On Monday night the Champions travelled down to St Mary’s to face a depleted Southampton side, who were without a number of key players, such as Alex McCarthy, Oriol Romeu and Ché Adams. The Saints lined up in a 4-4-2, in which they looked to press Liverpool’s backline. Ralph Hassenhutl’s team were also instructed to […]
Jurgen Klopp switched it up against Southampton. It’s very rare to see him spring a surprise like that, but he has done it previously. I’m not entirely sure if this one was forced on him due to injuries and players needing a rest or whether he thought this tactic would work against the Saints. We’ll […]
Liverpool’s title success was built on ‘finding a way to win’, but their title defence has been hamstrung by their repeated failure to do so. It wasn’t a vintage performance but it should have been enough to take the three points. The Reds have been left two reflect on the two glorious opportunities they squandered. […]
After a seemingly huge victory against José Mourinho’s Spurs side on Wednesday night, Liverpool travelled to quiet Selhurst Park on a cold Saturday morning, warmed by the comforting knowledge that a win would establish a six-point lead over Spurs, even if only for a few hours. The quick turnaround between fixtures saw Jürgen Klopp make […]
Curtis Jones’ meteoric rise continued last Wednesday as the youngster played a vital role in Liverpool’s 2-1 top of the table victory over Spurs at Anfield. The 19-year-old’s all-action showing — which is quickly becoming his trademark — gave the Reds a platform to move back to the top of the table with a deserved […]
This extraordinary season continues to surprise us all. On Thursday night, Spurs travelled to Anfield, atop the Premier League. Notwithstanding the champions’ 65 match unbeaten run in the league at home, Anfield has been a particularly unwelcoming place for the visitors in recent years. Especially for their manager, José Mourinho, a man who has attracted […]
Injuries to the defence have hampered Liverpool so far this season, even if it has barely shown on the respective Premier League and Champions League tables. An injury sustained by Virgil van Dijk in the Merseyside derby was the beginning of a run of rotten luck with injuries that is unprecedented in its scale in […]
Liverpool moved to the summit of the Premier League table after beating Tottenham Hotspurs 2-1 in the first versus second clash at Anfield. Heung Min Son had equalised for the uber defensive visitors after a deflected Mohamed Salah strike gave the Reds a more than deserved lead. Then, in stoppage time at the end of […]
Liverpool remain level at the top of the Premier League table after a 1-1 draw away to Fulham. After both Spurs and Manchester City dropped points this weekend, the Reds knew a win at Craven Cottage would give them breathing space at the summit of the league. But a fatigued performance saw them fortunate to […]
It’s December, and that means I can get my Nuno Espirito Santa joke out once more. But the greatest present at Anfield on Sunday night was the presence of fans in the stadium. The Premier League champions, shorn of home support since March, finally had the adulation they deserved. Despite only 2000 fans being allowed […]
