Liverpool 5-5 Arsenal (5-4 pens): Who was man of the match?
It may only have been a League Cup Round of 16 tie, but this will go down as a classic. Liverpool's youth contingent, above all local lad Curtis Jones, will remember for it for the rest of their still-nascent careers.
Twice in this match Liverpool were dealt hammerblows - falling 4-2 behind in catastrophic fashion before Joe Willock's wondergoal threatened to render their valiant comeback meaningless. But evidently the relentlessness, the unwavering belief which characterises the first-team is pervasive.

Liverpool 5-5 Arsenal (5-4 pens) - Player Ratings as Mini Mentality Monsters advance in League Cup
Well, where do we start? Arsenal scored five goals at Anfield. Liverpool had a bunch of kids and a few experienced men on the pitch. This should never have ended like it did for the Gunners, but it was a tribute to the mentality Jurgen Klopp has built at this club.

What makes English wonderkid so special?

Suso is turning out for AC Milan, he’s been linked with Spurs and Barcelona but moves failed to materialise and he still calls the San Siro home. The Italian side are European royalty but they’re in decline.

Harvey Elliott is Missing Something...
Typically, when a player as young as sixteen is standing out in senior football you can invariably bank on one of two things being immediately evident. Either:
a) The kid has a natural physique well beyond his years or;

Yet, for all the acclaim that Harvey Elliott’s first team bow for the Reds has rightly drawn, neither of those things are reasons for the understandable wave of optimism surrounding his inaugural Liverpool performance. In …
Six games, 18 days: The period where Klopp's squad will be acutely assessed
Six games, 18 days. Forget the 100 per cent start to the new league season, this is the period where the bulk of Jurgen Klopp's squad will be put through the wringer.
The European champions will barely have an opportunity to breathe once the team are reunited following the international break and the return to club football.
Questions were raised over the manager's decision to not dip into the transfer market for fresh ammunition, and this will be the period …
