I've criticised Jurgen Klopp quite often this season, in all honesty.
I like the guy, I think he's pretty much everything I want in terms of how I'd like a Liverpool manager to act and conduct himself, he 'gets it'.
Part of that, is probably what makes me criticise him more than I should. I want...
THE DETAILS
Brighton and Hove Albion v Liverpool FC
Premier League
Amex Stadium, Brighton
Brighton were hoping to prey on Liverpool's dire recent away record against newly promoted sides. Liverpool were looking for their dire away record against newly promoted sides to not continue.
So what does Jurgen Klopp do? He plays a 3-4-3 with two midfielders at centre-back....
Liverpool recorded back to back wins on the road as the Reds put 5 past a hapless Brighton defence. There were many bright spots on the Reds' side, but below are the major takeaways from the game:
The defence
Illness issues to Gomez meant the already depleted Liverpool defence was weakened even further, so it was...
Liverpool picked up another three points on Saturday afternoon, showing off their flair on the counter-attack to ease past Brighton & Hove Albion with a 5-1 victory.
Here are the player ratings from the match.
Simon Mignolet - 7
Made a crucial point-blank save in the second-half to deny Brighton - an intervention that enabled Liverpool to...
In two games in three days, Liverpool dropped late points to ensure that a critical phase of the season has not started too well. The optimism that followed the Reds' 4th win on the bounce last weekend has quickly given way to cynicism and a been-there-done-that feeling.
But now that the first round of fixtures...
Liverpool's one-all draw with Chelsea was a disappointing result to take given the scoreline in the 84th minute. The manner of Willian's goal, a floated cross which found its way into the top corner, only compounded the fans' disappointment, after surrendering a three goal lead, away from home, in midweek.
The discussion about the game itself...
On a different continent in what seems like a different lifetime now I was a frat guy at an American university. We drank a lot. Nothing remarkable about that, but one particular day those of us new to the fraternity decided we would show the older guys how frat we were and went after...
Sometimes there are fluke goals.
Sometimes the opposition are just better than you.
Sometimes you can be unlucky.
The fury about the draw with Chelsea has matched that of the second half in Seville which seems a little unfair. Chelsea have the best centre-back in the country in Cesar Azpilicueta, a monster of a player in N’golo...
Liverpool and Chelsea played out a 1-1 draw on Saturday evening, with Mohamed Salah's second-half goal cancelled out by a rather fortuitous effort from Willian.
Here are the observations from the match.
Mohamed Salah shines against former-club
Here we are again; another Liverpool game, another goal for Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian winger produced another impressive display for...
Disappointing to once more throw away a lead, but given the team selection and crazy run of fixtures ahead of Liverpool, denying Chelsea a win whilst resting Mane and Firmino may well prove positive in the long run.
Here's how the Reds rated at Anfield.
Simon Mignolet (6): Very solid from corners and looked like he...
