But Jurgen Klopp has built something special from top to bottom in his squad - and comments from club legend Steven Gerrard indicate how things have changed. Gerrard explained how Luis Suarez arrived at Melwood and had “no respect” in training, refusing to be intimidated by club legends such as Jamie Carragher. But the fact his qualities were such a rarity rather than the norm at Melwood shows where Liverpool were falling short.

Suarez and Gerrard were once the stand-outs at Liverpool, but you sense nowadays they would fit in perfectly with Klopp’s team and culture.
