In a season where precious little can be taken for granted at Liverpool, this was at least a welcome slice of the routine at Anfield.
Victory at home against a relegation-threatened team has not always been a given for Jurgen Klopp this term but this 2-0 win over Wolves had something of a mundane, ordinary quality that will have delighted the Reds boss no end.
The smile on his face as he made a beeline for all of his players at full-time revealed as much. As did the kiss he blew to the Kop, in fact. That was about as celebratory and demonstrative as Klopp got before he quietly disappeared down the tunnel. He knows the famous fist-bumping routine can be saved for more glamorous, high-profile achievements. Slowly but surely, this is a team finding its feet and emerging from the doldrums.
