“Where to go, where not to go, when to stay wide, when to drop into the back line, when to go into midfield, when to be kind of like a No. 8 or when Mo rolls inside and I’m a high winger.
“There’s all different variations. He gives us that information throughout the week, throughout the game, leading up to the game.
“He paints scenarios so that we have answers for everything. So it’s kind of like, ‘OK, if they press this way then this is where we’re going to be positioned, and if they press a different way then we’ll position ourselves this way.
“There’s a solution to every problem that they pose at us.”
Despite their defeat in the hands of Nottingham Forest over the weekend during the English Premier League, Slot managed to win four out of five games this season.
Alexander-Arnold went on to emphasize why he improved his playing performance under the new head coach.

“And having spoken to the manager I was excited for the plans and the way they talked about it.
“So to get back as soon as possible and to be as fit as possible for the opening game of the season was my aim, and hit the ground running and be one of the best players in the league.
“That was my aim going into it, definitely hit the ground running and build a great foundation for the rest of the season.”
