Liverpool vs Brighton – The Key Stats
The Reds won 5-1 on the South Coast to move 4th in the Premier League, but which stats (or sets of stats), stood out for me?
Coutinho Samba
Whilst Coutinho’s two main stats in this game speak for themselves – one goal and three assists – his underlying stats are...
As Liverpool's fixture list becomes increasingly congested with the Reds facing the prospect of a game every three days or so, the time is right to ask whether Liverpool can compete on both domestic and European fronts. With Man City over 10 points ahead of Liverpool it is unrealistic to suggest we can win...

Liverpool's form has been much improved since the defeat to Spurs, and even that game was something of a speed wobble as the team had already shown signs of improvement before that, after...
Despite Liverpool actually doing fairly well this season, some of the negativity surrounding the team would make you think they are in Everton’s current plight.
It hasn’t been a memorable campaign so far, and some nights have been ruined by poor displays and late capitulations, but just one defeat in 13 matches suggests the Reds...
I've criticised Jurgen Klopp quite often this season, in all honesty.
I like the guy, I think he's pretty much everything I want in terms of how I'd like a Liverpool manager to act and conduct himself, he 'gets it'.
Part of that, is probably what makes me criticise him more than I should. I want...

Brighton and Hove Albion v Liverpool FC
Premier League
Amex Stadium, Brighton
Brighton were hoping to prey on Liverpool's dire recent away record against newly promoted sides. Liverpool were looking for their dire away record against newly promoted sides to not continue.
So what does Jurgen Klopp do? He plays a 3-4-3 with two midfielders at centre-back....
Liverpool recorded back to back wins on the road as the Reds put 5 past a hapless Brighton defence. There were many bright spots on the Reds' side, but below are the major takeaways from the game:
The defence
Illness issues to Gomez meant the already depleted Liverpool defence was weakened even further, so it was...
Liverpool picked up another three points on Saturday afternoon, showing off their flair on the counter-attack to ease past Brighton & Hove Albion with a 5-1 victory.
Here are the player ratings from the match.
Simon Mignolet - 7
Made a crucial point-blank save in the second-half to deny Brighton - an intervention that enabled Liverpool to...
With an 83rd minute Suarez-esque strike that left Stoke’s centre-backs with heads in hands, Mo Salah broke through yet another barrier for Liverpool. This mark though might have gone unnoticed amongst the Egyptian’s long list of accolades.
More than one-third of the way into the season, the Reds have tallied 28 goals, third most in...
It was brilliant to see the Premier League turn rainbow this week. You might think this has happened before and it’s easy to be cynical, “what are some shoelaces and multicoloured flags going to do!?”, but this is an important moment for football.
The sudden burst of homophobic abuse visible online in light of this...
Has Jurgen Klopp finally started to get the hang of rotation? Or is this another false dawn? Against Chelsea, both Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane were rested, as Klopp made some big changes from the side that drew with Sevilla. Then against Stoke, Klopp left Phil Coutinho and Mo Salah out of the starting...
After letting two leads slip at the death in two straight games against Sevilla and Chelsea, Liverpool got two late goals of their own to embellish a 3-0 win on a stereotypical "cold, Wednesday night in Stoke". Mo Salah continued his fantastic form with two more goals, and Jurgen Klopp also managed to rest...

Liverpool got back to winning ways in the Premier League with a third successive league win at Stoke. The Reds ran out 3-0 winners after Sadio Mane's opener was followed by two more customary Mo Salah goals after the Egyptian had come on from the bench.
Stoke gave Liverpool something to think towards the end...
If there are any football fans out there who haven’t yet become aware of Liverpool’s need for an improvement in the heart of the defence, then they are likely living in a willful ignorance of the kind that Liverpool fans can only dream of. Instead, for those clad in Red, a recurring “head in...

In two games in three days, Liverpool dropped late points to ensure that a critical phase of the season has not started too well. The optimism that followed the Reds' 4th win on the bounce last weekend has quickly given way to cynicism and a been-there-done-that feeling.

Liverpool's one-all draw with Chelsea was a disappointing result to take given the scoreline in the 84th minute. The manner of Willian's goal, a floated cross which found its way into the top corner, only compounded the fans' disappointment, after surrendering a three goal lead, away from home, in midweek.
The discussion about the game itself...
Although we’re not yet in December, the Premier League title already looks destined for the Etihad Stadium. Realistically, barring an unlikely collapse from Manchester City, any Liverpool title aspirations are already over for another season.
Those hopes are reflected in current best odds of 66-1 being available at Bet Victor on a first domestic league...

Sometimes there are fluke goals.
Sometimes the opposition are just better than you.
Sometimes you can be unlucky.
The fury about the draw with Chelsea has matched that of the second half in Seville which seems a little unfair. Chelsea have the best centre-back in the country in Cesar Azpilicueta, a monster of a player in N’golo...
First things first: I have been one of Alberto Moreno’s biggest critics over the last few years.

Liverpool and Chelsea come into this game on the back of contrasting results in Europe in midweek. Liverpool snatched a draw from the jaws of comfortable victory in Seville, while Chelsea strolled to a comfortable victory in Azerbaijan.

Chelsea...
Disappointing to once more throw away a lead, but given the team selection and crazy run of fixtures ahead of Liverpool, denying Chelsea a win whilst resting Mane and Firmino may well prove positive in the long run.
Here's how the Reds rated at Anfield.
