Southampton vs Liverpool Preview | Internationals Over, Back to Business

Hallelujah. The international breaks of 2016 are over, and we've now got around four months of uninterrupted domestic football on our hands. Liverpool resume their campaign on Saturday with an away fixture against Southampton. A trip to Saint Mary's, especially on a cold November Saturday, is always a tricky one, but Liverpool go into it top...

Tactical Analysis – Roberto Firmino Liverpool’s master of space

In July 2015 Liverpool football club made a significant move in the remodelling of their squad with the signing of Hoffenheim attacker Roberto Firmino for a reported £29M fee. Reaction was mixed amongst the Liverpool fan base with many questioning the acquisition of a player that was perceived as being not top four quality...

Time to Forget the Past & Show the Belief & Mentality of Liverpool’s Players

Mention Liverpool potentially winning the Premier League title to some Reds supporters, and they will turn into quivering wrecks. The thought of Jordan Henderson holding that trophy aloft almost seems too much to comprehend, and their defensive side takes over. “Don’t jinx us”; “It’s still very early days”; “We’ve blown it so many times before,...

Potential Bundesliga replacements for Mamadou Sakho

If you need proof that Jürgen Klopp can be as ruthless as any other manager, just ask Mamadou Sakho. The French defender became a cult figure amongst large sections of the Liverpool fan base with some heroic performances, particularly in the run to the Europa League final. Despite looking ungainly, he is very effective...

Why Liverpool Need Jordan Amavi

During the latter stages of the previous transfer window, Liverpool were linked with French national Jordan Amavi from Aston Villa. But a tweet from Aston Villa’s new owner saying the Frenchman would remain at Villa Park meant the end of the possibility of a move. As you can see, I’m still hoping the links...

Why Liverpool Need… Christian Pulisic

The 14th April 2016 will go down as one of the great European nights in Liverpool’s history. It was a remarkable comeback, typical of Liverpool, from 3-1 down to win 4-3 on the night and 5-4 on aggregate against Borussia Dortmund, the most in-form team in Europe that year. Whilst most people will understandably look...

Liverpool 2016/17 v Liverpool 2013/14: Only One Winner

Back in the summer, who really expected to be this happy about Liverpool by the time early November arrived? Come on, be honest. We all saw that daunting run of early fixtures, and when the joy of beating Arsenal was soured by the woeful result at Burnley, even a top-four challenge felt a long way...

Lallana, Coutinho, Firmino and Mane – Firing Liverpool to the Top

"An outsider should never know what position my players are playing. We occupy interchangeable spaces and principles not rigid positions” - Marco Bielsa. Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool were at their rampant best against Watford. It finished 6-1 but the Reds could have easily finished with double figures as the away side failed to cope with the fluidity...

Liverpool – A Well-Oiled Machine

It seems so long ago when we had to rely on Rickie Lambert and Mario Balotelli to lead the line for Liverpool Football Club; but it was only a couple of years ago. The transformation has been staggering. What was once a toothless attack has transformed into a group of players that were vicious and...

Adam Lallana Epitomises Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool Side

Adam Lallana... *scratches head* I'm not going as far to say anybody claiming to have foreseen his evolution from a tepid attacking midfielder to this 2.0 version that Jurgen Klopp has definitely concocted in a lab a liar but I'm not not saying that either. It's been a turnaround of epic proportions for a player who was...
