'We are doomed' - how everyone got it wrong on Slot

Amid the ongoing celebrations of a 20th league title, it is easy to forget that nobody was tipping Liverpool to be Premier League champions this season.

In fact, not one of 30 BBC pundits asked thought they would or could win it.

Jurgen Klopp's departure last summer came as shock to almost everyone and many predicted a Klopp shaped hole to be exposed in the Reds this campaign.

That wasn't people overreacting either because Klopp won it all during his nine years at Liverpool, and as history has proven when Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger left Manchester United and Arsenal respectively, it is hard to just move on.

But move on they have.

Slot has made the so-called transition period look easy and with four games to spare, he has proved everyone wrong.

"The club is in good hands," said Klopp on Slot's appointment last April. "People might worry about the future but I'm not."

The phrase 'I told you so' springs to mind.
