Burnley dispatched Liverpool with relative ease this weekend. No matter what the stats or the media say a 2-0 scoreline didn't flatter them. Liverpool may have had 81% of the possession but Burnley, to use a Brendan Rodgers phrase "dictated the space". Liverpool never really looked like scoring and Burnley looked as though it was a...
The early stages of any football season are difficult to assess accurately. Teams are all coming off of pre season schedules with different demands in terms of travel and commitments to various sponsors. Star players are also often behind their colleagues in terms of preparation time following international matches or competitions.

Liverpool will be hoping for a calmer three points this week, as they head to Turf Moor to take on Burnley in their second game of the 2016-17 Premier League season.
The game was initially meant to be played at Anfield, but due to the Main Stand developments, the two clubs agreed to flip the...
Gameweek one is done. We've dissected all of what happened, and I think we can agree that despite getting the three points against Arsenal, there are chinks in Liverpool's armour that we need to sort as we go along.

It was a Jekyll and Hyde weekend for Liverpool fans as the Reds rounded off their pre-season in bizarre fashion. An emphatic 4-0 victory at Wembley against Barcelona was followed up with a 4-0 loss against Mainz in Germany. Defeat against Klopp's old club pissed on our bonfire. Yes it's only pre-season and results...
The Spaniard has been under severe criticism since he’s joined the football club, and the honeymoon period between Moreno and fans have long been over. The times where his recovery tackles and ability to burst forward was an asset that left fans raving about have long gone, and no longer will you hear positivity...
Neil Poole discusses why he believes a winter break would be good for Liverpool and its supporters.
