Jurgen Klopp

Gerrard and Torres… Can their feats be reproduced?

So, it has been well documented amongst commentators and fans alike that this Liverpool side, charged by the wizardry of Philippe Coutinho and the heavy mental approach of manager Jurgen Klopp, look the real deal. The reds so far this season have scored 40 goals, and after the 14 games we have had, this is...

Why Liverpool Need… Christian Pulisic

The 14th April 2016 will go down as one of the great European nights in Liverpool’s history. It was a remarkable comeback, typical of Liverpool, from 3-1 down to win 4-3 on the night and 5-4 on aggregate against Borussia Dortmund, the most in-form team in Europe that year. Whilst most people will understandably look...

As Jurgen Klopp says: ‘Let’s Stay Cool’

Top of the league, Klopp at the helm, and a rampant Liverpool team, faced with a set of upcoming fixtures, that on paper, look more than winnable. Yet Jürgen Klopp has stated clearly to cool any early title talk, and once again, he's right. The 'feel-good' vibe around Anfield, and amongst the Liverpool FC fanbase,  which...

Eleven Games In for Liverpool: 2016-17 vs. 1987-88

If you were fortunate enough to be at Anfield on Sunday, you probably left the ground with conflicting emotions.

Title challenges come rare to...

Who is Liverpool FC Target Sardar Azmoun?

I spoke with David Sansun, the man behind @RubinKazanUK, to find out more about Sardar Azmoun because let's be honest, unless you watch Russian football you're going to be going in blind here and Youtube just lies to you. What are Azmoun's strengths? Manuel Veth compared him to Karl-Heinz Riedle which was a bit of...

Liverpool 2016/17 v Liverpool 2013/14: Only One Winner

Back in the summer, who really expected to be this happy about Liverpool by the time early November arrived? Come on, be honest. We all saw that daunting run of early fixtures, and when the joy of beating Arsenal was soured by the woeful result at Burnley, even a top-four challenge felt a long way...

Lallana, Coutinho, Firmino and Mane – Firing Liverpool to the Top

"An outsider should never know what position my players are playing. We occupy interchangeable spaces and principles not rigid positions” - Marco Bielsa. Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool were at their rampant best against Watford. It finished 6-1 but the Reds could have easily finished with double figures as the away side failed to cope with the fluidity...

Adam Lallana Epitomises Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool Side

Adam Lallana... *scratches head* I'm not going as far to say anybody claiming to have foreseen his evolution from a tepid attacking midfielder to this 2.0 version that Jurgen Klopp has definitely concocted in a lab a liar but I'm not not saying that either. It's been a turnaround of epic proportions for a player who was...

Tactical Analysis – Liverpool Movement too Much for Watford’s 3-5-2

At what point do we accept that Liverpool are genuine title contenders? Some say that to win the title you have to beat your closest challengers, in fact that is only half the battle. The true path to title glory is making sure you do not drop points against the teams that you should...
