West Ham 1-3 Liverpool: Observations as majestic second half secures vital win

With Roberto Firmino rested and Sadio Mane the latest addition to the injury list, it looked as if Liverpool were going to need to win ugly at the London Stadium.

A month ago, Spurs travelled to Anfield in a contest for the league's top spot.

Jurgen Klopp’s Arrigo Sacchi Influence Evident In Liverpool’s Offside Trap

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has on record in the past to say that Arrigo Sacchi -- the legendary former Parma and A.C. Milan coach -- is one of his biggest influences in football. Sacchi, now 74, guided Milan to back to back European Cups in the late 80's/early 9o's while using a high pressing, intense...

Dominant Wijnaldum must continue in No.6 role for Liverpool

A victory, at long last. Liverpool are finally back to winning ways in the Premier League for the first time since December 19th, and what a performance they produced at Tottenham.

Klopp’s Tactical Masterclass vs Spurs: Dual False-Nines

Inside of two minutes against Spurs, you could tell something was different. In previous matches this year, Jurgen Klopp had used Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Xherdan Shaqiri as attacking No.8s, with Thiago and Gini Wijnaldum anchoring the midfield.  In those games, the dynamic felt a little off and people kept getting in each other’s way. Thiago...

The truth behind Liverpool’s drought

Liverpool’s goal drought never really bothered me. Some went to the extreme, claiming the system had been found out and Jurgen Klopp needed to make wholesale changes to get them firing again. In truth, it was a mixture of bad luck and bad finishing. I wrote about it in detail for work.  The Reds had...

Stop Playing Thiago As The 6, Liverpool

The medium to long term losses of Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk and the continued inconsistencies in Joel Matip's fitness record doesn't only impact Liverpool in defence.

Are Liverpool just unlucky?

Remember during the first couple of seasons under Jurgen Klopp, when Liverpool would perform well, but an individual mistake would cost them? I’m talking about Alberto Moreno against Sevilla in the Europa League final, Simon Mignolet in the Carabao Cup final, Dejan Lovren on multiple occasions, and Loris Karius in the Champions League final. This...

Liverpool & Their Horses For Courses Centre Halves

Defeat at Old Trafford, but at last reason to be optimistic. Going forward, Liverpool started to tick again. Having been benched in midweek, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino responded commendably.
