Jordan Henderson
Diogo Jota’s hat-trick and Liverpool’s overall performance were the main talking points from the Reds’ 5-0 hammering of Atalanta last Tuesday. But it shouldn’t be lost in the narrative that the English champions featured four homegrown, academy produced players over the course of the 90 minutes in Bergamo. Rhys Williams slotted in comfortably at centre […]
With minimal rest between games and an extremely unfortunate recent injury record, Liverpool are battling, hard, each week. Late on Saturday evening, West Ham United went to Anfield without their in-form striker Michail Antonio, but still with a clear, disruptive game plan in mind. David Moyes’ West Ham were structured in a 5-4-1 system, with […]
Liverpool’s injury woes continued last night as The Reds suffered more bad luck during their 2-0 Champions League win over FC Midtjylland. Jürgen Klopp’s Reds had to remain patient before second-half goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah (penalty) sealed the three points. However, the victory came at a price as Liverpool’s makeshift centre-half Fabinho […]
Jordan Henderson is an extremely versatile player, as we’ve seen throughout the entirety of his Liverpool career. Whether it’s been as the midfield anchor, as an energetic, box to box tornado of engine room intensity or — as we saw in his first season with the Reds, under Kenny Dalglish — as a right midfielder […]
Liverpool’s goalless draw against Everton back in June – the first game of the restarted league season – was an intriguing affair in which Everton posed a number of tactical questions to Liverpool, and was able to slow down the red juggernaut. With Ancelotti’s coaching clearly making a difference to Everton’s performance, this game had […]
Liverpool drew 2-2 with Everton at Goodison Park, after a dramatic final few minutes, which saw Jordan Henderson’s would-be winner cancelled out by VAR for offside. Sadio Mane gave the Reds an early lead, which was soon pegged back by Michael Keane. Mo Salah put the Reds back in front in the second half, but […]
Liverpool’s success since the appointment of Jurgen Klopp has been built around the press. Initially, it was full-throttle, relentless and tiring to watch. But as the team evolved, so did the press. Their approach was more meticulous, their approach was more intelligent and they seemed to take a more measured approach to it all. It […]
Liverpool will welcome back all of their international players in the next day or two after last night’s UEFA Nations League action. Some players – such as CaoimhÃn Kelleher and Divock Origi – didn’t get any game time on Wednesday night. Kelleher and Origi were unused substitutes for Ireland and Belgium respectively. Virgil van Dijk […]
Liverpool should have Thiago Alcântara and Sadio Mané available for selection for this Saturday’s clash with Everton at Goodison Park. Jürgen Klopp may also be able to bring Jordan Henderson back into the starting lineup but Naby Keïta will miss out after an initial positive test while on international duty in recent days. Keïta tested […]
Every top team wants versatile players. In fact, they need flexible players to give them the option of changing things within a match without having to make changes. Liverpool, as an example, have deployed Sadio Mane on the left, on the right and at times centrally. Mohamed Salah has played right-wing and as a centre-forward. […]
