We’re two games into the 2015-16 Premier League season and Liverpool have a 100% record, keeping two clean sheets in the process, yet there are still plenty who are intent on grumbling about something or other.
“Crap that, wasn’t it,” I overheard one Liverpool fan say as they left Anfield on Monday night. There were...
According to media reports prior to Monday night's match versus AFC Bournemouth, Jordan Henderson, had pain killing injections for days during the build up to the game due to a foot injury. The coaching and medical staff clearly deemed it that Henderson, the club captain, was required for the match, even with an injury,...
Liverpool’s biggest coup of the transfer market this summer has arguably been the signing of Belgian beast Christian Benteke and the striker made his mark immediately, netting in the 1-0 home victory against Bournemouth at Anfield. Over the years the kop have witnessed some incredible front men so in light of Benteke’s opening strike,...
Liverpool weren't reliant on a wonder goal this week but yet again it was an underwhelming performance in which the Reds were the victors coming out with a 1-0 win against newly promoted Bournemouth.
It wasn't one for the neutrals to appreciate but Liverpool got the job done and now have six points from six....
Against Stoke, we concentrated on how Liverpool played in possession. Here again, for different reasons, we will do the same, focusing less on the execution of Liverpool's attacking game plan and more on the implementation of their shape when on the offensive.
Line up
Rodgers opted for the same team that had started against Stoke. At this...
If one reads the title of this piece, it would not be too far fetched to assume that readers might think they have entered an Arsenal/Chelsea fans blog site by accident, as this is a topic which has been a bug bear for Arsenal fans during their trophy drought ridden years. The terms 'winning...
In the opening game of the season away to Stoke City Brendan Rodgers decided to play a 4-2-3-1 formation. The blunt and boring performance that followed may have been caused by early season rustiness and Stoke away being a challenging fixture. However it will cause debate as to what is the best formation for Liverpool...
Liverpool started their Premier League campaign with a solid but unspectacular display at Stoke. Three points in the bag, on we go. Bournemouth are up next. Despite a very lukewarm performance in general, Rodgers will be happy with the clean sheet that the defence just about managed to keep.
One person who shone in particular...
Balance is often misused in footballing terms. I've heard commentators use balance as if it needs to be a mirror image. If a team has an attacking right winger they should have an attacking left winger too for 'balance'. That's not always the case. Sometimes balance is about the team accommodating the attacking right...
When Mario Balotelli signed for Liverpool last year, to say opinion was divided would be an understatement. Some thought it was disaster waiting to happen whilst others believed it would be Mario's time to shine. Loved by an adoring, famously loyal fan base, he would finally show the world his talent on a football...
