After a midweek pick-me-up against Burton Albion on Tuesday evening, Liverpool get stuck back into Premier League action on Saturday with their third league game of the season, away at Tottenham Hotspur.
It's Liverpool's third straight away game before the international break, and it's after Saturday's game that fans can look forward to Anfield's expanded...
Jurgen Klopp's pressing style of play and high-attacking philosophy can leave Liverpool's full-back in a vulnerable position if the whole team does not execute the strategy perfectly.
Alberto Moreno has come under huge criticism recently due to a string of mistakes in Liverpool's opening fixture against Arsenal, following on from a number of poor performances...
Liverpool’s start to their 2016/17 Premier League campaign has, with pinpoint accuracy, summed up what fans have come to expect from Jurgen Klopp’s reds – inconsistency. A breath-taking attacking performance that was enough to see off top four rivals Arsenal was followed by a toothless display away at Burley and, unfortunately, it is from...
Upon the announcement of Georginio Wijnaldum from Newcastle United last month, Jurgen Klopp has praised the Dutchman's ability to play in a number of positions on the pitch. Taking a step back and looking at our squad, you can just see exactly how any player within the team could easily move to a different...
Jurgen Klopp named an almost first-choice Liverpool XI for the trip to Burton. After the defeat to Burnley it was a chance for the Reds to boost their confidence, build up fitness, familiarise themselves with Klopp's demands and score a few goals ahead of the big game away to Spurs this weekend. It was...
Burnley dispatched Liverpool with relative ease this weekend. No matter what the stats or the media say a 2-0 scoreline didn't flatter them. Liverpool may have had 81% of the possession but Burnley, to use a Brendan Rodgers phrase "dictated the space". Liverpool never really looked like scoring and Burnley looked as though it was a...
The early stages of any football season are difficult to assess accurately. Teams are all coming off of pre season schedules with different demands in terms of travel and commitments to various sponsors. Star players are also often behind their colleagues in terms of preparation time following international matches or competitions.
In matchday one Liverpool...
Liverpool fans have been starved of 10.30pm news for weeks now but after the news broke that the club were open to loaning out Mamadou Sakho many fans were left ruing their recent demands for transfer news. Sakho is by no means a fan favourite and the suspension towards the end of last season...
Set the scene. Liverpool are clear at the top of the Premier League table, Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge are on course to become the league's top goal-scorers and Steven Gerrard has had statistically one of his strongest seasons in a Liverpool shirt. It was all going so well for the Reds in the...
The travelling Kop, together with Liverpool fans across the seven corners of the world have expected another exceptional showing from their team after witnessing the Reds return home from London on a high off of a massive victory against Arsenal at the Emirates. They travelled to Burnley on high hopes, only to spectate on...
Same shit different season. It wasn't supposed to be like this, a full Jurgen Klopp pre-season was supposed to get the Reds in the right frame of mind to blitz the Premier League. No European distractions and reinforcements arrived in the summer. If there were any positions / areas Klopp wasn't happy with he's...
Liverpool delivered yet another Jekyll and Hyde performance at the Turf Moor, as they ended on the wrong side of the scoreline in spite of having the ball pretty much the whole game. Liverpool struggled to break down a very resolute Burnley defence and need to go back to the drawing board.
Let's see how the...
Liverpool will be hoping for a calmer three points this week, as they head to Turf Moor to take on Burnley in their second game of the 2016-17 Premier League season.
The game was initially meant to be played at Anfield, but due to the Main Stand developments, the two clubs agreed to flip the...
Gameweek one is done. We've dissected all of what happened, and I think we can agree that despite getting the three points against Arsenal, there are chinks in Liverpool's armour that we need to sort as we go along.
The first step to addressing those chinks will be against Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday. This...
Odds are if you ask a random Liverpool fan what part of their squad needs an upgrade they'll say the left-back position. Alberto Moreno is the current incumbent of the role and despite being at the club for two seasons he's still yet to really nail the position down as his own. A series of...
