Reds’ Champions League performance delights Klopp

Liverpool took a huge step towards advancing to the quarter-final stage of this season's Champions League with a 2-0 win over RB Leipzig. It was the first leg of their last-sixteen clash with the Bundesliga high-flyers and The Reds came away with a comfortable lead and two 'away' goals. The game was played in the...

What Needs To Change At Liverpool Between Now And The End Of The Season?

To say it has been a disastrous title defence for Liverpool this season would be an understatement. The Reds have fallen way below the standards that they have set themselves over the past three seasons, and the results have only been evidence of that. The pressure has mounted on Jurgen Klopp over recent weeks...

Tactical Breakdown: Leicester 3-1 Liverpool

Liverpool slumped to a third consecutive league defeat at the King Power Stadium, surrendering the lead in a flurry of goals that saw the champions lose 3-1. Brendan Rodgers' Foxes set up in a 4-4-2 system. When in possession, Leicester looked to avoid offering pressing opportunities for Liverpool in the middle of the pitch, and Kasper...

Liverpool Show Their Wings With Victory Over RB Leipzig

Liverpool took a big step towards Champions League quarter-final qualification with a 2-0 victory against Red Bull Leipzig in Budapest.

Jordan Henderson and Ozan Kabak were once again paired in the heart of the...

Will this be Liverpool’s lineup to face RB Leipzig tonight in the Champions League?

Liverpool play Bundesliga side, RB Leipzig, tonight in the last sixteen of the Champions League. We've had a look at Jürgen Klopp's likely starting eleven.

There has never been a time when football fans have been more informed. The omnipotent connectivity of the internet provides access to supporters from all over the world daily information on the happenings of their club.

Klopp’s update on James Milner’s injury

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp confirmed that James Milner's injury could be a lengthy one following The Reds' 3-1 defeat at Leicester on Saturday. A crazy seven-minute spell late in the game at the King Power Stadium turned Liverpool's 1-0 lead into a 3-1 deficit. Mohamed Salah had put Klopp's men in front with a well-taken...

Former Liverpool Players Who Have Had Success In Horse Racing

There seems to be a strong connection with footballers becoming involved in horse racing in some capacity once their careers are over. Many former Liverpool players have ventured into the sport and have had a lot of success. The city of Liverpool obviously has a strong association with horse racing as the Grand National, the...

Does Alex Oxlade Chamberlain Have A Liverpool Future At Right-Back?

Jurgen Klopp is no stranger to repurposing his players into new on-field roles. At both Borussia Dortmund and at Liverpool, the German has thought outside the box and redeployed players in new positions. Roberto Firmino is perhaps the most example. The Brazilian arrived at Anfield from Hoffenheim as an attacking midfielder, but -- almost instantly --...

RB Leipzig vs Liverpool Preview – The possibility of another European adventure beckons…

THE DETAILS Venue - Puskás Aréna, Budapest, Hungary Referee - Slavko Vincic (SVN) Date & Time - Tuesday, February 16th 2021 @ 20:00 Current Odds - RB Leipzig 2/1, Draw 13/5, Liverpool 5/4 _____________________________________________________________________ A possible run in the Champions League is probably one of the few potential highlights remaining in what has turned out to be a very tough season...

Tactical Breakdown: Liverpool 1-4 Manchester City

Liverpool fell to a third straight league defeat as Manchester City won 4-1 at Anfield. The result all but rubberstamped Manchester City's attempts to reclaim the title, yet the scoreline flatters to deceive in a game that was closely contested but ultimately decided by a number of key individual errors from Liverpool. Systems Liverpool were set...

Leicester 3-1 Liverpool: Player ratings as fragile Reds unravel

Mohamed Salah's glorious finish following Roberto Firmino's ingenious assist had set Liverpool on course for an impressive and important victory. But then they imploded in gut-wrenching fashion. It's a defeat that both reflects and deepens the profound crisis of confidence in the defending champions' ranks. They are in freefall, their season growing inconceivably more wretched...

Luckless Liverpool Fall To Leicester Defeat

Liverpool took a heavy blow to their top-four qualification prospects with a 3-1 defeat to Leicester City at The Kingpower Stadium. Things were appearing to go swimmingly for the Reds when Mohamed Salah gave them a merited lead in the middle of the second half after a brilliant Roberto Firmino assist. However, as has constantly been...

Anfield auditions for Kabak and Davies must start now for move to make sense

Another day, another injury concern. It all feels a bit like groundhog day for Liverpool and seeing players on the treatment table this season. Jurgen Klopp today announced that Fabinho will be sidelined for the upcoming trip to Leicester with a small muscle issue. This leaves Liverpool with none of their 'recognised' centre back options from...

Will this be Liverpool’s starting lineup to play Leicester City on Saturday?

Liverpool travel to play Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday. What starting eleven will Jürgen Klopp select for this crucial clash in The Reds' battle for a top-four finish? Klopp will be without six players as he has been for much of the season - in fact, the injury-list has normally consisted of...

