Strange how despite the worst league finish in years for Liverpool has cast such a positive as ever outlook on the future.

Despite a 1-1 draw away to West Brom with a an almost unrecognizable lineup, the Reds head into the only match that matters on Wednesday night with a chance to play for both money and glory.

Never was Jurgen Klopp going to hazard a chance with the Europa League final in the offing. Consequently, Liverpool started at the Hawthorns with 11 changes and half the side having made fewer than 10 starts.

It all made for another late-season affair, except for a few highlight moments that had less to do with the play and more to do with the players making unlikely appearances as starters and substitutes.
