Gini Wijnaldum: The Vital Cog in the Machine

When Liverpool signed Georginio Wijnaldum from Newcastle in the Summer of 2016, did anyone really expect him to become Liverpool’s number six during their best start to a season in their history? No, of course, they didn’t. And yet, here we are. What Liverpool fans did believe they were signing was a talented, if not sometimes...

Liverpool 3-0 Southampton: Who Was Man of the Match?

Liverpool have made their best ever start to a Premier League season and, in truth, they have done so at about 50% of their overall capacity.

Six wins out of six to start the Premier League season. Not bad, eh? Southampton came to Anfield, and Southampton were routinely dispatched.

The Firmino 9

Roberto Firmino was the perfect the false 9, then Klopp's number 9 and now the Firmino 9. Has Bobby redefined the centre-forward position for Liverpool during Klopp's tenure? When Liverpool signed Firmino from Hoffenheim, he was known as a goal scoring attacking midfield. Under Rodgers, he played as a wide forward and didn't appear to be...
