Observations from Liverpool’s win at Crystal Palace

It was billed as Benteke v Liverpool; the striker’s first game against his former club after his ill-fated move to Anfield lasted just one season. As it transpired, he was nearly as peripheral here as he was for his former club, despite Palace scoring from crosses. Instead, this was a game that emphasised both...

Crystal Palace v Liverpool – Key Battles to watch out for

Selhurst Park has not been a great place for Liverpool to visit recently. Although Liverpool did win there last season, courtesy a late Christian Benteke penalty, it is fair to say that Crystal Palace have been Liverpool's bogey team in the past few seasons. On Saturday, the Reds head to London full of confidence, having dumped Spurs...

Crystal Palace Preview | Lowdown on the Eagles

So, it’s Crystal Palace at the weekend. The Eagles from SE25. Palace are a strange club, or, at least, we have a strange relationship with them.

Philippe Coutinho: Liverpool’s Little Magician, Inter’s Big Regret

Currently considered to be one of European football's premier playmakers, the Seleção's Philippe Coutinho Correia has evolved into everything Liverpool had hoped for when they acquired him from Italian giants Internazionale nearly three years ago.

Observations From Liverpool’s Win Against West Brom

Joint top of the Premier League. It's been a while since Liverpool fans been able to say that but, for 24 hours at least, you're able to say it. A mesmerising display in the first-half was enough to put the Reds top of the table. Yes, the second-half plateaued a little but the damage was...

Nathaniel Clyne: Time to Celebrate Liverpool’s Most Reliable Player

Nobody really grows up dreaming of being a right-back, do they? It is, quite possibly, the least glamorous position in football. The likes Carlos Alberto, Cafu, Philipp Lahm and Dani Alves have done their utmost to make it fashionable, but it has invariably been a role that goes relatively unnoticed, in comparison to goalkeeper, centre-back,...
