Time For Liverpool's Title Bid To Get Serious
Liverpool are off to a good start in the Premier League, having won their opening five games to open up a five point lead at the top of the league. However, this is where the hard work really begins. Liverpool’s trickiest game on paper so far has been at Anfield, where they hosted an Arsenal side that have really struggled against the Reds in recent years. Away trips to Burnley and Southampton are always testy, but they simply aren’t difficult …

The Reds have won their opening five league games of the season and sit five points clear at the top of the table for now.
However, Frank Lampard's young Chelsea side has shown significant improvement in recent weeks with Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham, in particular, really coming into form.
Klopp's Reds will need to be at their …
Champions League or Premier League: Should Liverpool be prioritising?
Liverpool fans were most likely sick of being asked this question towards the tail end of last season, but it's one that this year takes on an entirely different meaning.
When asked at a press conference whether he would rather lift the Premier League or Champions League trophy at the end of the season, Jordan Henderson replied: "Both."
Now, a little over 100 days after Liverpool's captain lifted the iconic European Cup to join a plethora of legends at Anfield, …

Adrian insists he can't be happy with his saves against Napoli due to loss
Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian says that despite some fantastic saves against Napoli he can't be happy with himself as The Reds ended up losing 2-0.
Adrian made some brilliant stops against Carlo Ancelotti's side with one particular save from Dries Mertens at the far post standing out above all.
However, the Spanish shot-stopper insists he is not happy despite his heroics as his team still lost on the night.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, Adrian said:
“It’s my job as a goalkeeper, to …
Klopp's Still Got an Ace Up his Sleeve
It’s cliché to say it. It really is.
“Player (x) returning from injury, he’s practically a new signing!”
It’s tired, it’s worn out, it’s ostensibly untrue and it’s essentially trying to justify, rightly or wrongly, inactivity.
Yet, it sort of does feel like Naby Keita is a whole new signing.
Not in the conventional sense, because Liverpool fans have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Naby Keita for a long, long time. Since he was first announced – a season …
Why Virgil Van Dijk is better than Sergio Ramos
Twitter can be a strange place. In the past, it was a place to share opinions. Now the majority use it as a platform to ridicule them. Football Twitter has seeped into normal, everyday Twitter. People want to either trigger you or they stick on a mask and start looking for easy retweets and likes for the win.
Because of this, and the FUT generation, there's a lot of revisionism. Goalposts are generally moved to suit agendas, arguments or narratives.

Jordan Henderson says Liverpool will continue to move forward despite Napoli defeat
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson believes The Reds will bounce back in the right way from their Champions League defeat at Napoli on Tuesday night.
Jurgen Klopp's side lost 2-0 in Naples on the opening night of their Champions League title defence, thanks to a penalty from Dries Mertens and an injury-time goal from Fernando Llorente.
Up until Napoli's disputed late penalty, the game was a pretty even affair with Liverpool's passing in the final third the main reason The Reds …
Liverpool Must Improve
Absurd title, isn’t it? Allow me to explain...
Every Premier League game these days feels like a ‘must win’ for Liverpool Football Club. Such is life when you’re effectively chasing perfection and trying to outdo this Manchester City outfit.
The opening five (admittedly kind) league matches have been expertly navigated by Jürgen Klopp, yielding the perfect 15 point return that Liverpool fans dreamed of when the season began.
Now though, as summer ebbs away and the Champions League kicks off …
Napoli 2-0 Liverpool: What went wrong?
This is the second year in succession that I'm sitting down to ponder how Liverpool were beaten at the Stadio San Paolo, but the circumstances feel different.
Last season, it was more or less a case of a wretched team performance, but on the whole the Reds turned in a decent display at this time, even if their attacking bluntness returned.
They only had themselves to blame in 2018, yet this time around they can legitimately feel hard done by …
