Panic at the San Paolo – Napoli 1-0 Liverpool

Panic! Our once vaunted attack leaves Italy with a whimper. The Ribena has run out for James Milner. Naby Keita left the pitch on a stretcher. Trent and Robbo looked gassed from the beginning. And City awaits... First Half All About Naby Each of the other Champions League ties were full of tricks, flips and goals galore....

Player Ratings as Reds are neutralised in Naples

Dreadful, absolutely dreadful. Liverpool's worst performance of the season so far rightfully punished with a late Napoli winner. The Reds were never at the races, with David Ospina not having to make a single save in the home goal. Onto Sunday, where it has to be better. Here are your ratings. Three players come away with credit Alisson...

The Year of the Studge?

When Daniel Sturridge entered the fray on Saturday night, there was a sense of something resembling relief. Even before he scored, the truth was that you felt Liverpool had a better chance of something happening with him on the pitch. That’s always been the impression with Sturridge. Whatever you think of the player, it’s hard...

10 Young Players That Should Be Catching Liverpool’s Eye (Part 1)

Napoli v Liverpool Preview – Key Battles

After two fascinating battles against Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea, Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are back in Champions League action against Sarri's old team, Napoli. The Reds travel to Naples to take on Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo. It promises to be an intriguing battle, and a win would put the Reds firmly in charge of...

Chelsea 1 Liverpool 1: A Tactical Breakdown

First of all, an apology from myself. I'm awfully sorry I haven't been able to discuss perhaps two of the most exciting games of the season - LFC vs. Spurs and LFC vs. PSG, as unfortunately, I have been without WiFi for the past two weeks. To make up for that, this is a...

Alisson Becker – Passing His First Big Test

Daniel Sturridge has rightfully gotten most of the attention after the nail-biting finale of the clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge - what a strike that was. One the best compliments for that shot would be that even Alisson couldn't have saved it. Liverpool's new Brazilian keeper didn't have a whole lot to do...

Mo Salah Doesn’t Care About Being the Best Player in the World, and Neither Should You

London, England - After the events on Monday night at the FIFA best awards, Luka Modric has been named the best men’s player of the year.

Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match For Liverpool?

After a series of glorious opportunities went begging, it was beginning to seem that it would simply not be Liverpool's day at Stamford Bridge, only for Daniel Sturridge to single-handedly stave off the agony of an impending defeat and spark celebrations befitting of a victory. From Eden Hazard's opener onwards, Liverpool were, without doubt, the...

Key Stats As Reds Secure Vital Point – Chelsea 1 Liverpool 1

Liverpool and Chelsea played out one of the best games of football of the season so far in a pulsating 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge. But what were the key stats as the Reds snatched what might be a vital point in the title race? Sturridge Strikes Again Goals are something that elite strikers trade in....

Observations as Liverpool and Chelsea share the spoils

Liverpool, courtesy of a wonder strike from Sturridge late on, rescued a point at the Bridge, a point they deserved considering the display put in. Going by the performance of Chelsea, not many teams would get points at Chelsea, so this could be a big point as the season progresses. The key observations from this...

Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool: Sturridge stonker preserves unbeaten record

Daniel Sturridge scored one of his finest career goals to earn Liverpool a late point at Stamford Bridge. Eden Hazard’s first-half strike had given Chelsea a lead that they preserved with comfort for much of the game, Mohamed Salah and his substitute Xherdan Shaqiri missing the Reds’ most glorious chances before Sturridge struck. Klopp opted to...

Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool – Player Ratings as Daniel Sturridge worldie rescues point

Daniel Sturridge. Daniel Sturridge. Daniel Sturridge. If you're a Liverpool fan, the 1-1 draw against Chelsea should leave you with no other thoughts in your head. What. A. Goal. I'm going to spend my next two days exclusively watching that goal over and over again. If you aren't, I'm judging you. Here's how the rest...

Set Pieces – Fuelling the Reds’ Flying Start

No matter where you are from your local match commentator probably said something like: "Set pieces - Liverpool's long-term Achilles heel" when Eric Lamela scored against the Reds last at Wembley. That line is simply ignorant. Liverpool's set piece defence has been slowly and steadily improving for three seasons now. The same applies for...

