Arne Slot has made Liverpool star ‘unbelievable’ after ‘outstanding’ improvement
Liverpool boss Arne Slot has quickly turned one Red into something ‘unbelievable’, says Neil Mellor. The Dutchman is working some wonders.
Arne Slot inherited a fantastic squad of players – no one can question that. While certain players are still looking to fulfil their potential, the tools were there for the new head coach to develop true stars.
And he’s done just that. Ryan Gravenberch is one who has made remarkable improvements, changing his role almost entirely with wonderful results.

But another is Luis Diaz. Diaz started brilliantly at Liverpool back in 2022 but tailed off, developing a reputation for inconsistency and a lack of end product.
Seven games into this season, however, and both of those claims look ridiculous. Diaz is not just scoring goals to show off an end product, but he’s doing it with remarkable consistency.
A goal and assist against Brentford, two against Manchester United, another two against Bournemouth – five starts in all competitions, five goals and an assist.
Mellor sings Luis Diaz’s praises
“Unbelievable,” said Neil Mellor of Diaz, per Liverpoolfc.com. “If you’re wondering when did Luis Diaz get to five goals last season in the Premier League? February.
“So it just shows the improvement he’s made this season. Absolutely outstanding, it really is.”
Slot has immediately got Diaz delivering in ways he just couldn’t quite manage under Jurgen Klopp. It’s fantastic to see – but we should remember that the season is very young.
Diaz needs to keep this up for a few more months yet before he entirely ends the accusations of inconsistency. There’s no doubt that this is the best possible start, however, and he’s well on his way to becoming one of Liverpool’s most important players.
Of course, his biggest worry might be that Cody Gakpo, his rival for the left-wing role, is also having a breakout season…

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.
Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.
Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
