Tyler Morton has expressed his enthusiasm for Arne Slot's style of play at Liverpool
Morton believes he is now ready to challenge for a first-team place.
Morton has produced two impressive cameos from the bench during the ongoing US tour in which the Reds have earned victories over Real Betis and Arsenal.
The 21-year-old, who spent the last two seasons on loan in the Championship with Blackburn Rovers and then Hull City, is hoping to force his way into the Liverpool senior squad for the new campaign.
And the midfielder believes the tactical approach from Slot is not far removed from the style that was made famous by the Holland national team during the 1970s

“He loves Total Football,"
“He’s come in and it’s a style a lot of players love. If you don’t love the style he plays, you shouldn’t be a footballer really”
“It’s Total Football and it’s every midfielder’s dream. You could see it (against Arsenal) in the triangles that were played; he’s big on triangles.
“I thought it was brilliant, I thought we dominated and against a very good Arsenal side. It was a great display.
“The style the gaffer is implementing is working. You can see it’s starting to click already and that’s a big compliment to the management team.
“I think it’s going to improve quickly and I think it was a very good step in a good direction.”
Morton added:
"I love learning new styles. I loved going out on loan and learning different styles from different managers and picking up little things that I can take into my career.
“I’m definitely picking up things here. It’s a very tough pre-season, very intense, you’ve got to work hard for everything.
“I think that’s what we’re doing, that’s what I’m doing especially. I’ve definitely picked up stuff I can take on into the season.”
speaking to liverpoolfc.com, the youngster believes he is in the best shape possible to make his first Premier League appearance since December 2021.

“I’m definitely ready, I think we’ve been ready for a few weeks now because we came in so early,”
“And I’m grateful for it because we’re all ready and we all look very fit. Everyone is working so hard in training; you’ve got to because the demands are so high, especially at this club.
“I’ve come back and I feel in the best shape I’ve been in, especially physically. I’ve just got to keep working hard, keep going and hopefully it’ll take me into a good place.”
