Dejan Lovren, sprouts and the art of debate

"All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others." - Douglas Adams. "Never be so cliché as to start a piece of writing with a quote." - My father. Sorry, Dad. The definition of a 'good' football player varies based on what level...

The Bizarre Case of Jordan Henderson’s Daft Sending Off

If you could name one player at one point in the history of Liverpool whose sending off would produce the most hysterical reaction, Jordan Henderson in 2018 would be right at the top of the list. The Reds skipper was shown his marching orders for a stupid second yellow card at Watford on Saturday, leading...

Paris Saint Germain v Liverpool Preview – Reds go in search of first win in Paris

The Details   Venue - Parc des Princes, Paris Referee - Szymon Marciniak (POL) Date & Time - Wednesday, November 28th 2018 @ 20:00 BST Current Odds -  PSG 23/20, Draw 3/1, Liverpool 11/5 Form PSG Form Paris Saint Germain have been getting their results lately with solid performances. The highlight of their recent spell was the 4-0 win at the home of Thierry Henry's hapless Monaco...

Five Strikers That Would Suit Liverpool

It seems clear that Jürgen Klopp has a plan. In the last six to twelve months, Liverpool have toyed with a 4-2-3-1 system – the kind that the German used at Dortmund regularly. With the midfield stagnating in the 4-3-3 and Liverpool’s dazzling forwards looking starved of creativity, it makes sense to withdraw Roberto Firmino...

Jurgen Klopp & The Price For Style

There is no correct way to play football no matter how much we may hear the phrase “Play the right way” across the media. The uber-pragmatic style which epitomized the mid-noughties could not be further from the pressing dominant, possession styles of the modern era. Both Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp employ styles which don’t...

Observations as Liverpool Continue to put the Pressure on Man City

Liverpool surged to a 3-0 win against Watford courtesy of a strong second-half performance at Vicarage Road. The fine margins of football could’ve made it a very different result had the home side gained a penalty when the scores were level after Robertson appeared to bring down Will Hughes, but a growing telepathy between...

Key Stats As Reds Make It 33 points from 13 games

Liverpool turned in another solid away performance as they won 3-0 away at Watford. But what were the key stats from a tricky win at Vicarage Road, in which the Reds toiled for long spells but came good in the end? Clinical Reds Rely on Salah Again This was another far from vintage attacking performance...

Watford 0 Liverpool 3 – Reds keep pace with City

Three second-half goals saw a rampant Liverpool keep pace with League leaders Manchester City at the top of the Premier League following a tough encounter at Vicarage Road. Jurgen Klopp rang the changes once more with Dejan Lovren coming in for Joe Gomez, who reported an ankle niggle in training following his exploits in the...

Watford 0-3 Liverpool – Player Ratings as Reds see off plucky Hornets

Liverpool huffed and puffed in the first half, but they eventually beat Watford 3-0 at Vicarage Road to start off a big week in the most ideal way they could. Mo Salah opened the scoring in the 67th minute, and that opened the floodgates. A stunning free-kick from Trent Alexander-Arnold doubled the Reds' lead, before...

Watford v Liverpool Preview – Key Battles To Look Out For

The international break is over, and it's now time for Liverpool to head into the busiest and most crucial spell of the season. It begins with a trip to Vicarage Road to face Watford, who have been one of the surprise packages of the league this season. For once, the Reds didn't have too many...

PSG Test A Huge Opportunity For Liverpool

Liverpool’s away European form under Jürgen Klopp has been incredibly bang or bust. For every 5-0 win in Portugal there’s a 2-0 defeat in Belgrade. Whilst some of the best performances of Klopp’s tenure have been away from home in Europe, some of the worst have also come there. So far this season, the Reds...

Mane takes the money: Reaction to Sadio’s new deal

Just as we were all drifting off into a Thursday night daze, social media started buzzing with the news of Sadio Mane bringing an end to all the chatter about his contract situation by signing a new one. The Reds' wing wizard has put pen to paper on a brand spanking new deal that takes...

Shaqiri can emulate past ‘risks’ Sturridge and Coutinho

On current form, Xherdan Shaqiri is Liverpool's most in-form attacking player. The Swiss is yet to put a foot wrong for the Reds despite struggling to earn regular playing time, while his performances for Switzerland have been outstanding. He produced a match-winning display in his country's shock 5-2 win over Belgium on Sunday night, and has...

Watford v Liverpool Preview – Any win will do

The Details Venue - Vicarage Road, Watford Referee - Jonathan Moss Date & Time - Saturday, November 24th @ 15:00 Current Odds - Watford 11/2, Draw 16/5, Liverpool 1/2 Form Watford Form Javi Gracia and his Watford team have enjoyed a good start to this season with 6 wins from their first 12 league games. They are currently 7th in the table, ahead of Manchester...

Appreciating Liverpool’s Future Captain

Remember when people said that £75 million was an exorbitant fee? Liverpool have gone from a notoriously shaky defence, one which is able to instil fear into even the most resilient of Liverpool fans when they conceded a corner, to one which instils fear into event the sharpest of strikers. And a lot of Liverpool’s surge...

