Liverpool are playing very well under the reign of coach Arne Slot. The Port City team won 4 out of the first 5 rounds of the Premier League and are in the top 3 teams. The Kop is only 1 point behind the leading team, Man City.

Liverpool’s played well, while the defense also maintained the necessary solidity. The Kop kept 4 clean sheets in the first 6 matches of the season in all competitions. The solid defense system has become an important support for Liverpool to rise.

Virgil van Dijk, as usual, showed his solidity, while Ibrahima Konate also combined very well with the Dutch player. The French player also scored against AC Milan, 1 assist against Bournemouth.

Former players Gary Lineker and Micah Richards have praised Ibrahima Konate after his impressive form. Lineker said: “Konate has probably been Liverpool’s best player this season, he’s quick, strong, big, good in the air. He’s a very intelligent defender.

If he continues to play like this, it’s going to be very difficult to Liverpool’s defence. They have two fantastic centre-backs.”

Richards added: “Defenders always have flaws. Konate has a fighting spirit, sometimes he plays a bit risky. In terms of position, Konate is similar to me.”
