Daniel Sturridge: The Right Man for the Wrong System?

To my pleasant surprise, Daniel Sturridge was handed a start by Jürgen Klopp against Manchester United on Monday evening. Usually in the "big" games, Klopp opts for Firmino to play as a false 9, to spearhead the team's press, but instead, he chose Sturridge - a choice that unfortunately did not pay dividends. But why...

Sadio Mane or Raheem Sterling? Statistical Observations

Just this past Monday, Dominic King of the Mail Online, produced an article stating how Manchester United nullified the effectiveness of Liverpool’s Sadio Mane, during the recent stalemate at Anfield. Where he might have been correct in this statement, it was clear to see that Jose Mourinho’s significant attention towards the Senegalese forward, in...

Why Klopp is right to favour Firmino over Sturridge

Liverpool’s blistering start to the new season has the club’s fans hoping that Jurgen Klopp’s men can put in a realistic Premier League title challenge this term, with all the signs suggesting the Merseysiders will be there or thereabouts come May. A somewhat disappointing 0-0 draw against rivals Manchester United on Monday was the first...

Liverpool v Manchester United: Pragmatism or Poor Performance?

Oh, Lord this is going to be tricky. Before I start on this complex and somewhat tricky standpoint, I’d like to issue the following caveats. Firstly, I don’t like anything to do with Manchester United. I’m one of those people who finds themselves wiping their hands on their jeans if I accidentally brush one of their shirts...

Liverpool vs West Brom Preview: Can Pulis’ bus be broken?

Liverpool will be hoping for a welcome return to their goalscoring ways after a frustrating shut-out against Manchester United on Monday, when they host West Bromwich Albion on Saturday evening. It's another game likely to be under the Anfield lights, with the Reds hoping to remain unbeaten at home this season. Form Liverpool are, for want of...

Liverpool v West Brom: Key Battles

For all that was said about Jose Mourinho and Manchester United for their tactics on Monday, Liverpool played nowhere near as well as they could have and shown us this season. But for the Reds, it is time to put the game behind them and concentrate on the next Premier League game as we...

Liverpool Transfer Rumours: Who Is the Next Player to Join the Club?

Liverpool keeps its great hopes for highest places in current championship, as a new style of the game invented by Jurgen Klopp allows Reds to compete on equal terms with rivals. New players, which should strengthen team, remain to be main goal of club’s managers on this exact moment of time. The closer it...

Attackers Liverpool may target: Part 1 – The Expensive Options

Liverpool's impressive early season form, which sees them just two points off the top after 8 Premier League matches, has been largely down to just how rampant their attack has been. The summer acquisition of Southampton's Sadio Mane has really seemed to be an adrenaline shot to what was at times a pedestrian, lacklustre Liverpool...

Jurgen Klopp’s Year at Liverpool – a view from Germany

Since a year Jürgen Klopp is he manager of Liverpool F.C. – Sure this is no mind blowing news for readers of this blog. Actually for nobody who is interested in football since the German has a huge medial presence. This article answers the question how the status of Klopp has changed since he...

Studge in the Mud – What Are We Gonna do With Sturridge?

Christ on a bike, have you ever seen one substitution change the tempo, style and atmosphere as much as when Adam Lallana entered the melee on Monday night? Like when the producers switch to the infrared cameras in the chopper on police interceptors, or during Planet Earth. Suddenly all became clear. Liverpool began to...

How Liverpool FC Hope to Win the Title

Liverpool have made a great start in the Premier League this year and are currently in fourth place after Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal. The Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has hinted that he suspects Premier League glory for his team, but has said that he cannot openly declare this as ‘everybody will go nuts.’ Liverpool have...

Why Joel Matip Could be Key to Beating the Parked Bus

From a Liverpool perspective Monday night was a night of frustration. Jose Mourinho's Manchester United arrived at Anfield with a clear game plan in mind and to their credit they executed it to near perfection. They stifled, smothered and dictated where Liverpool could and couldn't play. For Liverpool fans it felt like deja-vu. There they...

Disjointed Liverpool Fail to Break Down a Stubborn United Defensive Resistance

It was always going to happen. A combination of the pause for the international break combined with a perfect storm of players being injured and others being rusty from a period on the medical table was enough to disrupt the momentum that Liverpool were beginning to build. In all honesty there were signs before the...

Calmness Personified in Joel Matip

It was the game we had all been waiting for since the start of the season. After a full weekend of build up that had the feel of a WWE Wrestlemania main event, we finally made it out of work buzzing with anticipation and dreaming of not just beating our greatest rival Manchester United, but...

Liverpool supporters need to see the bigger picture

Being a Liverpool fan has never been, nor ever will be, an easy ride. The reds dominated English and indeed European Football for large portions of the 1960, 70s and 80s but, perhaps inevitably, currently find themselves languishing behind a pack of teams growing in terms of footballing credentials and, naturally, wealth. Over a...

