Liverpool got a taste of their own medicine on Saturday when they succumbed to a late-winning goal deep into stoppage time at Selhurst Park that saw the hosts hand Arne Slot's men their first defeat of the season.
While an improved performance following some tactical tweaks probably warranted a point for the Reds, they could not get the result over the line.
However, there is no time to sulk as a Champions League trip to Istanbul awaits on Tuesday when Liverpool must face the reigning Turkish League champions, and current league leaders, Galatasaray.
I've found three ways that Slot can get his side back on track when the action kicks off in Turkey.
1. Starting on the front foot
The first half against Palace exposed a flaw in Liverpool's current makeup as they were not the best side in the first 45 minutes of action.
This is not exactly a new development as the Reds have not blown many teams away in the first portions of matches this season.
They've been made to work and grind out the results, which they have done at an elite level to be fair.
Yet, this is going to be a very hostile environment against a dangerous opponent and they cannot afford their hosts to build early confidence and keep the crowd involved.
An early goal, or ideally two, would go a long way towards making this fixture much less daunting.
The longer Liverpool allows Galatasaray to hang around, the more likely we will see some Champions League chaos and who knows what can happen then. Start fast, score a goal and play from the front.
2. Clean up set-piece defending
Once again, not a new development here. However, this facet of the game cost Liverpool a draw against Palace, as both goals came from set-pieces.
The only goal allowed against Southampton in the Carabao Cup win was also from a poorly cleared corner as well, so recent trends do not look good.
With commanding figures in Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, not to mention a few others, there should be no excuse for the majority of balls into the box to not be cleared away. A lot of it comes down to just being aware of your 360 environment.
There appears to be occasional signs of panic when balls are deflected or don't get cleared right away, which is where Liverpool tend to lose their shape and goals are conceded as a result.
Two immediate threats that come to mind are Victor Osimhen and İlkay Gündoğan. They have several former Premier League players in their ranks so they will be more than ready to handle whatever tactics Slot throws at them.
A set-piece goal would have the already tough crowd on full tilt, which could be difficult to handle.
3. Play with a clear tactical vision
Slot fielded almost two entirely different formations against the Eagles at the weekend and it cost Liverpool points. A repeat act cannot happen in Istanbul.
A clear and firm tactical plan must be utilized as this atmosphere will not allow for a lot of comfortable adjustments throughout. I'd like an aggressive mindset from the Dutchman to get the attack going early so as to keep our hosts on the backfoot right away.
However the midfield shapes up, they will have a pivotal role to play as they will be the pace-setters and engine that moves things along in this one.
Controlled aggression will be the play for me as the Reds do have more overall talent, they can still be punished if they get off track even a little.
A player like Leroy Sane for example, will be eager to pounce on any mishap in the Liverpool setup.
So it's imperative that Slot drives home his expectations of everyone on the pitch and the players are united in their execution of these tactics.
So, starting fast and early with improved set-piece defending in combination with a clear tactical vision should be enough to see the Reds get back to their winning ways.