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

Excuse: a reason or explanation given to justify a fault or offence. For some bizarre reason, excuses are viewed as negatives these days. I don’t quite understand why given, per the definition, it is a justification as to why something has happened. Obviously, these truths can be embellished and this might why people seem to...

Harvey Barnes: A Potential Liverpool Midfield Star

Alex Oxlade Chamberlain has endured a frustrating season with Liverpool. The English midfielder has missed 20 games so far with a knee injury that sidelined him from late August until December. And when the 27-year-old has played he has, understandably, looked short of rhythm and has -- aside from a beautifully executed back heel that allowed...

Liverpool linked with a summer move for Leeds star

Leeds' Raphinha has lit the Premier League on fire since his move to Elland Road in October with Liverpool now rumoured to be interested in signing the exciting forward. Raphinha is a left-footed attacker who plays mainly on the right side of the front line as an inverted winger, much like Mohamed Salah. He signed for...

Leicester City vs Liverpool Preview – Reds must gather themselves and prepare for top-four race

THE DETAILS Venue – King Power Stadium, Leicester Referee – Anthony Taylor Date & Time – Saturday, February 13th @ 12:30 Current Odds – Leicester 13/5, Draw 13/5, Liverpool 1/1 ________________________________________________________ Liverpool must bounce back from last Sunday's Manchester City defeat. The Reds have to remember that they were looking the more likely to win that game with the score balanced...

Sadio Mane’s struggles compound Liverpool’s current misery

Liverpool's Premier League titles are all but over - I think even the most optimistic Reds supporter has accepted that by now. Last weekend's sobering 4-1 loss at the hands of Man City was the moment it became clear that the title would not be heading to Anfield in May, much like last season's win...

Reds reported to be tracking progress of Sporting Lisbon playmaker

Liverpool are rumoured to be tracking the progress of Sporting Lisbon star Pedro Gonçalves with the view to a possible move in the future. According to Portuguese publication, Record, The Reds are interested in bringing the 22-year-old playmaker to Anfield as Liverpool plan a potentially busy summer in the transfer market. Gonçalves has scored 14 goals...

Set Piece Toothlessness Hindering Liverpool After Defensive Injury Nightmare

Liverpool's defensive injury crisis has hindered them in so many ways this season. Losing Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Joel Matip has obviously hamstrung the defending champions in defence, not that you would necessarily know it from the goals conceded column. The break glass in case of emergency defenders -- Fabinho and Jordan Henderson --...

Ozan Kabak: More Joel Matip than Dejan Lovren

Ozan Kabak shares a number of similarities with Dejan Lovren. He also has traits that are comparable to Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk. It’s be expected though, given Liverpool have a clear profile when it comes to defenders. I realise it is difficult to do, but if you look past Lovren’s erratic moments, his...

Klopp defends Alisson after Manchester City nightmare for goalkeeper

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp says that Alisson Becker will learn from his off-day against Manchester City and labels him a "world-class" goalkeeper. Alisson made two uncharacteristic errors to help Manchester City on their way to a 4-1 win at Anfield on Sunday. Speaking after the game, Klopp discussed the mistakes and was quick to remind everyone...

Why Liverpool Shouldn’t Sign Rodrigo De Paul

Liverpool have been linked to innumerable players throughout the course of the transfer window. The spotlight of speculation has mostly focused on the defensive compartment after the serious injuries to both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez. The uncertainty over Georginio Wijnaldum's future, however, has lead to several midfielders being linked to the Reds. Among the...

The importance of shot variance

It feels like an eternity ago now, but it hasn’t even been a month since Liverpool hit seven past Crystal Palace. The Premier League champions looked rampant at Selhurst Park. Previously, the Reds have racked up a 3-0 lead and taken their foot off the pedal, but against Roy Hodgson’s side, it was different....

Henderson says Reds must get City defeat out of their system before facing Leicester

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson believes his squad must use the coming week to get the Manchester City defeat out of their system. Jürgen Klopp's Reds lost 4-1 to Manchester City on Sunday, making it three consecutive Anfield defeats, after going almost four years without losing a home game in the league before that. Henderson insists that...

Liverpool Limp To Home Defeat To Manchester City

Liverpool made it three consecutive home Premier League defeats with a 4-1 reversal to Manchester City Anfield. A brace from Ilkay Gundogan -- who also missed a penalty -- and strikes from Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden sealed the win for City, while Mohamed Salah's penalty only counted as a consolation in the end. The Reds...

Tactical Breakdown: Liverpool 0-1 Brighton

Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool lost 1-0 to Brighton at Anfield to leave their ambitions to retain the Premier League title in tatters. They were without both Alisson and Sadio Mané, compounding the tactical issues that long-term injuries to Van Dijk, Gomez, Matip, Keïta and Jota have caused. Systems Liverpool set up in their usual 4-3-3, but with...

Has Jurgen Klopp been found out?

No. Thanks for reading. In all seriousness, I’m not sure how anyone can come to that conclusion. Yes, Liverpool have lost twice in quick succession, and fortress Anfield has been ransacked. But it’s a massive stretch to watch those games and your first thought to be that Klopp has been found out. Yet that’s exactly...
