Editor's note: This article was written prior to Liverpool's win against Manchester City at Etihad on Saturday
I've always believed that the competitive games are won and lost, by the battle in midfield. It's the area of a team so influential to the style, tempo, control and competitiveness of a team. A good midfield will...
Delicate. Intricate. Profligate. Manchester City's candy-cane tower has come crumbling down.
Forget City's Soufflé-style of calculated luxury: we've entered Jürgen's Black Forest Gateau of Mayhem.
High-class pomp has been decimated by working-class passion as the Moneyball-marauding FSG out-bought City's billions in all areas.
On sponsors alone, Liverpool's Subway, Gatorade and Dunkin' Donuts deals dwarf against the likes of City's Nike, Aabar and Etihad...
Resounding. Frightful. Adjectives you don't usually see used for an away side at the Etihad in a positive manner. Liverpool bucked the trend.
I have seen many compare the mauling of Manchester City to the dismantling of Chelsea a few weeks back. On the surface of course there are similarities. Liverpool turn up in somebody...

Amidst all the delirium, the chaotic and synergetic euphoria of having Jürgen Klopp traipse around the halls of Melwood in his Liverbird encrusted tracksuit, the bitter disappointment of his first home loss to Crystal Palace brought a lot of the Reds' faithful down to earth, for a brief...

And yet, it might be ideal - as expectations will be low, some of the Reds' key players have had time to rest and train,...
Anger, bitterness, sadness. Just three emotions that greeted the majority of fans when it was announced that our beloved Mamadou Sakho would be out for around eight weeks, ruling the Frenchman out until the new year. However, these were only mild emotions, when compared to those when the fanbase realised who will most likely...
It feels odd for me to write this but Jurgen Klopp's appointment as Liverpool manager wasn't welcomed by everybody. Some fans still felt Brendan Rodgers had it in him to turn it around. The media and pundits, well they didn't welcome a foreign coach replacing a 'bright, young, British talent" at a historically big...

Favouritism, in this politically correct world obsessed with always presenting a veneer of egalitarianism, can be a bit of a dirty word....
Jordan Henderson's impending return has been greeted with open arms by a large part of the Liverpool fan base. The captain has been missing since the 1-0 victory against Bournemouth way back in the second match of the season and during his extended absence his importance to the team has grown by the week....
