Six games into Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool reign and it feels like I am supporting a different Liverpool. The same group of players have been transformed from underperforming disappointments to a versatile squad with competition in key positions. Klopp’s reds now have three victories on the bounce, including a very sweet and very comprehensive win...
Spatial awareness is defined as "the ability to be aware of oneself in space".
Positional awareness is defined as "the understanding of positions of objects within an environment".
For me a player can have all the ability with a ball at their feet, but to become truly elite, they must have excellent positional and spatial awareness.

Alberto Moreno or 'Albie' as he's lovingly known, is fast becoming a fan favourite at Liverpool football club. A player who in his own words started the season with an "inner rage", due to not being given a fair opportunity to play; has taken his chance with both hands and is flourishing under Jürgen...
Liverpool stretched their unbeaten run to twelve games with victory against FC Rubin (Rubin Kazan to you and I). It's the third successive win for the Reds under Jurgen Klopp and leaves them in a good position to qualify from their Europa League group.
Klopp made his intentions clear by flying a strong side out...
"My one regret in life is that I am not someone else."
Woody Allen
All of us know the irksome sting of regret. How many times have you, dear reader, walked away from a verbal confrontation, thwarted by your own inarticulacy, only to be imbued later with what the French call l'esprit de l'escalier - staircase...

"You're in pretty good shape, for the shape that you are in."
Dr. Seuss
An unusual thing can happen when one is confronted with the disquietingly fragile nature of one's own mortality. Instead of becoming maudlin and resentful of the unseen forces threatening to extinguish life, sometimes the reaction...
Liverpool’s lack of goals, both this season and last, have become something of a concern. So far this season, before victory against Chelsea this past weekend, Liverpool had scored more than one goal in a Premier League match on only one occasion, against a woeful Aston Villa side. A tally of just 52 goals...
You all know, I'm no advocate of Brendan Rodgers. There are have been several articles and podcasts that I've been on where I've slated, bemoaned, and even be-damned our former manager.
But, if we're honest with one another, we wouldn't be in this current position without him.
Going back a little, we were a club that...

60% possession. 20% conversion. 100% killed-it.
The Heavy Metal Juggernaut has arrived.
If people thought Klopp was going to iron-out the creases, then they’ve got more than they bargained for. He bulldozed them.
This was a...
The title is not misleading; Liverpool dismantled Chelsea. Jurgen Klopp had a gameplan and executed it to perfection.
I would be lying if I said I was shocked at Liverpool truly putting Chelsea to the sword.
I have been confident about it this week and, had Christian Benteke been fit enough to start, people may have been...
