Adam Lallana: The Poster Boy for Doubters to Believers
Believe it or not, Adam Lallana's turnaround in form hasn't gone down well with some people. Scan social media and you'll see squabbles between people with Lallana being the antagonist. The crux of it all comes down to Lallana's miraculous upturn in terms of output.
So far this season the Liverpool number 20 has 7 goals and 6 assists. Even more impressive when you consider the fact he's starting in a more withdrawn role than what people usually associate with …
Loris Karius: Doomed to fail, or just a rough start?
It's not talked about enough, but changing football clubs is hard. Moving to a club like Liverpool as a 23 year old and immediately taking a place in the spotlight as the starting goalkeeper is a lot more intimidating than most like to acknowledge. The most common retort to statements like this usually is along the lines of, "Well he's a professional, so he should get on with his job." This does hold some truth, but if you ask me, …
Observations from Liverpool's Win against Middlesbrough
The lead up to the Middlesbrough game was odd. On one hand you had people just looking at the Premier League table and expecting Liverpool to just roll over the home side. On the other hand you had those who, because negativity had set into their mindset, were convinced the match would be like Burnley but ten times worse.
The fact the Reds started with the same back five from the match against Burnley only added fuel to the fire. Loris …
Middlesbrough 0 Liverpool 3 - Player Ratings
Liverpool returned to winning ways with a first win at the Riverside Stadium since 2002. A brace from Adam Lallana and a Divock Origi goal brought the Reds a first win in three games.
Jurgen Klopp would have wanted a response from his side after far from ideal results against Bournemouth and West Brom and the team delivered with a slick display of attacking football, especially in the second-half.
Simon Mignolet - 7
This game was a tribute to the …
Liverpool vs The Pundits: Klopp, Karius, Carragher & the Nevilles!
During the 2012 European Championships, ITV ran a panel which included Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane and, I think, Gareth Southgate. Hosted by Adrian Chiles, the topic under discussion was just how difficult it is to play as a single defensive midfielder in a diamond formation as opposed to a more standard one of a pair in a 4-2-3-1. Carragher warmed to his topic and said something like:
‘You’ve got to deal with your centre-backs as they’ll push without you at …
Nathaniel Clyne: Do Liverpool Need More From The Reds’ Mr Consistent?
Make no bones about it, Nathaniel Clyne has been one of Liverpool’s best signings of this decade. He may even be one of their best since the turn of the century, when you weigh up how hit-and-miss the Reds have been in the transfer market.
Clyne has been hugely dependable ever since joining from Southampton for £12.5million in 2014, never looking daunted by the pressure of representing such a huge club, and slotting into the defence seamlessly. The fact that …
Potential Serie A Talent For Liverpool In The January Window
Since Jürgen Klopp took the seat at Anfield as manager last October, Liverpool could not have asked for a better situation to be sitting in as we creep closer to year's end.
As it stands, Klopp's resurgent Reds are sitting pretty in the league table (3rd), three points behind Arsenal for second and six from Chelsea in first. On the contrary, Liverpool are coming off a 2-2 draw with West Ham at Anfield, Philippe Coutinho is out indefinitely and the absence of …
Middlesbrough vs Liverpool Preview: Return to form required
Middlesbrough away, a cold and dark trip to the North in midweek isn't perhaps the ideal outing in which to arrest recent form, but that's the one that Liverpool have as the Reds look to pick up what would be just their second league win in five games.
THE DETAILS
Match: Middlesbrough vs Liverpool
Venue: Riverside Stadium
Date: Wednesday 14th December

Middlesbrough vs Liverpool Preview - Key Battles
After getting only one point in the last two games, despite scoring five goals in those games, Liverpool head to the North-East to face Middlesbrough at the Riverside.
The Reds last visit to Boro's home was a forgettable one in February 2009, as they lost 2-0 in a loss that cost them ground in the title race that season.
Right now, Boro are struggling to show goals. With 13 goals in their 15 games they are the league's lowest scorers.

Decisive December? - Crucial Month for Liverpool's Season
Everyone always says that nothing is won in December, and they'd be absolutely right, but things can certainly be lost over the busy Christmas period. Between now and the FA Cup Third Round on the first weekend in the New Year, the Reds will play six matches - including the visit of West Ham United on Sunday 11th. This includes a trip to Goodison in the first Merseyside derby of the season plus the visit of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.
