The 2016/17 season was, broadly speaking, a successful one. Attaining Champions League football was the bare minimum for a ‘successful season’, but under Klopp’s leadership, the team did so. In the process, Liverpool scored 78 goals in the league, at an average of just over two per game. Coutinho and Mané both scored 13 in […]
At every club, there are players who are divisive figures – ones who will never receive a single ounce of praise from a section of the support. Liverpool has had too many to mention down the years, but three who currently stand-out are undoubtedly Dejan Lovren, Lucas Leiva and Emre Can. The Reds trio receive […]

Liverpool play their final fixture before Christmas on Monday, and it’s only the small matter of an away trip to Everton. Indeed, the first Merseyside Derby of the season again falls away from Anfield, whilst there’s also the intriguing tactical battle sure to come from Ronald Koeman and Jürgen Klopp’s first face off in this […]
It’s a new dawn in the Premier League. Not just in terms of more money than ever being pumped into the league effectively evening the playing field somewhat, but more importantly, never before have people been able to find a collection of the most influential managers in world football today within the same league at […]
The blueprint for Brendan Rodgers’ successful Liverpool side in 2013/14 is being used by a few teams that are surprising the Premier League this season. Two mobile strikers who combine pace and power. It’s not a revelation of course, the two man strike force is something we’re accustomed to seeing in the Premier League. However […]
