After dominating yet another game of football in the league but not doing enough to win it, questions need to be asked as to where our creativity is coming from. Yes, we're creating chances & should be more clinical in front of goal but are we anywhere near our fluid and devastating best...not a...
For several weeks, Liverpool's results have not quite reflected their performances, and even I was beginning to wonder whether persisting with the same approach would be the best route to a confidence-restoring win, after some disappointing results. It seems that more of the same really was the best medicine though, as Liverpool utterly trounced...
Against United, we saw the perfect example of why player performance needs to be analysed from two sides - 'on the ball' plus 'off the ball'.
Emre Can's display at Anfield on Saturday was outstanding. If you don't believe me, then please read on.
On the Ball
Can had 72 touches against United. This was the 5th...
Ah, that was nice, wasn't it? When was the last time Liverpool played and nails weren't being bitten in the minutes leading up to full-time? It was just one of those nights in Slovenia as the Reds (Weird Oranges?) put seven past a sorry Maribor. The nails were being bitten for about four minutes.
Once...
Well, that was more like it.
Liverpool have been left frustrated time and time again over the past few weeks, with poor finishing and individual errors costing them dear in both the Premier League and Champions League. However, that wasn't the case on Tuesday evening as Jurgen Klopp's side delivered a stomping away performance to...

You ask the contractor to explain why the electricity doesn’t work.  He says the electrical...

Background
This game, eh? This bloody game. Especially when it's the early kick-off on a Saturday, this bloody game. The remaining happiness levels of our weekend largely depended on the following ninety minutes of football. You could argue it shouldn't, but it does.
United arrive at Anfield seven points ahead of Liverpool...
Onto the next one and all that, but after a much better attacking performance at home to Man Utd compared to last season, it's annoying that the Reds couldn't land all three points.
A chance here, a chance there but always just a little lacking. Anyway, how did everyone get on individually?
Simon Mignolet (6/10): As...
