Headless.

No, that's not a succinct evaluation of Loris Karius' most recent performance between the sticks for Liverpool. It's a description of one of the worst photographs you're ever going to feast your eyes on as one Reds supporter rushed when granted the chance to take a photograph with manager Jurgen Klopp and members of the squad prior to Liverpool's 2-2 draw with West Ham. On his way to Anfield to watch the Premier League game, Mike Deane - not to be confused with Mike Dean - spotted Klopp and immediately recognised the perfect opportunity to celebrate his wife's birthday. Amy Deane asked Klopp for a photo to mark her special day and, class act that he is, the German obliged and got some of his players involved. It was a great idea but... the execution... not so much.
