Observations as Liverpool mark best ever tally from opening 12 games
Liverpool marched to a relatively routine 2-0 win against a labouring Fulham, regaining their spot at the top of the Premier League table with goals from Mohamed Salah and Xherdan Shaqiri.
Once again, this wasn't a vintage performance from Klopp's side, with questions remaining about how the manager gets the very best out of his players to regain the fluidity of last season.

Another Composed Anfield Display As Liverpool Beat Fulham 2-0
Liverpool took advantage of a controversial fifteen seconds to beat Fulham 2-0 at Anfield and move back to the top of the Premier League ahead of games for Chelsea and Manchester City. Despite the ropey nature of the first half and the question marks around their first goal, Liverpool were able to kill the game in the second half and see off a pretty average Fulham side.
The home side started the game well, with Trent Alexander-Arnold rampaging down the …

Liverpool slumped to a dismal 2-0 defeat in Belgrade on Tuesday night. The common theme among fans, myself included, is that defeat had been coming. The Redmen have looked to be just about stumbling over the line in recent weeks, suggesting that the extremely difficult opening couple of months' fixtures has taken its …
Red Star 2-0 Liverpool: What Went Wrong?
A sobering night in Belgrade saw a second successive away performance in the Champions League that left much to be desired. Far from the vintage Liverpool witnessed last season, this was as bleak as it gets for Jurgen's men; no ingenuity, no guile and no drive for success or at least attempt to turn the tables after a dismal opening forty-five minutes, Tuesday's display will be a genuine concern to many.
Naby Keita's continued recovery from injury would restrict him …

Pavkov… It’s one of those names that will end up being converted to a curse word from now on. Every time you stub a toe or pinch a finger, “PAVKOV!!!”
The trouble really started against Arsenal. Klopp’s reluctance to use his substitutes not only was a virtual white flag in London. It meant that the likes of Sturridge and Lallana …

Key Stats As Liverpool Draw At The Emirates
Liverpool took the lead at the Emirates thanks to a rare open-play James Milner goal – and should have had another goal if not for a poor refereeing decision – yet ended up with a draw thanks to conceding a late equalizer. But what were the key stats as Liverpool shared the spoils with the Gunners?

Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool: Lacazette leveller frustrates Reds
Philosophical debates will be had around the dinner tables of Merseyside as Liverpool fans reflect on Saturday's draw with Arsenal, struggling to decide if it's one point gained or two points dropped.
Glass half full, or half empty? After a 1-1 draw that include moments of genius combined with moments of madness, incompetency from officials and an open play goal from James Milner, it's difficult to pick a side.
However, given Arsenal's late charge, Jurgen Klopp may well feel pleased …
