Liverpool kicked off their pre-season tour of the United States by beating Real Betis 1-0.
Dominik Szoboszlai's first-half goal ensured the Reds got the Arne Slot era off to the perfect start in winning a mostly scrappy game in Pittsburgh.
But there was plenty to like about the performance, according to Reds reporter David Lynch.
Check out this match review to see what we learned about Slot's preferred formation and how his tactics differ from Jurgen Klopp's.
There was even a hint that Liverpool could be ready to dip into the market to solve their long-standing issue in holding midfield.
And youngster Trey Nyoni also comes in for high praise after an impressive cameo in midfield.
Check out this match review and let us know your thoughts on how the Reds are shaping up under Slot in the comments.

What did you think of Liverpool's performance against Real Betis?

i think quansah , bradley and nyoni stood out . i really like that formation 2-4-4 build up from the back with the 2 number 10s being the outball by finding space in the half space , out of posession the two number 10s elliot and szoboslai (both looked good in this system) leading the pressing with the two wingers staying wide and everyone else going man for man in a kind of 4-2-4 high press looked really good and that turned into a 4-5-1 when they had comfortable posession with salah 1 on 1 out wide right
-
I’ve been excited about Nyoni ever since I watched some his clips from the academy last season this kid can do it all
-
Seen some nice patterns today. Very promising
-
Nyoni was incredible wow! hope we keep giving these kids chances to shine
-
Superb analyzes. I am really exited about this Arne Slot project. He comes across as very clear and strong in the interviews.
-
Interesting hearing Slot saying that he considers Elliot + Szobolai to be No.10s. As for Trey Nyoni - he must have been watching some Xabi Alonso pass master videos!!
-
I only saw 2nd half , and being a preseason game i don't expect a lot and to me its more of how are the young players developing , and that is what looks very positive. Nyoni the biggest one his vision and passing was very high standard. What was also a positive was when the younger players did come on Real Betis didnt take control of the game we still made the play and controlled the possession . Sepp VDB looked very good at the back , hope he now stays .
-
This is proper reporting. Spot on mate.
-
Surprised not more made of Sepp's performance. Thought he looked solid and confident on the ball. Definitely worth him sticking around imo.
-
Surprised by Blair's game with his back to the goal, people won't talk much about it but it's an extremly difficult role and he was surprisingly really good in it. Kept some good ball under pressure and managed to find players wide quite a few times. Fabinho was never that good technically, that was also his weakness and why he didn't start much for Brazil, he was okay but as soon as he played in smaller spaces, he mostly struggled.

2.30am? Respect!! 🙂
-
I like that you can see the manager has got his ideas across already.
-
Keep up the great content mate , good signs from the play 👍👍
-
Good clear presentation. Pleasant to listen to. Pleased with the win btw.
-
Dom is a star❤
-
Some of the football was a bit risky but Nyoni shined.🎉 I see playing out from the back being his style but I hope Arne Slot implements it well and make changes where applicable.
-
Great stuff David. Loving the detail. Loving your recent Endo update .. we might see a 6 after all?
-
Great summary as always. I like the new format of a overall summary of the game, focus on the tactics, highlights and the players that caught the eye, rather than going thru all the players. Cheers, Milk 🥛
