Over an impossible last month, where Liverpool’s squad have shown admirable strength in striving to just keep going, some have been counselled that it’s going to hit them when they won’t expect it. It might be the empty place at training. It might be a highlight on television. It might be one of the many occasions when team’s fans sing his song, to the tune of “Bad Moon Rising”.
It might hit most over this weekend, when the lives of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva will be commemorated all over the Premier League, but especially at Anfield on Friday.
