'A lot': The change Arne Slot has made in Liverpool meetings which Andy Robertson says players are enjoying
Today at 01:00 PM
Arne Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp as manager of Liverpool this summer, and it’s safe to say that the Dutch coach has been a massive success.
The former Feyenoord man has won 18 of his first 20 games in charge of the Reds with the Anfield side top of both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League standings, with Liverpool showing no sign of slowing down just yet.

With Gary Neville amazed with how adaptable Liverpool have become under Slot, the 46-year-old manager has been the perfect successor for Klopp on Merseyside, with the Reds looking likely to win multiple pieces of silverware this season.
And Andy Robertson has now shared what changes Slot has made in team meetings that players are enjoying.
Liverpool players enjoying tactical team meetings with Slot
Speaking to Stadium Astro, Robertson shared how team meetings now go into more detail with Slot and his coaches, with the Scottish international enjoying the change given the results on the field for Liverpool.
Robertson said: “You can see it's a bit more controlled with the ball and things like that. He has changed everyone's position and things like, that's what happens when a new manager comes in. We were used to a style of play for seven or eight years and it was relatively successful for us, that's for sure, with the trophies we won!
“New manager, new ideas, coaches that have come in and implemented that on the training pitch and the meetings. There has been a lot of information, a lot of tactical stuff, but I think the players have enjoyed it. The experienced lads and the young lads, I think we have all taken it on board, and we are trying to improve every day.
“I don't think we are where the manager wants us to be yet but we are getting there game by game and when you are winning games it's important to keep pushing on and picking up points in every game that you play.”
Liverpool players buying into the Slot project has been huge
Nobody expected Liverpool players to move on from Klopp as quickly as they did, but given Slot’s tactics and his footballing philosophy, the limited changes have allowed the Reds to hit the ground running this season.
And with the Liverpool players adapting to Slot already, there is a real chance that the Dutch coach could lead the Reds to silverware this season, with the Anfield side in an incredible position to win the Premier League and Champions League.
Indeed, Slot has been a dream appointment for Liverpool this season, and the former Feyenoord manager could build a dynasty on Merseyside that could eclipse what Klopp created in his nine years in England.
