Signing for a world record £75million in January, eyebrows were certainly raised about Liverpool's decision to splash the cash on Virgil Van Dijk. Yet, the Dutchman has already proved a worthy investment, posing a towering figure at the heart of the defence. Barking orders to his teammates while showing sublime distribution, he's helped address...
Liverpool travel to the Old Enemies' den on Saturday, in what will possibly be the defining encounter in the race to be the best of the rest in the Premier League.

So here we go again, the return of one of the most unbearable fixtures for many Liverpool fans: Man United away.
It is a game that we love to win more than just about any other but know all too well how bleak defeat can be.

Match Review
It's not often Liverpool are involved in games that fail to get the pulses racing.
Scoring 28 goals in seven Champions League matches prior to kick-off, The Reds boasted an average of...
Job done, professional work, blah blah blah. That was a little boring, wasn't it?
Liverpool (5) 0-0 (0) Porto. Onto Old Trafford and into the quarter-finals.

Liverpool is back in the Champions League knockout stages. Back with a bang. It has been a while. None of the players from the team that managed to go out of the group stages last time are with the team now. It took a change of ownership, 4 managerial changes and 3254 days for...
Let’s begin with Gary Neville.
Twice in the past week, the pundit has used his position in the Sky Sports studio to call out laziness in the elite of the Premier League. At Wembley for the League Cup final (sponsorships changes but the competition remains so please excuse my not mentioning them), he made the...

Liverpool played out a routine 2-0 win on Saturday afternoon, breezing past Newcastle on Rafa Benitez's return to Anfield. A first-half goal from Mohamed Salah set the ball rolling before Sadio Mane doubled the score after the interval, rounding off a superb team move. The result sees The Reds move up to 2nd in...
Despite stark divisions between their position in the Premier League table, this looked like a testing fixture for Liverpool. Newcastle hadn't lost a league game for over two and a half months, bar Manchester City while Rafa's ability to grind out an unlikely point meant he could never truly be ruled out the contest.

It was a tough opening half to the game as Newcastle defended in an organized manner, but once Salah put Liverpool ahead, there was always going to be only one winner.

It’s a crying shame what’s happened to West Ham United.
Seriously. How a decent club has fallen.
True, they’ve always been a side liable to go down every five or so years, but they’ve never been a club to betray their footballing principles. They may have the odd knobhead and the occasional embarrassing celebrity fan, but...

Liverpool’s current league position and recent Champions League performance emphasise the fine job that Jurgen Klopp is doing. Things are not perfect, they indeed rarely are in football. However, despite the squad still being a work in progress, the year on year improvement is undeniable.

When Jürgen Klopp arrived at Anfield in October 2015, there was an immediate sense of excitement.

However, while his arrival has...
