Liverpool Aren't Lucky
There’s a strange narrative appearing online. Not only are Liverpool lucky to be in the position they find themselves in, but they’re also boring.
Firstly, we’ll address the latter. Fans aren’t used to seeing the level of control shown by the Reds this season. Even the Centurions didn’t have as many points as Liverpool do at this stage of the campaign. Jurgen Klopp’s men haven’t been thrashing teams like Man City did during the 2017/18 season but it feels as …

On the night Liverpool were finally crowned Premier League champions, Jürgen Klopp was, as ever, keen to highlight the effort made by everyone at the club in putting The Reds right back up on their perch.
Klopp and co had gathered the team together in a hotel for last night's Chelsea vs Manchester City encounter. It was an inspired decision in the end as it was the night Liverpool's title changed from champions-elect to simply 'champions'.

The Fab Factor

Liverpool's likely lineup against Crystal Palace tonight at Anfield
Liverpool will look to move three points closer to league title number 19 when they meet Crystal Palace at Anfield tonight. We've had a look at the possible starting lineup for The Reds.
Jürgen Klopp's men drew 0-0 at Everton on Sunday evening, moving them one point closer to securing the championship. Tonight's game gives Liverpool the chance to add three more points to their tally. However, Roy Hodgson's Eagles are on a run of four consecutive league victories so …
Jurgen Klopp's Tactical Conundrum
Liverpool players are often accused of being too reliant on the system they’re being deployed in. It’s used as a criticism and as a way to downplay the achievements of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
“In other teams, they’d be nowhere near as effective.”
And while this might be true, it’s actually adding weight to the managerial ability of Jurgen Klopp. The former BVB boss is often written off as a passion merchant and what he does tactically …
Thiago Could Provide Silva Lining for Lovren-Less Liverpool
The ongoing global pandemic has already had a big impact on football finances.
With games returning behind closed doors, clubs have been deprived of matchday revenues, in terms of hospitality, ticket sales, and other streams of income, such as club shop sales. Additionally, and more impactfully, television rebates -- even given the fact they have been pushed out for another year -- will hamstring many teams' abilities to flex their financial muscles in the transfer market.
Liverpool have already felt …

Robertson and Salah expected to feature against Crystal Palace but Milner will miss out
Jürgen Klopp expects to have Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah involved in Wednesday night's clash with Crystal Palace at Anfield.
Robertson wasn't in the matchday squad against Everton while Salah was on the bench but didn't come on in the 0-0 draw at Goodison Park.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com before Sunday's match, Klopp explained the reasoning his Everton selection:
“There are different reasons for the line-up. “It’s a really special time and in this time, after four weeks’ pre-season and preparation, …
“The worst game since the restart”… and why I couldn’t care less
Frustration, anguish, fits of anger and a bore draw, Liverpool may have returned to action in a less than stellar fashion… but I’m glad that it's back.
The much anticipated return of the Merseyside derby may have ultimately delivered an anemic whistle instead of the earth shattering bang we had hoped for but it was a timely reminder of just how deep-rooted the emotional attachment to the Redmen truly is.
Sat eagerly on our haunches for a three gruelling months, …
