It is 12 months to the day since Liverpool's defensive difficulties reached their nadir during a 4-1 humbling at Tottenham. At that point, Liverpool had conceded 16 goals in their opening nine Premier League matches - their worst defensive record at that stage of a season since 1964-65. Klopp has overseen a truly historic transformation in their defensive performances, with the fact Liverpool have conceded just three league goals so far the proudest statistic of all. It appears Klopp has finally sorted Liverpool's defence, and the 38 league matches — equivalent to a full Premier League campaign — they have played since that Tottenham debacle bears that out. But most significantly of all, Liverpool's league win percentage has risen from 53 per cent to 66 per cent.
