Liverpool 3 Cardiff City 1 | Review and Match Stats
Liverpool pranced to the top of the Premier League this Saturday as the Reds beat Cardiff City 3-1 to continue the Merseysiders impressive form. The game was one of two halves with Liverpool effectively winning the game inside the first forty-five minutes to set up a rather dull and less energetic second half. The result also means that Liverpool have won four games on the bounce - the first time this has happened this season.
The game started with Cardiff …
Liverpool Vs Cardiff City | Match Preview

It will be the first time since 19th December 1959 that the two sides have met in the league at Anfield, which happened to be the first time a certain Mr Bill Shankly took the reigns of his new team since moving from Huddersfield Town. Unfortunately for him, …

Tottenham 0 Liverpool 5 | Review and Match Stats
Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness all sat in the Sky Sports studio at White Hart Lane with smirks breaking through and praise gushing from their mouths. There were a lot of smiling scousers when the final whistle finally blew to draw the curtain down on what was a devastating show of Anfield intent.
There was only ever going to be one man opening the scoring at White Hart Lane that day: and that man was Luis Suárez. The …
Midfield the Key on the Road for Liverpool | Stats Analysis
From the very first day we all got our hands on the season’s fixture list, the run of three consecutive away games in December stood out as season defining right from the off:
Tottenham (Away),
Man City (Away),
Chelsea (Away).
Now that Liverpool are on the eve of venturing into this testing period, December’s away days status as ‘season defining’ has only intensified due to Liverpool current high position in the league. For the first time all season, the top …
How do the Reds cure their White Hart Pain?
Neil Poole ponders Liverpool’s habit of falling asleep away at Tottenham Hotspurs and how it has led to nightmare displays.
I had a bad dream last night.
I was being chased by a 30 foot cockerel down the High Road towards Seven Sisters tube station. It had a booming cockney voice and it was mocking me as I ran away. “TWO ONE, TWO ONE, COCK-A-DOODLE DO”. Just as I was about to get away my mind wandered and in the …
Jon Flanagan: Do his performances warrant an extended run in 1st team?
Jon Flanagan has been a regular in the Liverpool side ever since starting at right wing-back in the Premier League game against Arsenal in early November. Since then, Flanagan has been swapped over to the left due to Jose Enrique being ruled out after picking up an injury. The Liverpool-born full back has been putting in some solid performances ever since and has really impressed most supporters. Critics may have their own opinions on Flanagan but I for one am …
The many facets of Rodgers' Liverpool Managerial journey thus far
Brendan Rodgers is now coming close to the midway point of his second season as the manager of Liverpool Football Club. It's fair to say that this duration should suffice for most of the club's supporters, if not all, to ascertain what his strengths are and conversely what traits of his that haven't strengthened their confidence in him in rebuilding the great dynasty of Shankly.
Young, inexperienced in many ways to shouldering this responsibility, this is a job considered night …
Sterling silver or another dull show piece?
After bursting onto the Premier League scene last season, a year on Raheem Sterling seems to have slipped under the radar a little bit. He's only made three starting appearances so far in the premier league and has come off the bench six times to accumulate a grand total of 370 minutes played. This is more than slight drop when compared to last season in which he started 11 of the campaigns first 12 games. What has changed and what …
