Liverpool's 4-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday was filled with passion and tension both and off the pitch, but also proved to be the tipping point between Reds boss Jurgen Klopp and Manchester-born Premier League referee, Paul Tierney.
Speaking after the game, Klopp claimed:Â "We have our history with Mr. Tierney, I really don't know...
This was the same match-up that contested the Champions League final in 2019, where one ultra-organised and ruthless team was able to overcome a team built upon growth, desire, and team spirit. That contest became a chess match that Liverpool were able to game-manage with relative ease, absolute professionalism, and control in abundance. The...
Should Jurgen Klopp have galloped over to the fourth official to celebrate an injury-time winner right in his face? Probably not, no. Should that be the focus of every news and media outlet for the foreseeable future? Definitely not, no.
Klopp’s reaction was unwarranted but it was human. How often is that defence used when...
Liverpool host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in a massive Premier League game, with both teams still fighting for Champions League qualification for next season.
Jurgen Klopp's side come into this one on the back of three successive wins in the league, beating Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and West Ham United.
The Reds have been in fine...
Imagine, if you will, David Ornstein from The Athletic revealing a juicy tidbit: Brighton, with a glint in their eye, are revving their engines for a daring manoeuvre to snatch Liverpool's midfield veteran, James Milner, as he saunters into the great unknown of free agency this summer.
At the grand age of 37, Milner's contract...
Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Ibrahima Konate will return to the squad as Liverpool host Tottenham, while hopes are Diogo Jota has avoided injury.
Across the last four games, Klopp has only made one change to his starting lineup, that being the omission of Konate for Wednesday’s 2-1 win at West Ham.
The Frenchman was left out...
Patience is something that is important in football and something that has increasingly disappeared in the modern game.
Players are written off too soon, managers are sacked before they get a chance to prove their worth and everything is about the here and now.
This certainly applied with Cody Gakpo in his early weeks in a...
Both Liverpool and West Ham headed into this game in fine recent form, despite both enduring difficulties in their own domestic campaigns. This was an entertaining midweek battle, one which allowed a cut and thrust that shone under the London Stadium's lights. There could and probably should have been more goals, yet for Jürgen...
In the past two games for Liverpool FC, we have seen Jürgen Klopp adjust his formation and strategy in order to create form and rhythm for his struggling team. Out of possession represents much of the same 4-3-3 system, one which achieved so much silverware during Klopp’s reign at Anfield. What we saw in...
Over the last couple of games, we have seen quite a significant change in the shape Liverpool are taking up when in possession and it has led to some unusually high possession numbers for the Reds. They had 74% of the ball against Leeds, and 82% against Nottingham Forest, as they racked up back-to-back...
