From 2007 until the last summer, Liverpool had no. 21 who divided opinion. A little-known Brazilian kid came from Gremio, the jeers from his own fans made him stronger, and when he left for Italy in the summer, the jeers turned into love.
No one has quite divided Liverpool fans' opinion in recent times like...
Liverpool’s visit on Saturday sees them encounter a team with a baffling array of form.
Many Reds will look at the Hammers’ incredible turnaround at Wembley against Spurs in the Carabao Cup and wonder just which West Ham will turn up. That night, on the same ground where Liverpool failed miserably days earlier, Andre Ayew...
Three goals, three points and an efficient performance. The Reds are back, kind of, with the Champions League last 16 well in sight.
From the top of the main stand, where I sat for the first time (pleasantly surprised at noise), what did I observe?
Daniel Sturridge
Yes, I’m starting with a substitute scoring in the last...
Liverpool produced a carbon copy of the weekend performance against Huddersfield, to put themselves in control of Group E in the UEFA Champions League. After an insipid first-half display, goals from Mo Salah, Emre Can and Daniel Sturridge gave the Reds a 3-0 win over a plucky Maribor in the rather quiet confines of...

Date:Â 1/11/17
Venue: Anfield, Liverpool
Background
Liverpool came into this game as hot favourites after disposing of the same opposition 7-0 in Slovenia two weeks ago. They could all-but-guarantee qualification to the knockout stages with three points tonight and maintain pole position at the top of the group ahead of Sevilla. Klopp would have the opportunity to...
It’s fair to say that Liverpool haven’t been brilliant of late. Before the 3-0 win over Huddersfield on Saturday Jurgen Klopp’s team had won twice in their last 10 games. This included frustrating draws to Newcastle, Spartak Moscow, Burnley and Sevilla and away embarrassments to City and Spurs. While the first half performance didn’t...

Form
Since the 7-0 win in Slovenia, Liverpool have again displayed some jarring inconsistencies in their team performances. They were well beaten at Wembley by Spurs while showing a more patient, professional side...
My 3 part series "The Klopp Project" discussed some of the context around the club's current position and fortunes. Context is one thing, but the Spurs debacle at Wembley (Huddersfield result notwithstanding) put some things into perspective.
It is undeniable that LFC and, perhaps more pertinently, Jurgen Klopp stands at a crossroad. It almost beggars...
Remember Freshman year of college? OK, do you remember the people at least? You probably knew that guy/girl who came in as Pre-Med and four years later, ended up barely squeaking through with a Communications degree. Great guy, but keg races and frat house hijinks were more his thing than Friday nights in the...
It was coming. Somebody was due a thrashing from the twenty-odd shots a game Redmen. Unfortunately for Liverpool's Champions League opponents Maribor, they were the unlucky recipients. They were well and truly put to the torch. Liverpool's 7-0 victory the highest away score of any English team in Europe, in history.
