Crystal Palace present the next test for Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool on Saturday, with the Reds hoping to well and truly banish the ghosts of previous matches against Palace as Halloween approaches.
The Reds will be looking to stretch their unbeaten run in all competitions to 10 games, and a win in London would only strengthen...
Jurgen Klopp was right when he said Liverpool don't have a defensive issue. In the 12 months he's been with the club he's worked on making Liverpool, as a unit, much more resilient. For starters there are less holes centrally, you rarely see the backline exposed like you did under Brendan Rodgers. The team...
Liverpool Football club isn’t for the faint of hearted.
The evidence is there; between Istanbul, the now infamous games against Dortmund and Villarreal, and even that fateful night in Basel when the lights shone down on Klopp’s tenure and left Liverpool in a puddle of despair. Every game is a new cardiac examination of one’s...
Currently considered to be one of European football's premier playmakers, the Seleção's Philippe Coutinho Correia has evolved into everything Liverpool had hoped for when they acquired him from Italian giants Internazionale nearly three years ago.
Known around Merseyside as "The Little Magician," Liverpool's modest number ten has been a breath of fresh air since swapping the black...
Joint top of the Premier League. It's been a while since Liverpool fans been able to say that but, for 24 hours at least, you're able to say it. A mesmerising display in the first-half was enough to put the Reds top of the table. Yes, the second-half plateaued a little but the damage was...
Nobody really grows up dreaming of being a right-back, do they? It is, quite possibly, the least glamorous position in football.
The likes Carlos Alberto, Cafu, Philipp Lahm and Dani Alves have done their utmost to make it fashionable, but it has invariably been a role that goes relatively unnoticed, in comparison to goalkeeper, centre-back,...
To my pleasant surprise, Daniel Sturridge was handed a start by Jürgen Klopp against Manchester United on Monday evening. Usually in the "big" games, Klopp opts for Firmino to play as a false 9, to spearhead the team's press, but instead, he chose Sturridge - a choice that unfortunately did not pay dividends.
But why...
Oh, Lord this is going to be tricky.
Before I start on this complex and somewhat tricky standpoint, I’d like to issue the following caveats.
Firstly, I don’t like anything to do with Manchester United.
I’m one of those people who finds themselves wiping their hands on their jeans if I accidentally brush one of their shirts...
Christ on a bike, have you ever seen one substitution change the tempo, style and atmosphere as much as when Adam Lallana entered the melee on Monday night? Like when the producers switch to the infrared cameras in the chopper on police interceptors, or during Planet Earth. Suddenly all became clear. Liverpool began to...
From a Liverpool perspective Monday night was a night of frustration. Jose Mourinho's Manchester United arrived at Anfield with a clear game plan in mind and to their credit they executed it to near perfection. They stifled, smothered and dictated where Liverpool could and couldn't play.
For Liverpool fans it felt like deja-vu. There they...
