Liverpool's Lallana Experiment Sets Positive Precedent
Jurgen Klopp raised a few eyebrows with his team selection for Liverpool's recent Premier League victory away to Aston Villa.
With Fabinho walking a suspension tightrope ahead of this coming weekend's top of the table clash with Manchester City, the Brazilian sat the game out.
In his stead, most assumed that Jordan Henderson -- who played the number 6 role for two and a half season's under Klopp -- would slot in.

We need to talk about Naby Keita
Naby Keita is the latest in a long line of players to divide opinion at Liverpool. He's a victim of hype others created for him and there's no escaping that. The deal to bring him to Anfield was unique in the sense fans has to wait an entire year to see him turn out for the club.

Liverpool's midfielders: Why can't there be a middle ground?
Liverpool's midfield options have so often been lacking, but that has now changed.
There have been times during the respective reigns of every Reds manager during the Premier League era when depth in the middle of the park has been a serious issue.
