Liverpool’s Goalkeepers – A Statistical Analysis

A Tactical Breakdown of Liverpool FC’s midfield, versus Swansea

45 minutes into the match, and apart from Coutinho's rip-roaring wonder strike (another one), and a squandered chance for Firmino, it seemed a drab affair for Liverpool, against current relegation favourites: Swansea City. As I sat watching the game, I thought the only logical conclusion to draw was that Liverpool can't blow every team...

Key Stats from Liverpool 5-0 Swansea

Liverpool thrashed Swansea 5-0 to move back into the top four and close the gap on 2nd place Man United to five points. But what were the key stats from another emphatic win at Anfield? Phil Coutinho etc. Honestly, it’s boring when your best player is the same person week in, week out. But here...

Why Coutinho is the Best Player in the Premier League

Yep, you read that title right. I’m going to argue Phil Coutinho is the best player in the Premier League this season. I have numbers, I have intuition and I have absolutely no fear of the backlash. First of all, I appreciate there will be two instant reactions to this. The first is: he’s not...

Individual Errors Becoming A Theme In Liverpool’s Season

Liverpool's entertaining 3-3 draw away at Arsenal on Friday evening was definitely one for the neutral - but not if you're a Reds supporter and have any regard whatsoever for the health of your heart. A topsy-turvy game saw the visitors race into a two-goal lead which seemed unassailable at the time, with the Reds...

Tactical Analysis: Breaking Down Arsenal 3-3 Liverpool

It took some doing for Liverpool to best their most ridiculous performance of the season, but somehow they managed to do it. Unlike the Sevilla fixture though, Liverpool only surrendered control for a brief handful of minutes: but that was more than enough for Arsenal to sweep in and turn the game on its...

Liverpool’s ‘Rotating’ Problem

A lot of clubs have a rotation problem, balancing the heavy requirements of the winter schedule can be daunting, but Liverpool... they're different. For once Liverpool have a deep enough squad that rotation is not an issue at all, but the Reds do have a rotating problem. The focus of supporter ire changes from...

Liverpool's familiar problems with the goalkeeper and the defence resurfaced in five...

Should Sadio Mane Be Dropped?

Alright, so two caveats before we even get into this debate. The first is that rotation means Mane will get less game time than he might have otherwise in the next few weeks anyway. So this isn’t so much a: ‘should Mane play in X or Y game specifically’, but more of a ‘should...

Liverpool’s New-Found Squad Depth Paying Dividends

Since Liverpool stopped ruling English football in 1990, there are many reasons why a return to the summit of the game has continued to evade them. There have been dreadful signings, bemusing managerial appointments, unprofessional squads and rivals spending vast chunks of money, among many others factors. One of the Reds' greatest Achilles heels has been...

Is this Liverpool side evolving without Henderson?

Liverpool fans love a moan whether it be over the lack of a true centre-forward in the side, a midfield lacking in goals and defensive solidity, a back-four that’s an accident waiting to happen or Klopp’s rotation policy amid a rigorous fixture schedule. However, the strongest degree of scrutiny from supporters seems to stem from...

Observations as Liverpool and Arsenal share out gifts

Liverpool were peak Liverpool, Arsenal were peak Arsenal. Four minutes and 46 seconds between their three goals.

Little else did, really. Here's what...

Arsenal 3-3 Liverpool: Player Ratings from a bizarre night at the Emirates

Liverpool’s perfect performance: Tactical masterclass?

Liverpool's demolition of Bournemouth appeared to be one of the complete performances of the season. Utterly dominant and prepotent in the first half, Liverpool romped to victory, with a pressing, passing and offensive performance which defied all expectations. https://twitter.com/Caley_graphics/status/942502495582113797 To me, Liverpool looked distinctly better with their passing.
