Sadio Mane is more than just the second line of a viral song about Liverpool F.C’s frontline.

From start to finish, Liverpool's Premier League tie with Manchester City was electric. Essentially, two very similar schools of tactical thinking came together, and on this occasion, Klopp's relentless pressing from the front, numerical overloads, and astute counter-pressing positioning came out on top.

Sunday morning, a few hours before Liverpool kicked off against Manchester City, I was just about done.

As the 24-year-old was sat preparing for the Reds’ eagerly-anticipated clash with Man City, his former club were blowing a lead and suffering defeat at Bournemouth, languishing in sixth-place in the...

Distractions are something no manager ever wants to deal with. The narrative for so many seasons gone awry at Liverpool or anywhere in sport usually surrounds a player dispute or an underlying negative that eventually pulled the whole team down.
Back in 2015, around this time of year, reality started to set in that the...
Liverpool saw off Manchester City in an absolutely staggering 4-3 win that might well rank as one of their best performances under Jürgen Klopp. But what were the key stats from this incredible game of football?
Finishing Levels: Insane

Liverpool were in a rampant mood on Sunday afternoon as they handed Manchester City their first Premier League defeat of the season in a thrilling 4-3 contest.
The Reds...
Trying to compile my thoughts rationally and not give everyone a 10/10 will be difficult, but I'll do my best.
Seriously though, wow! Manchester City are one hell of a football team, but Liverpool aren't too bad either. Of course, The Reds do their thing and make it hard for themselves after being 4-1 up,...
