Callaghan: Coaching Liverpool is difficult but Slott has done a good job and can still compete for the title this season

Liverpool's unsatisfactory results in October caused coach Slott to receive a lot of criticism. However, Liverpool legend Ian Callaghan still supported Slott in an interview.

Even Shankly, the most famous manager in Liverpool's history, did not win any trophies from 1966 to 1973.

This is indeed the case. And Slott took over the team left by Klopp and immediately won the Premier League title. It’s a tough job to be the manager of Liverpool and I think Slott has done a really good job and I’m sure he’ll do a good job.

Is coaching a Premier League team more difficult now than in the past?

Current Premier League coaches have a tough job ahead of them. When Shankly and Paisley were in charge, their squads were dominated by British players. Now the roster is made up of players from all over the world, different lifestyles and everything. There is no doubt that the head coach's job is more difficult now.

Slott took over from Klopp, just like Paisley took over from Shankly. But Paisley has an advantage, that is, he once worked in Shankly's coaching staff

Paisley was Shankly's assistant, but he had a different personality. At that time, people compared the two, just like Slott and Klopp are compared now. Paisley has always kept a low profile, but what he has done for Liverpool Football Club is incredible. Klopp is a charismatic guy and Slott is completely different.

Liverpool spent a lot of money on signings this summer, but the results are not satisfactory.

Liverpool has introduced many new players this summer, and it will take some time for them to adapt. What people often don’t realize is that a lot of the problems exist outside of football. For example, your family needs to move and your children have to attend different schools, not to mention moving to another country and having to learn a new culture, which is not easy. Of course, there are pressures in football itself, but there are also pressures from the outside, like where you will live and so on. Players may need some time to adjust. It's always difficult to move to another club, you go from one club that works this way to another that works that way and it takes some getting used to.

However, Liverpool has defeated Villa and Real Madrid in the last two games, and this weekend's Premier League Liverpool will face rival Manchester City.

Liverpool performed well against Real Madrid, and the score should not have been just 1-0. Sooner or later they will get back to form, it's just a matter of time because they have a lot of good players. Szoboszlai has performed well this season. He is very versatile and has a strong shooting ability. It was great to beat Real Madrid before the game against Manchester City. Manchester City also experienced a period of slump, but they have returned to good form. It's going to be a great game on Sunday.

Do you think Liverpool can still win the Premier League title?

In fact, the gap is not big at the moment, and the season is still very long. If the new players can adapt stably, Liverpool still has a chance to win the championship.
