Liverpool Reaping the Rewards of an Extensive Pre-Season

When you look back, and remember Liverpool Football Club played an outrageous amount of pre-season games (9) all crammed up in a month or so, the first thought that would come to mind would be Klopp grinding his players to make them the fittest in the Premier League. But the insane number of games won’t...

The Captain and Klopp: The Virtue of Patience

Rome was not built in a day. Any long-standing success is, usually, the product of a carefully planned and executed strategy and, unfortunately for some, the phrase rings true in the world of football.

Tottenham 1 – 1 Liverpool | Tactical Analysis

Capitulations – Why are Liverpool so prone to them?

Sixty-three minutes into the game, and Liverpool were 4-1 up at the Emirates having just blitzed the Arsenal defence to pieces in a typical high octane, all guns blazing, Jürgen Klopp manner. Yet less than a minute later, Arsenal had grabbed a goal back and were suddenly back in contention. Whilst this could be attributed...

Why Liverpool Need to Buy a Midfielder

Burnley dispatched Liverpool with relative ease this weekend. No matter what the stats or the media say a 2-0 scoreline didn't flatter them. Liverpool may have had 81% of the possession but Burnley, to use a Brendan Rodgers phrase "dictated the space". Liverpool never really looked like scoring and Burnley looked as though it was a...
