Laboured Liverpool Fall To Anfield Defeat To Everton
Liverpool fell to their first Anfield Merseyside derby league defeat to Everton since 1999 after a 2-0 reversal against their neighbours. The loss means the defending champions have now lost four home league games on the spin.
Goals from Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurðsson condemned the Reds to defeat after an insipid, lifeless performance from the hosts. Injuries and VAR controversy -- the two banes of Liverpool's season -- reared their ugly heads again with Jordan Henderson being forced off with …

The truth behind Liverpool’s drought
Liverpool’s goal drought never really bothered me. Some went to the extreme, claiming the system had been found out and Jurgen Klopp needed to make wholesale changes to get them firing again. In truth, it was a mixture of bad luck and bad finishing. I wrote about it in detail for work.
The Reds had the chances, but they kept falling to the wrong players. Liverpool’s system and success is built on ensuring certain players get the volume required to …
Stop Playing Thiago As The 6, Liverpool
The medium to long term losses of Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk and the continued inconsistencies in Joel Matip's fitness record doesn't only impact Liverpool in defence.
Of course, regularly not having three defenders of that calibre is harmful to a team's prospects of keeping clean sheets. But it's the Reds' midfield that has borne the brunt of the defences injuries.
Fabinho, who has excelled in the new role that he's learned on the hoof, has had to moonlight …

Xherdan Shaqiri: What Role Will The Swiss Maestro Play Against Manchester United?
Xherdan Shaqiri fell out of favour last season. However, Liverpool have lacked a creative spark over their last three games and, with a crunch clash coming up against Manchester United, it is integral they find it again. Shaqiri looked sharp in the FA Cup last Friday, and may be the man to reignite The Reds.
But will he feature from the start, as a substitute, or will Klopp opt for another player in his place?
Shaqiri's finest moment in a …
Trent continues to emulate Gerrard after slump in form at 22
The date was November 12th, 2002, and Liverpool needed to win away to FC Basel to get through their Champions League group.
Gerard Houllier's men found themselves 3-0 down before the half-hour mark had even arrived, with one player worse than anyone else on the pitch.
That man's name? Steven Gerrard.
He was wretched in Switzerland, spraying passes out of play and generally performing like someone devoid of all confidence and focus.
A dreadful 45 minutes from Gerrard saw him …
