Understated Robertson continues superb start to the season
In years and decades to come, Liverpool supporters will look back at this phenomenal team and pick out the poster boys from it, lavishing them with love and praise.
Whereas some great teams only have two or three iconic figures to bore future generations to death about, there are endless contenders in this Liverpool side.
Virgil van Dijk is a defensive colossus who completely transformed the team when he arrived, with the unrivalled Alisson not too far behind in that …
He's Not Perfect, But He's Ours
I just want to make a point, a point that should be obvious to all Liverpool supporters, but something that seems to be lost in the reactionary atmosphere in which we live these days.
Adrian.
Adrian is our back-up keeper. If he was good enough to be a top-6 keeper elsewhere, he would be. But he's with us, he's a Red, and he loves being a Red!
He saved a penalty to win us the UEFA Super Cup in August …
Will this be Liverpool's starting lineup to play Sheffield United on Saturday night?
Liverpool return to Premier League action on Saturday night when Sheffield United visit Anfield. Let's have a look at the likely starting eleven for The Reds.
Jürgen Klopp will be hoping to welcome back Thiago Alcântara and Joël Matip to the squad while Kostas Tsimikas and Naby Keïta will also face late fitness tests.
Some good news for Klopp is that Joe Gomez and Fabinho looked good as a central-defensive partnership against Ajax on Wednesday night. The Reds kept a …
Ajax 0-1 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match?
Liverpool made a solid start to their 2020/21 Champions League campaign with a 1-0 victory over Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena. It wasn’t the most convincing of wins, with the Reds requiring a strange own-goal from Nicolas Tagliafico to win them the game. Nevertheless, after a couple of scary moments at the back, Liverpool defended quite well and came away with a much-needed clean sheet.
In goal, he was at it again. Adrian made one good save to deny Quincy Promes …

Tactical Breakdown: Ajax 0-1 Liverpool
Despite both clubs' European pedigree, the last competitive game between these two sides was played back in the time of Bill Shankly. Much has changed since then. Nonetheless, football is still football, and tactics are the gameplans employed by managers to produce a particular outcome. These gameplans are often the product of the manager's philosophy, the players available to them and the opposition team, all of which characterised both manager's setups on Wednesday night.
Liverpool set up in their usual …
Klopp praises Fabinho and Joe Gomez central defensive partnership after win at Ajax
Liverpool got their Champions League campaign off to a great start thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win away to Ajax with Fabinho and Joe Gomez forming a solid partnership in central defence.
Fabinho had a particularly good game at centre-half while Joe Gomez also showed a marked improvement in his level of performance. This could be the regular defensive pairing Jürgen Klopp opts for now with Virgil van Dijk gone for the rest of the season.
Nicolás Tagliafico's own-goal in …
Thiago Influence Can Lift Jordan Henderson To Old Self
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 in midfield four, the captain has been a consistent performer for most of the time since his summer 2011 move from Sunderland.
Playing as the …
Ajax 0-1 Liverpool: Player ratings as Reds battle to three Group D points
Liverpool ended their run of three games without a win by doggedly beating Ajax.
Nicolas Tagliafico's clumsy own-goal was ultimately the difference, though Davy Klaassen hit the post and Liverpool spurned opportunities of their own in the closing stages.
Here's how the Reds rated in Amsterdam...
Adrian - 7
It was far from a confident start - the mix-up with Gomez and the flashbacks to the howler at Southampton - and the finish was nervy as well, a flapped punch …
Liverpool Open Group D Campaign With Win
An own goal from Nicolas Tagliafico saw Liverpool open their Champions League Group D campaign with a 1-0 victory away to Ajax.
Far from their best, the Reds -- who played a makeshift centre half pairing of Joe Gomez and Fabinho -- battled their way to a win in a professional rather than purring showing.
It was clear from the opening that the hosts -- so renowned for their offensive style of football -- would endeavour to attack the English …
