It is exactly 12 months since Liverpool were thumped at Napoli in the Champions League to begin in earnest their reinvention under Jurgen Klopp
The penny dropped so loudly for Jurgen Klopp it could probably have been heard all the way back on Merseyside from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
This was 12 months ago, September 7 2022. Just 102 days after being unfortunate to lose the Champions League final to Real Madrid, Liverpool opened their next European campaign with a 4-1 thumping at Napoli. As Klopp conceded post-match, the answers were not immediate. Nor could they be, so deep-rooted were the issues that had sent Liverpool wildly off course having come so close to claiming an unprecedented quadruple a few months earlier.
Defence is where there has been least change, with four of the back five - including goalkeeper Alisson Becker - who lined up last weekend against Aston Villa also started in Italy. That has been addressed, with the progress of Stefan Bajcetic, an unused substitute that night, the return to fitness of 22-year-old Curtis Jones - who has started 11 of the ongoing 15 unbeaten Premier League games - and the impact in midfield of summer signings of 24-year-old Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. Another new arrival, 21-year-old Ryan Gravenberch, will soon have opportunities.
