Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah gave Arne Slot's Liverpool a 2-0 win over Brentford; Jamie Carragher: "That was almost like a Man City performance in that the game felt over when the second goal went in. There wasn't any jeopardy in the game"
Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool won't be as much of a "rollercoaster" under Arne Slot as they were under Jurgen Klopp but insists the more controlled approach might not be a bad thing.
The Reds followed up their 2-0 win over Ipswich on the opening weekend with victory by the same scoreline over Brentford in Slot's first Premier League home game in charge on Sunday.
Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah grabbed the goals to make it two wins from two and Sky Sports pundit Carragher likened their measured display, in contrast to their full-throttle approach under Klopp, to a Manchester City performance.
"I thought the atmosphere was strange considering it was the first home game of the season," Carragher said on Sky Sports.
"Is that something to do with the style of play being different in that it won't be as end-to-end?
"Last season was a rollercoaster ride for supporters; late goals, coming from behind. It felt like every game was like a cup final. Liverpool needed more games like this last season.
"That was almost like a Man City performance in that the game felt over when the second goal went in. There wasn't any jeopardy in the game.
"Arne Slot's Liverpool aren't going to be as exciting as Jurgen Klopp's - that's impossible. I'm interesting to see how that will affect the atmosphere as the months go on because it did feel strange today.
"But it still might prove to be as successful if not more successful than last season. If Liverpool win more games like this today, 2-0, comfortable, then it'll put them in a great position."
Carragher also praised the side's winning start to the campaign and insisted it is exactly what Slot needed as he follows on from the glittering Klopp era.
"Slot will be pleased, he said. "There is no doubt there would have been lots of questions asked had Liverpool not got off to a good start.
"Those questions of Jurgen Klopp and these group of players - who have won everything - league titles, European cups, domestic cup competitions.
"You want to put that narrative to bed as quickly as you possibly can, [and show] that these players are bedding in and listening and learning from this new manager and buying into his methods going forward.
"So it does help, having this good start that Arne Slot has had. But the first really big game of his tenure comes next week against Manchester United.
"You think of what that game did to Liverpool's title chances, there should be a lot of motivation from his players to put that right."
