Where does Mo Salah sit in the history of Liverpool?

Last season, before a ball had been kicked, Liverpool signed Mohamed Salah for around £36 million from Roma, in a move that was seen as some well-needed reinforcement at the top of the pitch. Coming off the back of Liverpool’s year almost falling off a cliff with the loss of form and Sadio Mane...

Liverpool FC and Big Chances

Big chances are a crucial part of any Premier League team’s season. They help to differentiate the quality of a team. It expands nicely on the basic idea of xG that not all shots are equal. Bobby Firmino’s tap-in from a yard against Spurs was a better quality chance than when Denis Odoi shot...

Can Liverpool Beat Manchester City in the EPL Race?

As Christmas is looming and the first half of the season in EPL is almost done, all the eyes are on Liverpool and Manchester City, the two teams that appear to be destined to finish 1 and 2 on this season’s table. The Manchester side victoriously broke into the season and looked invincible until Chelsea...

A Look at Football Through a Basketball Shaped Lens

Data analytics have come forth in leaps and bounds over the last decade or so, as football clubs around the world seek to gain an advantage in securing titles, promotion and everything in between. Even ‘Big’ Sam Allardyce employed a team of data analysts during his tenure at Bolton Wanderers as a part of...

Key Stats as Salah seals European progression for Liverpool

You've got me on key stats for this one folk, I apologise. I'm not smart, handsome or nuanced as Tom but I'll do my best to leave you interested. I checked with Gags over whether I could do statistics on the percentage of Alisson's hair follicles that are perfectly placed (99.87%) or how many times...

Liverpool soar above Napoli to continue Champions League Run

This was Liverpool. Nail biting, mind boggling Liverpool. A night where their European fate hung in the balance, Jurgen Klopp's side flew to new heights as they soared to a 1-0 win and emerged into the knockout stages of the competition. In truth, this should've been a far healthier scoreline than it was. Sadio Mané missed...

Player ratings as Liverpool upset Ancelotti again

Carlo Ancelotti's rivalry with Liverpool would make a bloody good film, wouldn't it? Istanbul, Athens, his La Decima winning Madrid team at Anfield in 2013, and now Anfield for Liverpool 1-0 Napoli in 2018. A hair raising night, made a brilliant one by a man with the most beautiful head of hair, Alisson Becker. The Reds...

It’s A Two Horse Title Race, Get Used To It

As the full-time whistle blew on Manchester City's first league defeat of the season on Saturday evening, it wasn't just Chelsea fans celebrating. Liverpool fans knew that a Chelsea win would leave the Reds out clear at the top of the Premier League for a week at least, N'Golo Kante and David Luiz providing the...

How well is Jurgen Klopp rotating his Liverpool squad?

No Salah, no Firmino and no Mane. The seven changes Jurgen Klopp made to his starting eleven at Turf Moor raised a considerable number of eyebrows last Wednesday, not least from myself. But subsequently, having collected six points from two potentially tough away fixtures against Burnley and Bournemouth, as part of a gruelling festive...

Top, But Liverpool Have A New Type Of Battle To Face

And with a single swish of a head the whole path of the 2018-2019 season changes course. Not many Reds like David Luiz and with good reason. His two spells at Chelsea, his less than exemplary performance against Germany in the 2014 World Cup and his likeness for winning a dubious free kick means there...

Liverpool v Napoli – Huge Night at Anfield for Klopp’s Redmen

The Details   Venue - Anfield, Liverpool Referee - Damir Skomina (SVN) Date & Time - Tuesday, November 11th 2018 @ 20:00 BST Current Odds - Liverpool 4/7, Draw 7/2, Napoli 15/4 Form Liverpool Form Liverpool's 4-0 win at Bournemouth gave The Reds their best ever start to a league season in the club's 126-year history. That is nothing short of phenomenal. To top it all...

Anfield nights Liverpool won’t want to repeat against Napoli

The stage is set for another famous Anfield night on Tuesday, with Liverpool's Champions League knockout round qualification on the line as they play host to Carlo Ancelotti's Napoli. After some terrible away performances, losing three out of three on the road, Jurgen Klopp's men are in quite a precarious position heading into the group's...

Key Stats As The Salah Show Sees Off Bournemouth

Liverpool went to the top of the Premier League again as they thrashed Bournemouth 4-0, in one of their most composed and impressive performances of the season. But what were the key stats from a hugely important display at the Vitality Stadium? Salah Scores Again And Again…And Again Mo Salah scored his second Liverpool hat-trick, the...

Observations as Liverpool return to scoring form against Bournemouth

Liverpool showed semblances of their best-attacking form from last season, as Liverpool produced an identical scoreline from the corresponding fixture last season, beating Bournemouth 0-4. There were a lot of good moments in the game, and the key observations are as follows... Game 500 for Mr Versatile With Joe Gomez being ruled out for a while due...

