Can Liverpool players do anything wrong right now?
The Reds are top of the Premier League after a fantastic start to the season that has Anfield regulars purring and rival fans looking on in envy.
Jurgen Klopp's re-engineered swashbuckling side has been drawing plaudits from (almost) all quarters for their free-scoring style and adventurous spirit, with the likes of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho all piling in with goals.
And it seems the latter has taken his club form with him on international duty, judging by the belter he scored for Brazil against rivals Argentina in their 2018 World Cup qualifier.

Not only was a it a cracking goal, it was the opening salvo in a 3-0 win for the hosts in which Neymar and Paulinho added two more.
The result puts Argentina sixth in their World Cup qualifying group - which means if qualification ended now they would not make the tournament in Russia.
"When they hit us hard, we struggled to recover," said Argentina captain Lionel Messi.
"We are more than aware that we have to change a lot. Of all the bad points, the good one is that we depend on ourselves but we can't be giving away any more points."
The only downside for Liverpool is that Coutinho's antics are only making Barcelona even more keen to snap him up.
Spanish daily Sport claims Barca are making signing the midfielder their top priority.
