It was always going to happen. A combination of the pause for the international break combined with a perfect storm of players being injured and others being rusty from a period on the medical table was enough to disrupt the momentum that Liverpool were beginning to build.
In all honesty there were signs before the...
In hindsight it was probably definitely naive of me to write an article highlighting my concerns about Jordan Henderson's ability on the ball when the opposition press him. I was under the impression that you were allowed to point out a player's weakness and not simultaneously hate him. But alas, it was perhaps a quixotic...
When Liverpool acquired James Milner on a free transfer in the summer of 2015, question marks were raised regarding Brendan Rodgers' decision to bring in the former Manchester City utility player with the view to play him in the centre midfield position. The consensus amongst the fans was that despite getting him on a...
Liverpool's early season form has been good, flat out exciting at times, but there have also been some causes for concern. I don't want to get all negative or try to bring down the vibrant atmosphere of late because I share the joy of our side playing swashbuckling football and doing well thus far.
However,...
The wheels threaten to come off Liverpool's good start to the season when within a space of a week both Adam Lallana and Gini Wijnaldum picked up injuries and with fierce rivals Manchester United on the horizon two thirds of the Reds' starting midfield looked set to miss the tie. One of the few...
When Jürgen Klopp arrived at Liverpool, much was made over whether Daniel Sturridge - the Reds' star man - would suit the German's high-intensity pressing style of football. Comparisons were made between Sturridge's inability to fit into the style of play, and Christian Benteke's. Then came Southampton away.

As he hardly played under Rodgers last season due to injury, it’s...
It's been 12 months since Jurgen Klopp took over at Liverpool and already the Reds have been transformed. The side that came so close to winning the 2013-14 season was but a shadow in the dying weeks of Brendan Rodgers' reign. Since taking over, Klopp has rejuvenated his side, transformed the team's philosophy and...
Reds, can you believe it’s been a year since the charismatic German took over as Liverpool FC manager? That moment when your wildest football dreams came true, well they certainly did for me. Jurgen Klopp has been in his post for a year and to say it’s been eventful, is a gross understatement. Let's rewind...
It's flown by hasn't it? Klopp's appointment as Liverpool manager doesn't seem like it was a year ago. Everything about him at the club still feels fresh and new but at the same time it feels like he's part of the furniture. It's testament to the man that he's managed to come in and...
