Will Rodgers prevent Liverpool setting all-time unbeaten home record?

April 23rd, 2017. Liverpool 1-2 Crystal Palace. Feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it? At that point, Jurgen Klopp was still only in his first full season as Reds manager and his side hadn't yet played in the Champions League under him. This was still a year before the agony of Kiev, let alone the glorious...

Remembering Liverpool 4-1 Leicester in 2016, amid injury chaos in 2020

Hallelujah, the final international break of 2020 is coming to a close. Whilst manager's will understandably be worried about injuries from the though schedules ahead, football fans can at least look forward to a plethora of club action leading into the new year. Despite that, there has been a fair bit of doom and gloom...

Versatile Oxlade-Chamberlain Could Offer Liverpool Right-Back Solution

Jurgen Klopp loves versatile players. Whether it is James Milner, who can cover midfield or either full-back slot, or Fabinho, who is comfortable at both centre half and defensive midfield, the German places great stock in players who can cover multiple positions. With a bigger list of injuries than an army hospital, Liverpool will need to...

Liverpool assistant manager can’t wait for The Reds to settle in at new training ground

Pep Lijnders says it gives him "great satisfaction" to move to the club's new AXA Training Centre with the current squad. Liverpool's departure from Melwood - their training home for 70 years - has been well-documented in recent weeks. Now, however, Lijnders is only looking forward and to the progress he hopes the club can...

What’s changed since Van Dijk’s injury?

When it was confirmed that Virgil van Dijk’s injury was a serious one, the fear was that the season would be a struggle for Liverpool. Since his arrival from Southampton, he’s practically been ever-present for the Reds. With him as centre-back, Jurgen Klopp’s side have reached two Champions League finals and racked up an...

Liverpool hopeful that duo will be fit to face Leicester City on Sunday

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is holding out hope that both Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson may be fit to face Leicester City on Sunday. On Monday evening, it was confirmed that club captain Henderson was released from international duty with England. Henderson had come off at half time in the Three Lions' 2-0 defeat against...

Liverpool And Their Calculated Defensive Gamble

Gambling, by its very nature, doesn't always come off. There can be no debate that Liverpool -- after the sale of Dejan Lovren to Zenit St Petersburg -- gambled when they didn't sign a centre half last summer. Instead, the Reds pushed the boat out to sign Thiago Alcantara from FC Bayern and planned on using...

Liverpool bids farewell to club legend Ray Clemence

Liverpool goalkeeping legend Ray Clemence passed away at the age of 72 on Sunday as confirmed by his family. Clemence is the most successful goalkeeper in LFC history having played 665 first team games for The Reds over a 13-year period. He won five league titles and three European Cups as Liverpool's number 1. In memory...

Priceless Matip faces career-defining period at Liverpool

When it rains, it pours. Or in Liverpool's case, when it rains, a monsoon arrives. The Reds find themselves in one of the most bleak, unfortunate injury situations in their recent history, following an awful period in the fitness department. When Virgil van Dijk was ruled out for the season with cruciate ligament damage it felt...

How can Liverpool get Robert Firmino firing?

Roberto Firmino looked like the odd man out in attack against Manchester City. In truth, it’s nothing to be embarrassed by really.  After all, most players would have trouble keeping up with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota. The Brazilan has never been blessed with blistering pace, but it was never really an...

Injuries Threaten to Hinder Liverpool’s Title Defence

To call the 2020/21 Premier League season irregular would be a major understatement. For starters, the COVID-19 outbreak seriously impacted everything from fixtures to player availability – and continues to do so. For some clubs, however, that’s not even the full story. Reigning champions Liverpool have had a particularly unfortunate string of injuries hurt them...

Gomez injury will keep him out for most of the season, club confirms

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez will miss "a significant part of the remainder of 2020-21" the club has confirmed. Gomez was injured earlier this week while training with Gareth Southgate's England squad. He has since returned to Liverpool and undergone surgery to repair a damaged tendon in his knee. The club released an official statement on Gomez's...

Liverpool’s New Tactical Shape Offers Opportunity To Lesser Seen Squad Members

Jurgen Klopp sprung a surprise in Liverpool's recent 1-1 draw against Manchester City at The Etihad. After Diogo Jota scored a hat-trick against Atalanta in the Champions League a few days prior to the clash with Pep Guardiola's team, speculation was rife that Klopp may drop Roberto Firmino, one of his key lieutenants, and retain...

Another setback for Liverpool as defender sustains “serious injury” during England training camp

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is the latest Red to suffer an injury this season with the young centre-back reportedly having sustained a "serious" setback at England training camp. Jürgen Klopp and his backroom team will await the results of further tests over the coming days to determine the extent of Gomez's injury. The story broke on...

