Yep, you read that title right. I’m going to argue Phil Coutinho is the best player in the Premier League this season. I have numbers, I have intuition and I have absolutely no fear of the backlash.
First of all, I appreciate there will be two instant reactions to this. The first is: he’s not...
Liverpool's entertaining 3-3 draw away at Arsenal on Friday evening was definitely one for the neutral - but not if you're a Reds supporter and have any regard whatsoever for the health of your heart.
A topsy-turvy game saw the visitors race into a two-goal lead which seemed unassailable at the time, with the Reds...
A lot of clubs have a rotation problem, balancing the heavy requirements of the winter schedule can be daunting, but Liverpool... they're different. For once Liverpool have a deep enough squad that rotation is not an issue at all, but the Reds do have a rotating problem. The focus of supporter ire changes from...

Liverpool have had a bit of a stop-start month this December. Impressive wins at home to Spartak and away to Bournemouth have been overshadowed by two poor home draws against West Brom and...
Liverpool were in total control. And then they weren’t. And then they salvaged a point. An absolutely bonkers game and statistically it’s hard to look at games like this. But nevertheless, here are my statistical highlights from Liverpool 3-3 Arsenal.

With 13 wins from their last 14 home league games, the Gunners will be hoping to take Liverpool to task on Friday night. Wenger and co will almost certainly still be hurting...
Whilst looking at some of the stats that fell out of Liverpool’s win over Bournemouth, one, in particular, stood out to me – seven out of Liverpool’s nine Premier League wins had been by three goals or more. I quickly realised that our three Champions League group stage wins fit this narrative too, and...
We've all been a bit dismayed after the ignominy of back to back home draws. This after a promising run of results, following the Spurs nightmare at Wembley. Whilst hugely frustrating, this is normal for where the squad is right now.
Perhaps the emotions involved in consecutive games against Spartak and Everton affected the energy...
Jurgen Klopp previously claimed that “being skipper of Liverpool is the hardest job in world football because the man who had the armband before you is Steven Gerrard.” That premise seems to be ringing true.
In truth, whoever took over from Gerrard was destined to fail in the eyes of Liverpool fans. Perhaps that’s why...
