On the Road Again: How Long Can Our Away Form Continue?
To quote Willie Nelson, I just can't wait to get on the road again. No, it's not because I love making music with my friends, but because Jürgen Klopp's tricky Reds seem quite unstoppable on their travels at the moment.

Blackburn vs. Liverpool Preview: This or Nothing?
Over a month ago, Liverpool played out an uninspiring draw at Anfield against Blackburn. Although a typical drab draw, the sun was shining over Merseyside. The tired looking performance did little to dampen spirits or cause concern.

Daniel Sturridge - Let's Not Get Ahead of Ourselves

This slight change in form coming from an eventual revision of tactics, new recruits such as Markovic, Can and Moreno gradually finding their feet at a new club and what shockingly appears to be, dare it be said, an almost capable defence. Although what might really kick …