Jordan Pickford has only got little arms – October 2020, The Month That Was

"He's only got little arms, he's only got little arms" - so has sung the Kop at Jordan Pickford in recent times. Expect the songs about him to become more mean spirited after his actions in the Merseyside Derby. More on that in a bit. October did not begin well, with a penalty shoot-out defeat...

Time for Tsimikas to shine after Trent’s injury?

Another week, another injury for a Liverpool defender. That's how it seems, at least. While the recent 1-1 draw away to Manchester City was a good point to come away from the Etihad with, it certainly came at a price. Local hero Trent Alexander-Arnold pulled up in the second half with a calf problem which early...

Reds say goodbye to Melwood for the final time

Liverpool finally brought the curtain down on the club's time at Melwood over the weekend. The Reds leave their famous training ground after 70 years. When Jürgen Klopp's squad returns after the current international break, they will begin training at Liverpool's new state-of-the-art AXA training centre in Kirkby. LFC published a well-composed page with club staff,...

Tactical Breakdown: Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool

As I have grown up, I have witnessed titanic clashes between footballing behemoths. Games for which the world would stand still for 90 minutes in order to witness the spectacle. In the early noughties, it was Arsenal and Manchester United; then Chelsea and United; Liverpool and Ferguson's side followed briefly, before the rise of...

Jürgen Klopp says he is happy with how Liverpool defended at the Etihad

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp says how his team defended against Manchester City "was really good". The Reds earned a 1-1 draw away to Pep Guardiola's side after Mohamed Salah gave them the lead through an early penalty. Gabriel Jesus then equalised for City before Kevin De Bruyne missed a penalty shortly before half time. The result...

Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match?

The points were shared at the Etihad Stadium as Liverpool and Manchester City played out a 1-1 draw in the final match before we head into another international break. It was probably a fair result with both teams failing to create too many clear-cut chances. City will feel the more disappointed of the two...

Klopp’s post-match update on Trent Alexander-Arnold injury

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp is today waiting on the scan results of the calf injury sustained by right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold on Sunday. Alexander-Arnold went off injured after 63 minutes of The Reds' 1-1 draw at Manchester City in the Premier League. Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool the lead with an early penalty before City's Gabriel Jesus equalised...

Player ratings as Liverpool take a point from the Etihad

The Liverpool fan-base were surprised by Jurgen Klopp as he went for both Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota against Manchester City, the jury remaining out on whether it was the right decision as the Reds drew 1-1 at the Etihad Stadium. Mohamed Salah's penalty got Klopp's men off to the perfect start after Sadio Mane...

City Hold Liverpool At Etihad

Liverpool go into the international break third in the Premier League table after a 1-1 draw with Manchester City at The Etihad. Mohamed Salah's early penalty was cancelled out by Gabriel Jesus' equalizer and the Reds -- who had the fortune of Kevin de Bruyne missing from the spot, albeit from an extremely harshly awarded...

Xherdan Shaqiri Cameos Offer Liverpool Reminder Of His Talents

After missing the vast majority of last season through a succession of niggling calf injuries, Xherdan Shaqiri has given Liverpool a timely reminder of his abilities over the course of the last week. Coming off the bench against Midtjylland and West Ham respectively, the Swiss international was key to the Reds eking out two wins...

Liverpool’s Atalanta Academy Appearances Point To Bright Future

Diogo Jota's hat-trick and Liverpool's overall performance were the main talking points from the Reds' 5-0 hammering of Atalanta last Tuesday. But it shouldn't be lost in the narrative that the English champions featured four homegrown, academy produced players over the course of the 90 minutes in Bergamo. Rhys Williams slotted in comfortably at centre half...

Will this be Liverpool’s starting lineup to face Manchester City in the Premier League this Sunday?

Liverpool travel to the Etihad Stadium this Sunday as they face Manchester City in the biggest game of the Premier League season so far. Jürgen Klopp has some testing decisions to make all over the pitch regarding his starting eleven. Will Joël Matip come straight back in? Does Diogo Jota have to start? If so,...

Liverpool forward proud to level Steven Gerrard’s record

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah equalled club legend Steven Gerrard's record of 21 goals in the Champions League with his strike against Atalanta. The Reds won 5-0 in Bergamo with Diogo Jota grabbing a hat-trick and stealing the headlines for Jürgen Klopp's side. Sadio Mané scored Liverpool's other goal. Salah scored a trademark goal, beating the Atalanta defence...

Tactical Breakdown: Atalanta 0-5 Liverpool

Ultimate test of Van Dijk-less Liverpool arrives at Man City

Can you think of a more high-profile, damaging injury to a Liverpool player than Virgil van Dijk's at Everton? I'm not sure there has ever been one that has had the potential to define an entire season like Van Dijk's, such is his colossal stature at the club. Having had him available throughout almost all of...
