Just another Anfield nightmare for the overflowing memory banks

What Erling Haaland manages to remember from an afternoon of jarring action we may never know.

In his seminal 1690 work 'An Essay Concerning Human Understanding', John Locke proposes that one's personal identity extends only so far as one’s own consciousness. I take this to mean I only exist because I can remember a thousand and one cuts at Anfield. It is a sobering thought that occasionally brings me close to tears.

For Herr Klopp, close to tears himself after being red-carded for bearing his teeth at the linesman, maybe the recollection of those pre-match assurances that Liverpool could no longer cope and were not anymore in the title race will return at a later date.
