I was left empty by familiar Jurgen Klopp pose as Liverpool reality hits home

If Jurgen Klopp had hoped for a 'business as usual' performance from his Liverpool team at Anfield on Sunday then that is exactly what he got, even though the German manager has left the very supporters he admires stunned by the earthquake announcement he triggered on Friday.

So routine was the entertaining 5-2 win over Championship side Norwich City you could be forgiven for questioning whether the dramatic news of Klopp's pending departure had all been a bad dream.

The smartly reworked ode to Klopp based on the 1964 Beatles hit 'I Feel Fine' got a solid rendition at the start of the game, but in general the focus was exactly where it needed to be, on the performance from the players on the pitch.

Conor Bradley gave another superb performance down the flank. Always positive and driving forward with purpose. His significant contribution to the second goal
