Man City Smashed – The Season Starts Now…

Well that was bloody marvellous wasn’t it? Going to the Etihad this time around, given Chelsea’s continual struggles, was, on paper at least, the toughest assignment the Reds would have in the league this season. The fact that just after the half hour Jürgen’s boys found themselves 3-0 up, coasting, and seemingly able to...

Klopp Giving Liverpool Reason to be Quietly Confident

Glorious, swift, stunning, prepotent, magnificent. I could go on. The performance against Manchester City on Saturday evening was one thoroughly enjoyed by the entire fanbase; the current title favourites were dispatched in their own stadium by a rampant Liverpool side that could have easily ended up with seven goals. Having seen off all of...

Man City Win Has Brought Back the Feelgood Factor

It was a day that started with talk of Sergio Aguero’s return and of Raheem Sterling’s first encounter with Liverpool since his much protracted summer move. It ended with Kolo Toure enjoying a three-minute cameo as a central-midfielder / right-winger hybrid with the Reds 4-1 up. What a time to be alive indeed. Mate, Kolo is...

Sturridge, Firmino and Coutinho – Opponents Should Fear Us

"Where are the goals going to come from?" was probably amongst the top five questions Liverpool fans have asked in 2015. It's not like there wasn't cause for concern either, saying the Reds looked blunt up front would've been polite. The toothless attack is a mixture of Daniel Sturridge having shares in the injury...

Liverpool’s Midfield – The Heart of the Team, in Need of a Defibrillator!

Editor's note: This article was written prior to Liverpool's win against Manchester City at Etihad on Saturday I've always believed that the competitive games are won and lost, by the battle in midfield. It's the area of a team so influential to the style, tempo, control and competitiveness of a team. A good midfield will...

Manchester City 1 Liverpool 4: Player Ratings

Liverpool turned in a Klopp-terclass performance away from the home, at the home of a real top team. The team put in a performance which conveyed the view that they are beginning to absorb the vision of the new manager. Good times ahead ahoy!  Simon Mignolet (6.5) - Simon had a really straight forward game,...

Manchester City Vs Liverpool Preview | Tactics, Team News & Stats

Liverpool suffered defeat against Crystal Palace, at Anfield, followed by a two week international break, so what is the ideal match to follow that? Erm, not Manchester City away. And yet, it might be ideal -  as expectations will be low, some of the Reds' key players have had time to rest and train,...

How To Get The Best Out Of: Dejan Lovren

Anger, bitterness, sadness. Just three emotions that greeted the majority of fans when it was announced that our beloved Mamadou Sakho would be out for around eight weeks, ruling the Frenchman out until the new year. However, these were only mild emotions, when compared to those when the fanbase realised who will most likely...

Klopp vs Rodgers – What’s Changed So Far?

It feels odd for me to write this but Jurgen Klopp's appointment as Liverpool manager wasn't welcomed by everybody. Some fans still felt Brendan Rodgers had it in him to turn it around. The media and pundits, well they didn't welcome a foreign coach replacing a 'bright, young, British talent" at a historically big...

How Are Liverpool’s New Kids On The Block Faring?

A third of the 2015/16 season has already passed, but it’s been a topsy-turvy three months for Liverpool. We’ve seen a change of manager, rumours of Steven Gerrard’s return and an injury-ravaged squad which would make Abou Diaby and Darren Anderton feel at home. Among those to have been sidelined are some of the eight...
