Liverpool's substitutes were a potent weapon under Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot will hope his squad can replicate that success this term
In groups of three and four, the Liverpool substitutes emerged from the dugout and onto to the touchline. First came Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo and Curtis Jones. Then Wataru Endo, Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez and Jarell Quansah - all of them applauded by the Kop as they completed their warm-ups during the Reds’ Champions League clash with Bologna .
Rarely were players visibly unhappy when they were reduced to more of a supporting role and the German had an uncanny knack for instilling belief in all of his charges so that they felt compelled to deliver when called upon. Without that belief, it is unlikely games such as Liverpool's 4-0 win over Barcelona or their Carabao Cup triumph against Chelsea would have been able to happen. It will take time before Slot's own man-management skills can truly be assessed.
