With questions marks surrounding Liverpool's bottle - or lack thereof - following a dire 0-0 draw with Southampton at Anfield, left-back Alberto Moreno decided to manifest himself as a living metaphor on the bench.
After a woeful 37 minutes in which few clear chances were created by either side, Jurgen Klopp cut a frustrated figure in his technical area, snarling orders at his lacklustre charges.
Perhaps even more frustrated was Moreno, who - for a brief, four-second period - looked like he wished he was anywhere else on the planet than sat in the Anfield dugout.
With Liverpool's top four challenge fading, Moreno embarked upon a challenge of his own - the bottle flip challenge, to be precise.

A huge number of Liverpool fans who spotted Moreno struggle with his water bottle were livid; it was the epitome of Liverpool's problems - a mental defficiency versus sides they should be beating, a lack of interest against the so-called 'so-called' smaller teams.
@Cuteiinho Did you see the vid of Moreno bottle flipping? You can tell how much this team is willing to try and get top 4

A result and performance like that and you've got Moreno being 6 years of age on the bench tryna flip a bottle. Turn it in soft lad.

I hate Moreno like the next guy, but all the dickhead done was a bottle flip wouldn't you? After that shit show of a half

A vocal proportion of Reds, however, empathised with Moreno.
The majority of bottle-flipping enthusiasts seemed grateful for his antics during an otherwise non-descript fixture.

Alberto Moreno doing bottle flips sitting behind his gaffer is by far, the most exciting thing to happen this afternoon so far.

The one notable incident from the match saw Fraser Forster save a penalty from James Milner midway through the second half; it was Forster's first ever penalty save from nine attempts, and Milner's first miss from the spot since 2009.
As one Twitter Red acknowledged, 'That's Liverpool, la'.
