Liverpool defender Joel Matip feels his team will be ready to push for the three points at Burnley after having a full week of preparation following the win over Arsenal. Matip scored a late first-half header to give Liverpool a vital lead going into the break against Arsenal. Two Mohamed Salah goals sealed the 3-1 […]
The 2018/19 season has been over for a couple of weeks now, and it’s been a full month since the Premier League finished, so it seems like a good time to reflect on what was an absolutely scintillating campaign for Liverpool. Now, I wanted this list of moments to be a bit different for a […]
Ouch. Not again. This week we saw Manchester City narrowly beat Burnley which appears to have finally broken the spirit of even the most positive Liverpool fans on social media. Pair that with a soul-destroying 3-0 away defeat to the breathtaking Lionel Messi feat. Barcelona and you could be forgiven to think that Liverpool’s once […]
It doesn’t matter how they go in at this stage of the season, it just matters that they do. Toby Alderweireld’s own goal in the 90th minute gave Liverpool a potentially pivotal three points on Sunday, ensuring they returned to the top of the Premier League with six games left to play.

There’s nothing Jurgen Klopp loves more than effective counter-pressing in the opposition’s defensive third of the pitch. Klopp referred to Lallana’s challenge as a “game-changer” and a “fantastic counter-pressing block”. Lallana […]

We’ll come on to those refs in a bit, but when the line-up card came […]
Let’s cast our minds back to a cold, dark Wednesday night at Turf Moor in December. Jürgen Klopp took his Liverpool team to take on Sean Dyche’s Burnley and selected Naby Keita in central midfield for the second consecutive match after an injury lay-off had seen him reduced to watching his team mates from the […]
Jurgen Klopp gave Liverpool fans an injury update today ahead of Burnley’s visit to Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday.
