When it rains, it pours. Or in Liverpool’s case, when it rains, a monsoon arrives. The Reds find themselves in one of the most bleak, unfortunate injury situations in their recent history, following an awful period in the fitness department. When Virgil van Dijk was ruled out for the season with cruciate ligament damage it […]
Jurgen Klopp sprung a surprise in Liverpool’s recent 1-1 draw against Manchester City at The Etihad. After Diogo Jota scored a hat-trick against Atalanta in the Champions League a few days prior to the clash with Pep Guardiola’s team, speculation was rife that Klopp may drop Roberto Firmino, one of his key lieutenants, and retain […]
As I have grown up, I have witnessed titanic clashes between footballing behemoths. Games for which the world would stand still for 90 minutes in order to witness the spectacle. In the early noughties, it was Arsenal and Manchester United; then Chelsea and United; Liverpool and Ferguson’s side followed briefly, before the rise of Pep […]
The points were shared at the Etihad Stadium as Liverpool and Manchester City played out a 1-1 draw in the final match before we head into another international break. It was probably a fair result with both teams failing to create too many clear-cut chances. City will feel the more disappointed of the two sides, […]
“I don’t think any system could have defended tonight Sadio, Mo & Diogo, the way they played, with the support of the others.” In his post-match presser, Jürgen Klopp was bubbling with praise for his entire team, championing the manner in which the team defended with concentration and discipline, and attacked with synchronicity and fluidity.

Can you think of a more high-profile, damaging injury to a Liverpool player than Virgil van Dijk’s at Everton? I’m not sure there has ever been one that has had the potential to define an entire season like Van Dijk’s, such is his colossal stature at the club. Having had him available throughout almost all […]
Nat Phillips was picked as the man of the match award in Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over West Ham on Saturday last. The performance — and individual plaudits — represents somewhat of a redemption for the 23-year old centre-half. With 12 Championship clubs chasing the Bolton natives’ signature in the summer, Phillips — who had been […]

With minimal rest between games and an extremely unfortunate recent injury record, Liverpool are battling, hard, each week. Late on Saturday evening, West Ham United went to Anfield without their in-form striker Michail Antonio, but still with a clear, disruptive game plan in mind. David Moyes’ West Ham were structured in a 5-4-1 system, with […]
For so long, Liverpool have been crying out for top class quality behind Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. The Reds’ front-three have been the best attacking unit in world football over the past three years, but if one of them is missing, their absence is felt hugely. Taking out one of the trio […]
