The Blame Game - A Tactical look at the Villarreal loss
The blame game is funny. Liverpool lose and it's almost like some fans go out of their way to criticise a player they dislike even if their only at 10% fault for the goal that lost the Reds the match. Narrow minded doesn't do it justice. Like a bull locked on to a red flag, they'll carry on after it no matter what or how many obstacles you put in their path.
It's a bit of a self destructive trait. …
Can Piotr Zielinski Become Klopp’s Latest Polish Sensation?
There is something special between Polish players and Jurgen Klopp. Lukas Piszczek, Jakub Błaszczykowski, Robert Lewandowski all have developed into great players under the guidance of the former Dortmund boss and all of them have been relatively unknown figures within the football world before they joined him at Westfalenstadion.
With Liverpool now being heavily linked with a move for Empoli's Piotr Zielinski in the summer, Reds fans will certainly be hoping that Klopp will be able to do his magic and help another Polish player rise …