Liverpool were supreme against Arsenal on the opening weekend of the 2016/17 Premier League season but Jurgen Klopp knows that there is still plenty of work to be done before the Reds can be regarded as genuine title contenders. After all, it would be foolish to get carried away after just one competitive fixture...
Liverpool go into the 2016/17 season with the best attack that they have had in a number of years, with a number of genuine high quality options across all positions.
Although there is much more to any attacking player than two stats, ultimately they are judged on two things: goals and assists. Therefore to gage...
Support is needed now more than ever
This past weekend showed the best and the worst from our players on the pitch. It also showed the positives and negatives of our own fan-behaviour off it.
At this stage I’m tired of hearing about Alberto Moreno’s shortcomings. I was guilty of voicing these concerns myself on...
After the humbling of Barcelona last weekend many Liverpool fans thought the Reds would fly out of the traps against a weakened Arsenal side. What fans witnessed in those opening 45 minutes was the complete opposite. A dozy opening 45 minutes saw Arsenal mount attack after attack and look destined to take a 1-0...
Liverpool have a habit of scoring some pretty damn good goals on the opening day of the season, but not many will surpass Sadio Mane’s effort against Arsenal.
In a hybrid midfield role, Adam Lallana won the ball inside the Liverpool half near the right flank, and without looking up, instinctively chipped a pass in behind Nacho...
How was it for you?
I won’t lie to you. I’m still in shock. I’m not sure what happened at the Emirates yesterday, but when things calm down and the bruises on my toes fade (Alberto Moreno/skirting board incident) I’ll hopefully be able to wrap some reason and sense around Arsenal 3 Liverpool 4.
Personally, the...
Since his arrival from Benfica two summers ago for a healthy £20 million, the word which best describes Serbian wide man Lazar Marković has almost universally been "frustrating."
In his debut season he struggled to break into the first team, despite inconsistent performances from fellow new-boy Adam Lallana. While Lallana struggled to get into promising positions...
Liverpool opened up the new season with an impressive victory at the Emirates Stadium beating Arsenal 4-3. Liverpool went behind after half an hour but provided more evidence that Jurgen Klopp is turning around this Liverpool side as they fought back to lead 4-1. Arsenal mounted a mini-comeback but it wasn't to be as...
Jurgen Klopp has refused to rule out any incomings between now and the end of the transfer window. There's still hope within the fan base that the Reds will bring in a left-back to displace/challenge Alberto Moreno as well as a controlling/tempo setting midfielder to turn a 7/10 window into a potential 9/10 window....
Liverpool failed to take advantage of the Premier League Giants last year and had a poor season start themselves. It was a perfect storm that resulted in Leicester winning the trophy, but Klopp managed to turn the ship around. The German didn’t have enough time to undo all the harm done before he arrived,...
The Premier League is back with a bang and in typical Liverpool fashion the Reds made their fans sweat on a result when it could've been much more comfortable. You could look at the negatives if you're that way inclined but, for me at least, it was a performance filled with positives and they're...
What a start! What a start! An absolutely rousing display from the Reds at the Emirates Stadium left Arsenal shell-shocked and saw Jürgen Klopp's men complete a brilliant comeback after falling behind to a Theo Walcott goal and generally being shoddy in all aspects in the first half.
Here is how I thought each of...
Going from “we’re going to win the league” after beating Barcelona 4-0, to the outlook being doom and gloom within just 24 hours after losing to Mainz by the same scoreline is precisely why I try not to read too much into pre-season friendlies. They are essentially just for fitness, integrating new players and...
One ingredient missing from Liverpool's attack in recent years is raw unadulterated pace. With the £30 million signing of Sadio Manè, from Southampton, he brings this essential, game changing ability to this side. It was clear Jürgen Klopp was looking for an attacker who provided pace, with Ousmane Dembele and Leroy Sane strongly scouted,...
Liverpool travel to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal on Sunday, as their 2016/17 Premier League season finally gets underway, 88 days after last season ended with the Europa League final defeat to Sevilla.
Pre-season form
Much has changed since then, not least in terms of transfers, with Jürgen Klopp seeing a huge overhaul in terms...
