Liverpool showed semblances of their best-attacking form from last season, as Liverpool produced an identical scoreline from the corresponding fixture last season, beating Bournemouth 0-4.
There were a lot of good moments in the game, and the key observations are as follows...
Game 500 for Mr Versatile
With Joe Gomez being ruled out for a while due...
Waiting for the line-up card to come out has become one of the most suspenseful parts of the Liverpool experience in recent weeks. Most of the anticipation surrounds the season's long wait for Jurgen Klopp to actually field his best eleven, or what the majority of us assume is his best eleven. Injuries to...
Mohamed Salah reminds the Premier League exactly what he's all about and the Reds are top of the Premier League, for a few hours at least. Not a bad way to start the weekend.
Bournemouth aren't a bad side and the 4-0 scoreline doesn't really reflect the gulf between the two teams, but Liverpool were,...
With Joe Gomez's fractured leg putting him out of action for six weeks, Jurgen Klopp has got a choice to make.
It's not as if there was an attacking injury, with a flurry of names and formations available to the German. Liverpool's lack of centre-back's even rules out the chance of him switching to three...
The Divock Origi substitution was getting close to the Joël Matip substitution when it comes to things that are almost a parody.

It has felt like a long wait to see Naby Keita truly announce himself as a Liverpool player, but he’s gone and done it in emphatic fashion.
After waiting a year for him to even join the Reds, and then having to sit and endure several months of iffy form and injuries, here he is!

It was the height of drama, nothing has come close for many years.
Divock Origi's 96th-minute winner for Liverpool in the Merseyside derby was as climactic as things get, and keeps Klopp's momentum rolling over as we head into the winter months, where the fixtures come thick and fast.
The win keeps the Reds right on...
Moments of prescience are rare in football.
Surely there can have been no one in Anfield capable of predicting such a ludicrous outcome in a Merseyside derby, but I believe I was closer than most.
With the clock ticking down, the blue smoke gathering in the Anfield Road stand and the Fates about to point their...
