Liverpool took the lead at the Emirates thanks to a rare open-play James Milner goal – and should have had another goal if not for a poor refereeing decision – yet ended up with a draw thanks to conceding a late equalizer. But what were the key stats as Liverpool shared the spoils with...
Liverpool settled for a point at Arsenal at the end of an absorbing game at the Emirates. Liverpool had their fair share of good chances, and with a bit of luck and competent officiating, the result could have been more favourable for Liverpool.
The key observations from the encounter:
Tough to beat this Liverpool team
Though the...
Philosophical debates will be had around the dinner tables of Merseyside as Liverpool fans reflect on Saturday's draw with Arsenal, struggling to decide if it's one point gained or two points dropped.
Glass half full, or half empty? After a 1-1 draw that include moments of genius combined with moments of madness, incompetency from officials...
Phew. That was a game and a half, and in the end, probably a fair result too. Arsenal dominated Liverpool territorially and in terms of possession, but the Reds had much the better chances through the game. In the end, the 1-1 result seemed fair, on the whole balance of play though.
James Milner put...
Arsenal host Liverpool on Saturday aiming to prove that they are genuine contenders for this season’s Premier League title.
The Gunners failed their first tests of the campaign against Manchester City and Chelsea, but have since taken 22 points from a possible 24 to move up to fourth in the table.
They have also progressed to...
Since the 2013/14 run-in specifically, but probably far before that, there has been a sect of Reds supporters who have not felt safe to embrace positivity. There have been peaks and valleys where the legions of the negative have ebbed and flowed. If you’ve been so kind to have listened to me on various...
When Shaqiri first signed for Liverpool, there were plenty of sceptics. After all, this was a player notably lethargic out of possession, disinterested in tracking back and doing his defensive duties. Among those to voice their concerns was Gary Neville, who said that the Swiss international epitomised the unprofessional nature of Stoke City in...
Liverpool face another huge test of their Premier League title credentials, as they travel to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday for the late kickoff, to face a buoyant Arsenal, who are unbeaten since losing their opening two Premier League matches of the season. Unai Emery's men saw an 11-game winning run halted last weekend,...

Before last Sunday's 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace, Arsenal had won 11 games straight in all competitions. A tough start to the season, facing Manchester City and Chelsea in their opening two league...
Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over Cardiff has sparked cause for optimism among its fanbase, not just because it’s the first time Liverpool have put four past an opposition this season – a feat that becomes something of a hobby for Klopp’s team last term.
No, it was also momentous for the full Premier League debut of...
Liverpool are currently enjoying their best ever start to a Premier League season, with their ten-match unbeaten run positioning The Reds level at the top of the table with last season's champions, Manchester City. Despite being tied with City on 26 points though, the vast majority of data behind the results suggests that Pep...
It's hard to think of a Liverpool signing in the last decade that brought as much delight as the capture of Naby Keita.
Luis Suarez is a name that instantly springs to mind, but when he traded Amsterdam for Anfield he wasn’t the world-beater he would go on to become.
Mo Salah and Sadio Mane both...
Liverpool played some electric football last season. The thrilling ride to the Champions League final is testament to the fact; netting a record-breaking amount of goals on their voyage to Kiev, Jurgen Klopp's side outfought and outclassed opponents across Europe, developing a reputation as one of the most exhilarating attacking sides in the land.

After an efficient and impressive performance in the Champions League, against Red Star Belgrade, Liverpool looked reinvigorated and refreshed, following a run of closer, drab matches.
Neil Warnock's pre-match presser made it obvious how Cardiff would set up to play, as he sang praises of Liverpool's fantastic forward line, who look as imperious as ever,...
While Jürgen Klopp’s first choice Liverpool team continue to earn all of the plaudits from the media for their solid start to the season, it could perhaps be easy to forget those Liverpool players currently plying their trade elsewhere on loan spells.
There are a number of young Reds currently out and about getting valuable...
Ben Woodburn's career so far has been defined by moments.
A goal against Leeds United lit the touch paper, sparking huge interest in Woodburn as he became Liverpool's youngest ever scorer.
Following that there was the goal against Austria that secured a hugely important win for Wales, Woodburn striking poetically from the edge of the area...
Liverpool shot back to the top of the Premier League with an excellent 4-1 win over Cardiff City at Anfield. But what were the key stats from another emphatic victory as the Reds made it ten league games unbeaten?
Salah The Catalyst For Big Win
Mo Salah proved once again why he’s Liverpool’s main man as...
Liverpool maintained the 'Fortress' Anfield record after a bit of huff 'n' puff against Cardiff. The game was bereft of excitement for large parts until Liverpool decided to turn it on late in the game.
The key observations from the game:
The ebb and flow
This game was a funny one (and not in a good manner)....
Prior to the season beginning, I wrote an article on what Liverpool must do to win the Premier League, taking into account things such as goals scored, goals conceded, points won and European form of title winners in the past 10 years.
Another thing I touched on was the first 10 games, with the idea...
Liverpool are top of the Premier League after a late spell of ruthless brilliance shattered Cardiff's hopes of stealing a point at Anfield.
The Reds' dominance levels in the first half were nigh-on historic as they enjoyed around 85% of the ball but, while there was some neat interplay, Mohamed Salah's opener proved the only...
A supposedly 'out of sorts' Mohamed Salah acted as conductor as Liverpool primed themselves at the top of the Premier League table with a routine 4-1 win against Cardiff.
Fresh of the back of a Champions League rout on Wednesday night, the Egyptian scored one and assisted two, taking his tally to seven for the season...
Liverpool went three points clear at the top of the Premier League, at least provisionally, as they thumped Cardiff City 4-1 at Anfield. The Reds didn't really have to get out of second gear, once Mo Salah put them in front in the 10th minute. Sadio Mane scored after half-time to put the Reds...
Well, this is bizarre.
Not since the days of Rafa Benitez has Liverpool’s fanbase, as a collective, been able to relax.
No, not when Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren compounded previously inflicted wounds, very visible wounds that kept on bleeding. Calling the 2014/15-era Glen Johnson a liability would be a compliment, Lucas Leiva’s personal hobby of...
With Liverpool sitting level on points with Man City at the top of the table, point for point, Liverpool’s start has been pretty impressive. If there is any cause for concern after a ridiculously difficult opening set of fixtures (including Champions League games), it is probably misplaced at this stage.
A need for perspective
That said, there is...
After a drab affair against Huddersfield, Liverpool fans were craving for an impressive performance. Yet, for the opening 20 minutes, Liverpool looked a far cry from their fluid, incisive best. But this was no typical Liverpool lineup.
Klopp has employed the 4-3-3 system to good effect in his three seasons at Liverpool, after initially starting...
It's late October and Liverpool have conceded three goals in the Premier League. Three!
This was something that felt impossible almost a year ago to the day, as Dejan Lovren and Simon Mignolet were gifting Tottenham a 4-1 win.
The Reds' defence looked irreparable and Jurgen Klopp found himself at the lowest point of his Anfield...
Mohamed Salah’s muted goal celebration on Wednesday night came as a surprise to many. The Egyptian forward’s reaction has already become a key talking point following Liverpool’s convincing 4-0 victory over Red Star Belgrade.
Jürgen Klopp, calm and jovial as ever in front of the cameras, was quick to shrug off the possibility of there...
