Liverpool vs Porto Preview – Potential Key Battles

Liverpool have a breather from the pulsating title race developing in the Premier League, as they get the chance to seek European glory instead. The next obstacle in their route in the Champions League is Porto, whom the Reds met last year and beat 5-0 on aggregate. Nevertheless, it would be remiss of the...

Jordan Henderson: Silencing the Critics Against the Saints

Jordan Henderson. A name that instantly divides Liverpool fans. But it's a name that will certainly be ringing out on the terraces for the coming days after his inspirational substitute appearance against Southampton. The skipper is always a controversial topic of conversation but his performance at St Mary's was one that showed what he is...

Klopp Knows Better Than You

The manager knows better than you. That is often read as a conversation ender when it should be the beginning. Liverpool have a detail-oriented, world class manager who makes decisions that do not fit with popular opinion among casual fans, nor do they comport with the analysis of those who spend ungodly amounts of time collecting...

No More Conservative Midfields for Liverpool

This title race is killing you, admit it. All the times Liverpool were buried in sixth, meagre and irrelevant seem like the golden days of old compared to the ninety-minute-long heart attack Liverpool fans are forced to endure on a weekly – sometimes bi-weekly – basis. Bring Hodgson back, for God’s sake. Seeing as that’s unlikely,...

Rotation, Rotation, Rotation – Give It A Rest

A change is as good as rest is how the saying goes, but with a maximum of eleven games to go and only four-midweek matches, is it time for Klopp to give it a rest with his rotation game? The run-in could favour Liverpool, with City having Chelsea, Spurs and Man Utd still to go,...

The Reds, who...

How Much Will Tiredness Affect the Premier League Title Race?

The Premier League title race is going to be decided by fine margins this season, as the battle reaches boiling point. Liverpool and Man City have been at loggerheads throughout the campaign, which for the neutrals watching on must have made for a thrilling spectacle. Both sides are churning out points at rapid rates and the...

The Growing Influence of Fabinho on Liverpool’s Build-Up Play

Liverpool dominating possession but failing to break down a well-organised defence became an all too familiar tale last season. From bore draws at home to Stoke and Manchester United to an away point at Everton, a lack of progression and intelligence in our build-up play was a frustrating trend we just couldn't shake off....

How Will Liverpool Cope Fighting on Two Fronts?

We're entering the final phase of the season, and four possibilities remain; the agony of another campaign without silverware, victory in a sensational title race, the sweet consolation of Champions League glory or the outright euphoria of landing both. There's a sense, though, that Liverpool's domestic and continental ambitions are independent, that the Reds might...

Would The Reds Take Their Ex Back?

Never go back… It’s a sentiment echoed by many Liverpool supporters when it comes to those cherished heroes who stabbed them where it hurts most. As Karl Coppack put it in a piece for this very website, the mental calculation is a very simple one regarding the investment a fan puts into a player: “I’d subscribed...
