Joe Cole claims Arne Slot has accomplished a ‘unique’ feat at Liverpool this season, leaving him baffled as to how he’s managed it.

Liverpool have endured a dream start to life under Arne Slot after the Dutchman replaced Jurgen Klopp at the helm.

The Reds have lost just two games under their new manager and lead the way in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, while they are also alive in the domestic cups.

Slot has endeared himself to the Anfield faithful with his calm persona, while his players have done the talking on the pitch as they aim to win silverware.

And Joe Cole feels the Dutchman has done something unique that no other team in Europe can match this season.

Joe Cole hails Liverpool’s squad depth under Arne Slot

Since the start of the season, Slot has refrained from rotating his squad too much in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

However, in the domestic cups, players on the fringes of the squad have been handed opportunities to impress, while a handful of youngsters like Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha have also been given minutes.

In recent weeks, Slot has made a handful of in-game changes that have positively affected the outcomes of games, with Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott scoring important goals for the club against Brentford and Lille.

Cole feels Liverpool’s strength in depth has really come to the forefront recently, suggesting that the Reds are the best in the world in his regard.

“What I find unique with Liverpool is the amount of quality and depth in their squad,” said Cole on TNT Sports.

“I don’t know how they’ve done it. The emergence of Jones, Elliott making an impact and players like Nunez impacting Premier League games.

“In the whole of Europe, they are the most equipped. Fighting on all fronts, have we started talking about the full package yet [referring to a potential quadruple]?”

Liverpool’s subs show their class
Frank Leboeuf hailed Liverpool’s squad depth as the Reds saw off games against Brentford and Lille with notable contributions from their substitutes.

While Nunez and Elliott scored important goals, Federico Chiesa came on as a sub and impressed in his last two games, while Wataru Endo helped see off the game against Lille.

The Liverpool players seem to be relishing the prospect of working with Slot and it’s nice to see contributions across the board as opposed to just a few big hitters producing consistently.

And long may it continue as they aim to compete on all fronts.
