Liverpool Top League with Cherry Crush

Waiting for the line-up card to come out has become one of the most suspenseful parts of the Liverpool experience in recent weeks. Most of the anticipation surrounds the season's long wait for Jurgen Klopp to actually field his best eleven, or what the majority of us assume is his best eleven. Injuries to...

Liverpool Player Ratings as Salah sizzles Bournemouth

Mohamed Salah reminds the Premier League exactly what he's all about and the Reds are top of the Premier League, for a few hours at least. Not a bad way to start the weekend. Bournemouth aren't a bad side and the 4-0 scoreline doesn't really reflect the gulf between the two teams, but Liverpool were,...

Joel Matip Must be the Man for Liverpool FC in Gomez’s Absence

With Joe Gomez's fractured leg putting him out of action for six weeks, Jurgen Klopp has got a choice to make. It's not as if there was an attacking injury, with a flurry of names and formations available to the German. Liverpool's lack of centre-back's even rules out the chance of him switching to three...

The Tale of Divock Origi and The Merseyside Derby

The Divock Origi substitution was getting close to the Joël Matip substitution when it comes to things that are almost a parody. Just as bringing Matip on in the 90th minute of any requisite game to shore up a 2-0 win doesn’t really make that much sense, neither does throwing on Divock Origi when you’re...

Naby Keita Offers A Glimpse Into Liverpool’s Future

It has felt like a long wait to see Naby Keita truly announce himself as a Liverpool player, but he’s gone and done it in emphatic fashion. After waiting a year for him to even join the Reds, and then having to sit and endure several months of iffy form and injuries, here he is! At...

Bournemouth v Liverpool Preview – Can Reds pick Cherries off on Saturday?

Key Stats As Liverpool Come From Behind At Turf Moor

Liverpool came from behind to see off Burnley 3-1 at Turf Moor after an absolutely superb second-half recovery. But what were the key stats from a terrific second half display that saw the Reds keep the pace with City and move clear of Chelsea and Arsenal? Naby Keita Explodes Into Life What a player Naby Keita...

Observations as late push secures the points for Liverpool

Liverpool travelled to Burnley in search of a win to stay on the tailcoats of City, who had won a day earlier. The fixture, which Liverpool won last year thanks to a Klavan D'Or, needed a repetition. Liverpool delivered the goods late on to stay in pursuit. The key observations from the game Testing the depth This...

Gomez Injured as Reds Bounce Burnley

I know this is the Burnley match report, but do we really have to stop talking about the derby? Pickford... Origi... man, that was great. Klopp was forced into two changes for mid-week and made a five more just for the hell of it. Moreno and Origi started due to injury worries for Robertson and Mané...

Player Ratings As Much Changed Liverpool Fight Back In Style

Jurgen Klopp made an array of changes for Liverpool's midweek trip to Burnley, with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all out of the starting eleven while Divock Origi was rewarded for his last-gasp winner against Everton at the weekend. Cork's opening goal for the home side put the Reds on the back foot,...

Bringing up a Red

I see them all the time. Supporters of our storied club, who have been bought up in an LFC family right from the beginning. Their father and most of the times, their mother was an LFC supporter. Their grandfather was a season ticket holder and the said ticket has been passed down from father...

Liverpool’s derby win could be pivotal in title race

It was the height of drama, nothing has come close for many years. Divock Origi's 96th-minute winner for Liverpool in the Merseyside derby was as climactic as things get, and keeps Klopp's momentum rolling over as we head into the winter months, where the fixtures come thick and fast. The win keeps the Reds right on...

All Hail The Origi Derby

Moments of prescience are rare in football. Surely there can have been no one in Anfield capable of predicting such a ludicrous outcome in a Merseyside derby, but I believe I was closer than most. With the clock ticking down, the blue smoke gathering in the Anfield Road stand and the Fates about to point their...

Burnley v Liverpool Preview – Can Klopp’s men keep the pressure on City?

In the last five games, Burnley have conceded 12 goals and only scored three of their own. They have lost five...

Origasm at Anfield as the bar plays the star

Finally Fabinho… but that’s not what we’re here to discuss. Undefeated, still on City’s tail and five clear of Chelsea. Suddenly six clear of Arsenal and Tottenham and United are lost in the wilderness but that’s just a side note for now. Mané is miserable. Mo is getting mauled and Firmino is as false as we’ve...

