Liverpool Tactical Analysis
Hull at home is the kind of match that all too often caused Liverpool to stumble in recent years. On this occasion a combination of irrepressible attacking movement and midfield creativity swept Liverpool to victory. There have been definite signs over recent weeks that Liverpool are finally settled in to the tactical system and playing […]
Liverpool have made a habit out of developing talented attackers throughout the years. The club’s history is just littered with rough gems who have turned into diamonds during their time at Anfield. It must be environmental. Very few clubs in world football can boast that they’ve had the likes of Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, […]
We are now five matches in to the league season and the competition is beginning to take on a more established look with sides finding their form. After an inconsistent start to the season, Liverpool began to find their feet with a win last week against reigning champions Leicester City. The fifth game of the […]
The start of the 2016/17 season has been largely underwhelming for Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and indeed for the clubs fans. A high octane start in the win at Arsenal was followed by a largely ineffectual performance against newly promoted Burnley. The last game before the international break saw Liverpool somewhat unfortunate to come away […]
The early stages of the league season have been inconsistent at best for Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool side. The first match away at Arsenal was a game of high emotion and an even higher tempo as both sides struggled to find any defensive cohesion. Liverpool still took the three points to face Burnley in […]
First things first, I know it was only Burton Albion, I know they’re currently sat 18th in the Championship and I know they’ve conceded nine goals in just the four league games this season. I’m by no means implying, announcing or suggesting that Liverpool going to win the league because of how easy it was […]
The early stages of any football season are difficult to assess accurately. Teams are all coming off of pre season schedules with different demands in terms of travel and commitments to various sponsors. Star players are also often behind their colleagues in terms of preparation time following international matches or competitions. In matchday one Liverpool […]
After the humbling of Barcelona last weekend many Liverpool fans thought the Reds would fly out of the traps against a weakened Arsenal side. What fans witnessed in those opening 45 minutes was the complete opposite. A dozy opening 45 minutes saw Arsenal mount attack after attack and look destined to take a 1-0 lead […]
I know I said not to read into pre-season results much but I’m a liar. Words did no justice to the performance Liverpool put in on Saturday against Barcelona and I resorted to just making the odd animalistic noise to show my approval. I’m not ashamed by it. Shame implies I was embarrassed by my […]
It was a Jekyll and Hyde weekend for Liverpool fans as the Reds rounded off their pre-season in bizarre fashion. An emphatic 4-0 victory at Wembley against Barcelona was followed up with a 4-0 loss against Mainz in Germany. Defeat against Klopp’s old club pissed on our bonfire. Yes it’s only pre-season and results aren’t […]
