I am sure that Liverpool will be fine, I cannot say if they are going to end up being in the title race again or not, but last season they were leading the league until a very last moment, then they lost points back to back after that Atalanta loss, I guess their morale just got destroyed after that, and they finished third because of the points lost on that period.

I don't expect things to be easy for the Liverpool this season.
Changing the manager always brings some disruption and uncertainty. New managers (especially the high-profile ones) do not tend to copy their predecessor's style and vision, but ar rather interested in imposing their own style.
Klopp was one of the best managers the Liverpool has ever had and will be hard to replace, but even with him, things were not always so rosy.
Arne Slot is not very experienced and has never coached outside of the Netherlands, and the Premier League is incomparably harder.
I'm sorry, but you can't generalize if all new managers always struggle in their first season with a new team. Though Klopp was struggling in his first season with LFC, I think it's gonna be different with Slot. If Slot can keep his club's current form, he could do well in his first season at LFC.
It was right. Slot was not experienced enough in the top competition. But, if you watched his post-match interviews from the US tour, you'd know he has high standards and no excuses.
