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?

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...

Key Stats From Divock Origi’s Comeback Tour

Liverpool’s forgotten man Divock Origi was the hero as Liverpool secured a late, dramatic, and frantic 1-0 win over Merseyside rivals Everton to keep the pressure on Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. But what were the key stats from a huge result at Anfield? Can You Smell What Divock Is Cooking? Divock...

Observations as Liverpool Find A Way Past The Ev

Liverpool scored a bizarre, 96th-minute winner to see off Everton in a Merseyside Derby that brought the drama in spades. It was an absolutely incredible finish to a game that was not lacking in quality, with both teams missing chances and providing tempo and energy, and it was somewhat fitting that it was Divock...

Why Klopp needs to put the leash back on James Milner

James Milner's long and impressive career has had many strings attached to its bow, the latest coming as part of an ever-growing Liverpool team. Whilst many have fairly questioned the decision to bring him in on such large wages in 2015, he's done more than enough to prove his worth to the squad - albeit...

Patience – Naby Keita Will Be Worth The Wait

Twice in two pre-match interviews, Jürgen Klopp spoke about Naby Keita and reinforced the idea that he sees Keita as a long-term project, and a player who has a fantastic future at Liverpool. The positive side of that is, of course, Klopp remains invested in Keita as a player – which is to be...

The Jurgen Klopp Game of Player Poker

Last summer, when the club had a bid of £66 million for Naby Keita turned down, Jurgen Klopp jokingly likened the transfer market to the game of poker. But all jokes aside, judging by the way he has handled his dealings since then, be they transfers of new players, rotation or player management, the...

Rafa Benitez Still Channeling Spirit of Istanbul

Three game weeks ago, Newcastle were on just 3 points from 10 games, 19th place in the Premier League, yet to win a league game, and only avoiding being rock bottom because of the absolutely dire form of fellow strugglers Huddersfield, who they were only above on goal difference. And yet, even with their own...

Liverpool v Everton Preview – Derby-day disappointment, but for who?

PSG 2-1 Liverpool: What went wrong?

It may be Liverpool's fourth season under Jurgen Klopp, but still the Reds insist upon doing it the hard way. A gut-wrenching defeat at PSG means their European ambitions hinge on the meeting with Napoli in a fortnight's time. Fail to deliver in that one, and Klopp's side face the horror of Europa League football. The German...

Key Stats As Reds Bomb In Paris

Liverpool’s Champions League hopes took yet another battering, this time in Paris, where Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of PSG. But what were the key stats from another humbling night for the Reds, which sees their Champions League campaign hanging by a thread? No Anfield? Big Problems. Liverpool completed a hat-trick of shambolic...

Paris 2-1 Liverpool: Reds out-gunned by Tuchel’s stars

Despite the 2-1 scoreline, Liverpool weren't remotely close to staging a dramatic fightback in Paris as they left themselves with huge work to do in the Champions League. With goals from Juan Bernat and Neymar condemning the Reds to Matchday 5 defeat, Jurgen Klopp's men now must beat Napoli 1-0 or by two clear goals...

Player ratings as Liverpool are punished in Paris

Pretty much the whole lot of them can fuck off tonight, including the manager. You'll see that from the ratings. Liverpool lose in Paris and now we need to beat Napoli, more than likely by two goals, at Anfield on Matchday 6. It's do-able, but do you fancy keeping the likes of Mertens and Insigne...

Midfield musings, a new identity and tactical potential for Liverpool

With Liverpool cruising to a 3-0 win over Watford on Saturday evening, Jurgen Klopp maintained the 2 point deficit to Man City. Another clean sheet and a highly satisfying win, albeit with a dogged rather than spectacular performance. There's a certain symmetry to our away results against Watford since Klopp took over from Brendan Rodgers....

Why Liverpool’s new-found solidity is no bad thing

The 2017/18 season was loads of fun. In the process of securing a second successive top 4 finish and getting to the final of the Champions League, Liverpool scored a whopping 138 goals in all competitions, helping us become known - rightfully - as one of the most lethal attacks in world football. Our...

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 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...