Chelsea Cup Defeat Highlights How Far Liverpool Have Come

That winning run wasn't going to last forever, was it? Any Liverpool defeat generally has to be considered disappointing - although some under Roy Hodgson felt like a blessing in disguise - and Wednesday's League Cup loss to Chelsea did sting a little, especially given the nature of it. In the grand scheme of things, it...

Why Liverpool’s Recent Carabao Cup Woes Aren’t Too Worrying

For the second time in consecutive seasons, Liverpool crashed out of the Carabao Cup at the first hurdle as they were beaten 1-2 at home by Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea. Despite putting in a fairly dominant display and having plenty of chances to seal their place in the fourth round, the Reds fell to defeat thanks...

Were the Reds Outplayed by Chelsea or Played out of the Game by VAR Incompetence?

Chelsea put two past Liverpool to send them crashing out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, sealing the deal with a stunner from Eden Hazard. But manager Jürgen Klopp was upset about more than just the result. In the press conference after the match, Klopp decided to take aim at the use of VAR,...

Liverpool’s “Season-Defining” Week

You could be forgiven for thinking, going into what looks to be an absolutely huge week for Liverpool, that this was a season-defining week for Jürgen Klopp and his team. The Reds went into a seven-game period across three weeks with both their Premier League and Champions League ambitions on the line, and so...

Liverpool 1-2 Chelsea: Who was Man of the Match?

As the final whistle sounded to confirm Liverpool's first defeat of the season, fans quickly found consolation. The Reds clearly have bigger fish to fry, not least come Saturday when they will bid for revenge in a much more significant Premier League meeting. Still, though, the match was lost in immensely frustrating fashion as Chelsea...

Player Ratings as Reds are rumbled by Hazard

There’s a point at 1-0 where Sarri sends on Eden Hazard because Chelsea are losing and they’re not finishing above Liverpool in the league anyway. Klopp doesn’t send Salah on because Liverpool are winning and they might finish above Manchester City. One amazing goal later and we’re all moody, get a win on Saturday and it’ll all...

Virgil Van Dijk & Joe Gomez: Liverpool’s Cornerstones?

I for one have been very excited about the form of Liverpool's defence of late, especially the pairing of Joe Gomez and Virgil Van Dijk. This partnership may only be six games into the season, but there's the making of something special forming here. As football fans, we love to compare players to legends that...

Discussion: The Rival Player I’d Have at Liverpool

Personally, I love a hypothetical within the realms of football. They allow one to examine the possibilities and justify why their selection would be viable. Of course, these hypotheticals can border on the edges of insanity, almost irrelevance i.e. Which footballer would be able to the most kick-ups with a live chicken? (probably Leo...

Trent Alexander-Arnold Urgently Needs Bigger Pockets

Almost two years ago to the day, Trent Alexander-Arnold was one of the youngest players on the pitch as he created the opening goal, scored to put his side 4-0 ahead and was booked just before half time for half time in an all-action right-back performance for Liverpool U23 against Tottenham U23. He dominated...

Liverpool v Chelsea Preview – A Night for Rotation at Anfield

Gini Wijnaldum: The Vital Cog in the Machine

When Liverpool signed Georginio Wijnaldum from Newcastle in the Summer of 2016, did anyone really expect him to become Liverpool’s number six during their best start to a season in their history? No, of course, they didn’t. And yet, here we are. What Liverpool fans did believe they were signing was a talented, if not sometimes...

Why it’s a good time to give Mo Salah a rest

The talisman of Liverpool's season last time out has looked a little out of sorts of late. Mo Salah enjoyed a season like no other last term and notched up countless goals, assists and match-winning performances that saw him crowned player of the year. At the start of this season, he has by no means played...

Liverpool 3-0 Southampton: Who Was Man of the Match?

Liverpool have made their best ever start to a Premier League season and, in truth, they have done so at about 50% of their overall capacity. The Reds cruised into a 3-0 first-half lead against the Saints and were able to comfortably see it out after the break. All a likely bored Alisson Becker really...

Observations as Shaqiri Makes a Happy First Impression – Liverpool 3-0 Southampton

Six wins out of six to start the Premier League season. Not bad, eh? Southampton came to Anfield, and Southampton were routinely dispatched. An own goal to start proceedings, a returning centre-back with a fabulous header off a corner from that trusted Scouse right-foot, and then the King of Egypt scoring from a yard out...
