Andy Robertson revealed what Arne Slot does for every Liverpool game.
Boxing Day saw the Reds come back from 1-0 down to claim a 3-1 win over Leicester City and extend their lead at the Premier League summit to seven points.
Liverpool have now won 22 of their 27 games under Slot, and are on course to win their first Premier League since 2020, and only their second title in over 30 years.

And after the Leicester victory, full-back Robertson claimed that Slot makes tactical tweaks to his side in every game.
“He tweaks our role in every single game. Tactically he is unbelievable!” said Robertson to Premier League Productions.
“The manager demands more. I don’t think we are quite perfect in his eyes. That’s what we want.
“You have to play different ways in different weeks. We’ve done that all season. We’ve adapted well. We have to keep doing it. You don’t win anything in December.”

Meanwhile, Slot played down optimism around Liverpool's Premier League title chances and insisted that Manchester City's woes proved how quickly a season can change.
Pep Guardiola's men have only won one of their last 12 games in all competitions following a 1-1 draw with Everton.
Slot said: "If you're in this game for a long time like these players are, or I am, then you know that, 20 games before the end, you don't look at it that way.
"There are so many challenges still ahead. It was only two months ago that we were one point behind City and look what has happened there in terms of injuries, then a bit of bad luck, and a suspension. This can happen to any team."

He added: "It's far too early to already be celebrating but it is of course nice for us to be the team we are. We know we are able to do this. But I don't think there was any easy win for us in all these games.
"It could have been an easy win against Tottenham but then we conceded two and it was 5-3. That tells you how difficult it is to win if all your players are available, let alone if somewhere during the season you pick up some injuries or suspensions.
"That's why we have to take it one game at a time. It's important to win, I felt like we should win, but then I also had the same feeling against Fulham and Nottingham Forest so you always have to do a lot in the Premier League.

"The table is something we are aware of but we also understand how many games are still to play."
