Tactical Breakdown: Brighton 1-1 Liverpool

Before looking at tactics I think it's important to preface any tactical discussion within the unique circumstances players, managers and clubs find themselves in, especially Liverpool FC. Jürgen Klopp's team is currently in the midst of a season in which their pre-season was disrupted, their transfer plans unexpectedly affected and in which games are being...

Henderson concedes it was “very frustrating” to come away from Brighton game with only a point

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson couldn't hide his disappointment after his side had to settle for a 1-1 draw in their clash with Brighton on Saturday.

Liverpool will need to bring in a midfielder when the season ends. Gini Wijnaldum’s future is still up in the air, Jordan Henderson has picked up a few knocks recently and isn’t getting any younger. Naby Keita can’t go ten games without an injury and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has similar bad luck. Thiago, due to...

Injuries and VAR distract from below-par performances

It's hard to believe that Liverpool are on the cusp of the Round of 16 in the Champions League and sitting pretty among the early pace-setters in the Premier League.

Central to that performance was the ability...

Neco Williams And The Toxic Culture of Scapegoating

Liverpool, as a collective, were poor in their 2-0 defeat at Anfield to Atalanta in the Champions League this past week. Jurgen Klopp -- wary of the physical toll that a stupidly compacted season will take on his players -- made a raft of changes and his team, predictably played with a lack of synergy...

Jürgen Klopp pays tribute to the late Diego Maradona

Jürgen Klopp had plenty on his mind following Liverpool's 2-0 defeat at home to Atalanta in the Champions League on Wednesday night. Yet, The Reds boss still took time in his post-match press conference to share his thoughts on one the passing of one of the greatest football players of all time. Diego Maradona passed...

Five Centre-backs Jurgen Klopp Should Consider In January To Ease Defensive Woes

Liverpool could be forced to splash out in the January transfer window after suffering an injury crisis at the heart of their defence. Virgil Van Dijk and Joe Gomez are unlikely to play again this season, while the club did not replace Dejan Lovren after selling him to Zenit Saint Petersburg. That has left...
