It's been a far from ideal start to the new Premier League season for Liverpool.
Having already lost ground on Manchester City in the title race following the opening-day 2-2 draw at Fulham, there was an added blow when it was revealed midfield metronome Thiago Alcantara would be set for a prolonged spell on the treatment table following the diagnosis of a hamstring injury he suffered at Craven Cottage.
Of course, it goes without saying, there is no need to panic just yet. However, Saturday's game will linger in the minds of Jurgen Klopp and Pep Lijnders until they are able to dust off the cobwebs and pick up their maiden victory of the season - with Monday's visit of Crystal Palace handing the Reds the perfect platform to do just that, ahead of the following's week's trip to the old foes Manchester United at Old Trafford.
