New Season, Same Reds: Liverpool 7 - 0 Chester FC

WILSON vs OJO
Jurgen Klopp blamed a slow start on his usual nemesis, the dry pitch. The only first-half fireworks came from the foot of Harry Wilson, playing on the right wing. He put away two before the …
Prioritising the Market - Analysing Liverpool FC's Weaknesses
So there’s a consensus amongst Liverpool fans about which positions the club will look to – and must – strengthen this season. The five positions that need to be addressed – or at least considered – this summer were: goalkeeper, centre-back, defensive-midfield, attacking-midfield and back-up winger.

Nabil Fekir: The Perfect Fourth Man?
Liverpool are on the march to Kiev.
Amidst the blitzkrieg of goals, celebrations and stunning attacking tsunamis, however, is quite the stark realisation. Liverpool got to the Champions League final off the back of a scintillating, devastating, and unparalleled front three, with a lion tamer of a manager orchestrating their rise to potential infamy.
But there needs to be a fourth.
Phil Coutinho once rounded out the quartet, and the signing of Mohamed Salah was an excellent one solely for …
Observations as weary Reds lose at Stamford Bridge
Liverpool's extraordinary Champions League run has been truly unforgettable, but their recent Premier League exploits have been anything but.
After a turbulent Wednesday night at the Stadio Olimpico, the emotionally and physically fatigued Reds subjected their supporters to a different kind of torment over the course of a turgid 90 minutes against top-four rivals Chelsea.
