ARNE SLOT is a big hit with Liverpool supporters after replacing Jurgen Klopp's 'heavy-metal' football with his own version of The Beatles.

Slot's Fab Four of Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Ryan Gravenberch and Alisson delivered in the key moments to help Liverpool thump their fiercest rivals Manchester United 3-0.

Possession is all you need in Slot's eyes and his new Liverpool are proving to be a toned-down, more-controlled version of Klopp's Reds.

Liverpool's defending let them down last season and they only managed five clean sheets in their final 26 games as their quadruple bid unravelled. Slot has three shut-outs from his first three wins and Liverpool's game management is better under the Dutchman.

Liverpool twice let victory slip at Old Trafford last season as they failed to finish United off and let them back into both games.

Compare that with Sunday and the Reds were ruthless against United while Alisson (bottom circle) stood tall to repulse their few attacks.
