With eight more fixtures to go before the new year, Liverpool currently sit in second place in the Premier League, two points behind Manchester City.
We’re one of three teams still unbeaten after the first dozen games – Pep Guardiola’s side have only dropped four points whilst Chelsea have won eight and drawn four of...
Liverpool have made undoubted progress over the last few years. From a team ridiculed for their defensive mishaps, often succumbing strong leads due to individual errors and a lack of authority, to one able to ride out tight 1-0 advantages with relative comfort, Jurgen Klopp has transformed the very foundations that made a hunt...
With the international break thankfully almost at an end, attention starts turning back to the Premier League, and for Liverpool, that means a tricky away trip to Watford in their first game back.
Jürgen Klopp has never hidden his disdain for international football, in particular, the Nations League, and so will be glad to have...
Jurgen Klopp’s track record in regard to transfers speaks for itself.

On the first watch on...
Brexit! And you thought you would be able to avoid politics in the warm, comfortable cocoon that is Premier League football.

Melissa Reddy brilliantly diagnosed Liverpool's problems. In elaborating a point on “midfield balance" she makes the following key points:
Liverpool plays predictable football,...
Columnists and pundits rely on controversy.
To them it is the lifeblood of half-time intervals and empty pages, awaiting words both spoken and printed. A handball, an offside, a disallowed goal. All meat and drink if the game is fairly run of the mill and you’ve nothing to talk about.
