Alright, so two caveats before we even get into this debate. The first is that rotation means Mane will get less game time than he might have otherwise in the next few weeks anyway. So this isn’t so much a: ‘should Mane play in X or Y game specifically’, but more of a ‘should...
Since Liverpool stopped ruling English football in 1990, there are many reasons why a return to the summit of the game has continued to evade them.
There have been dreadful signings, bemusing managerial appointments, unprofessional squads and rivals spending vast chunks of money, among many others factors.
One of the Reds' greatest Achilles heels has been...
Liverpool fans love a moan whether it be over the lack of a true centre-forward in the side, a midfield lacking in goals and defensive solidity, a back-four that’s an accident waiting to happen or Klopp’s rotation policy amid a rigorous fixture schedule.
However, the strongest degree of scrutiny from supporters seems to stem from...
"We’re defending really well at the moment, we’ve been solid.” – Simon Mignolet, 20th December 2017.
Hubris: noun – excessive pride or self-confidence. – the Oxford English Dictionary
Simon Mignolet played his 199th game for Liverpool on Friday at the Emirates Stadium and was largely responsible for the Gunners securing a draw when Liverpool were coasting...
Liverpool were in total control. And then they weren’t. And then they salvaged a point. An absolutely bonkers game and statistically it’s hard to look at games like this. But nevertheless, here are my statistical highlights from Liverpool 3-3 Arsenal.

Well, what a start to the festive period for the neutral! For Liverpool, it was a game they controlled for 85 minutes out of 90, but they conceded three goals in the five minutes that they didn't. Philippe Coutinho and Mo Salah gave Liverpool what looked like a match-winning 2-0 lead, only or it...
An emphatic statement saw Liverpool return to the top four at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday, and with it came some satisfaction for Jürgen Klopp, in the face of criticism for a maligned “rotation policy”.
The sentimentality that clouded fans’ perception of the 1-1 draw against Everton and the subsequent misfiring at Anfield a few...
This is the eighth and final instalment of our Souness Years series, looking behind-the-scenes of what went on at Liverpool during the Souness era of the early 90s.

Whilst looking at some of the stats that fell out of Liverpool’s win over Bournemouth, one, in particular, stood out to me – seven out of Liverpool’s nine Premier League wins had been by three goals or more. I quickly realised that our three Champions League group stage wins fit this narrative too, and...
So I thought I’d write this piece as I have the first-hand experience of being in the Away Dressing room in Estadio Do Dragao, having been on a stag do in Porto a few years back and going to the stadium for a day out.
It’s a wonderful modern stadium and I really like what...
