Liverpool Fall To Record Fifth Home Defeat In A Row in Chelsea Loss

Liverpool fell to club-record fifth consecutive Premier League home defeat with a 1-0 loss to Chelsea at Anfield. Mason Mount's first-half goal separated the teams in a result that could well prove a hammer blow to the Reds' Champions League qualification prospects. Controversy ensued when Jurgen Klopp replaced Mohamed Salah late on, despite the Egyptian looking...

Tactical Breakdown: Sheffield United 0-2 Liverpool

Liverpool ended a run of four consecutive league defeats with a 2-0 away victory at Bramall Lane. Tactically, they made a few changes, but their performance was mostly in step with recent matches. Setting up in their native 4-3-3, with the unchanged front three supported by a midfield three of Jones, Wijnaldum and Thiago. In defence...

Why Sadio Mane partnered Roberto Firmino in attack

Jurgen Klopp has tried a number of different things with this Liverpool team over the past month or so, from two false-9s against Spurs, a diamond against West Ham and then whatever that was against Sheffield United. The shape in the latter was a big talking point.  On paper, it was a 4-3-3, in practice,...

Curtis Jones & The Benefit Of Acting His Age

In many ways, this season has been a trainwreck for Liverpool. Hampered by a mountainous injury list, mostly concentrated on their central defensive stock, the Reds have relinquished their title to Manchester City without as much as a whimper. The Anfield team, far from retaining their title, are now primed for a fight for Champions League...

Old School Wingers: Liverpool’s Next Stage of Evolution.

The 433 formation has served Liverpool well over the years. A feature of this shape has been the use of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah -- the wide forwards that spearhead the Reds' attack -- on their ''wrong'' sides, the left-footed Salah on the right, and the right-footed Mane on the left. It has been tactically...

Liverpool’s midfield vs Chelsea: A selection headache at long last

There was much to admire about Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Sheffield United, as the Reds made a welcome return to winning ways. Adrian, Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak largely did well against a physical Blades attack, while Trent Alexander-Arnold looked somewhere close to his best again. Gini Wijnaldum and Thiago purred in midfield, the front-three looked...

Liverpool’s New Shape

To put it bluntly, Liverpool dominated Sheffield United. In previous games against the Blades, it’s been a struggle and the Reds have needed to dig deep to eke out wins. This game wasn’t like that, though. It finished 2-0 but it could’ve easily have been 5-0. In fact, it probably should’ve been.  Jurgen Klopp, to...
