Liverpool fans have speculated about Arne Slot having a new way of motivating his players this season.
The Reds have enjoyed a perfect start to their Premier League title defence, winning three games from three.
However, their victories have not been without drama, with late goals coming in each match from various unsung figures.
During their 4-2 win against Bournemouth, the Cherries had pulled the game back to 2-2 before Federico Chiesa scored in the 88th minute, with Mohamed Salah adding a fourth in added time.
Against Newcastle, Slot’s side were up against it, but teenage sensation Rio Ngumoha, then 16, scored a goal in the 10th minute of stoppage time to help the Reds steal a 3-2 victory.
Then in their crunch early season title clash against Arsenal, Dominik Szoboszlai’s stunning free kick was the difference as he fired home from 30 yards out in the 83rd minute.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed three decisive moments being marked at their training ground
And, eagle-eyed supporters had noticed all of those interventions being marked at Liverpool’s training ground.
In the club’s latest YouTube video of their series ‘Inside Training’, which gives fans insight behind the scenes, one shot gained particular attention.
As Jeremie Frimpong underwent one particular running drill in an indoor training area, three photos were on the wall in the background.
Those shots were of Chiesa, Ngumoha and Szoboszlai scoring or celebrating their decisive moments.
One account shared the insight and added: ‘At 2:08 from “Inside Training”, notice how all the best moments from the current season had been captured and put on the wall of the training room. New tradition?’
Other fans were loving the new motivation technique as another said: ‘Nice touch. Hopefully the players aren’t competitive and don’t get greedy shooting too much.’

A further supporter chimed in with: ‘We’re 3 games in and we’ve had 3 season defining moments, before a further fan added: ‘This club does things the right way.’
On Wednesday, Liverpool fans also got their first glimpse of Alexander Isak as he trained with the squad for the first time.
The £125million British record arrival appeared to be in great spirit as he was pictured beaming with a huge grin in the club’s Adidas training gear.
Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether Arne Slot’s new No 9, who netted an impressive 23 Premier League goals last term, will be fit enough to start at Turf Moor against Burnley on Sunday after missing out on a pre-season, although he did feature off the bench in Sweden’s 2-0 defeat by Kosovo on Monday.
