#1 A sense of Déjà vu for the Liverpool fans

Much to ponder

While the game against Watford can be counted out as it was their opener, the recurring theme of failing at the back and dropping points against lower quality teams is something that must be infuriating the fans.

The likes of Manchester United and Manchester City have found a way against teams who play a low-block and for some reason, Liverpool can't do the same despite having good players at their disposal.

Klopp's overdependence on counter-attacking has something to do with the results as teams are happy to relinquish the ball and wait for their chance, like Burnley showed earlier in the day.

Klopp used most of his attacking options today -- Coutinho, Firmino, Sturridge and Salah -- yet they could breach the goal just once which is worrying. Is it time for Klopp to alter his system and become less predictable?
