Arne Slot made a successful debut as Liverpool's manager at Anfield, with Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah scoring in a 2-0 victory against Brentford on Sunday. Liverpool now joins Manchester City, Arsenal, and Brighton as the only teams with perfect points after two games in the new Premier League season. More challenging tests await Slot in his challenging role of succeeding Jurgen Klopp, beginning with a match against Manchester United next weekend. However, the initial signs are encouraging for the Dutch manager, as his team has yet to concede a goal and has demonstrated a rich array of attacking options, led by Salah. Slot is anticipated to implement a more possession-oriented strategy compared to Klopp's nearly nine-year tenure. Nevertheless, Liverpool's first goal mirrored Klopp's style. After a Brentford corner, Salah passed to Diogo Jota, who perfectly timed his pass to Diaz, allowing him to sprint towards the goal and score in the top corner in the 13th minute. There were only brief glimpses of the football Slot aims to introduce in the first half. Brentford was again without Ivan Toney, who is expected to leave the club before the transfer deadline on Friday. Despite this, the Bees posed a threat and could have equalized ten minutes into the second half. Nathan Collins headed Mathias Jensen's inviting cross, but Alisson Becker made a brilliant save. This warning roused Liverpool from their lethargy early in the second half. Collins then made a goal-saving block to deny Jota from turning in Alexander-Arnold's low cross. Vitaly Janelt intervened to prevent Salah from completing a smooth team move. Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken then made a superb save to block Diaz's powerful shot. As often happens, Liverpool relied on Salah to deliver the decisive finish to secure the victory. Diaz provided the assist this time, and Salah timed his run perfectly to stay onside and chip the ball over Flekken. Slot was cheered by the 60,000-strong crowd chanting his name, as instructed by Klopp during his farewell in May. Last season, Liverpool appeared poised to give Klopp a triumphant send-off as they competed with City and Arsenal for the title, but they faltered in the final weeks. There has been considerable concern among Liverpool fans about the lack of a new signing in the final week of the transfer window to strengthen the squad. However, they seem best positioned to challenge City and Arsenal in a potential three-way title battle.
