Tactical Preview: Liverpool vs. Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid’s 1-0 victory at the Wanda Metropolitano heralded the end of Liverpool’s phenomenal winning streak. The performance itself was more concerning than the defeat though, with Liverpool merely creating eight chances (four of which were shots from outside of the box), one Big Chance, but not managing to get a single one of...

Why Liverpool Should Avoid Cantwell Punt

Liverpool love a good punt on a player from a relegated side. In three of the last four summer's, the Reds have salvaged some gems from the wreckage of sides destined for the Championship. First, Georginio Wijnaldum and Andrew Robertson -- two players who arrived with relatively inexpensive price-tags and who have now established themselves as...

Let’s not go overboard about Liverpool’s ‘crisis’

Forget the coronavirus threatening to end civilisation as we know it, Liverpool's last two games have seemingly caused the end of the world instead. It was all going so swimmingly before the Reds turned up to Watford last weekend - it was a happier time when supporters weren't bickering, wins were inevitable and anything seemed...

4231 The Antidote to Liverpool’s Recent Woes

Liverpool's recent form -- if not totally reflected in results -- has taken a nosedive. Losing 3 of their last 5 games across three competitions, the Reds have looked slow of both body and mind, despite having a 10 day respite from games thanks to the Premier League's winter break. Victories over Norwich -- the game...

“Only” winning the Premier League

The notion that Liverpool “only” winning the Premier League title this season would be anticlimactic is ridiculous. Aside from the fact that it is actually not true (European Super Cup and World Club Cup anyone?), numerous media outlets, opposition fans and even some of our own have suggested that Liverpool could and should do more...

Listless In London

After an extremely poor loss away to Watford that ended Liverpool’s chances to set several records in the league this season, Liverpool had a chance to turn the page with a quick turnaround trip to Chelsea in the FA Cup. A win at Stamford Bridge could start to set things right after they had...

Would Timo Werner be a Tactical Fit for Liverpool?

Timo Werner is having quite the season. Well, that’s understating it profoundly. He’s actually made the Bundesliga his personal marksman range, scoring all sorts of goals – from volleys to tap-ins to his signature cut in and emphatic thwack. It’s that last one, the stylistic replica of Arjen Robben’s masterful trademark (but from the other flank)...

Why can’t we find a middle ground with Keita?

Four wins away from Premier League glory, two points dropped all season and various records on the verge of being broken - Liverpool supporters couldn't possibly find anything to argue about, right? Oh, we can. There is something ingrained in football fans that means we can never be completely happy, always having to pick holes in...

The case for signing Norwich City’s Todd Cantwell

21-year-old Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell is reportedly a top summer transfer target for the Reds if stories in the media are to be believed. Jurgen Klopp will have had a front seat view of Cantwell in action recently, in the Reds’ narrow 1-0 victory against the Canaries at Carrow Road. Cantwell, who has...
