As Liverpool slumped to a humiliating defeat at Manchester City in early April, Jurgen Klopp was left with plenty to digest as he watched the merciless mauling of his side from the sidelines of the Etihad Stadium.
There was plenty for the German to dissect with the defending against Pep Guardiola's side leaving much to be desired as goals from Julian Alvarez, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish cancelled out Mohamed Salah's early opener.
Defeat in east Manchester left the Reds seven points adrift of the top-four places and in desperate need of a reset ahead of their upcoming Premier League games against Chelsea and title-chasing Arsenal.
