London, England - After the events on Monday night at the FIFA best awards, Luka Modric has been named the best men’s player of the year. Pipping award ceremony regular Cristiano Ronaldo, who was ironically missing from this particular iteration of the event, and Mohamed Salah to the gong after a champions league winning...
No matter where you are from your local match commentator probably said something like: "Set pieces - Liverpool's long-term Achilles heel" when Eric Lamela scored against the Reds last at Wembley. That line is simply ignorant. Liverpool's set piece defence has been slowly and steadily improving for three seasons now. The same applies for...
That winning run wasn't going to last forever, was it?
Any Liverpool defeat generally has to be considered disappointing - although some under Roy Hodgson felt like a blessing in disguise - and Wednesday's League Cup loss to Chelsea did sting a little, especially given the nature of it.
In the grand scheme of things, it...
For the second time in consecutive seasons, Liverpool crashed out of the Carabao Cup at the first hurdle as they were beaten 1-2 at home by Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea.
Despite putting in a fairly dominant display and having plenty of chances to seal their place in the fourth round, the Reds fell to defeat thanks...
You could be forgiven for thinking, going into what looks to be an absolutely huge week for Liverpool, that this was a season-defining week for Jürgen Klopp and his team. The Reds went into a seven-game period across three weeks with both their Premier League and Champions League ambitions on the line, and so...

Chelsea, along with Manchester City, have been the closest league competitors to Liverpool, so far this season. The Blues have made the best start they could have imagined under new boss, Maurizio Sarri....
I for one have been very excited about the form of Liverpool's defence of late, especially the pairing of Joe Gomez and Virgil Van Dijk. This partnership may only be six games into the season, but there's the making of something special forming here.
As football fans, we love to compare players to legends that...
Personally, I love a hypothetical within the realms of football. They allow one to examine the possibilities and justify why their selection would be viable. Of course, these hypotheticals can border on the edges of insanity, almost irrelevance i.e. Which footballer would be able to the most kick-ups with a live chicken? (probably Leo...
Almost two years ago to the day, Trent Alexander-Arnold was one of the youngest players on the pitch as he created the opening goal, scored to put his side 4-0 ahead and was booked just before half time for half time in an all-action right-back performance for Liverpool U23 against Tottenham U23. He dominated...
