Why Can Liverpool Only Win One Way?

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.

Is Jordan Henderson Liverpool’s Best Candidate For Captaincy?

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...

Don’t Call Liverpool FC A Selling Club

That...

Where Have Liverpool’s Late Goals Gone?

Trace your mind back to this time last year, when Sadio Mane gave us all the most delightful of early Christmas presents at Goodison Park. The Senegalese’s last-gasp tap-in against Everton secured three invaluable points for Liverpool, and also set an impressive statistic at the same time.

Poor Decision Making All Round For The Reds On Derby Day

79% of possession, 23 shots and 12 corners and yet somehow, Liverpool came away with just a point against The Ev. Jurgen Klopp delivered a roll of the dice before kick-off, opting to demote Philippe Coutinho and Bobby Firmino to the bench in favour of Dominic Solanke and Oxlade-Chamberlain. A double pivot of Henderson and...
