Jürgen Klopp's Redmen welcome top-of-the-table Leicester City to Anfield this Sunday evening. It's a very difficult situation for The Reds with between 6 and 8 first-team players out injured. Yet, such is the strength of this Liverpool squad, it's hard to be too negative in our expectations coming up to …
Will Rodgers prevent Liverpool setting all-time unbeaten home record?
April 23rd, 2017. Liverpool 1-2 Crystal Palace. Feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?
At that point, Jurgen Klopp was still only in his first full season as Reds manager and his side hadn't yet played in the Champions League under him.
This was still a year before the agony of Kiev, let alone the glorious triumph in Madrid and the Premier League title that followed, and Mo Salah, Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk and Alisson weren't yet Liverpool players, …
Remembering Liverpool 4-1 Leicester in 2016, amid injury chaos in 2020
Hallelujah, the final international break of 2020 is coming to a close. Whilst manager's will understandably be worried about injuries from the though schedules ahead, football fans can at least look forward to a plethora of club action leading into the new year.
Despite that, there has been a fair bit of doom and gloom this week for Liverpool supporters. With the upsetting passing of Ray Clemence coming in the midst of another national lockdown, Reds fans have had their …
Reds rumoured to be interested in bringing Leicester ace to Anfield
Liverpool are reported to be keeping tabs on Leicester City's creative young forward Harvey Barnes.
Barnes, 22, likes to play on the left-side of midfield or attack. He can also play the '10' role behind the striker(s) as an attacking playmaker.
Scoring six goals and providing 8 assists this season has seen Barnes' profile rise in the Premier League. He played an important role in Leicester's season under Brendan Rodgers and it's certain Rodgers would be keen to hold on …
Should Liverpool be interested in Leicester attacker?
Harvey Barnes was the talk of Liverpool Twitter last week. I’m not entirely sure, but I’m not one to pass up an opportunity to take a detailed look at a player. The Leicester City man impressed me last season after returning from his loan spell. His expected goal contribution (goals and assists) was higher than averages posted by Raul Jimenez, Callum Wilson, Romelu Lukaku and a host of other names.
Barnes had an expected goals average of 0.32 per 90, …
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.
When asked about if Henderson was okay, Klopp said:
"Yes. [It …
