Liverpool

Liverpool kind-of, sort-of, maybe are starting to look like what Jurgen Klopp wants them to look like.

This should terrify everybody. 

Liverpool played Hull on Saturday, but really "play" is the wrong word, because there was nothing playful about how hard they ran and scrapped and clawed whenever Hull had the ball.

Let's try again: Liverpool worked Hull on Saturday, both in terms of destroying Hull on the scoreboard and working all game, both with and without the ball.

One of the most fun things about the EFL Cup is when big clubs get upended by Championship and lower-level clubs, like Everton going down to Norwich City earlier today. Watching giants get humbled by minnows is a delight to everyone not a fan of that particular giant, and it's of particular amusement to fans of giants that made it through to the next round.

Liverpool announced their top-four candidacy with a good-but-not-overwhelming 2-1 win against Chelsea at Samford Bridge Friday.

 Dejan Lovren, of all people, opened the game up with an easy finish in the 17th minute.

We have already discussed our feelings about the top-knot at length, so we're going to cut right to the chase and commend Liverpool left back Alberto Moreno for removing that monstrosity from his head.

Liverpool seem to be in a "good one week then trash the next week" holding pattern, but nobody really cares about that this week because LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID TO LEICESTER.

Anfield's new main stand was finally unveiled, and emotions ran high as Roberto Firmino opened the scoring. Also THAT TOUCH.
