Slot's side appear to have lift-off after poor start

- 

THIS was definitely worth the wait for Liverpool.

And now Arne Slot will hope his new-look team have finally achieved lift-off this season.

Having been delayed by four hours before jetting out to Germany for this Champions League clash, Slot's side delivered their best performance of a fitful campaign with a thumping victory at Eintracht Frankfurt.

It ensured they avoided the ignominy of becoming the first Reds side since 1953 to lose five consecutive matches following a miserable month.

More importantly for Slot, though, was this was a victory in which several of his big-money summer signings proved influential.
