Liverpool put on a great show worthy of the occasion, marking the return to Anfield after four months with four goals. There were excellent performances across the field. Let us see how the Reds fared.
Simon Mignolet (6.5)Â - AÂ mixed first half from Mignolet who made a hash of an attempt to get to the ball but...
It's the first game of the season. Away to Arsenal. Liverpool have a terrible record at the Emirates. Just one win in eight attempts in the league since Arsenal moved from Highbury. But this isn't any old Liverpool. This is Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. And Liverpool completely wipe the floor with Arsenal. Over the space of 20 breath...
The most omnipresent of all the biases that affect fantasy football managers is their support for their own club. The temptation to load up your team with the maximum number of players from your club, or to optimistically, naively, hope for upturns in form is an affliction that only the most stubbornly ambitious managers overcome. With...
For as long as I can remember Liverpool have been wasteful in the transfer market. We're the type of club who are more than happy to pay over the odds for an average, solid squad player but drag our feet when it comes to pay the big money for a game changer.

Liverpool fans were infamous for their 'next year will be our year' statement. However, for the past decade, the phrase associated with the fans has slowly morphed into 'Liverpool's summer transfer window is their biggest in years'. The two phrases are of course linked. Fans of the Reds are forever harbouring the belief that...
What a season this has been and I don’t mean for good reasons. The highlight this season has undoubtedly been Jurgen Klopp’s arrival at Anfield, but other than that it has been a season to forget for the Reds.
Every time we as fans seem to get a little bit excited, we come crashing down...
The story of Christian Benteke at Liverpool is that of a sorry tale about a misfit. He's our Buddy the Elf to Liverpool's elves. He stands out and not in a good way. When he gets involved the other players seem to have to increase their workload to accommodate him. It may not be...
It's been the debate that has raged on since for some time under FSG ownership, is this Liverpool squad good enough to compete with the best the world has to offer?
Quite frankly not according to the likes of Souness, who has labelled Klopp's current crop as average with fans agreeing that there needs to be...
Two consecutive 1-0 victories against Leicester and now Sunderland have seen Liverpool rise up to seventh in the table, level on points with Manchester United. The win on Wednesday night saw similarities to the win on boxing day; an unconvincing 1-0 victory. Benteke bagging the winner but missing a late sitter in both games,...
The blueprint for Brendan Rodgers' successful Liverpool side in 2013/14 is being used by a few teams that are surprising the Premier League this season. Two mobile strikers who combine pace and power.
It's not a revelation of course, the two man strike force is something we're accustomed to seeing in the Premier League. However...
