Liverpool FC Opinion
Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton piled on more Merseyside misery for Liverpool, as they won by two goals at Anfield, their first away derby victory this century. The result displayed some of the impressive work Carlo Ancelotti has done with Everton, and drew upon aspects of the 0-0 draw following the restart, last season. Systems Liverpool utilised […]
To say Liverpool are in a rut would be an understatement. The Reds are in unchartered territory under Jurgen Klopp having lost four consecutive home games. They’re without a Premier League win in February and they’re five points off the top four with just 13 matches remaining. If Everton and Aston Villa win their games […]
Leadership comes in many forms. When you mention the word in the context of Liverpool, several names come to mind. Jordan Henderson, James Milner, and Virgil van Dijk — three of the four members of the first team’s leadership group, along with Georginio Wijnaldum — are all associated with being leaders, whether that’s through their […]
Just when you thought you’d pretty much seen it all this season, the unthinkable happens. Everton’s first win at Anfield since 1999, combined with a hammer blow of an injury to Jordan Henderson and what was, at best, an abject performance saw Liverpool’s season plummet to a new low. This was a fourth straight defeat […]
Liverpool fell to their first Anfield Merseyside derby league defeat to Everton since 1999 after a 2-0 reversal against their neighbours. The loss means the defending champions have now lost four home league games on the spin. Goals from Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurðsson condemned the Reds to defeat after an insipid, lifeless performance from the […]
Nothing lasts forever. It had been 22 years since Everton had won at Anfield. I was less than a month old. And of course it was going to be this season, this god-forsaken, gut-punch season, that the Blues’ drought came to an end. Liverpool fans were united in their incandescence when a quite unfathomable penalty […]
So apparently football really does determine your mood. After an awful run of results for Liverpool, they roared back on Tuesday night, making a formidable RB Leipzig side look as average as a mid-table Premier League side. That weight was instantly lifted, whether it be for Jurgen Klopp, his players or the supporters, as the […]
Liverpool won 2-0 in their round of 16 away tie against RB Leipzig to make them favourites to progress to the quarter-finals. In some ways, Julian Nagelsmann’s side was a welcome opponent, with their expansive, aggressive and calculated-risk based play. Leipzig offered a very different tactical proposition to the majority of Liverpool’s recent opponents, with […]
It’s hard to believe that it has come to this, but Thiago Alcantara is underrated. The summer 2020 signing from FC Bayern has lazily and ridiculously been pigeonholed as a player who slows down Liverpool’s play and whose style of play is incongruous with Jurgen Klopp’s intense style of football. Even a cursory glance at […]
The rumour that Jürgen Klopp had walked burned around social media, after Leicester’s defeat of Liverpool. Klopp’s appearance at Liverpool training, the next morning, dispelled the speculation. However, the brief uncertainty surrounding the German revealed a simple truth: Supporting Jurgen Klopp is Liverpool FC’s highest priority.  2021 has been torrid for the iconic manager. […]
