Predicting Liverpool’s lineup for the RB Salzburg game tonight

Liverpool face RB Salzburg at Anfield tonight in the Champions League. Here's a look at the starting eleven we think Jurgen Klopp might go with for this tough encounter against the Austrian Bundesliga champions.

Liverpool’s Great Weakness Has Become their Strength

It’s an interesting thing, the human brain. Driven by logic and reason, capable of assessing situations and providing a thoughtful and rational response. Yet subject it to serious trauma, and suddenly that rationality gets chipped away, slowly but surely, until the horrors of what once was, murk what actually is. Case in point. Sheffield United...

Liverpool should return to sign La Liga starlet

In football, rejection often closes that particular chapter. Clubs won't continue to their pursuit if a player has made it clear they aren't keen on the move. Sometimes it's to do with pride.

Observations as Liverpool gifted Bramall Lane win

In the end, it was a gift that made the difference. It should never have come down to that, with Sadio Mane missing two gilt-edged first-half opportunities, but Dean Henderson failing to catch a relatively straightforward Gini Wijnaldum volley gave Liverpool a 1-0 win in a hard-fought encounter at Bramall Lane, against Sheffield United. The...

Sheffield United 0-1 Liverpool: Who was Man of the Match?

That was a hard watch, wasn’t it? A tough game where we didn’t play well, but, in the end, we got the win our chances deserved.
