Henderson speaks candidly after Liverpool exit Champions League at Anfield
Liverpool's defence of their Champions League crown came to an end last night at Anfield. Jordan Henderson described the bitter disappointment he and his teammates were feeling after a great performance on the night from The Reds.
A Gini Wijnaldum header before half-time gave Liverpool the lead on the night and levelled the tie on aggregate. Extra-time was needed then and Roberto Firmino popped up to put Jürgen Klopp's side in front after 94 minutes. Then, two strikes from Atlético …

Impending title is only the beginning for Liverpool
Liverpool’s march towards their first Premier League crown is inevitable. It’s a matter of not if but when Jurgen Klopp’s men will end their 30-year drought without the top-flight title. Klopp and his team saw their hopes of remaining unbeaten throughout the campaign ended in a 3-0 defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road, denying them the opportunity to match Arsenal's Invincibles of the 2003/04 season
However, winning the crown is still a major achievement for the club. The Reds are all but …
Klopp sings praises of Reds' Egyptian King
Jürgen Klopp couldn't hide his delight with the performance of Mohamed Salah in Liverpool's 2-1 Premier League win over Bournemouth on Saturday.
Salah equalised for Liverpool after they had gone behind to an early Callum Wilson strike. Sadio Mané played a poor pass to Salah but the Egyptian forward managed to salvage the situation and finished low at the near post, past Aaron Ramsdale.
Mané himself got on the scoresheet before half time to give The Reds the win with …
Tactical Preview: Liverpool vs. Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid’s 1-0 victory at the Wanda Metropolitano heralded the end of Liverpool’s phenomenal winning streak. The performance itself was more concerning than the defeat though, with Liverpool merely creating eight chances (four of which were shots from outside of the box), one Big Chance, but not managing to get a single one of those on target. Liverpool’s 0.6 xG was one of the lowest generated in recent memory. The Atletico Madrid defensive shape was immovable and robust but rarely …

Two players to return to squad for Atlético Madrid clash on Wednesday night
Liverpool should have Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson both back in contention for a starting place against Atlético Madrid on Wednesday night, according to Jürgen Klopp.
The Reds were without both Henderson and Robertson for Saturday's 2-1 Premier League win over Bournemouth at Anfield. Robertson was not risked after picking up a slight injury in training while Henderson was still recovering from the thigh problem he suffered in mid-February.
Liverpool are 1-0 down from the first leg in Spain so …
Why Liverpool Should Avoid Cantwell Punt
Liverpool love a good punt on a player from a relegated side.
In three of the last four summer's, the Reds have salvaged some gems from the wreckage of sides destined for the Championship.
First, Georginio Wijnaldum and Andrew Robertson -- two players who arrived with relatively inexpensive price-tags and who have now established themselves as key players -- arrived from Newcastle and Hull respectively in the summers of 2016 and 2017.
Then in the summer of 2018, Xherdan Shaqiri …

Let's not go overboard about Liverpool's 'crisis'
Forget the coronavirus threatening to end civilisation as we know it, Liverpool's last two games have seemingly caused the end of the world instead.
It was all going so swimmingly before the Reds turned up to Watford last weekend - it was a happier time when supporters weren't bickering, wins were inevitable and anything seemed possible.
Doesn't it feel like a lifetime ago now?
From nowhere, Liverpool's season has veered off the track, with Watford and Chelsea delivering rare defeats …
