Fourteen league matches into the season, fifteen goals conceded, the largely criticised defence has improved over the last few weeks, but we still see individual errors. But come January, Jon Flanagan and Mamadou Sakho should be fit enough to return to the playing field. Â This article looks at the best defensive lineup Liverpool can...
Jurgen Klopp has taken his record as Liverpool manager from three wins in seven games to six in ten, after his Reds side defeated Swansea 1-0 at Anfield on Sunday evening to round off a good week.
The match itself showed two components associated with a Jurgen Klopp side; the relentless pressure that pins the...
After two wins on the bounce we now have Swansea City in our sights. The Swans have a number of links with Liverpool FC such as John Toshack, Tommy Smith, Colin Irwin, Brendan Rodgers, Colin Pascoe, Jonjo Shelvey and Joe Allen amongst others, and promises to be a good game.
According to reports, Jordan Henderson and Jordan...
In America, there are essentially three types of holidays: 1) Those where we eat until we hate ourselves, 2) Those where we give overpriced gifts to each other, to later return them, and 3) Those where we don’t know what else to do, so we blow things up.

It was a far cry from the demolition of Manchester City on Saturday, but Liverpool picked up all three points against Bordeaux on Thursday evening. It was a victory which guaranteed the Reds qualification from the Europa...
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...
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...
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.
