Jurgen Klopp has called on his Liverpool players to produce the same level of performance that saw them hammer champions Leicester City 4-1 on a consistent basis.
A Roberto Firmino brace, along with goals from Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana comfortably disposed of the Foxes at Anfield in a display that showed Liverpool at their thrilling, intoxicating best.
However, the German coach has challenged his squad to maintain the momentum and avoid another quick slip-up, stating:"We knew we had to do the job today and that is what we did."
"We were strong physically, flexible, quick, creative. We scored wonderful goals and conceded a not-too-wonderful goal and had a few minutes where you saw what can happen in a football game.
"At half-time, I told the boys, 'This is our challenge'. When we are good, we are really good but when we had some problems, it is not easy.
"This is the challenge for the whole season. We had a minimum 30 to 35 minutes at Arsenal which I didn't see until then from us in the movements, which were so strong and clear.
"Leicester are really difficult to play. They are so tuned and apart from one player they played with champions (only Daniel Amartey of the Foxes' starting line-up was not at the club last season) so everything is clear.

"We were not tuned. We had to change in a very decisive position yesterday. We had to bring in Lucas (for Dejan Lovren, who sustained a badly bruised eye in training); a great player but the most difficult game for a centre-half, especially when you don't play it 500 times in a row."
Klopp also explained why he reacted angrily when Anfield sang his name throughout the game, saying that the supporters should serenade the players instead.
"Please don't sing my name before the game is decided," he said. "When the Kop started singing it, (Leicester) were alone in front of Simon Mignolet.
"I don't play. It was the same at Arsenal. It is nice but not necessary. I am really on the side of the players. I am responsible for our bad performances, they are responsible for the good performances.
"That is an easy deal. That is what I expect from us, what we did today."
