It was unnerving watching Liverpool against Derby but not in the way Liverpool fans have come to expect when facing lower league opposition. It was a professional job by the Reds. There weren't many, if any, scares defensively, there was no complacency from anybody in the team and, in the end, it was an...
The Reds, as they so often tend to do, made hard work of what should've been a pretty straight forward situation. A hard fought 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge is something to savour, but had Liverpool maintained their concentration levels throughout it could've, and should've, been much more comfortable and I wouldn't have had...
It was a bigger, mightier Anfield. The Reds lived up to the occasion as 8,000 more people inside Anfield got the opportunity to watch their favourite team in action. The champions were put to the sword with a display of delightful attacking football, which gave Liverpool four goals on the night.
Here are a few...
Three Premier League games now with three different results and three contrasting performances. Liverpool go into the international break with 4 points after a win at Arsenal, a loss at Burnley and a draw at Spurs. Unlike the two previous games Liverpool controlled the tempo of the match and looked dominant. Spurs boss Mauricio...
Jurgen Klopp named an almost first-choice Liverpool XI for the trip to Burton. After the defeat to Burnley it was a chance for the Reds to boost their confidence, build up fitness, familiarise themselves with Klopp's demands and score a few goals ahead of the big game away to Spurs this weekend. It was...
Same shit different season. It wasn't supposed to be like this, a full Jurgen Klopp pre-season was supposed to get the Reds in the right frame of mind to blitz the Premier League. No European distractions and reinforcements arrived in the summer. If there were any positions / areas Klopp wasn't happy with he's...
The Premier League is back with a bang and in typical Liverpool fashion the Reds made their fans sweat on a result when it could've been much more comfortable. You could look at the negatives if you're that way inclined but, for me at least, it was a performance filled with positives and they're...
Liverpool trounced Barcelona, yes... the actual Barcelona, by four goals to nil at Wembley on Saturday evening, and it puzzles me as to why we're not all feeling giddy.
Yes, it's just pre-season, but come on? Four goals against Barcelona. Four goals past a defence protected by the best defensive midfielder in the world. No...
Liverpool ended their Anfield season with a well-deserved point against Chelsea. It had an end of season "nobody can be arsed but we have to play it" feel mixed in with a "we've a Cup final in a week's time and there's no chance I'm risking an injury" mentality. It wasn't one for the...
It was almost the perfect European away leg.
Jurgen Klopp sent his Reds out with a game plan and they were so close to executing it to full effect. It was a disciplined Liverpool side. It wasn't a boxing match like the Dortmund tie were both teams went at it blow for blow. This was...
