Jordan Henderson
The wheels threaten to come off Liverpool’s good start to the season when within a space of a week both Adam Lallana and Gini Wijnaldum picked up injuries and with fierce rivals Manchester United on the horizon two thirds of the Reds’ starting midfield looked set to miss the tie. One of the few matches […]
I promised myself I would make the most of the lack of domestic action this weekend and enjoy a productive football-free weekend for once in my life. Instead, my Saturday was spent with a vicious bout of man flu, and my Sunday consisted of bickering with fellow Liverpool supporters on Twitter. Pathetic, really. Having expressed […]
Happy Klopp anniversary everyone! Ok, I’m a little late. Sorry. Nonetheless, during these lengthy and joyous annual celebrations of Anfield life under Klopp, I’ve decided to take a look at our captain, Jordan Henderson, and what’s changed for the skipper under his manager. As he hardly played under Rodgers last season due to injury, it’s […]
There’s been a lot of talk recently surrounding Jordan Henderson silencing his critics after an impressive run of games as the deepest midfielder. People cite the worldie at Stamford Bridge and his dominant performances against Leicester and Hull City as evidence that he’s acclimatising to his new role. For all the unfair criticism levelled at him […]
Sharp I know, but bear with me. For Liverpool fans who were at work/at some family do/in a cave this weekend, you’ll be disappointed, initially at least, to hear of Adam Lallana’s injury in the battling win at Swansea. For over an hour of the game The Reds had to do without his guile, energy […]

Surely though winning when […]
Philippe Coutinho in centre-midfield in a Jurgen Klopp side. It was an experiment many Liverpool fans had wanted to see for quite some time but it’s unlikely many would have wanted the switch to happen under such circumstances. Adam Lallana, a player who was playing arguably his best football since signing for the Reds, limped […]
Jurgen Klopp has done a lot of good since being appointed as Liverpool manager, and he’s been rightly lauded for it, but one area that went under the radar was his ability on the training pitch. He’s able to identify player profiles and place them in areas of the pitch which maximise their strengths. These […]
Given Liverpool’s failure to qualify for European football this season, you’d imagine that most fans will be looking forward to this away day, as the Reds cross the Welsh border to face Swansea City on Saturday. It’s a lunchtime kick-off, one that the Reds will be desperate to win, in another challenge as they hope […]
There isn’t an awful lot to say, in general, about Liverpool’s performance last Saturday that Hull City captain Curtis Davies hasn’t already covered. Two aspects of what he said after the game are particularly encouraging from a Liverpool perspective. Firstly, as Davies points out, “Liverpool have that mix of nice little passes and then people […]
