After the business was taken care off in style in European competition on Wednesday, Liverpool return to Premier League action with something maybe a little more serious at stake - local bragging rights. Also, the continued singing of "Merry Christmas, Everton!" over the festive period.
There is no time to sit back and rest on...
Since September, in our match analyses, we've concluded more often than not that Liverpool's performances have warranted better scorelines, that the underlying performances have actually been rather good, even despite the growing discontent with Jürgen Klopp's side through October as the team struggled, with a particular low-point against Spurs, and even into November as...

Liverpool have been in blistering form, lately. The last three games all ended in victory for the Reds with 15 scored and 1 conceded in those matches. In their last five...
When the final whistle blew at Wembley Stadium on October 22nd, there was a feeling of complete and utter dejection if you were a Liverpool fan.
The Reds had been battered 4-1 by Tottenham, and on an afternoon that saw Dejan Lovren fall to pieces, Simon Mignolet make errors and the entire team show a...
Over the years and certainly in the Premier League era, Liverpool fans have become accustomed to defence first football. The Liverpool of the Premier League have played football that is predominately tight, cautious, balanced and astute. There's nothing wrong with that defence first mentality, but how many league titles did it result in? None.
Arguably...
Horses for courses
With Jurgen Klopp showing an encouraging level of pragmatism following the Spurs game, he deserves a great deal of credit. Whilst his squad is not yet at the level he would want, he is maximising what he has at his disposal.
An interesting recent tactical development is the use of the 442, arguably...
Liverpool ran riot on a famous and record-breaking night at Anfield, putting Spartak Moscow to the sword to secure their second 7-0 win of the group stage and cruise into the Last 16 of the Champions League as group winners. So what were the key stats from the night?
Clinical Reds Don’t Dominate

Absolutely joyful football from Jurgen's last 16 Reds as Liverpool bounce into the knockout stages of the Champions League, top of the group and on top of the world after another devastating win. 17 goals in 7 days. Mustard.
From Coutinho's slick penalty early on to Mo Salah capping his night off with a goal,...

The stage was set at Anfield. The knockout stages of the Champions League awaited the victors. A win for Liverpool would also guarantee top spot in the group. Draw, and the Reds would probably slip into second place as Sevilla were widely expected to defeat Maribor in their final game, also tonight....
Loris Karius - 6
Didn't have all that much to do due to the brilliance of Liverpool's front four. However, there was one shaky moment in the first-half for the German goalkeeper who rushed off his line to close down a promising Spartak attack - a rather reckless decision albeit one that resulted in a...
With their star-studded performance against Stoke, Sadio Mane and Mo Salah were once again the men in the lights. Salah, in particular, has seen himself lauded after just about every Liverpool game, following a phenomenal November, in which he scored eight goals from six games. Mane meanwhile, has once again been reminding Liverpool fans...
Football fans as a whole love to criticise players right from the get-go, as was the case when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joined Liverpool in the summer. Moving from Arsenal for a reported fee of £35million, he was labelled a flop after failing to catch the eye after coming on as a sub. Question marks were...
Dominic Solanke was given his first Premier League start in Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Stoke City in midweek, replacing Roberto Firmino upfront as Jurgen Klopp shook his side up to contend with an increasingly gruelling fixture list and it proved to be a chance well taken from the former-Chelsea man.
Deployed through the middle, Solanke...
There are times when supporting this team can be a chore.
I doubt there is a fan base in the world that has quite so much internal bickering than ours. The whole #lfcfamily hashtag is magnificent of irony, unless, of course, its creation is to illustrate how much families fight over the smallest thing.
Yesterday afternoon...
With six wins and two draws by a combined score of 25-6, Liverpool supporters can safely close the chapter on a poor run of form that ran through late September and October.

The Reds won 5-1 on the South Coast to move 4th in the Premier League, but which stats (or sets of stats), stood out for me?

As Liverpool's fixture list becomes increasingly congested with the Reds facing the prospect of a game every three days or so, the time is right to ask whether Liverpool can compete on both domestic and European fronts. With Man City over 10 points ahead of Liverpool it is unrealistic to suggest we can win...

Despite Liverpool actually doing fairly well this season, some of the negativity surrounding the team would make you think they are in Everton’s current plight.
It hasn’t been a memorable campaign so far, and some nights have been ruined by poor displays and late capitulations, but just one defeat in 13 matches suggests the Reds...
I've criticised Jurgen Klopp quite often this season, in all honesty.
I like the guy, I think he's pretty much everything I want in terms of how I'd like a Liverpool manager to act and conduct himself, he 'gets it'.
Part of that, is probably what makes me criticise him more than I should. I want...

Brighton were hoping to prey on Liverpool's dire recent away record against newly promoted sides. Liverpool were looking for their dire away record against newly promoted sides to not continue.

Liverpool recorded back to back wins on the road as the Reds put 5 past a hapless Brighton defence. There were many bright spots on the Reds' side, but below are the major takeaways from the game:

Liverpool picked up another three points on Saturday afternoon, showing off their flair on the counter-attack to ease past Brighton & Hove Albion with a 5-1 victory.

With an 83rd minute Suarez-esque strike that left Stoke’s centre-backs with heads in hands, Mo Salah broke through yet another barrier for Liverpool. This mark though might have gone unnoticed amongst the Egyptian’s long list of accolades.
More than one-third of the way into the season, the Reds have tallied 28 goals, third most in...
It was brilliant to see the Premier League turn rainbow this week. You might think this has happened before and it’s easy to be cynical, “what are some shoelaces and multicoloured flags going to do!?”, but this is an important moment for football.

Has Jurgen Klopp finally started to get the hang of rotation? Or is this another false dawn? Against Chelsea, both Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane were rested, as Klopp made some big changes from the side that drew with Sevilla. Then against Stoke, Klopp left Phil Coutinho and Mo Salah out of the starting...
After letting two leads slip at the death in two straight games against Sevilla and Chelsea, Liverpool got two late goals of their own to embellish a 3-0 win on a stereotypical "cold, Wednesday night in Stoke". Mo Salah continued his fantastic form with two more goals, and Jurgen Klopp also managed to rest...
