Will Rodgers prevent Liverpool setting all-time unbeaten home record?
April 23rd, 2017. Liverpool 1-2 Crystal Palace. Feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?
At that point, Jurgen Klopp was still only in his first full season as Reds manager and his side hadn't yet played in the Champions League under him.
This was still a year before the agony of Kiev, let alone the glorious triumph in Madrid and the Premier League title that followed, and Mo Salah, Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk and Alisson weren't yet Liverpool players, …
Remembering Liverpool 4-1 Leicester in 2016, amid injury chaos in 2020
Hallelujah, the final international break of 2020 is coming to a close. Whilst manager's will understandably be worried about injuries from the though schedules ahead, football fans can at least look forward to a plethora of club action leading into the new year.
Despite that, there has been a fair bit of doom and gloom this week for Liverpool supporters. With the upsetting passing of Ray Clemence coming in the midst of another national lockdown, Reds fans have had their …
Versatile Oxlade-Chamberlain Could Offer Liverpool Right-Back Solution
Jurgen Klopp loves versatile players.
Whether it is James Milner, who can cover midfield or either full-back slot, or Fabinho, who is comfortable at both centre half and defensive midfield, the German places great stock in players who can cover multiple positions.
With a bigger list of injuries than an army hospital, Liverpool will need to rotate aplenty in the upcoming period of games and turn and to players to fill in in areas that they aren't overly familiar with. …
Liverpool assistant manager can't wait for The Reds to settle in at new training ground
Pep Lijnders says it gives him "great satisfaction" to move to the club's new AXA Training Centre with the current squad.
Liverpool's departure from Melwood - their training home for 70 years - has been well-documented in recent weeks. Now, however, Lijnders is only looking forward and to the progress he hopes the club can make at their new training ground in Kirkby.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com about Melwood and the move to Kirkby, Lijnders said:
“Icons, family, history... it all …
Liverpool hopeful that duo will be fit to face Leicester City on Sunday
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is holding out hope that both Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson may be fit to face Leicester City on Sunday.
On Monday evening, it was confirmed that club captain Henderson was released from international duty with England. Henderson had come off at half time in the Three Lions' 2-0 defeat against Belgium after "feeling a bit of tightness" according to Gareth Southgate. Henderson is now back on Merseyside where he will undergo further assessment with the …
Liverpool And Their Calculated Defensive Gamble
Gambling, by its very nature, doesn't always come off.
There can be no debate that Liverpool -- after the sale of Dejan Lovren to Zenit St Petersburg -- gambled when they didn't sign a centre half last summer.
Instead, the Reds pushed the boat out to sign Thiago Alcantara from FC Bayern and planned on using Fabinho as their fourth choice centre half.
Now, with long term injuries to both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez that strategy looks shortsighted, …

Priceless Matip faces career-defining period at Liverpool
When it rains, it pours. Or in Liverpool's case, when it rains, a monsoon arrives.
The Reds find themselves in one of the most bleak, unfortunate injury situations in their recent history, following an awful period in the fitness department.
When Virgil van Dijk was ruled out for the season with cruciate ligament damage it felt bad enough, but in the weeks since, things have got even worse for Jurgen Klopp.
Having to make do without the likes of Thiago, …
How can Liverpool get Robert Firmino firing?
Roberto Firmino looked like the odd man out in attack against Manchester City. In truth, it’s nothing to be embarrassed by really. After all, most players would have trouble keeping up with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota. The Brazilan has never been blessed with blistering pace, but it was never really an issue. Mentally, he was always a couple of seconds ahead of opponents. That no longer seems to be the case.
The Liverpool No.9 has always been …
Gomez injury will keep him out for most of the season, club confirms
Liverpool defender Joe Gomez will miss "a significant part of the remainder of 2020-21" the club has confirmed.
Gomez was injured earlier this week while training with Gareth Southgate's England squad. He has since returned to Liverpool and undergone surgery to repair a damaged tendon in his knee.
The club released an official statement on Gomez's injury on Thursday:
Liverpool Football Club can confirm Joe Gomez has today undergone successful surgery to repair a tendon in his left knee. …
