Keita Provides Liverpool Timely Reminder
Let's face it, if we're calling a spade a spade, Naby Keita has not lived up to his billing since his highly publicised move from Red Bull Leipzig.
The midfielder failing as yet to be the potential superstar prophesied by many familiar with the Bundesliga is not black and white, however; there is a large area grey area of nuance to consider when assessing his time at Anfield so far.
The real stumbling block for Keita has been injuries and …
Bournemouth 0-3 Liverpool: A Tactical Breakdown
Ho Ho Ho. Christmas has come early.
Liverpool are finally back at their attacking best.
Now, with eight goals in two games, and both Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané in searingly hot form, it seems Liverpool have their attacking mojo back. This is seriously ominous news for the rest of the league, given Liverpool had only dropped two points without even hitting their stride.
Whilst Liverpool's results over the opening fourteen league games was two points away from being perfect, …
Dejan Lovren injury update
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp doesn't believe Dejan Lovren's injury will keep the Croatian international centre-back out for too long.
Lovren has proved to be a steady replacement for the injured Joel Matip who is not expected back for another couple of weeks at least.
In the 3-0 win at Bournemouth on Saturday, Lovren went off in the first half under the guidance of the physio team - Lovren himself wanted to play on until half-time and have it assessed then.

Set-Pieces and Dark Arts: Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool
Liverpool managed to extend their 100% record with a win over Chelsea on Sunday, and while the result deserves praise, the Reds were quite poor with and without the ball. It seemed obvious amidst the second half that Liverpool were shattered, both mentally and physically. Loose passes and leggy ground covering showed that the trip to Naples had taken its toll. What's important, though, is that Liverpool managed to pick up 3 points in a fixture that ended the very …

Alisson has been in brilliant form throughout the season for the Reds, conceding just 34 goals …
Balance the Key to Fixing Liverpool's 4-3-3
At the start of the season, before a ball had been kicked, the assumption was that Liverpool would end the season with a first choice midfield of Fabinho, Keita and one other midfielder. Liverpool’s two new, big money, acquisitions were expected to dominate the team sheet sooner or later, and the question of which of the remaining trio – Milner, Henderson or Wijnaldum – would fit the third midfield slot.
Since then, that particular question has been rather emphatically answered …
