LFC Statistical Comparisons
Liverpool are absolutely flying. Beyond all expectations thought of months earlier, the Reds have fired themselves to the top of the table as we hit the early November international break. Liverpool have won a stunning 9 out of their last 10 fixtures in all competitions, and following the 6-1 dismantling of Watford, Jurgen Klopp’s men […]
Well it’s midweek after yet another confident Liverpool win, and the dust from the match has settled. After watching the match I remembered that back at the beginning of the season I’d thought about doing a weekly analytics article talking about each week’s match. I wanted the articles to be about the types of metrics […]
Liverpool Football club isn’t for the faint of hearted. The evidence is there; between Istanbul, the now infamous games against Dortmund and Villarreal, and even that fateful night in Basel when the lights shone down on Klopp’s tenure and left Liverpool in a puddle of despair. Every game is a new cardiac examination of one’s […]
Just this past Monday, Dominic King of the Mail Online, produced an article stating how Manchester United nullified the effectiveness of Liverpool’s Sadio Mane, during the recent stalemate at Anfield. Where he might have been correct in this statement, it was clear to see that Jose Mourinho’s significant attention towards the Senegalese forward, in itself […]

Joel Matip officially joined Liverpool Football Club last week, after agreeing to a move from his boyhood club Schalke on a free transfer in January. The highly rated ball playing centre-back joins a league rich with defensive talent, and a fan base who know a good defender when they see one; the problem is, they […]
Another season another big name at Liverpool Football Club linked to leave. This time it’s the Brazilian, baby faced assassin, Philippe Coutinho! Liverpool’s player of the year really put himself in the shop window on Wednesday night with a hat trick in the Copa America however rumours of some of Europe’s elite sniffing around him […]
Simon Mignolet has been heavily criticised throughout his time at Liverpool, displaying inconsistency and a distinct lack of confidence leading to defensive errors. The Belgian is far from the calming and influential figures of Petr Cech, David De Gea and Hugo Lloris and with the new signing of Loris Karius, could Jurgen Klopp finally have […]
“Next season is our year.” “We’ll be better next season.” “Just wait until after the summer.” “The push for Champions League is next year.” You’ve heard them all. I’ve heard them all.
