A 1-0 loss to Galatasaray followed a 2-1 setback at Crystal Palace. There was the sense that, by winning with flawed performances, Liverpool could look exceptional when everything clicked and everyone gelled. On the other flank, it is hard to escape the sense that Slot does not fully trust Frimpong at right-back. In Slot’s case, it is a bid to rotate more, and better, than last season, but without compromising results. But Slot’s Liverpool made it look easy last season in both the Premier League and the Champions League’s first stage.
