When you look at Liverpool’s success so far this season, one of the key reasons that the team has played consistently well is the lack of injuries to key players. Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold aside, of Liverpool’s main starting XI (or starting X plus one if we’re being fair), nobody has picked up anything more than a minor niggle this season.
And some would say that in that respect, Liverpool have been very lucky. Going through the team, there …

Criticism of Salah Has Gone Predictably Overboard
There was a moment during Liverpool's ugly, nerve-wracking 2-1 win over Fulham on Sunday that epitomised Mo Salah.

Sadio Mané's goal at Fulham meant 36-year-old Rush and Dalglish achievement was equalled
Sadio Mané's opening goal in Liverpool's 2-1 win at Fulham last Sunday meant that he and Mohamed Salah had managed to achieve something last managed by club legends Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush, 36 years ago!
As reported in Liverpoolfc.com, Salah and Mané became the first pair of Reds forwards to both reach at least 20 goals each in all competitions for two seasons in a row since 1983.
Last season, Mané scored 20 goals as Liverpool finished fourth in …
What's going on with Xherdan Shaqiri?
Many thought he was almost certain to start against Fulham on Sunday, but when Adam Lallana was included in Klopp's starting XI, the recent whispers around what is going on with Xherdan Shaqiri grew just that little bit louder.

International breaks are annoying, aren’t they?
Fresh off the back of three pulsating Liverpool victories in a week, approaching the back end of the season, ready for the final run-in, and now we get two full weeks of no Liverpool action, and having to watch international teams play largely pointless fixtures against the backdrop of hoping nobody from LFC gets injured.
But this article isn’t going to be a gripe at the lack of Liverpool action over the next couple …
