Liverpool away in Europe: Klopp's Achilles heel
All the greats have a weakness - nobody is perfect. You can apply that to any walk of life.
From a footballing perspective, you can look at any all-time legend and pick holes in their genius, whether it be Lionel Messi's curious inconsistency from the penalty spot or Alex Ferguson only winning the Champions League twice in 20-odd attempts.
Jurgen Klopp has grown into one of the most important and influential figures in the history of Liverpool Football Club, inspiring …
When did Liverpool's tactics become so predictable?
I’m sure I’ve written the start of this article about a million times this season – but here we are again.
Another game, another disappointment or so it seems with this Liverpool side that lulled us into a false sense of security with a convincing win over Arsenal last weekend.
Against Real Madrid however, it was a totally different story. A first half horror show saw the Reds fighting an uphill battle for the remaining 135 minutes of the tie, …
Analysis: What went wrong against Real Madrid?
Whenever Liverpool lose, there's always a bit of a scramble for someone to come up with a definitive answer as to why it happened. It doesn't necessarily have to be the right answer, just the first one.
After all, it's easier to process and accept if there's only one issue. We've all heard about how the high defensive line is a problem. The press isn't the same either, with the Reds being a little more standoffish than usual. There have …
"We didn't deserve to win tonight" - Klopp disappointed in poor Reds performance in Madrid
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp admits his side was second-best against Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
First-half goals from Vinícius Júnior and Marco Asensio put the home team 2-0 up at the break after a dreadful Liverpool performance in the first half. The Reds played better in the second half and pulled a goal back through Mohamed Salah after a good move involving Gini Wijnaldum and Diogo Jota. However, Júnior would restore Real Madrid's two-goal …
Real Madrid 3-1 Liverpool: Observations as Vinicius dents improbable dream
Mohamed Salah's away goal means a 2-0 win at Anfield will see Liverpool qualify for the Champions League semifinals. The '2' is feasible but, after a hapless defensive display, the 'nil' less so.
The strong likelihood is that Jurgen Klopp's dark horses will fall at this fence. They were incredibly poor in the first half and passable in the second. This may be a far cry from the Real Madrid that was crowned kings of Europe for three years in …
Lacklustre Liverpool On Champions League Knife Edge After Madrid Defeat
Liverpool's Champions League hopes are on a knife-edge after a 3-1 defeat away to Real Madrid.
The hosts took a 2-0 lead half-time through goals from Vinicius Junior and Marco Asensio in a dominant 45-minute display. The Reds improved in the second period and half the deficit to 2-1 after Mohamed Salah scored, but any hopes of a comeback were quashed when Vinicius completed his brace with a low shot past Alisson.
Overall, the visitors -- who would have been …
Will this be Liverpool's starting lineup to play Real Madrid tonight?
Liverpool and Real Madrid meet tonight in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash in Spain. Who will start for The Reds?
Jürgen Klopp's men will be high on confidence after another impressive win on Saturday night when they beat Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium. Diogo Jota came off the bench to score two second-half goals with Mohamed Salah also on the scoresheet.
Klopp will, of course, be without several first-team players with Virgil van Dijk, Joël …
