Recently, "The Telegraph" talked about the problems Slott is currently facing. They said that although Liverpool has a stronger lineup in the new season, how to build a better team is still a challenge.

Liverpool's big victory against Frankfurt showed that the team is gradually finding the best combination. Still, coach Slaughter needs more evidence to determine the ideal starting lineup.

Aside from the victory and celebration in Germany, Slott still has a lot to think about for the weekend's match against Brentford. To bench Salah for two games in a row shows that no one is irreplaceable. Liverpool's problem is not only Salah's poor form, but also other reasons. Unless Salah returns to his previous form, he won't be back in the starting lineup immediately.

This season, Slaughter's team looks like a talented group of individuals, showing signs of the heights they can reach in the future. His job is to forge these players into a cohesive unit, regardless of their fame, salary or worth.

Looking back at history, Liverpool's situation in the 2005/06 season is similar to now. At that time, Benitez greatly improved the team's strength by introducing players such as Reina, Crouch and Sissoko. Despite some early problems, Liverpool ended up with an 11-1 record in the league and won the FA Cup.

Sloter faces the same problem of deciding which players fit at which positions and which players he is willing to sacrifice for the overall good. Wednesday's win and performance must convince the coach and Wirtz that he can play a big role in a wider position. Ekitic and Gakpo also performed well and can play multiple positions.

Facing their next opponent, Brentford, will test whether Liverpool's defense is equally strong. However, the Champions League victory has proved the team's strength and potential. The biggest issue for Slaughter in the coming days will be deciding who should be left out, rather than reconsidering the bench.
