Redmen TV’s Ste Plunkett joined BBC Radio Merseyside’s Total Sport to talk about Liverpool’s fast start to the season under new boss Arne Slot.

“We have confidence in (Arne) Slot. We have kept nine clean sheets in this run. We are winning games and getting into positions to win games from a solid base. I’m a big fan of his approach,” Plunkett said.

Slot’s team went into the international break five points clear in the Premier League, having won nine, drawn one and lost one of their first 11 games of the season.

Plunkett added: “What we have now is control. That often means it takes us half an hour, sometimes half an hour, to figure out what we need to do. The best example of that was the Leverkusen game.”

Liverpool struggled to beat Bayer Leverkusen in the first half of last Wednesday’s Champions League match but then scored four goals in the second half to earn a comfortable victory at Anfield.

This result showed that they are at the top of the Champions League league table with two points difference, as the only team to win all four matches so far.

Plunkett added: “We have to be 100% behind this guy because he sees the challenges ahead and finds ways to deal with them.”
