Eyes were widened and surprise stated as Liverpool’s lineup for the Leicester City game was confirmed, with Jurgen Klopp abandoning his usual 4-3-2-1 system since joining the Reds and matching up to the Foxes in a tactical sense with a 4-4-2. Pre-game (and, for some unfortunate watchers, in-game) chatter was about how Klopp was affording...

From the moment Jean-Marc Bosman won his case which allowed players to move to clubs in different countries football has been ruled by the players. Players and agents collude with one another looking for that one big payday and it often means their current clubs either lose the player on a free transfer, have to...

Taking down the Premier League’s high-flying leaders is no easy feat; Liverpool coming off a winless three game streak never helped the build up to the game either. The talks of the Riyad Mahrez-Jamie Vardy combo ripping through the Reds flooded social media after what a Troy Deeney-Idion Ighalo partnership did in Watford's 3-0 win...

Many have stated that Liverpool victory over Leicester City was down to the Foxes having a bad day at the office. I happen to disagree, Liverpool's pressing on the day was very impressive and the illustrations below will help explaining exactly how Liverpool went about their stifling Leicester at Anfield on Boxing Day. The images...

There have been many shouts for Liverpool to make a big dip into the January transfer window and pull out some real quality during Jurgen Klopp’s first attempt to strengthen the team.  Several positions have been cited as “needed” in the immediate future, with a right-sided centre-back on the list for quite some time. But...

Liverpool's three game run without a win was finally halted as Christian Benteke's goal gave the Reds a 1-0 win over the league leaders Leicester City. In truth, the scoreline could have been much more overwhelming in our favour, but our profligacy in front of goal meant that there were a few nails being bitten...

A far better performance from Liverpool ensured that they took all three points on a windy day at Anfield, becoming the first team to keep Leicester from scoring and condemning the foxes to only their second defeat this season. Sunderland await the Redmen next as the fixtures come in one after the other. Simon Mignolet...

I'm an advocate of changing the Premier League schedule so clubs have a mini winter break. I think it'll benefit the clubs in Europe and it'll benefit the league in the long term as you won't be blitzing the players and having them play in something silly like a game every 3 days...but, at...

The great American poet, Eminem, once said in his sweeping, modernist, self-biopic poem song, “Lose Yourself”: “Snap back to reality, oh, there goes gravity,” And for many Liverpool fans, that’s where we find ourselves this week. After floating in the ethereal clouds of what-could-be, following epic wins versus Chelsea, Man City and Southampton, we're now plummeting...

Had some feedback recently on AI that articles should be more positive, well after last weekend's exploits being positive is going to be very difficult, after what can only be described as a turgid, error ridden team performance by the team, where in my opinion nobody wearing red came out with any credit. Trying to...
