Why Virgil Van Dijk is better than Sergio Ramos

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson believes The Reds will bounce back in the right way from their Champions League defeat at Napoli on Tuesday night. Jurgen Klopp's side lost 2-0 in Naples on the opening night of their Champions League title defence, thanks to a penalty from Dries Mertens and an injury-time goal from Fernando Llorente. Up...

Liverpool Must Improve

Absurd title, isn’t it? Allow me to explain... Every Premier League game these days feels like a ‘must win’ for Liverpool Football Club. Such is life when you’re effectively chasing perfection and trying to outdo this Manchester City outfit. The opening five (admittedly kind) league matches have been expertly navigated by Jürgen Klopp, yielding the perfect...

Napoli 2-0 Liverpool: What went wrong?

This is the second year in succession that I'm sitting down to ponder how Liverpool were beaten at the Stadio San Paolo, but the circumstances feel different. Last season, it was more or less a case of a wretched team performance, but on the whole the Reds turned in a decent display at this time,...

Reds Rue Referee Replay Refusal in Reversal

A contentious Dries Mertens penalty and a late Fernando Llorente goal saw Liverpool start their European Cup defence start with a 2-0 defeat to Napoli in Italy.

Player ratings as Reds fall again in Naples

VAR. Going great, isn’t it? I honestly didn’t think we’d do particularly well tonight but I thought we’d at least have the VAR on our side after Saturday’s debacle. Never mind. Chelsea on Saturday etc, we move on. Just one more thing before the ratings - Peter Walton is a big weirdo. Adriannnnn, like Rocky! Adrian (8): That’s...

Predicting Liverpool’s starting eleven for the Napoli game tonight

Liverpool return to European competitive action tonight when they face Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo in Naples. We've had a go at predicting Jurgen Klopp's starting eleven.

Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle: A Tactical Breakdown

International breaks can often pose a challenge for teams on a winning streak, with an unnecessary interruption to the rhythm of the side. Against Newcastle, for the opening 15-20 minutes at least, it seemed that was the case. Newcastle opted to launch balls into the wide channels, and fight for second balls, but it...

The Story Behind Liverpool’s ‘Worst Performance of the Season’ and Why it Must Not be Repeated

It's that special time of year again. The European champions are back in action and they will finally be laying their first defence of the crown that sets them apart from the rest.

Liverpool look to continue their European form

Liverpool will bid to reach their third consecutive Champions League final this season and it is hard to see anyone stopping them.

Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle United: Who was Man of the Match?

Another win at Anfield for the handsome Reds. Even when going a goal down I doubt any Liverpool fan was particularly concerned, 3 points was always likely to be the result. That’s 5 wins from 5 Premier League games now with a trip to Naples up next in the Champions’ League. The defence didn’t have...

Player Ratings as Liverpool Top the Toon

A lovely, routine(ish) win for the Reds to start your weekend off. Slightly annoying that everyone's favourite FIFA 12 left-back decided to blam one in with his weak foot before we'd played 10 minutes, but at least it gave Steve Bruce something other than his evening Mixed Grill to be happy about. After that, Sadio...

Liverpool’s subtle tweak to get the best out of Firmino

Liverpool's exceptional start to the season has meant a number of things have gone under the radar. It’s understandable, too. There’s a lot to process with the Reds winning four from four as well as triumphing in the Super Cup.

Predicting Liverpool’s lineup for the Newcastle game on Saturday

We've had a go at predicting Jurgen Klopp's starting eleven for the visit of Newcastle United to Anfield this Saturday.

Six games, 18 days: The period where Klopp’s squad will be acutely assessed

Six games, 18 days. Forget the 100 per cent start to the new league season, this is the period where the bulk of Jurgen Klopp's squad will be put through the wringer.

Is Van Dijk the Premier League’s best-ever centre-back?

Has a Liverpool player ever received as much endless praise over a sustained period than Virgil van Dijk? The Dutchman has been an almost godlike figure at Anfield from the moment he arrived in January 2018, powering home a header in front of the Kop on his debut, against Everton no less. Since then, Van Dijk...

John Achterberg discloses details of Adrian’s extra training during break

Goalkeeping coach John Achterberg says Liverpool's Adrian was undertaking extra training sessions during the current international break to make up for the Spaniard's lack of pre-season workouts.

Four From Four – Business as Usual for Liverpool

We are four games into the Premier League season, so naturally, it’s time for an irritating international break.

A time for reflection as Klopp’s success shows no signs of slowing down

During a time where Jurgen Klopp and his backroom staff will be enjoying some well deserved time off following the Reds' 100 per cent start to the Premier League campaign, it represents a perfect opportunity for reflection. Reflection on how a certain German manager was able to transform a squad of nearly-men to kings of...

Liverpool’s transfer conundrum is their biggest strength

People will have you believe that Liverpool find themselves in a tricky situation in the transfer market.

Gary Neville made the point...

Trouble in paradise: Two scandals by Liverpool standards

We've reached the first international break, and so it's time to reflect on the first action of the season.
