There will be attempts to dampen this initially torturous, eventually comfortable victory. Leipzig, it will be said, are the ideal opponents for this one-dimensional iteration of Liverpool. The depleted Reds' prospects of going all the way in the competition will be written off.
However valid those reservations, this win offers supporters a precious feeling of...
Liverpool cruised into the quarter-final of the Champions League after a 2-0 victory over Red Bull Leipzig in Hungary.
Goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane gave the six times winners a deserved victory over the Bundesliga side. Were it not for poor finishing, with Diogo Jota, Mane, and Salah all guilty of blowing big...
Liverpool's have seen several Brazilian players ply their trade at Anfield in recent years.
Lucas Leiva, Fabio Aurelio, Philippe Coutinho, Alisson, Roberto Firmino and Fabinho have all represented both the Reds' and the Selecao in the last decade. The lesser spotted goalkeeping duo of Diego Cavalieri and Doni also donned the famous red and yellow...
Losing and getting beat are two different things entirely. Many things in football are random and this can play a huge part in performances not getting the results they deserve. You can take those losses on the chin, sort of. For example, in some games Liverpool have lost this season, they’ve been the better...
Liverpool ended a run of four consecutive league defeats with a 2-0 away victory at Bramall Lane.
Tactically, they made a few changes, but their performance was mostly in step with recent matches.
Setting up in their native 4-3-3, with the unchanged front three supported by a midfield three of Jones, Wijnaldum and Thiago. In defence...
Jurgen Klopp has tried a number of different things with this Liverpool team over the past month or so, from two false-9s against Spurs, a diamond against West Ham and then whatever that was against Sheffield United. The shape in the latter was a big talking point.Â
On paper, it was a 4-3-3, in practice,...
In many ways, this season has been a trainwreck for Liverpool.
Hampered by a mountainous injury list, mostly concentrated on their central defensive stock, the Reds have relinquished their title to Manchester City without as much as a whimper.
The Anfield team, far from retaining their title, are now primed for a fight for Champions League...
The 433 formation has served Liverpool well over the years.
A feature of this shape has been the use of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah -- the wide forwards that spearhead the Reds' attack -- on their ''wrong'' sides, the left-footed Salah on the right, and the right-footed Mane on the left.
It has been tactically...
Following Liverpool’s 2-0 win at Bramall Lane against Sheffield United, many Liverpool fans took to social media to wax lyrical, yet again, over Curtis Jones. During a season of many lows, the bright light has been his emergence. Against Sheffield, Jones showed that he's ready to stand up and be counted. With superb technique,...
There was much to admire about Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Sheffield United, as the Reds made a welcome return to winning ways.
Adrian, Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak largely did well against a physical Blades attack, while Trent Alexander-Arnold looked somewhere close to his best again.
Gini Wijnaldum and Thiago purred in midfield, the front-three looked...
