It seems that the only thing consistent about Liverpool just now is their inconsistency. The last few weeks have seen Jurgen Klopp's side record a succession of results that have veered from the superb to the abject, with no real rhyme or reason as to why.
Having initially looked like a corner had been turned with successive 1-0 wins at Anfield against Manchester City and West Ham United in mid-October, back-to-back Premier League losses to Nottingham Forest and Leeds United have understandably punctured that optimism.
Throw in two more victories in the Champions League against Ajax and Napoli, where they have scored five without conceding, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to predict just what version of Liverpool fans will be getting from game to game.
