Verdict from Paul Gorst after Liverpool beat West Ham 5-1 in the Carabao Cup
Arne Slot does not immediately strike as a man who believes in omens. But if the Liverpool head coach places any stock in such notions, the record books might now make for an exciting read where potential silverware is concerned.
A ruthless streak is emerging and the most impressive thing about this absorbing victory was how the foot wasn’t taken off the gas. The Reds have registered 18 goals in seven games now under Slot and on this evidence you can expect that number to only swell considerably. For Slot it's an important competition too and while it undoubtedly still sits bottom of the three Liverpool will contest before the New Year, it is a chance to rest, rotate and get a closer look at those whose minutes have so far been marginalised and managed. The opportunity of silverware for a new head coach shouldn't be sniffed at either and this represents a real chance for Slot to add his name to an exalted list at Anfield inside his first few months.
The fact that Luis Diaz, Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szobosozlai could all rest up on the bench showcased the level of quality at Anfield when it is a squad largely free of injury troubles. Long may that continue. It was a typical Jota performance in many ways. The No.20 was not exactly involved in plenty of goalmouth action but the ice-cold finisher took both opportunities with aplomb. He is unerring.
