When Shaqiri first signed for Liverpool, there were plenty of sceptics. After all, this was a player notably lethargic out of possession, disinterested in tracking back and doing his defensive duties. Among those to voice their concerns was Gary Neville, who said that the Swiss international epitomised the unprofessional nature of Stoke City in...
As they followed up a terrific game against Red Star by exploding into life against Cardiff, it once again became clear that Sadio Mané and in particular Mo Salah remain the key cogs in Liverpool’s attacking displays. The two players have seven goals each in all competitions this season, with Salah also notching three...
Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over Cardiff has sparked cause for optimism among its fanbase, not just because it’s the first time Liverpool have put four past an opposition this season – a feat that becomes something of a hobby for Klopp’s team last term.
No, it was also momentous for the full Premier League debut of...
It's hard to think of a Liverpool signing in the last decade that brought as much delight as the capture of Naby Keita.
Luis Suarez is a name that instantly springs to mind, but when he traded Amsterdam for Anfield he wasn’t the world-beater he would go on to become.

Liverpool played some electric football last season. The thrilling ride to the Champions League final is testament to the fact; netting a record-breaking amount of goals on their voyage to Kiev, Jurgen Klopp's side outfought and outclassed opponents across Europe, developing a reputation as one of the most exhilarating attacking sides in the land.

Salah The Catalyst For Big Win
Mo Salah proved once again why he’s Liverpool’s main man as...
Liverpool maintained the 'Fortress' Anfield record after a bit of huff 'n' puff against Cardiff. The game was bereft of excitement for large parts until Liverpool decided to turn it on late in the game.
The key observations from the game:

Prior to the season beginning, I wrote an article on what Liverpool must do to win the Premier League, taking into account things such as goals scored, goals conceded, points won and European form of title winners in the past 10 years.
Another thing I touched on was the first 10 games, with the idea...
Liverpool went three points clear at the top of the Premier League, at least provisionally, as they thumped Cardiff City 4-1 at Anfield. The Reds didn't really have to get out of second gear, once Mo Salah put them in front in the 10th minute. Sadio Mane scored after half-time to put the Reds...
