Arne Slot has seamlessly slipped into Jurgen Klopp's throne at Liverpool, and he is making what should be a heavy crown seem rather light.
After beating Premier League champions Man City 2-0, Slot's men sit top of the Premier League and top of the Champions League table, winning every single game in Europe, while only losing and drawing one in the league.
Liverpool fans couldn't have dreamt of a better start under the new manager, and his unassuming nature means that it all looks much more effortless than it probably is.
However, the Dutchman did show a little more of his personality this morning while speaking at a press conference, as he dropped a killer line at City's expense.
Mo Salah is in his last year of his contract at the club and said after Sunday's win that it could be his last time playing against City.
When asked about those comments, Slot couldn't resist having a jibe at Pep Guardiola's side.

“Maybe Mo knows more about the 115 [charges] so he doesn’t expect them to be in the Premier League next season.”
“I do expect them to be in the Premier League. That was a joke! I do repeat, that was a joke.
“The boring answer is always the same. This is not the place to talk about Mo’s contract and maybe I’ve said too much with the joke I’ve just made.”
All joking aside, Liverpool's tough fixture run doesn't get any easier as they prepare to face Newcastle tomorrow night, and then play Everton in the Merseyside derby in the early kick off this Saturday.
“I’ve said many times, we don’t look at the [table] like this. We know we have a difficult week coming up again. We thought Madrid and City were very difficult teams to face, and they were.
“I think it’s even harder to go away to Newcastle. We’re not even halfway through the season yet, but we’re in a good position in the league.”
The Reds currently sit nine points clear at the top of the league with Arsenal in second place, and 11 points clear of the reigning champions.
There is certainly a long way to go, but there is no question that the Anfield faithful are in pole position.
