First up, the house facet. Jürgen Klopp’s guys came into this season with a quiet confidence. Injury issues in defence were put at the back of them and the frontline had been banging in goals for a laugh, Mohamed Salah ripping up more pages within the scoring document books whilst the likes of Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino were additionally getting more worried.
