‘Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop’. As I write this blog entry almost 18 months after the match, I thought it apt to put a reminder of where to start with this one. The truth be told I am ambivalent about trips to Liverpool and cannot remember much about this home game against Stoke. Thankfully there were no travel hold-ups and the end result meant that we went home happy for once.

Moreno’s early long-range strike put Liverpool ahead, before Bojan equalised for the Potters. Sturridge – who at this time was in a decent run of form – made it 2-1, before a brace from Origi saw Liverpool comfortably take 3 points. Stoke have been a thorn in Liverpool’s side at times, so this was a welcome win.

The table after this game showed where Liverpool were in this packed season; the 3 points only just edged them a point ahead of Stoke, but still left them 9 points adrift of the Champions League places. Their next game would be the epic second leg against Borrussia Dortmund, so it was good to see minds and bodies focused today. Looking back at this from the start of 2017/18 shows just how far Liverpool have come since Klopp arrived on Merseyside.
