European champions cannot display signs of weakness, especially this early into their reigns.

The Champions League holders have already been criticised for not building from a position of strength.Whether it is four, six or even eight weeks without the influential Brazilian, Klopp's side could see their renewed bid to wrest the English Premier League title from Manchester City prematurely derailed.

But a lack of ready-made reinforcements and potential outgoings have left the Reds resembling a house of cards more than the well-heeled ensemble of 12 months ago that seemed destined to end Anfield's 29-year wait for domestic success. Expectations have been lowered as a result; effectively ensuring Lampard a free pass for this season. There is, however, still no escaping the current and harsh realities of an abject start.Last Sunday's comprehensive 4-0 demolition by Manchester United became a fresh nadir as the worst opening to a Chelsea manager's tenure in over four decades.
