Back-To-Goal Salah Offers Liverpool New Attacking Dimension

Mohamed Salah is back. After a few weeks of relatively low-key performances while clearly playing through an ankle injury, the Egyptian has burst back into form and has netted goals in games versus Watford (x2), Bournemouth and Red Bull Salzburg. The most striking feature of Salah's game in recent weeks, though, is how well the forward...

What if… Liverpool hadn’t signed Divock Origi?

‘It’s Saturday night and I like the way you move, Divock Origi,’ chants the Kop as the loveable Belgian forward comes on the 84th minute for Roberto Firmino in a last-ditch attempt to get one up on local rivals Everton yet again.

Mohamed Salah and His Right Foot

Mohamed Salah is a goalscorer supreme, he’s explosively quick and he’s creatively a force of nature. But he doesn’t have a right foot.  To begin with, it wasn’t a problem. Teams couldn’t deal with the curly-haired, fleet-footed Egyptian and he’d find a way to wriggle back onto his favoured left foot when it mattered most....

The Danger Men for Flamengo

It wasn’t pretty but Liverpool did enough to see off Monterrey and set up a Club World Cup final clash with Flamengo. The Brazilians have enjoyed a successful year under former Benfica manager Jorge Jesus and victory on Saturday would see them complete a unique treble having already claimed the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A...

Monterrey 1-2 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match?

Liverpool progress to the final of the Club World Cup after a far from convincing 2-1 win over Monterrey. The Reds left it late once again, but Roberto Firmino’s injury-time goal was enough to clinch the victory following Naby Keita’s opener and Funes Mori’s leveller. The team selected to start the game was unorthodox,...

Firmino Fires Liverpool Into World Final

A late goal from substitute Roberto Firmino sealed Liverpool's passage to Saturday's Club World Cup final in the Reds' 2-1 win over Monterrey of Mexico.
