Tactical Analysis: Van Dijk Shines as Reds Pass Turf Moore Test

The stage was set for Liverpool to drop their first points of their new campaign. No sooner had the referee ushered the ball towards the centre circle to kickstart proceedings, than Sean Dyche was seen gesticulating towards his players to kick the ball long towards the Liverpool defence. Why? Well, as Sean Dyche pointed...

Virgil van Dijk – The Game Changer

I have to start the article with a disclaimer - English is not my native language and I fear my vocabulary will fail me in describing just how amazing Virgil van Dijk is. It is a task even Shakespeare might have found impossible if he had to create a sonnet about Liverpool's number four. The...

Observations as Liverpool cruise to Turf Moor win

Your team hasn't won 13 straight league games, doesn't have the UEFA Player of the Year at centre-back and aren't the European Cup holders? Can't relate, sorry. Liverpool cruised to a comfortable win away to Burnley on Saturday evening, continuing their unmatched 100% start to this Premier League campaign. A slice of luck assisted the...

Player Ratings as Liverpool Sweep Burnley Aside

An exceedingly comfortable 3-0 victory against the most abhorrent club in the Premier League. They tried their usual dirty, boring tactics but were made to look like a bunch of part-timers by the Europeans Champions. A thoroughly satisfying win as we head into the international break. Adrian: 6 Had very little to do. Easy game for...

Did Liverpool miss a trick in not re-signing Coutinho?

Liverpool fans this summer were divided in their desire to see Phillipe Coutinho back at the club. Some argued that it would bring welcome quality and depth to Liverpool’s attack, whilst others argued that the club had moved on from the Brazilian and that his manner of departure was unforgivable. Emotions aside, though, and...

Champions League to affect Liverpool’s Title Push?

So the Champions League draw’s been completed in Monaco, and Liverpool know who they have to beat to progress. Everyone knows, but to reiterate it’s Napoli, Salzburg, and Genk. Easy, right? Nothing’s ever easy, and Liverpool can’t underestimate anyone. It could have been a lot worse, though. The Reds are around 7/1 with most bookies...

Predicting Liverpool’s lineup for the Burnley game on Saturday

Jurgen Klopp brings his Liverpool team to face Burnley at Turf Moor this Saturday evening as The Reds look to maintain their 100% start to the season. Liverpool won 3-1 at Burnley last December - a night when Joe Gomez suffered a broken left leg, ruling him out for around four months. This time, Klopp's injury...

Joel Matip’s impressive start to 2019/20

Liverpool’s win over Arsenal last weekend included several star performers in Jurgen Klopp’s side. Mo Salah was back to his very best as he scored two goals – one of which will be a contender for Goal of the Month, even if Sky Sports’ commentary failed to provide suitable audio commentary to the goal. Virgil van...

The lessons to be learned from the Bobby Duncan incident

To an extent, Bobby Duncan had it all. Signed up by his boyhood club, the 18-year-old made his debut for the first-team during pre-season and even scored during the 6-0 win over Tranmere Rovers. He was included in the travelling party, too, as the Reds went on a tour of America for the second...
