Liverpool were far from their best, but once again they got the result, as they secured a 1-0 win away at Huddersfield. But with the Reds’ unbeaten start stretching to nine games, what were the key stats from another crucial result?
Defence Bends But Doesn’t Break
This was arguably one of Liverpool’s worst defensive performances of...
Liverpool have equalled their best-ever start to a Premier League season but the increasingly frustrating wait for the Reds to come alive goes on.
Mohamed Salah's tidy finish on 24 minutes should have set the visitors on their way to a comfortable victory, but fans would spend the final portion of the game longing for...
The international break is typically a time for everyone to take a break and recharge the batteries during a long season. The most you can usually hope for during the week off is having all your players return healthy (which rarely happens for Liverpool) and avoiding any bad news. Yet, a piece of Liverpool...
Man City’s record-breaking title win last season saw them break the 100 point barrier, scoring 106 goals and falling to just two defeats. Liverpool though proved a barrier too big to overcome.

We are all mad about football because of the ecstasy and euphoria that goes with it. The inevitable comedowns are toppled by the highs. And those highs are the best kind.
We remember them and cherish them. Just like most substances, they only give us an appetite for more. You could call it an addiction...
In mid-June of 2015, it was reported by multiple media sources, both in England and abroad, that Manchester United had agreed to sign an up-and-coming Brazilian midfielder, Roberto Firmino, for a fee of around £13m from German club, 1899 Hoffenheim.

After signing permanently for Lyon in the summer (for a meagre £10 million) after spending the 2017/18 season on loan there from...
Liverpool's midfield benefitted from £100m in investment over the summer with the surprise signing of Monaco's Fabinho, and the arrival of Naby Keita - signed from RBL last summer. However, with the injury to Oxlade-Chamberlain, we've still had to suffer through games with Gini Wijnaldum, James Milner and Jordan Henderson in the engine room.

With the international break now upon us, it's a good time to reflect on Liverpool's start to the season.
As the final whistle rang around Anfield after the 0-0 draw against Manchester City, it signalled the fourth consecutive game without a win for the Reds. This comes after quite possibly Liverpool's worst ever performance under...
Looking back, it’s really interesting to see where Liverpool are now compared to where they were at the same point in the previous season. So I thought it would be interesting to look at the side that started the opening eight games of last year, and compare and contrast where they are compared to...
