After four matches in 11 days, Liverpool finally secured their first victory under new manager Jurgen Klopp. Beating Bournemouth 1-0 at Anfield in the Capital One Cup, amid exits for Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, may yet open up the road to Wembley.
Klopp will have learned much of the relentless demands of English football. Spread across two Premier League draws -- 0-0 with Tottenham; 1-1 with Southampton and a 1-1 draw with Rubin Kazan in the Europa League last week before Wednesday's win, he has given himself the chance to look at most of his squad in action.
