Dominic Solanke was given his first Premier League start in Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Stoke City in midweek, replacing Roberto Firmino upfront as Jurgen Klopp shook his side up to contend with an increasingly gruelling fixture list and it proved to be a chance well taken from the former-Chelsea man.
Deployed through the middle, Solanke...
There are times when supporting this team can be a chore.
I doubt there is a fan base in the world that has quite so much internal bickering than ours. The whole #lfcfamily hashtag is magnificent of irony, unless, of course, its creation is to illustrate how much families fight over the smallest thing.
Yesterday afternoon...
With six wins and two draws by a combined score of 25-6, Liverpool supporters can safely close the chapter on a poor run of form that ran through late September and October.
Fervent Firmino fans have joined satisfied Salah supporters in whipping out all of the stats and rubbing it in the face of anyone...
Liverpool vs Brighton – The Key Stats
The Reds won 5-1 on the South Coast to move 4th in the Premier League, but which stats (or sets of stats), stood out for me?
Coutinho Samba
Whilst Coutinho’s two main stats in this game speak for themselves – one goal and three assists – his underlying stats are...
As Liverpool's fixture list becomes increasingly congested with the Reds facing the prospect of a game every three days or so, the time is right to ask whether Liverpool can compete on both domestic and European fronts.

Despite Liverpool actually doing fairly well this season, some of the negativity surrounding the team would make you think they are in Everton’s current plight.
It hasn’t been a memorable campaign so far, and some nights have been ruined by poor displays and late capitulations, but just one defeat in 13 matches suggests the Reds...
I've criticised Jurgen Klopp quite often this season, in all honesty.
I like the guy, I think he's pretty much everything I want in terms of how I'd like a Liverpool manager to act and conduct himself, he 'gets it'.
Part of that, is probably what makes me criticise him more than I should. I want...
Liverpool recorded back to back wins on the road as the Reds put 5 past a hapless Brighton defence. There were many bright spots on the Reds' side, but below are the major takeaways from the game:
The defence
Illness issues to Gomez meant the already depleted Liverpool defence was weakened even further, so it was...
Liverpool picked up another three points on Saturday afternoon, showing off their flair on the counter-attack to ease past Brighton & Hove Albion with a 5-1 victory.
Here are the player ratings from the match.
Simon Mignolet - 7
Made a crucial point-blank save in the second-half to deny Brighton - an intervention that enabled Liverpool to...
With an 83rd minute Suarez-esque strike that left Stoke’s centre-backs with heads in hands, Mo Salah broke through yet another barrier for Liverpool. This mark though might have gone unnoticed amongst the Egyptian’s long list of accolades.
More than one-third of the way into the season, the Reds have tallied 28 goals, third most in...
