Why Klopp opted for Kelleher over Adrian
A few weeks back now, Jamie Carragher analysed what has happened to Liverpool’s defensive line since Virgil van Dijk’s injury on Monday Night Football. There was a belief that without the Dutchman, the Reds would retreat a little. There have been subtle tweaks but these haven’t been anywhere near as drastic as many had expected.
In his feature, Carragher talked about the backline’s preemptive positioning. Without the recovery pace of Van Dijk and Joe Gomez, Liverpool have stopped trying to …
Tactical Breakdown: Brighton 1-1 Liverpool
Before looking at tactics I think it's important to preface any tactical discussion within the unique circumstances players, managers and clubs find themselves in, especially Liverpool FC.
Jürgen Klopp's team is currently in the midst of a season in which their pre-season was disrupted, their transfer plans unexpectedly affected and in which games are being played at a faster rate than I can write them up. The nature of this campaign has resulted in a number of decisions being made …

"Very frustrating, especially the way it's happened in the last couple of minutes. Hard to take. "It feels unfair at …
Injuries and VAR distract from below-par performances
It's hard to believe that Liverpool are on the cusp of the Round of 16 in the Champions League and sitting pretty among the early pace-setters in the Premier League.

Yes, it was a draw away at a side you would expect Liverpool to be beating, but it really should have been a win for Klopp's side.
An incredibly unjust penalty decision …

Liverpool's likely lineup to face Brighton tonight
Liverpool travel to face Brighton in the Premier League tonight with the aim of breaking Manchester City's 100-points record haul still firmly in sight. We've had a look at the possible starting eleven for The Reds.

Adrian was on the bench and not expect to be called into action so late in the game. However, when Liverpool's first-choice 'keeper Alisson received a straight red card for handling the ball outside the box, Adrian had to come on.
