The turmoil that accompanies transition, Slot believes, was delayed by last season’s Premier League title.“This is one of the things we are aligned on – not now, but one and a half years ago,” said Slot on having to manage the break-up of a great Liverpool team. I’m really happy that Mo and Robbo have worked with all of the signings we did last summer because they have been able to see what the club means to them and how hard they work.

The great thing is that we maybe postponed that cycle with last season.”Slot insists he still feels the support of Hughes, Michael Edwards, the chief executive of football at FSG, the ownership and, “weird as it might sound” after a chastening run of defeats, Liverpool fans.He said: “It’s not about every day they are saying: ‘We support you, we support you.’ It is talking through what we see is happening and, sometimes, it is not always needed to say: ‘I am supporting you,’ but you can feel that support. I’ve felt that support since I’ve been here.“I cannot tell you what we are saying to each other but I think, and I don’t know what people are writing, but I think we all see the same.

Everyone sees what is happening in front of our eyes and we are all aligned in what we are seeing. We are definitely aligned in what we are seeing and on the reasons for it.”
