The Liverpool Players In Their Final Days
The final few embers of the Brendan Rodgers regime still remain, with Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Joe Gomez and Divock Origi now rotation pieces of varying quality, within Jürgen Klopp’s squad. As part of any management era, there is always incoming failures that have a shelf life. Under the Brendan stewardship, the hits were few, and the misses often spectacular. This past summer saw a few more players moved on, in what is commonly a summer of attempting to release …

Karius or Adrian - Who's The Better Back-Up?
Although we're still eagerly awaiting the Premier League's return so that we can finally see Liverpool lift the trophy, there's still plenty to talk about.
Rumours as to whether Timo Werner will join from RB Leipzig refuse to go away.
The lads, already donning Liverpool red, are back in training and the league looks to be creeping closer to kicking off again.
However, one thing that has come to fore recently is perhaps something that we've all been shying away …

Alisson: Delivering Big Moments In Liverpool's Title Bid
Sunday's 2-0 win at Cardiff was enough to push Liverpool to 88 points thus far, their highest points tally of the Premier League era with three games still to play. Crucially, it also means the pressure remains firmly on Manchester City, with the coming week seeing them travel to Old Trafford before a potentially tricky away trip to Burnley.

Liverpool's Defence Is More Than VVD and Alisson

Likewise, it’s true that buying Alisson Becker was an absolutely crucial piece of the puzzle. Alisson has magnified the issues that Liverpool’s previous keepers have made, immediately established himself as one of the league’s top shot-stoppers and …
Destiny Defying Alisson Writes His Own Script
You could write the script. It really was that predictable. Liverpool had been banging on the door all night, creating a good chance after good chance against a Napoli side that was there for the taking. Even as the time ticked away and it became abundantly clear that Liverpool’s only chance of going through on the night was to win 1-0, as the time to score two more goals had all but run out, still the Reds carved open Napoli, …
Red Relationships and Lilywhite Hearts
Sometimes a relationship blows up and both parties end up locked in a contest to show the other what they could have had. The last time Liverpool faced Spurs in London the Reds were thoroughly and unmercifully dumped. Since that painful day, the main source of the drama, Dejan Lovren has been buried, resurrected and replaced. The man taking over for him was the right back on that October afternoon, Joe Gomez.
Simon Mignolet was the man in goal, was …

Fast forward to the present and the critics have gone eerily quiet as it appears one man can indeed fix a defence.
A third successive clean sheet of the season in the …
