Before the start of the season, Liverpool was on a 13 game unbeaten streak against the top 6, dating back to January 2016. In our first match against a direct rival, we dismantled Arsenal at Anfield, winning 4-0. In the eight top 6 meetings that followed the Reds only managed to win once, a...
Dejan Lovren has been lauded with his fair share of warranted praise in recent weeks, benefiting from the leadership and guidance of Virgil van Dijk after his £75million summer switch. Heck, I wrote an article just last week on how he represented the best partner for the Dutchman.

Liverpool made their way to Old Trafford in the best of form as the Premier League's marquee fixture finally lived up to its billing, with the Red Devils emerging 2-1 victors.
Marcus Rashford's first-half brace put Manchester United in command, but Liverpool didn't give up without a fight.

Games between Liverpool and Manchester United at Old Trafford tend to follow a certain narrative with a free-flowing attacking unit coming up against a double-decker bus. Then there's the referee who's never too far from the headlines.
This game was no different, providing the perfect illustration of a Mourinho-Klopp showdown in an affair dominated by...
Liverpool were so 'un-Liverpool' like in attack, and so 'Liverpool' in their defence as they slumped to defeat at Old Trafford. The second half was a better performance and the ref was a nutcase, but that does not take away a shambolic defensive performance in first half.
Loris Karius (5) -Â Left high and dry for...
Signing for a world record £75million in January, eyebrows were certainly raised about Liverpool's decision to splash the cash on Virgil Van Dijk. Yet, the Dutchman has already proved a worthy investment, posing a towering figure at the heart of the defence. Barking orders to his teammates while showing sublime distribution, he's helped address...
Liverpool are into the last eight of the Champions League following a tepid 0-0 draw with Porto, seeing them through 5-0 on aggregate. But what were the key stats that emerged from the game?
Pass, Pass, Pass. Don’t Shoot, Shoot, Shoot
This was a game that Liverpool dominated, dictated, and played at their own tempo. The...
Job done, professional work, blah blah blah. That was a little boring, wasn't it?
Liverpool (5) 0-0 (0) Porto. Onto Old Trafford and into the quarter-finals.
Another clean sheet for Big Loris
Loris Karius (7):Â Keeps clean sheets, looks cool. And now he's done the simple stuff in a simple manner! Lively off his line in the first...
Despite stark divisions between their position in the Premier League table, this looked like a testing fixture for Liverpool. Newcastle hadn't lost a league game for over two and a half months, bar Manchester City while Rafa's ability to grind out an unlikely point meant he could never truly be ruled out the contest.
The...
It was a tough opening half to the game as Newcastle defended in an organized manner, but once Salah put Liverpool ahead, there was always going to be only one winner.
This is how the Reds fared.
Loris Karius (8) -Â Was a spectator for most of the match, but when called upon, made a world-class save...
