Liverpool FC Opinion

Enjoying a Different Type of Liverpool

Well, this is bizarre. Not since the days of Rafa Benitez has Liverpool’s fanbase, as a collective, been able to relax. No, not when Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren compounded previously inflicted wounds, very visible wounds that kept on bleeding. Calling the 2014/15-era Glen Johnson a liability would be a compliment, Lucas Leiva’s personal hobby of...

Liverpool’s start to the season couldn’t be much better

With Liverpool sitting level on points with Man City at the top of the table, point for point, Liverpool’s start has been pretty impressive. If there is any cause for concern after a ridiculously difficult opening set of fixtures (including Champions League games), it is probably misplaced at this stage. A need for perspective That said, there is...

Liverpool’s Record-Breaking Defence Still Being Underrated

It's late October and Liverpool have conceded three goals in the Premier League. Three! This was something that felt impossible almost a year ago to the day, as Dejan Lovren and Simon Mignolet were gifting Tottenham a 4-1 win. The Reds' defence looked irreparable and Jurgen Klopp found himself at the lowest point of his Anfield...

Mo Salah’s muted celebration smacks of ambition not of discord at Anfield

Mohamed Salah’s muted goal celebration on Wednesday night came as a surprise to many. The Egyptian forward’s reaction has already become a key talking point following Liverpool’s convincing 4-0 victory over Red Star Belgrade. Jürgen Klopp, calm and jovial as ever in front of the cameras, was quick to shrug off the possibility of there...

Liverpool 4-0 Red Star: Who was man of the match?

After nervously scraping past Huddersfield at the weekend, a reinvigorated Liverpool were able to turn on in the style in a convincing, thoroughly enjoyable 4-0 win against the largely helpless Red Star. The Reds were slow out of the blocks, but as soon as Roberto Firmino fired home the opener they began to ooze confidence,...

Balance The Key Issue For Defensive-Minded Reds

Right now, Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp are in really good shape. They’re playing largely well, they look incredibly defensively solid, they’ve got strength in depth, quality across the pitch and most importantly, they’re winning football matches. But that’s not to say that there aren’t issues. Liverpool aren’t quite firing on all cylinders in an attacking...

Liverpool’s “Crisis”

Liverpool have not been playing very well lately. The Reds have managed to grind out results and have gotten lucky a number of times over the last few weeks. A Daniel Sturridge wonder goal, Riyad Mahrez shooting for the stars over the Anfield Road end and the woodwork against Huddersfield complete a series of...

Naby Keita is key to Liverpool’s evolution going forward

Livepool's midfield is holding us back. Our defence is looking as solid as it has done in years and we possess one of the most feared attacks in Europe but with a midfield that lacks any sort of dynamism or creativity, the Reds will struggle to evolve into genuine title challengers. It goes without...

Key Stats as Reds Keep On Trucking Against Huddersfield

Liverpool were far from their best, but once again they got the result, as they secured a 1-0 win away at Huddersfield. But with the Reds’ unbeaten start stretching to nine games, what were the key stats from another crucial result? Defence Bends But Doesn’t Break This was arguably one of Liverpool’s worst defensive performances of...

Huddersfield 0-1 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match?

Liverpool have equalled their best-ever start to a Premier League season but the increasingly frustrating wait for the Reds to come alive goes on. Mohamed Salah's tidy finish on 24 minutes should have set the visitors on their way to a comfortable victory, but fans would spend the final portion of the game longing for...
