A Look at Liverpool Target Sead Kolasinac

According to German publication Bild, Liverpool have reignited their interest in left-back Sead Kolasinac with a view to signing the Schalke player on a pre-contract deal in January. Kolasinac was linked with a move to Anfield last season at various stages but nothing materialised. However, with the player's contract status he now looks like an...

Coutinho & Firmino: Majestic Brazilians Bringing The Good Times Back

There was a time during the Roy Hodgson era when the thought of Liverpool having two dazzling Brazilians in their ranks felt little more than a pipe dream. Any flair that once existed at the club had ebbed away. We were having to put up with a years-past-his-peak Joe Cole, the dullest footballer in history...

Tactics: Liverpool’s Attacking Fluidity Overwhelms Palace’s Defensive Unit

As we approach the beginning of November you can start to see the Premier League table take shape. The early weeks of the season are spent with teams striving to find their feet and deal with any lingering fitness or personnel issues.

Jurgen’s Plan B Sticking To Plan A

Disclaimer- Despite the positive performance and result using our second string side against Spurs last Tuesday, I am aware that we did beat a Spurs reserve team who have an eye and a half on the Champions League and these boys will face up to tougher opponents. During Mauricio Pochettinos post-match press conference after Liverpool's EFL...

Did a tactical tweak help Liverpool beat Palace?

Liverpool's victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday evening was a bit of a whirlwind performance. It highlighted the very best of Jurgen Klopp's revamped Reds side whilst simultaneously exposing to the world their glaring frailties. At times it almost felt like Liverpool's attack versus their defence. It had a 2013/14 sort of feel to...

Sturridge Has a Place in the Team, But He Might Not Like It

I think I’ve pointed out in the past that I love this man. Daniel Sturridge, in my opinion, is the most natural finisher England have got. Forget Harry Kane, forget Jamie Vardy, forget Marcus Rashford. Sturridge is the best finisher of the lot. Those three all have their qualities but none can quite stick the...

“El Pistolero”: Luis Suárez’s Ascent To Fame At Liverpool

January 31, 2011, it's Deadline Day of the latest winter transfer window in Europe, and rumours of a possible Fernando Torres sale swirl about Merseyside. The club, sitting in lowly 12th place in the Premier League table, was struggling to cope with life post-Rafa Benitez; straying further away from England's upper-class. In search of...

Why we owe Steven Gerrard his return

Liverpool legend deserves a return to Anfield despite mixed opinions. Sunken to his knees, staring into the abyss of Selhurst Park, Steven Gerrard knew it was over. His dream of lifting the Premier League title with Liverpool, had disappeared faster than he fell to allow Demba Ba THAT goal the previous week. “Devastation” was the word Gerrard...

Observations from Liverpool’s win at Crystal Palace

It was billed as Benteke v Liverpool; the striker’s first game against his former club after his ill-fated move to Anfield lasted just one season. As it transpired, he was nearly as peripheral here as he was for his former club, despite Palace scoring from crosses. Instead, this was a game that emphasised both...

Crystal Palace 2 Liverpool 4: Player Ratings

Liverpool oscillated between brilliance and haphazard defending as they came away with the spoils in a high scoring game at Crystal Palace. Four goals yet again from this free scoring attack as well as defensive naivety from a clueless defence. This is how the Reds fared. Loris Karius (6) - Karius must be wondering how unjust this...
