Coming into this game, Brendan Rodgers instilled yet another new formation. Using all but one of the team who faced Norwich, he utilised a 3412 tactic, to the surprise of not many people. This of course added to Rodgers’ constant idea of “transition” which is as equally frustrating as it is futile. Nevertheless, the...
A crutch for Liverpool over the course of the past few seasons, Aston Villa return to Anfield without Christian Benteke. Of course, Liverpool won’t have access to the big centre forward either, who is out for the next two fixtures with a hamstring injury. Villa are back at home in 17th place, just above the...
Liverpool are in limbo. No matter what side of the fence you sit on when it comes to Brendan Rodgers you can't bury your head deep enough in the sand to not see that the club is currently in no man's land.

I should've been mad but that anger and resentment after a humbling loss subsides when it becomes a weekly occurrence, and it has with the Reds as of late. In the last 12 games we've conceded 2 and 3 to Manchester United, 3 to Crystal Palace, 3 to West Ham, 4 to Arsenal and...
