Arne Slot has made an outstanding start at Liverpool since taking over from Jurgen Klopp .

The Dutchman was the only candidate to succeed the Liverpool boss in the summer .

Xabi Alonso chose to stay in Germany rather than return to Anfield .

Alonso did try to impart local knowledge to his players, constantly gesturing with his palms flat towards the floor calling for calm.

Slot says it is early to tell but it is looking good for Liverpool in the Premier League.

"The result is painful. The performance is more painful. We lacked some power and consistency," he says.

Slot says he is 'thankful to have that reception' for his return to Anfield .
