_______________________________________________________________
It's another night of European football at Anfield this Tuesday. Us Reds fans have been completely spoiled with the amount of special Champions League fixtures we've had the pleasure of seeing in recent years. That's all thanks to Jurgen Klopp. This game won't be one to live long in the …
What now for Joe Gomez?
It seems very strange to say now, but it’s been nearly a year since Joe Gomez was Liverpool’s first choice centre-back.
The 22-year-old had well and truly established himself as Virgil Van Dijk’s partner by this time last season, and he started 12 of Liverpool’s first 15 Premier League games last season, as well as four of the Reds’ five Champions League group stage matches.
He was still being used rotationally as a right-back to rest Trent Alexander-Arnold, but there …
The future's bright for Klopp's young mentality monsters
Different team, same old story.
To say Liverpool's progression to the Carabao Cup quarter-final was a rollercoaster would be a huge understatement after the 5-4 penalty win following a 5-5 draw against Arsenal at Anfield.
It was a night where Klopp placed his faith in youth once more and Liverpool's stars of the future repaid that faith with a vibrant - if a little harem scarem - win.
The Reds lined up with senior players such as Milner, Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain, …
Have Liverpool Already Found Klopp's Successor?
“Our identity is intensity.”
They were more than words – a tagline, or perhaps an often-repeatable motto, that anyone would think came from Jürgen Klopp himself.
But no, they came from his second in command, the man seemingly placed in charge of the Reds’ Capital One Cup campaign: Pepijn Lijnders.
“All these boys from the city have so much passion and ambition as well. Take the Tottenham game, everybody says we had the most shots on target, we were constantly …
Fabinho Masterclass Completes Magical 12 Months
November 3rd, 2018. Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool.
The Reds have just earned a credible draw away to the Gunners, admittedly failing to hold onto a lead but also outlining their Premier League title credentials.
On an evening when a number of Liverpool players shone at the Emirates, in particular Virgil van Dijk, much of the post-match talk surrounded Fabinho.
Experiencing his gelling-in period at Anfield, the Brazilian was well off the pace throughout, lacking dynamism and influence at the base of …

Liverpool confirm title credentials with City blockbuster approaching
The victory against Spurs was a much-needed riposte after the disappointing performance at Old Trafford two weekends ago.
Liverpool stepped up to their mantle as mentality monsters; overcoming a poor start to comfortably dispatch a notoriously tricky rival in Spurs. A massive and much-needed win to maintain 6 points’ daylight between Klopp’s side and City.
Recent fixtures against Spurs have been slightly turgid affairs. However, on Sunday, Liverpool’s tenacity allied with potent attacking flair, came out in full force.

Liverpool 2-1 Spurs: A Tactical Breakdown
Despite the scoreline displaying a marginal difference, custom to a penalty, this was one of Liverpool's finest performances of the season, and the perfect follow-up to the dull, drab and wasted opportunity that was the Manchester United game.
Displaying patience, breathtaking intensity and consistency, Liverpool dominated from the moment the first goal went in, and for the 75 odd minutes that preceded it. This not just a mature and organised performance, it was utterly brilliant, a display of composure and …
Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur: Observations as Reds Keep Fortress Anfield in Tact
Liverpool absolutely battered Tottenham. Let nothing else take your attention away from that. From the moment the Reds kicked off after conceding an avoidable goal in the first minute of the game, their feet were headed straight for Tottenham throats, and in the end, all that pressure paid off in a 2-1 win to keep the six-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
Jordan Henderson equalised just after half-time, and Mo Salah capped the win with a penalty, …
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Klopp’s key to unlock midfield’s potential?
It was a return to form that was one of the most welcome in recent memory.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who endeared himself to Liverpool fans everywhere during the 2017/18 season, reminded Reds last night what they’ve missed during his arduous absence after his cruel knee injury.
The dominant, powerful and threatening Ox was back with a bang, scoring two fabulous goals and putting in a solid all-round performance in Liverpool’s comfortable 1-4 win over Genk – giving a timely reminder that …
