Fulham 1 Liverpool 2: Match Report
A day that could have been full of drama, in the end, went as expected for Liverpool Football Club. Oh, how we know this feeling in our stomachs went this club tends to make a meal of things that should have been much simpler.
The match started on a somewhat cautious note by both teams, but in general Fulham FC started the way people have come to expect of them, on the front foot. They had a shade more bit of …
Fear in the Presence of Success
Like it or not, fear, in many forms, has been riddled throughout the supporter ranks since January. Looking at a Premier League title and a Champions League trophy hanging in the balance of the next two months, understandably so. What's needed instead, however, is an emotion that seems to be lacking in most corners of the internet at the moment.
Calm.
This isn’t an article about heavy statistics like expected goals or Premier League schedule analysis. Instead, a plea: let’s breathe …
Match Report: Liverpool march on in Munich
In the days leading up to the match, all of the talk was about Naby Keita’s lack of playing time and then his reported injury. Then the line-up card came out and it was lacking the other midfield addition, sending Liverpool supporters into meltdown. Even the captain was upset that he got picked ahead of Fabinho, apparently.
With a Henderson, Milner, Wijnaldum midfield everyone expected us to come out pressing our arse off, but a collision with that colossus, James …

Going to the Allianz Arena and coming away with a 3-1 win despite looking in third gear all night is evidence of the unit Jurgen Klopp has put together. Into the Champions League quarter finals with a …

Naby Keita: The key to a good performance against Burnley
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 side-lines.
Keita had enjoyed a solid start to the season for the Reds, but injuries disrupted things for him, but he came in against Burnley …
Klopp's PlayStation Midfield
You know, I’d already got this article in my brain long before I saw this tweet from Michael Caley, the brain behind Caley Graphics xG maps. Caley is a brilliant football analyst and the insight that he offers in this tweet backs up other data that I’ve seen in other places, but the simple fact is as follows.
Nevertheless, before I get into some of that data, I want to outline the point of this article. Klopp has been tinkering …

Jurgen Klopp's Redmen have still only lost one league game all season. However, if they continue …
Everton 0-0 Liverpool: What went wrong?
A goalless draw at Old Trafford last weekend meant Liverpool's once-comfortable lead at the top of the Premier League table had been whittled down to nothing. They no longer had any margin for error. But it was a case of mistakes aplenty in the Merseyside Derby, and now the title race is out of their hands.
The Reds preserved their 17th clean sheet with relative ease, but paid for a lack of creativity and, most of all, composure. In truth, …
Klopp's Liverpool Can Look Beyond May For Success
The panic has started to set in. The nerves of a proper title race are jangling. Liverpool had a four-point lead at the top of the table, which could have been extended to seven, but instead, four draws in six games see it now as a deficit by a single point, leaving the title race on a knife-edge with nice games to go.
Now the reactions have been somewhere between outright panic – people already saying the title is lost …
