Coutinho & Firmino: Majestic Brazilians Bringing The Good Times Back

Sturridge Has a Place in the Team, But He Might Not Like It

Liverpool’s Achilles Heel – Set Piece Woes

Jurgen Klopp was right when he said Liverpool don't have a defensive issue. In the 12 months he's been with the club he's worked on making Liverpool, as a unit, much more resilient. For starters there are less holes centrally, you rarely see the backline exposed like you did under Brendan Rodgers. The team...

Jürgen’s Marauders: Getting Liverpool an 80-Goal Season

Liverpool Football club isn’t for the faint of hearted.
