Best games of 2019/20: Leicester 0 - 4 Liverpool
The current authority-imposed hiatus from football due to the ever-saddening Coronavirus outbreak gives us all time to reflect on a plethora of subjects.
Inevitably, for those obsessed with football and the thought of Liverpool finally claiming that Premier League title, thoughts turn to some of the Reds' stand-out performances of what has been a marvellous season.
There have been so many moments of magic and significance that it's impossible to say one moment trumps all others, but for me (and …
Liverpool's Candidates To Replace Lallana
Adam Lallana's Liverpool career appears to be in it's final throes.
Signed in the ill fated summer of 2014, the 31 year old's Anfield career -- despite being a favourite of both the coaches he's worked with, Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp -- has been hampered by a spate of injuries.
And now, with the attacking midfielder's contract dwindling down, it appears likely that his time with the Reds is coming to an end.
According to the well connected David …
Assertive Henderson Driving Liverpool Title Assault
The injury to Fabinho was adjudged by many as a harbinger of doom for Liverpool and their prospects this season. After all, the leggy Brazilian was a cornerstone for the Reds as they accumulated 97 Premier League points last season and won their sixth European Cup.
Into the sizeable void stepped captain Jordan Henderson and — despite making his positional preference known to Jürgen Klopp, a conversation that facilitated him moving to a more advanced midfield role last season — …
Klopp on Jordan Henderson's injury
Liverpool's Jordan Henderson is not expected to miss any game time due to the injury that forced him off in The Reds' incredible 4-0 win at Leicester City.
Jurgen Klopp spoke about the captain's injury in his post-match press conference on Thursday night. Liverpool had just put in one of the most complete, dominant displays of the Klopp era, dismantling second-placed Leicester City in front of their own fans.

Are Leicester a threat to Liverpool's title charge?
Picture the scene: It's mid-August, the Premier League season is about to get underway and you're told that Man City beating Leicester might be a good thing four months later.
Unfathomable, right?
Yet here we are, 16 matches into the league campaign, with Brendan Rodgers doing his very best to upset his former club.
Liverpool continued their outrageous form last weekend, making it 46 points from a possible 48 this season. On top of that, they are the only points …
Why Leicester aren't title rivals to Liverpool just yet
Very few people envisaged Liverpool heading into the festive period with a 14 point advantage over Manchester City, yet here we are. Even fewer people would’ve expected Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City to be the team’s nearest rivals at the summit of the Premier League table. But this is the situation we currently find ourselves in.
The Foxes currently occupy second position and have a six point lead over the reigning champions. They find themselves eight behind Liverpool but the two …
Why can't you play like that every week, Dejan?
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who grimaced, groaned, groaned and flailed when I heard that Dejan Lovren was starting on Saturday.
Not only because... Well, he's Dejan Lovren, but because he was to come up against a striker in Jamie Vardy that has a brilliant goal scoring record against the Reds and has also given Lovren many torrid times over recent years.
"Why not Joe Gomez?", I cried at the radio as I made my way towards Anfield.

Predicting Liverpool's starting eleven to play Leicester this weekend
Liverpool take on Leicester City at Anfield today in the Premier League. Here's the starting lineup we think Jurgen Klopp will select for this huge fixture.
Apart from Alisson Becker - who it seems this game may just have arrived too soon for - The Reds should be at full strength.
Adrian will continue in goals in place of Alisson. The Spaniard, besides the mishap against Southampton, has done a wonderful job after being called upon just a few days …
