Never mind Liverpool’s inconsistent failings so far this campaign as we near the mid-season break for the World Cup, October was a rollercoaster ride all on its own for the Reds, filled with twists and turns and ups and downs.
There were memorable highs, such as the 1-0 home victory over Man City, a handful of corners turned, like winning 7-1 away at Rangers and 3-0 away at Ajax, and then those miserable lows - namely defeats to struggling Nottingham Forest and Leeds United.
Between October 1 and November 1, Jurgen Klopp 's side took to the field a hefty 10 times. They'd win six games, draw one and lose three while scoring 22 goals but shipping 10. On paper, it perhaps doesn’t quite resemble the emotional minefield Liverpool have had to conquer, but while they are through to the knockout stages of the Champions League, a ninth place standing in the Premier League table with an eight-point deficit on the top four tells its own story.
