Liverpool emphatically answered their critics after thrashing Watford 5-0 at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Jurgen Klopp’s side needed to show a response after two goalless draws on the bounce to Bayern Munich and Manchester United and they did just that.
A dominant start saw the Reds take control of the game with Sadio Mane netting twice inside the opening 20 minutes.
Divock Origi, who replaced the injured Roberto Firmino, added a third just after the hour mark, before Virgil van Dijk headed home twice in three minutes to complete a 5-0 rout of Javi Gracia’s side.
Liverpool held a 2-1 second half lead, but the Reds surrendered two goals relatively late to drop three points to Farnerbahce 3-2 in Champions League action. The Reds have lost two matches in a row.
Liverpool have made 5 changes ahead of their Champions League match with Fenerbahce. Joe Gomez and Kostas Tsimikas come in defense while Dominik Szoboszlai, Rio Ngumoha and Victor Muñoz come in to reshape the midfield.
While Andoni shifts his lineup for Carabao Cup games, he does not usually do so for the Champions League. Therefore, he goes with a pretty traditional lineup with just a few changes from the last outing vs. Arsenal
