For a long time, it was unimaginable that anyone could disrupt the harmony of Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino playing as an attacking trio.
It's testament to Diogo Jota that the forward, signed from Wolves as a back-up option to offer Liverpool more depth, has now given Jurgen Klopp a serious selection headache.
The Portuguese has scored seven goals in his first 10 games for the club, including a Champions League hat-trick in the 5-0 win over Atalanta in midweek.
Just 23 years of age, Jota also got himself on the scoresheet against Arsenal, Sheffield United, West Ham and Midtjylland.
That means he's averaging a goal every 71.4 minutes - and to think, he isn't even guaranteed a start against Manchester City on Sunday!
According to Planet Football, who have crunched the numbers, only Robbie Fowler has made a better start to life at Anfield. Let's take a look at how Jota's stats compare to previous Liverpool forwards.
Diogo Jota:
7 goals, 0 assists, minutes per goal 71.4 (10 games, 5 starts)
Mo Salah:
6 goals, 2 assists, minutes per goal 131.5 (10 games, 9 starts)
Fernando Torres:
6 goals, 1 assist, minutes per goal 112.3 (10 games, 7 starts)
Robbie Fowler:
10 goals, 3 assists, minutes per goal 90 (10 games, 10 starts)
Luis Suarez:
3 goals, 5 assists, minutes per goal 277 (10 games, 9 starts)
Michael Owen:
4 goals, 0 assists, minutes per goal 203.2 (10 games, 9 starts)
Daniel Sturridge:
5 goals, 3 assists, minutes per goal 149 (10 games, 8 starts)
Sadio Mane:
4 goals, 4 assists, minutes per goal 224.5 (10 games, 10 starts)
The fact Jota is being mentioned in the context of some of the great Liverpool forwards of the modern era just shows what an impact he's made since his summer transfer.
Klopp's conundrum is weighing up whether the champions' system is better suited to Firmino's style of play.
The Brazilian's ability to drop deeper into the midfield could suit the Reds better against teams like City, when they may have less of the ball than they're accustomed to.
That said, Jota would have every right to feel hard done by if he's left on the bench given his form over the past few weeks.
