Summary

Seven wins from seven, top of the Premier League, and off to a flyer in the Champions League, but have Liverpool hit top gear yet?That is the question Reds season-ticket holders Sean Bradbury, Dan Kay and Paul Philbin answer in our latest View from the Kop podcast.There is no doubt Jurgen Klopp's side played within themselves in the second half of the 3-0 victory over Southampton, which Paul says is exactly the type of one he's been waiting for.It was a victory that also extended Liverpool's unbeaten league run at home to 24 matches, an impressive record of 16 wins and eight draws that make Joey Barton's comments today perplexing.The lads discuss those, and also the difference in atmosphere between European nights and afternoon kick-offs at Anfield, before talks turn to Mohamed Salah, his return to the scoresheet at the weekend and his interesting evening at the FIFA awards.Whether Salah will start Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash with Chelsea is open to question but Sean is certain it is a competition Klopp must target to claim the first trophy of his Reds reign.The focus then switches to the second game in the double-header with Chelsea and the visit of Manchester City to Anfield and why the rivalry between those clubs and Liverpool is one-sided. Dan, in particular, has strong opinions on the subject.Enjoy. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

It maintained Liverpool's perfect starts of the season.

So was the fact that it was so routine which just made it all the more impressive?
