Moving to a club of Liverpool’s size, even if you have plied your trade at equally giant footballing institutions in the past, can be a very tough thing to adjust to.
Your every move is scrutinised, both on and off the pitch, and if you don’t hit the ground running, it doesn’t take too long...
Liverpool have kicked off the 2017/18 season in some style, taking seven points from a possible nine in the Premier League whilst cruising through their Champions League qualifier with surprising ease. Moreover, off the pitch, the rejection of Catalan advances on Phillipe Coutinho in conjunction with big money bids for Thomas Lemar and Naby...
After a dominant display against Hoffenheim, Liverpool were starting to look something like the team that did so well for the first half of the 2016-17 season.

The way in which Jurgen Klopp’s side blew their naive opponents away at Anfield, especially in the first-half, really was a sight...
Liverpool are back in the Champions League proper. The draw for the group stages could have been far worse than it has ended up being, but for now, that doesn't matter. What matters is Sunday evening at Anfield, for the first high-profile Premier League game of the season.

Liverpool booked a place in the Champions' League group stages with a 4-2 win over Hoffenheim, in a terrific attacking performance at Anfield.
With Jurgen Klopp's side taking a 2-1 away lead going into the tie, the Germans were very confident ahead of the clash - reflected in manager Julien Naglesmann's comments:
