What’s Hot and What’s Not from Liverpool’s season so far

NOT – January

Liverpool fans will to forget that January 2017 ever happened.

Top-scorer Sadio Mane went away on African Cup of Nations duty, and missed seven games of the campaign; they didn’t bring any signings in during the transfer window; and they embarked on a run of form which saw their Premier League title challenge end, alongside their participation in both domestic cup competitions.

Klopp’s men beat Manchester City 1-0 on New Year’s Eve to remain second in the table and just six points behind Chelsea, yet they didn’t win any of their four league games in January, which saw them fall to fourth and ten points behind the Blues come February 1.

The Reds also saw their League and FA Cup quests come to an end within four days of each other, as they lost 2-0 on aggregate to Southampton in the semi-finals of the former, before succumbing to Championship Wolves 2-0 in the fourth round of the latter.

All in all, January was a horrendous month for Liverpool, and one that has ended their chances of any silverware this season.