Observations from Liverpool’s draw United

It wasn't what the majority had hoped to witness but the Reds finally ended United's winning streak at Anfield on Monday night. It didn't go to plan. Liverpool didn't blitz their bitter rivals. They didn't get revenge on Mourinho for 2013/14. But they did successfully manage to highlight just how one dimensional the special one actually is....

Memphis Depay – Liverpool’s Best Failure

Roughly sixteen months ago, Liverpool social media were furious once again, as we always are during every transfer window, at the club’s failure to bring in an explosive talent with quality, and at such a tender age in Memphis Depay. Coming to Liverpool would’ve made the most perfect sense in our eyes, well, in mine at...

Four Attacking Points for a Top Four Finish For Liverpool

It’s early days in the six year tenure of Jürgen Klopp and there’s a general state of mixed emotions within the Liverpool fanbase - a mix of quiet confidence and an itch for reaching another level of talent in the team. With the current skill-set of the Liverpool squad that Klopp has created up...

Liverpool supporters – Be Careful what you wish for

Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius, having presided over 3-0, 5-1 and 2-1 wins in his opening three competitive games for Liverpool, could probably be forgiven if a part of him has spent the international break wondering what he has done so wrong. Having recovered from the broken hand which caused him to miss Liverpool’s first five...

Liverpool vs Manchester United Preview: Big Night Under The Lights

The international break is over, and oh boy is it over. We resume Premier League action with arguably the biggest fixture of the English footballing season. It's Liverpool vs Manchester United. At Anfield. On Monday night. Under the lights. One word? BOOM! FORM Put simply, Liverpool's is better than United's. We're seven games into the league season...

Six of the Best, or Six Feet Under? Liverpool’s Upcoming Fixtures

I honestly believe I say this to myself almost every week... but I think we have a really big 6 games coming up. It’s all very tight at the top of the Premier League at the moment, and as Liverpool continue to flatten their inferior opposition with a goal-fuelled fly swat, we’re keeping ourselves very...

Liverpool have Squad Depth to Cover for Injuries

Injury is a word I thoroughly hate, especially if it concerns a Liverpool player. We’ve been down this road before, particularly last season where we could field quite a strong lineup with the number of injuries the Liverpool squad had absorbed. We missed key players who were unavailable for very important fixtures, Mamadou Sakho...

Is a title challenge realistic for Liverpool?

Liverpool fans are understandably excited about the season ahead after a very positive beginning to the 2016-17 Premier League season. It is clear that manager Jurgen Klopp is starting to get real results from the playing squad at his disposal, with the German’s unique footballing methods sinking in. Away wins at Arsenal and Chelsea have been...

Damien Comolli and his Liverpool Flops

Damien Comolli decided to piggyback on the recent success of Jordan Henderson to once again get his name in the headlines. The ex-Director of Football at Liverpool has claimed the club's owners fired him after telling him that £16million man Jordan Henderson was a waste of money. In quotes taken from a report in...

Liverpool v Manchester United: Key Battles

The old enemy. The new Anfield under floodlights for the first time. An optimism that has been a while since we've seen. All the facts point to what should be a mouth-watering Monday night on Merseyside. Liverpool welcome Manchester United to the Anfield Fortress, as the Reds look to build on what has been...

Jordan Henderson and Out of Context Stats

In hindsight it was probably definitely naive of me to write an article highlighting my concerns about Jordan Henderson's ability on the ball when the opposition press him. I was under the impression that you were allowed to point out a player's weakness and not simultaneously hate him. But alas, it was perhaps a quixotic...

One Year Under Klopp – The Milli Of All Trades

When Liverpool acquired James Milner on a free transfer in the summer of 2015, question marks were raised regarding Brendan Rodgers' decision to bring in the former Manchester City utility player with the view to play him in the centre midfield position. The consensus amongst the fans was that despite getting him on a...

Liverpool Facing a Potential Crossroads

Liverpool's early season form has been good, flat out exciting at times, but there have also been some causes for concern. I don't want to get all negative or try to bring down the vibrant atmosphere of late because I share the joy of our side playing swashbuckling football and doing well thus far. However,...

Liverpool’s Squad Depth is Starting to Show

The wheels threaten to come off Liverpool's good start to the season when within a space of a week both Adam Lallana and Gini Wijnaldum picked up injuries and with fierce rivals Manchester United on the horizon two thirds of the Reds' starting midfield looked set to miss the tie. One of the few...

Liverpool and Man United – A Centuries’ Old Rivalry

In the mid-1990s I was in a band. Don’t bother Googling my name along with the words ‘hits by’ or ‘world tour’. We played two gigs and broke up when the bass player went to play jazz in a London hotel, but back then we were going to build empires with our jangly guitared take...