Liverpool Top League with Cherry Crush

Waiting for the line-up card to come out has become one of the most suspenseful parts of the Liverpool experience in recent weeks. Most of the anticipation surrounds the season's long wait for Jurgen Klopp to actually field his best eleven, or what the majority of us assume is his best eleven. Injuries to...

Liverpool Player Ratings as Salah sizzles Bournemouth

Mohamed Salah reminds the Premier League exactly what he's all about and the Reds are top of the Premier League, for a few hours at least. Not a bad way to start the weekend. Bournemouth aren't a bad side and the 4-0 scoreline doesn't really reflect the gulf between the two teams, but Liverpool were,...

Joel Matip Must be the Man for Liverpool FC in Gomez’s Absence

With Joe Gomez's fractured leg putting him out of action for six weeks, Jurgen Klopp has got a choice to make. It's not as if there was an attacking injury, with a flurry of names and formations available to the German. Liverpool's lack of centre-back's even rules out the chance of him switching to three...

The Tale of Divock Origi and The Merseyside Derby

The Divock Origi substitution was getting close to the Joël Matip substitution when it comes to things that are almost a parody. Just as bringing Matip on in the 90th minute of any requisite game to shore up a 2-0 win doesn’t really make that much sense, neither does throwing on Divock Origi when you’re...

Naby Keita Offers A Glimpse Into Liverpool’s Future

It has felt like a long wait to see Naby Keita truly announce himself as a Liverpool player, but he’s gone and done it in emphatic fashion. After waiting a year for him to even join the Reds, and then having to sit and endure several months of iffy form and injuries, here he is! At...

Bournemouth v Liverpool Preview – Can Reds pick Cherries off on Saturday?

Key Stats As Liverpool Come From Behind At Turf Moor

Liverpool came from behind to see off Burnley 3-1 at Turf Moor after an absolutely superb second-half recovery. But what were the key stats from a terrific second half display that saw the Reds keep the pace with City and move clear of Chelsea and Arsenal? Naby Keita Explodes Into Life What a player Naby Keita...

Observations as late push secures the points for Liverpool

Liverpool travelled to Burnley in search of a win to stay on the tailcoats of City, who had won a day earlier. The fixture, which Liverpool won last year thanks to a Klavan D'Or, needed a repetition. Liverpool delivered the goods late on to stay in pursuit. The key observations from the game Testing the depth This...

Gomez Injured as Reds Bounce Burnley

I know this is the Burnley match report, but do we really have to stop talking about the derby? Pickford... Origi... man, that was great. Klopp was forced into two changes for mid-week and made a five more just for the hell of it. Moreno and Origi started due to injury worries for Robertson and Mané...

Player Ratings As Much Changed Liverpool Fight Back In Style

Jurgen Klopp made an array of changes for Liverpool's midweek trip to Burnley, with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all out of the starting eleven while Divock Origi was rewarded for his last-gasp winner against Everton at the weekend. Cork's opening goal for the home side put the Reds on the back foot,...

Bringing up a Red

I see them all the time. Supporters of our storied club, who have been bought up in an LFC family right from the beginning. Their father and most of the times, their mother was an LFC supporter. Their grandfather was a season ticket holder and the said ticket has been passed down from father...

Liverpool’s derby win could be pivotal in title race

It was the height of drama, nothing has come close for many years. Divock Origi's 96th-minute winner for Liverpool in the Merseyside derby was as climactic as things get, and keeps Klopp's momentum rolling over as we head into the winter months, where the fixtures come thick and fast. The win keeps the Reds right on...

All Hail The Origi Derby

Moments of prescience are rare in football. Surely there can have been no one in Anfield capable of predicting such a ludicrous outcome in a Merseyside derby, but I believe I was closer than most. With the clock ticking down, the blue smoke gathering in the Anfield Road stand and the Fates about to point their...

Burnley v Liverpool Preview – Can Klopp’s men keep the pressure on City?

In the last five games, Burnley have conceded 12 goals and only scored three of their own. They have lost five...

Origasm at Anfield as the bar plays the star

Finally Fabinho… but that’s not what we’re here to discuss. Undefeated, still on City’s tail and five clear of Chelsea. Suddenly six clear of Arsenal and Tottenham and United are lost in the wilderness but that’s just a side note for now. Mané is miserable. Mo is getting mauled and Firmino is as false as we’ve...

Man of the Match: Fabinho leaves his mark in first Merseyside Derby

An afternoon that threatened to end in frustration turned into one of jubilation when Liverpool's forgotten man Divock Origi turned home the winner following a howler from Jordan Pickford. While it's hugely tempting to give the Belgian man of the match purely for sending Anfield into another Merseyside frenzy as Sadio Mane's 94th-minute derby...