Man of the Match: Fabinho leaves his mark in first Merseyside Derby

An afternoon that threatened to end in frustration turned into one of jubilation when Liverpool's forgotten man Divock Origi turned home the winner following a howler from Jordan Pickford. While it's hugely tempting to give the Belgian man of the match purely for sending Anfield into another Merseyside frenzy as Sadio Mane's 94th-minute derby...

Key Stats From Divock Origi’s Comeback Tour

Liverpool’s forgotten man Divock Origi was the hero as Liverpool secured a late, dramatic, and frantic 1-0 win over Merseyside rivals Everton to keep the pressure on Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. But what were the key stats from a huge result at Anfield? Can You Smell What Divock Is Cooking? Divock...

Observations as Liverpool Find A Way Past The Ev

Liverpool scored a bizarre, 96th-minute winner to see off Everton in a Merseyside Derby that brought the drama in spades. It was an absolutely incredible finish to a game that was not lacking in quality, with both teams missing chances and providing tempo and energy, and it was somewhat fitting that it was Divock...

Why Klopp needs to put the leash back on James Milner

James Milner's long and impressive career has had many strings attached to its bow, the latest coming as part of an ever-growing Liverpool team. Whilst many have fairly questioned the decision to bring him in on such large wages in 2015, he's done more than enough to prove his worth to the squad - albeit...

Patience – Naby Keita Will Be Worth The Wait

Twice in two pre-match interviews, Jürgen Klopp spoke about Naby Keita and reinforced the idea that he sees Keita as a long-term project, and a player who has a fantastic future at Liverpool. The positive side of that is, of course, Klopp remains invested in Keita as a player – which is to be...

The Jurgen Klopp Game of Player Poker

Last summer, when the club had a bid of £66 million for Naby Keita turned down, Jurgen Klopp jokingly likened the transfer market to the game of poker. But all jokes aside, judging by the way he has handled his dealings since then, be they transfers of new players, rotation or player management, the...

Rafa Benitez Still Channeling Spirit of Istanbul

Three game weeks ago, Newcastle were on just 3 points from 10 games, 19th place in the Premier League, yet to win a league game, and only avoiding being rock bottom because of the absolutely dire form of fellow strugglers Huddersfield, who they were only above on goal difference. And yet, even with their own...

PSG 2-1 Liverpool: What went wrong?

It may be Liverpool's fourth season under Jurgen Klopp, but still the Reds insist upon doing it the hard way. A gut-wrenching defeat at PSG means their European ambitions hinge on the meeting with Napoli in a fortnight's time. Fail to deliver in that one, and Klopp's side face the horror of Europa League football. The German...

Key Stats As Reds Bomb In Paris

Liverpool’s Champions League hopes took yet another battering, this time in Paris, where Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of PSG. But what were the key stats from another humbling night for the Reds, which sees their Champions League campaign hanging by a thread? No Anfield? Big Problems. Liverpool completed a hat-trick of shambolic...

Paris 2-1 Liverpool: Reds out-gunned by Tuchel’s stars

Despite the 2-1 scoreline, Liverpool weren't remotely close to staging a dramatic fightback in Paris as they left themselves with huge work to do in the Champions League. With goals from Juan Bernat and Neymar condemning the Reds to Matchday 5 defeat, Jurgen Klopp's men now must beat Napoli 1-0 or by two clear goals...

Player ratings as Liverpool are punished in Paris

Pretty much the whole lot of them can fuck off tonight, including the manager. You'll see that from the ratings. Liverpool lose in Paris and now we need to beat Napoli, more than likely by two goals, at Anfield on Matchday 6. It's do-able, but do you fancy keeping the likes of Mertens and Insigne...

Midfield musings, a new identity and tactical potential for Liverpool

With Liverpool cruising to a 3-0 win over Watford on Saturday evening, Jurgen Klopp maintained the 2 point deficit to Man City. Another clean sheet and a highly satisfying win, albeit with a dogged rather than spectacular performance. There's a certain symmetry to our away results against Watford since Klopp took over from Brendan Rodgers....

Why Liverpool’s new-found solidity is no bad thing

The 2017/18 season was loads of fun. In the process of securing a second successive top 4 finish and getting to the final of the Champions League, Liverpool scored a whopping 138 goals in all competitions, helping us become known - rightfully - as one of the most lethal attacks in world football. Our...
