A cloud of grief seems to have enveloped Anfield since Virgil van Dijk's devastating knee injury in the Merseyside derby.
'We will wait for him like a good wife is waiting when the husband is in jail,' was Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's typically colourful lament on the Dutchman's likely absence for the remainder of the season.
And while one newspaper's online book to collect 'messages of support' for Van Dijk - unsurprisingly mocked by rival fans as a 'book of condolence' - may have been a touch too far, there's no doubt his injury is a game-changing moment in this Premier League campaign.
