According to media reports prior to Monday night's match versus AFC Bournemouth, Jordan Henderson, had pain killing injections for days during the build up to the game due to a foot injury. The coaching and medical staff clearly deemed it that Henderson, the club captain, was required for the match, even with an injury,...
Against Stoke, we concentrated on how Liverpool played in possession. Here again, for different reasons, we will do the same, focusing less on the execution of Liverpool's attacking game plan and more on the implementation of their shape when on the offensive.
Line up
Rodgers opted for the same team that had started against Stoke. At this...
If one reads the title of this piece, it would not be too far fetched to assume that readers might think they have entered an Arsenal/Chelsea fans blog site by accident, as this is a topic which has been a bug bear for Arsenal fans during their trophy drought ridden years. The terms 'winning...
In the opening game of the season away to Stoke City Brendan Rodgers decided to play a 4-2-3-1 formation. The blunt and boring performance that followed may have been caused by early season rustiness and Stoke away being a challenging fixture. However it will cause debate as to what is the best formation for Liverpool...

Â The reason behind this supposed falling out isn't really known but Twitter is rife with speculation as to why, with the main culprit being lack of playing time. The Liverpool Echo followed this up a day later...
The first game of the season is always difficult to analyse. Some players are not quite match sharp yet. New signings often aren't fully gelled in yet. New tactical concepts and adjustments haven't yet been fully processed and the overall cohesion and game play is often a little off. As such, the first game...
From 101 to 52. The drop in the amount of goals scored by Liverpool from the 2013/14 season to the 2014/15 season was stark, and was a result of their meek, submissive, and wholly unconvincing performances during the last campaign.
