When Marcus Rashford burst clear in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Man United, every Liverpool supporter on the planet must have feared the worst.
The England striker is renowned for his blistering pace, and as he sprinted through on goal, the Reds' long unbeaten home run felt like it could go up in smoke, against the...
After the injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, it was inevitable that the names of several centre-halves would be bandied about and linked to Liverpool.
Sven Botman, David Carmo, Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahim Konate have all been suggested as antidote's to the Reds' personnel shortage in the heart of their defence. Perhaps the...
Nathaniel Phillips has all the attributes to become Liverpool's permanent, fourth-choice, centre back.
Phillips, thanks to his scruffy beard and sweaty fringe, looks more like a hungover student than a Liverpool centre half. However, looks can be deceiving. His pragmatic style, limited capability and local connection to the club means that a role, as a...
Not that you would know it from looking at the Premier League table, or Champions League group table for that matter, but Liverpool have been hamstrung by injuries to central defenders this season.
Both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez -- two of Jurgen Klopp's key defensive lieutenants -- will miss most of, if not...
A few weeks back now, Jamie Carragher analysed what has happened to Liverpool’s defensive line since Virgil van Dijk’s injury on Monday Night Football.

When Virgil van Dijk was ruled out for the season with cruciate ligament damage it felt...
Jurgen Klopp sprung a surprise in Liverpool's recent 1-1 draw against Manchester City at The Etihad.
After Diogo Jota scored a hat-trick against Atalanta in the Champions League a few days prior to the clash with Pep Guardiola's team, speculation was rife that Klopp may drop Roberto Firmino, one of his key lieutenants, and retain...
Can you think of a more high-profile, damaging injury to a Liverpool player than Virgil van Dijk's at Everton?
I'm not sure there has ever been one that has had the potential to define an entire season like Van Dijk's, such is his colossal stature at the club.
Having had him available throughout almost all of...
Let's get the captain obvious statement out of the way at the beginning, shall we?
Liverpool will miss Virgil van Dijk during his injury lay off, which, per reports, could last anything from six to nine months.
If you could manufacture the perfect centre half in a lab, equipped with elite physical, mental, technical and leadership...
There was no better encapsulation of my feelings towards last night's performance than the Anfield Wrap's half-time Instagram post - 'Fuck off Liverpool'.
At that point, there were still three more Villa goals to come, delivering the kind of result that might leave you queasy and anxious for much of the inexplicably-timed international break.
Even in the...
