Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp gave an update on the general fitness of the first-team squad as The Reds prepare to face FC Midtjylland on Wednesday. As it turns out, there was not much to report. This season, that has to be good news as we, as Liverpool fans, have become so accustomed to hearing of […]

Jurgen Klopp’s plans have been hampered by injuries this season. At the time of writing, Liverpool have ten first-team players missing with injuries. The midfield — where Naby Keita, Thiago Alcantara, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Xherdan Shaqiri, and James Milner are all injury absences — has been particularly afflicted by set-backs. But with misfortune for some […]
After last week’s home defeat to Atalanta – Liverpool’s twelfth loss at Anfield in the European Cup/Champions League – Group D was suddenly fraught with unexpected possibilities. Jürgen Klopp’s men, amidst a biblical injury crisis, needed to settle their European affairs as soon as possible, but given the nature of recent performances and the strength […]
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson was full of praise for the team’s young stars after Tuesday night’s Champions League win over Ajax at Anfield. With Alisson Becker sustaining an injury, Jürgen Klopp made the brave decision to go with 22-year-old Caoimhin Kelleher in goals for The Reds instead of the more experienced Adrián. In defence, Neco […]
Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher impressed on his Champions League debut, helping The Reds to a 1-0 win over Dutch giants Ajax. Curtis Jones’ second-half goal was all that separated the sides at the final whistle and there was no bigger smile in Anfield than that on goalkeeper Kelleher’s face. The young Irishman played a huge part, […]
Liverpool qualified for the last sixteen of the Champions League after a 1-0 win over Ajax at Anfield. Curtis Jones scored the only goal of a scrappy game as the rotated and depleted Reds dug deep to seal the victory. The three points — plus Midtjylland drawing away to Atalanta — means the 2019 Champions […]
Liverpool meet Dutch giants Ajax tonight at Anfield in the Champions League. Jürgen Klopp has more difficult decisions to make regarding his starting eleven. James Milner was the latest Liverpool player to be added to The Reds’ ever-growing injury list after picking up an injury against Brighton in Saturday’s 1-1 draw. Milner will therefore miss […]

Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta is a fascinating side. In their 0-5 loss to Liverpool at the Bergamo Stadium they displayed a number of interesting tactical concepts that in themselves were reasonable, astute and innovative, but were ruthlessly dismembered by a Klopp side at its cutting edge best. Central to that performance was the ability of […]
