After a glorious week of fans still not coming back to earth after the hitherto invincibles were beaten at Anfield, Liverpool get back on the road in the Premier League on Monday, with a trip to Swansea City, who are bottom of the table.
The Swans have one win, one draw and one loss in...
Liverpool just stuffed the so-called ‘best team in Europe right now’.
They didn’t fluke a win against them - in fact, the eventual 4-3 scoreline was very generous on a Man City side who actually performed quite well. It was a victory that showed exactly how far the Reds have come with Jurgen Klopp in...
Emre Can has been a player who has polarised the opinion of Liverpool fans, not just about how good he is but what his best position is also. Up until this season, many fans including myself believed he was most effective in the number 8 position, operating as a box to box midfielder. This...
It took all of eight minutes to remind Anfield of one very special fact.
Liverpool Football Club is bigger than any player.
Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain’s driving run, emphatic finish and impassioned celebration perfectly emblemised the oft-romanticised ‘Liverpool spirit’ – the idea that you don’t buy a great player, rather a player becomes great in the cauldron that...
Sadio Mane is more than just the second line of a viral song about Liverpool F.C’s frontline.
In 2016/2017 he was Liverpool’s best player, his form reflected in his 2nd place finish - behind his Liverpool compatriot Mohamed Salah - in 2017’s CAF African Player Of The Year awards. The Senegalese forward was so integral...
From start to finish, Liverpool's Premier League tie with Manchester City was electric. Essentially, two very similar schools of tactical thinking came together, and on this occasion, Klopp's relentless pressing from the front, numerical overloads, and astute counter-pressing positioning came out on top.
Instead of breaking down the goals in this analysis, because a majority...
Sunday morning, a few hours before Liverpool kicked off against Manchester City, I was just about done. It hadn’t been the best day for Liverpool up until that point, as the toxic fever pitch and maelstrom of Liverpool fans’ complaints about everything from Jon Flanagan’s guilty plea right the way through to Liverpool deciding...
Much has been made in recent months about Jurgen Klopp's stubbornness. From slow in-game changes to persevering with persistent underachievers. However, Klopp has come out fighting since the Spurs game and stuck the proverbial fingers up to the critics, with his team showing some really good form. This form culminated in what was a...
Distractions are something no manager ever wants to deal with. The narrative for so many seasons gone awry at Liverpool or anywhere in sport usually surrounds a player dispute or an underlying negative that eventually pulled the whole team down.
Back in 2015, around this time of year, reality started to set in that the...
Liverpool and Manchester City went hammer and tongs throughout the 90 minutes as Liverpool edged the 7 goal thriller in a game which was once again one of the best advertisements for the Premier League as a whole. Liverpool thus break City's lossless streak this season. My key observations are below:
Liverpool end the week...