Liverpool and the International Break: A Diary Of Nothing

Two weeks without a Liverpool game. Two whole weeks. It’s Day 8 and I’m really struggling. International breaks can be a necessary evil—you have to qualify for the World Cup or European Championship after all and those games have to be played at some point—but do we really have to have so many? What are we meant...

What Next for Divock Origi?

Liverpool have added quality in depth over the last season or two, making strides in their bid to turn into genuine Premier League title challengers. The arrivals of Naby Keita and Fabinho in the summer reflect the increasing desire of FSG to put their money where their mouth is, with the owners clearly seeing...

Can Liverpool top the table by January 1st?

With eight more fixtures to go before the new year, Liverpool currently sit in second place in the Premier League, two points behind Manchester City. We’re one of three teams still unbeaten after the first dozen games – Pep Guardiola’s side have only dropped four points whilst Chelsea have won eight and drawn four of...

Liverpool’s Progression Embodied By Those Left Behind

Liverpool have made undoubted progress over the last few years. From a team ridiculed for their defensive mishaps, often succumbing strong leads due to individual errors and a lack of authority, to one able to ride out tight 1-0 advantages with relative comfort, Jurgen Klopp has transformed the very foundations that made a hunt...

Liverpool’s Next Five Away Fixtures Could Define Their Season

With the international break thankfully almost at an end, attention starts turning back to the Premier League, and for Liverpool, that means a tricky away trip to Watford in their first game back. Jürgen Klopp has never hidden his disdain for international football, in particular, the Nations League, and so will be glad to have...

Klopp’s Kryptonite: His Own Stubbornness

Jurgen Klopp’s track record in regard to transfers speaks for itself. All of his transfers have been an unmitigated success (Loris Karius’ decline in the eyes of the football world can be put down to one terrible night at the office). The German's stubborn nature when identifying specific targets, whilst frustrating for fans and...

Have Liverpool Found Their Coutinho Replacement?

Disclaimer: no, Xherdan Shaqiri is not Phil Coutinho. However, it is rather satisfying seeing a new “Fab Four” strut their stuff. Much was made of Jürgen Klopp’s sanctioning of the sale of Phil Coutinho to Barcelona – he was integral to the precursory group stage that led to the Champions League final – and was affably...

Understated Fabinho Growing Into The Liverpool Shirt

Watching a game back is something I would urge any Liverpool supporter to do. Once you take the in-the-moment emotion out of it, dissecting the match with a more measured mind, you see things you missed, appreciate individuals more and may even realise that you have overrated the performance of others. On the first watch on...

Brexit Babes Boom in Value as January Approaches

Brexit!  And you thought you would be able to avoid politics in the warm, comfortable cocoon that is Premier League football.  Any small nudge to the freedom of movement principle could have a nuclear bomb sized impact on England’s top division.  Liverpool start a maximum of 5 UK born players for any given match...

Liverpool 2-0 Fulham: A Tactical Breakdown

After a horrible performance against Red Star Belgrade, Liverpool fans needed some catharsis. With Fulham on a five-match losing streak and due to play at Anfield, a win was the expectation. To deliver the win though, Klopp set Liverpool up with the 4-2-3-1 system, with Salah as the striker, Firmino at 10, and Shaqiri out...

If Henderson is the Solution, Then What is the Problem?

In the discussion about how Liverpool overcome the sterility in midfield that has affected performances over the course of the season and specifically in Belgrade, many have offered Jordan Henderson as the solution. Melissa Reddy brilliantly diagnosed Liverpool's problems. In elaborating a point on “midfield balance" she makes the following key points: Liverpool plays predictable football,...

The Story of a Minute: Liverpool 2 Fulham 0

Columnists and pundits rely on controversy. To them it is the lifeblood of half-time intervals and empty pages, awaiting words both spoken and printed. A handball, an offside, a disallowed goal. All meat and drink if the game is fairly run of the mill and you’ve nothing to talk about. This extends to this page. I’m...

Xherdan Shaqiri: £13 million of ever-growing importance

When Liverpool secured the services of 'The Alpine Messi', Xherdan Shaqiri, during the summer transfer window, his arrival on Merseyside was greeted with a mixture of scepticism and optimism. A player who has been a bit of nearly man for the duration of his career after spells with Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, before establishing...

Observations as Liverpool mark best ever tally from opening 12 games

Liverpool marched to a relatively routine 2-0 win against a labouring Fulham, regaining their spot at the top of the Premier League table with goals from Mohamed Salah and Xherdan Shaqiri. Once again, this wasn't a vintage performance from Klopp's side, with questions remaining about how the manager gets the very best out of his...

Liverpool 2-0 Fulham: Who was man of the match?

It wasn't the rout many would have hoped for given Fulham's near-historic defensive woes, but after the horrors of their trip to Belgrade, victory still brought sweet relief. In truth, Liverpool were happy to cruise into the international break once Mohamed Salah had fired them in front shortly before half-time, with Xherdan Shaqiri's subsequent strike...
