Attack, Liverpool’s best form of defence

Three games into the new Premier League campaign, Liverpool have conceded six goals, whilst scoring just five. Experiments with players operating in new positions, no clear preferred back five, or defined midfield protection, result understandably in questions being asked, even at this early stage. The mistakes and uncertainty will fail to alleviate fans fears,...

The Case For The Defence

Who remembers the City game last season? Not the League Cup final or the 4-1 massacre at the Etihad but the home game. If you’re struggling it was the game where Jon Flanagan kicked Raheem Sterling in the air in the opening minutes and his captain hissed ‘Yes’ at him while exhibiting a Tim Henman...

Stop the Criticism and Guesswork – Judge Klopp in May and Beyond

When you do someone an almighty favour and get very little thanks for it, it’s one of the most frustrating things you can encounter in day-to-day life. Without proclaiming him to be bigger than Liverpool Football Club - he most certainly isn’t - part of Jurgen Klopp must be feeling a little like that currently. Well,...

How Klopp’s Liverpool are set-up to beat Park The Bus Teams

There's been a lot of talk recently surrounding Liverpool's continuous struggles when facing teams who park the bus following on from the 2-0 defeat to Burnley which saw the Reds dominate possession but fail to carve out any clear cut chances.

Georginio Wijnaldum: Slow Starter or Solid Signing?

Georginio Wijnaldum was signed from a relegated Newcastle United this summer in a transfer that was, to most, unexpected.

Missed Opportunities for Liverpool in the Transfer Window

I know many will be thinking after reading that title. "You cynical bastard. The transfer window has only just shut and you're already putting a negative spin on it. Passing judgement before Klopp's even had the chance to field his strongest XI". And to those who are thinking that - you're probably right. It may be...

Jordan Henderson – Lack Of Ability

Jordan Henderson has been a heavily discussed topic amongst Liverpool fans for the past year or so, there is probably a 50-50 split between fans who think he isn’t good enough and those, who are still behind him as a player and give him the support he probably deserves. I would like to mention...

Sturridge needs to adapt to fit in with LFC’s Fluid Attack

"Of course it is more difficult for me to play wide. I'm a centre-forward. In the modern day game you have to try and be flexible but everyone knows my best position," After Liverpool's 5-0 victory over Burton, Daniel Sturridge made his feelings pretty clear. He toiled playing in a slightly wider role in the...

To La-Love or To La-Loath Lallana

Our fan base loves a debate. The defeat against Burnley last weekend exposed the chasm that exists between our fanbase as Twitter became ablaze with fans fighting over numerous topics including Klopp's tactics, FSG transfer strategy and whether any of our players are any good at anything. But there is one debate that has raged...

Liverpool’s Defence: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

When the 2015-16 season came to an end, there was disappointment for Liverpool fans as the Reds failed to make it into European competition for the following season but it was shadowed by an anticipation for what the summer would bring. Jurgen Klopp is renowned for bringing exciting talent for very little money and...
