Liverpool fans were ecstatic on Saturday afternoon, as Jurgen Klopp’s men thrashed Barcelona 4-0 at Wembley (writing that sentence seems strange in itself). Even accounting for all the ‘it’s only pre-season’ caveats, it was a very impressive display indeed.

Less impressive is what’s going on with Roberto Firmino’s hair at the moment. That tuft thing on top of his dome is in equals parts hilarious and unnerving. The only possible excuse is that he was a big fan of Mr Majeika as a kid, and used to collect troll dolls.

Everyone is taking the piss out of it. Fans, pundits…and now it seems even fellow players.

Barca ace Luis Suarez was thrilled to be facing his former club in the friendly match, and would have been forgiven for being a bag of nerves in the tunnel prior to kickoff. But he was more preoccupied with the Brazilian’s outlandish hairdo.

He made his views clear behind the player’s back, much to the amusement of Philippe Coutinho…
