On the day after the Reds' 7-1 Champions League mauling of Rangers, it's time for your Liverpool morning headlines.
What Jurgen Klopp showed Liverpool players at half-time to inspire Rangers blitz
Jurgen Klopp credited Liverpool's half-time team talk as the turning point after they obliterated Rangers 7-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Scott Arfield's opener was cancelled out by Roberto Firmino's header before the two teams went in level at the break and the first-half performance was a disappointing one in-keeping with much of the season so far.

However, Liverpool looked a much slicker unit after the restart as they scored six times, including a six-minute-and-12-second hat-trick from substitute Mohamed Salah alongside efforts from Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott and a second from Firmino, who made it 2-1 on the night.
"We had a really positive half-time talk," Klopp said. "We conceded a goal, scored an equaliser and had really good football moments, and we wanted more of that in the second half. We showed the boys which spaces we could play in. We knew especially if we could keep them moving, with the way they play, it could be really intense."

Why Giovanni van Bronckhorst stayed silent in Rangers dressing room after Liverpool defeat
Giovanni van Bronckhorst admits he can't explain how Rangers allowed Liverpool to romp to a historic victory in the Champions League.
The Scottish Premiership side took a first-half lead only to collapse in dramatic fashion in the final 20 minutes as they slumped to a 7-1 defeat at Ibrox on Wednesday evening.
It was the heaviest loss suffered by a Scottish side against English opposition in European competition, and also matched Rangers’ worst defeat in their history. And a downhearted Van Bronckhorst said: “It’s very hard to explain at the moment. I’m still processing the second half. I cannot explain it.
“We started the game really well first half, played really well. We knew the strength of Liverpool with their pressing and played well over their press with balls behind the defence and playing for the second ball. We scored the goal in a great transition moment. But we gave the corner away and we knew if you play short passes after short passes they will press you and it was the first moment we did it and got the goal against.”
