Despite coming away with all 3 points on the night, Jurgen Klopp and his charges must deeply reflect on the performance tonight and the one against Paris, as these games have highlighted the issues the side is currently facing in front of goal.

Liverpool was lauded for their attacking play last year, tearing teams apart at ease with their frightening pace on the counter, and lethality in front of goal from their fabled front 3. The magical trio is certainly failing to live up to expectations this year, as all 3 men have had their struggles in front of goal.

Liverpool's increased defensive solidity means that the team is still grinding out results, but with the season almost at its midway point, now is the time to seriously consider whether this is just a blip in form, or if last season was an anomaly.
