy being the manager who came after him.

However, Slot has done a great job so farand Carragher believes one of the key reasons for that is that he has improved the team defensively.

Liverpool fans will be excited about this new era under Slot, with the Dutch tactician clearly proving a very shrewd appointment by the club.

The Reds will have seen some of their rivals struggle with managerial appointments, particularly Manchester United, who have had one bad manager after another since the retirement of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.

Liverpool had one of their biggest tests of the season today but they came through it, with a point certainly a good result considering they’ve gone behind twice against an Arsenal side who don’t usually lose points at home

Liverpool lost 3-1 at the Emirates last season, and 3-2 the year before, so this is an improvement as Slot continues to improve this team and make them very difficult to beat.
