Concerns about a lack of goals have turned into the more welcomed...

Newcastle Utd vs. Liverpool: Team News, Key Stats & Predictions

Southampton 1 Liverpool 6: A Glimpse Into Next Season’s Tactical Concepts

On the Road Again: How Long Can Our Away Form Continue?

To quote Willie Nelson, I just can't wait to get on the road again. No, it's not because I love making music with my friends, but because Jürgen Klopp's tricky Reds seem quite unstoppable on their travels at the moment.

Klopp’s First Miracle? Transforming Liverpool’s Defence

Liverpool secured their third win of the week against Swansea, and in doing so extended their time without conceding a goal to 226 minutes.

Whilst there have been strong attacking performances, particularly against...

The Jon Flanagan debate – Is he Good Enough for Liverpool?

Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge's return to training has overshadowed the fact Jon Flanagan is also nearing a return after a long time out. You can't blame people for overlooking Flanagan though, one is the Liverpool captain, the other is the club's best striker whereas Flanagan is just a back-up player. The local lad has...
