After administering "four or five days of absolute truth" to his Liverpool players last week, it seems Jurgen Klopp has found that honesty is indeed the best policy.
This was not exactly a Reds side at their swashbuckling, awe-inspiring best, but they at least started to vaguely resemble the team who were good enough to reach the final of the Champions League just a few short months ago.
The 4-1 humbling at Napoli last week - a "horrorshow" of a performance Klopp frankly conceded was the worst of his near seven years at the club - inevitably opened the door to all manner of critiques and claims, with some even suggesting that the end of a glorious era was approaching at Anfield.
