Jurgen Klopp described his side’s 6-0 thrashing of a woebegotten bottom placed Aston Villa as “a day for the soul”.
With Coutinho and Sturridge back in the team Liverpool are a much more potent force and moving up four places in the standings seems to be just a matter of time.
Brendan Rodgers was severely hampered by the absence of Sturridge due to injury.
His minutes per goal ratio of 117.6 is the best of any Liverpool player in Premier League history.

Sturidge is ahead of Fernando Torres (121.3 minutes per goal), Luis Suarez (138.8 minutes per goal) and Michael Owen (142.58 minutes per goal).
So Klopp has good reason to feel extremely happy to have Sturridge back on the side.
