What's that 14 wins out of 16 games so far?
Couldn't have asked for a better start really.
Slot - Paisley

err lets not get carried away with comparisons to Sir Bob
I'll agree with you once he's won four CL trophies...
Shankly will always be my number one. Just his charisma alone and then throw in the trophies. Paisley was completely different, which was great, even though he was more successful he's a very close number two on my list.
Out of interest, it's 42 years today since " .. Rush scored one, Rush scored two, Rush scored three and Rush scored four, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah..." (against Everton, 5-0 final result). Paisley was the manager, sitting in the dugout in his mac and cap and not a smile, gesture or reaction to be seen.
The days when men were men and neither exuberant celebrations nor rolling around, rubbing a fake injury existed.

Liverpool have always been my team, but only seriously followed them since near the end of the Houllier days.
I can't compare to Shanks or Paisley. I can only really compare him to Rafa or Klopp.
Even comparing to them it's a little early. This is obviously the best start and I think we chose well, but I can't put him above Rafa or Klopp until at least one season is complete.
I can however already say that he is indeed better than Woy and Brodger... Think it's also not too early to say that he's better than Dalglish's last run at the club.

We won the League Cup in Dalglish's second stint (first trophy in 6 years) and got to FA Cup final.
Let's see if Slot can beat that.

He's already matched Brod and bettered Woy
Loving Slotball so far …
We look far better on and off the ball now. Far more structured and more importantly, we are far more solid defensively.
I’ve said multiple times that Ljinders was the one running the tactics over the last 2 years and it showed because we looked so disjointed.
Now imagine how good we will look when we sign players who are suited to Slot

What was he doing in an American tank?my favourite was him sitting in the bedlam of the win in Rome having a cup of tea and pointing out "last time i was here it was in a Sherman"
The vast majority of medium tanks in the British army were shermans.
Matildas and such were light tanks really and not up to the later panzers.
The valentine was a little thing thst was a good proportion of the tanks but again very light
The Churchill was a lumbering heavy 40 tonne tank which wasn't up to a king tiger but was fat enough to meet the standards of it's name.
The sherman was literally great but there was a lot of them and certainly a medium tank with speed and a half decent gun. Totally outclassed by the panther and tigers but they were too few and also too heavy by rights.
Fair enough, I'm no military expert - but the only versions of his quote I've ever seen mention a "tank", not a particular breed.
Reasonable, given mito's assertion that there were a lot of Sherman tanks in the British Army (lend-lease, presumably).
I'm one of those damn pinko liberal pacifists so my military knowledge is limited - mostly to the war stories my dad regaled me with as a kid. And Captain Hurricane, which was definitely historically accurate
Yes this is my generation also.
Might be going a bit early with this but I am seeing the better elements of Houllier, Rafa and Klopp in Slot so far. The leverkusen match in particular felt like a Rafa CL first half and a Klopp CL 2nd half.
