Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott has called new manager Arne Slot’s style of play “really enjoyable” but said his Reds squad have had to “kind of forget” the ideas introduced by predecessor Jurgen Klopp during his final two seasons in charge.
Slot officially took over on June 1, succeeding Klopp after the German chose to end a tenure which began in October 2015.
“It’s a lot different for obvious reasons – new management in, new staff, new style of play,” Elliott told LiverpoolFC.com.

“We’re all trying to get our heads around it. But we’ve had a few weeks now, played a [training] game back in Liverpool and I feel like the lads are coping really, really well.
“Especially with the style of play, it’s really enjoyable to play in and it’s a new skill to learn. It’s a great opportunity to learn things and learn different things. To do it out here, it’s great.”
Liverpool ‘will be fine’ under Slot
Klopp is known as a pioneer of gegenpressing – winning possession as high up the pitch as possible in an intense, counter-attacking style that has also been dubbed heavy metal football.
Slot’s style from his successful spell at Eredivisie side Feyenoord is not entirely dissimilar, but Liverpool’s players have acknowledged the changes required.
“It’s one of them where you need to kind of forget what you’ve learned in the last couple of years and learn new things,” said Elliott.
“That’s football. You’re always learning, you’re always having to adapt and be a better player, a better person.
“We just need to keep on going and keep listening to the staff and the boss, and make sure we apply it in games and training sessions. I’m sure we’ll be fine.”
