I am a massive fan of stats. I am unabashedly a proponent of using stats to bolster analysis wherever possible, and I think that people who generally tend to avoid stats are missing a trick. Of course stats don’t tell you the entire picture, and there’s no substitute for simply watching the game but...
Sometimes, you can’t help but wonder if Liverpool actually enjoy doing things the hard way. Sunday’s insipid 2-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace was one of the poorest showings of the season, at a time when such a flat display was inexcusable.
Jurgen Klopp had a bad day at the office, making his...
Two gritty wins away to Stoke and West Brom marked two giant leaps forward for Liverpool in their bid for Champions League football. Keeping out two teams that are renowned for being prolific from set-pieces, it seemed a major corner had been turned.
However, it was old habits that died hard at Anfield on Sunday...

Nothing is certain in live apart from death, taxes and Liverpool fans discussing Daniel Sturridge's future.
There seems to be no middle ground when it comes to the goal scorer supreme. One week he's the only player in the Premier...
“Sell Emre Can in the summer”, ”he’s such an average player”, “I’d rather Kev Stewart started ahead of him now”.
Bet you’re feeling a little foolish if you uttered words of that ilk with regards to Emre Can earlier in the season. Keep it quiet, but I may even have had a few digs too,...
No type of win betters Liverpool's deserved 1-0 win over West Brom on Sunday.
Hammering sides often can be very entertaining for the impartial - but there is nothing more satisfying than the wins where it requires a dogged mentality, determination and grit.
The Reds coped through adversity in a nerve-wracking finale; which just goes to...
The last five minutes of Liverpool’s encounter with West Brom may well have been the strangest of our season.
I’ve never been a fan of sending goalkeepers up in the dying seconds of the game – not because I’m against fun or anything like that, but because it hardly ever works. People may remember Jimmy...
Most of this week was spent waiting on some very significant news. It's a peculiar form of existence, waiting. Obviously, one has to press on with the mundanity of daily existence but always with an awareness that if that news is unfavourable, then the time doing those routine things would have been infinitely better...
At the start of the week I penned an article discussing the Liverpool players in the running for the club’s Player of the Year award.
I chose five - Sadio Mane, Adam Lallana, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Jordan Henderson - and gave honourable mentions to Gini Wijnaldum and James Milner.
The reaction to...
Liverpool will take another huge step in securing their place in next season's Champions League if they can overcome the tough challenge of West Bromwich Albion, as they make the trip to the Hawthorns on Sunday.
Aerial onslaught from a typically motivated Tony Pulis side awaits, but Liverpool will be extremely well positioned if they...
