How best to judge Liverpool as they approach the halfway point of the season? There were some positives and more than a few concerns in this 2-1 win over Wolves. Pretty much how the entire season has shaped so far then. Verdict from Anfield.

For 83 minutes, anyone searching for proof that Liverpool had finally turned the corner on their season will have gathered plenty of evidence here at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Less so for the remainder of the game though.

"Mo goes down in history as a great for #LFC. He gets in the all-time best team for me if you're picking 11 players, but that's in the past. When I saw his comments, it irritated and annoyed me in equal amounts."

As Mohamed Salah lapped up the acclaim of the Kop, surely he will have thought twice about what a post-Liverpool life actually looks like for him. This can't be how it all ends for such a storybook career. Right place, wrong time.

At a time when Arne Slot is under-fire, the players are out of sorts and the entire club is engulfed by negativity, this was exactly what was needed for Liverpool tonight. It was a defiant response from a squad with its back to the wall.
