Back in the summer, who really expected to be this happy about Liverpool by the time early November arrived? Come on, be honest. We all saw that daunting run of early fixtures, and when the joy of beating Arsenal was soured by the woeful result at Burnley, even a top-four challenge felt a long way […]
Liverpool are absolutely flying. Beyond all expectations thought of months earlier, the Reds have fired themselves to the top of the table as we hit the early November international break. Liverpool have won a stunning 9 out of their last 10 fixtures in all competitions, and following the 6-1 dismantling of Watford, Jurgen Klopp’s men […]
At what point do we accept that Liverpool are genuine title contenders? Some say that to win the title you have to beat your closest challengers, in fact that is only half the battle. The true path to title glory is making sure you do not drop points against the teams that you should be […]
There’s no more of this joint top of the league shit. After the emphatic win against Watford at Anfield the Reds are now a point clear at the top as we head into yet another unnecessary International break. It’s the first time we’ve been able to say we’re top of the league since May 2014. Hopefully it’s […]

The great managers of English football […]
Well it’s midweek after yet another confident Liverpool win, and the dust from the match has settled. After watching the match I remembered that back at the beginning of the season I’d thought about doing a weekly analytics article talking about each week’s match. I wanted the articles to be about the types of metrics […]
As we approach the beginning of November you can start to see the Premier League table take shape. The early weeks of the season are spent with teams striving to find their feet and deal with any lingering fitness or personnel issues. As the season progresses though form starts to take hold and teams establish […]
Liverpool’s victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday evening was a bit of a whirlwind performance. It highlighted the very best of Jurgen Klopp’s revamped Reds side whilst simultaneously exposing to the world their glaring frailties. At times it almost felt like Liverpool’s attack versus their defence. It had a 2013/14 sort of feel to it. […]
It was billed as Benteke v Liverpool; the striker’s first game against his former club after his ill-fated move to Anfield lasted just one season.
