V for Van Dijk: One Man’s Stand Against the Establishment

TURF MOOR, Burnley: The game poised at one all after the Clarets took an early lead. Liverpool have earned themselves a freekick in an odd position. Too far out to shoot, too close to the centre of the pitch to fire in a cross with any true potential for damage. Or so one would...

Andy Robertson Already Top of Liverpool’s Left-Back Pile

There's something romantic about looking back at the past and overrating things. We all do it, whether it's relating to sport, music, film or anything else you wish to be interested in. It is particularly prevalent when it comes to football, and especially Liverpool supporters, who love nothing more than harping back to the good old...

Xherdan Shaqiri – Is His Form Sustainable?

Xherdan Shaqiri has been somewhat of a hit amongst Liverpool fans, and it’s easy to see why. His two goals off the bench against Manchester United earned him a spot in LFC folklore and earned a player who has consistently received plaudits, well... even more, plaudits. Shaqiri has very much been an impact player for...

Wolves 0-2 Liverpool: Who was man of the match?

Player Ratings as Reds ride Molineux challenge

Midfield Conundrum No More, For Liverpool

Much of the debate surrounding Liverpool during the early stages of the season fixated on the midfield picture. Why was it not clicking? Why were the players bereft of any drive? Where was the ingenuity and freneticism of last season? For all the depth in the middle of the park, no-one could offer what...

Fabinho is fast proving to be the future of Liverpool’s midfield

Do Liverpool need a Christmas Caulker?

To a casual observer, Steven Caulker's six-month loan move to Liverpool in January 2016 represented the most bizarre of transfers.
