How Fabinho Set the Template for Liverpool’s Midfield

Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over Cardiff has sparked cause for optimism among its fanbase, not just because it’s the first time Liverpool have put four past an opposition this season – a feat that becomes something of a hobby for Klopp’s team last term. No, it was also momentous for the full Premier League debut of...

Time For Forgotten Man Keita To Excel

It's hard to think of a Liverpool signing in the last decade that brought as much delight as the capture of Naby Keita. Luis Suarez is a name that instantly springs to mind, but when he traded Amsterdam for Anfield he wasn’t the world-beater he would go on to become. Mo Salah and Sadio Mane both...

The curious case of Harry Wilson’s Liverpool future

While Jürgen Klopp’s first choice Liverpool team continue to earn all of the plaudits from the media for their solid start to the season, it could perhaps be easy to forget those Liverpool players currently plying their trade elsewhere on loan spells. There are a number of young Reds currently out and about getting valuable...

Enjoying a Different Type of Liverpool

Well, this is bizarre. Not since the days of Rafa Benitez has Liverpool’s fanbase, as a collective, been able to relax. No, not when Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren compounded previously inflicted wounds, very visible wounds that kept on bleeding. Calling the 2014/15-era Glen Johnson a liability would be a compliment, Lucas Leiva’s personal hobby of...

Liverpool’s start to the season couldn’t be much better

With Liverpool sitting level on points with Man City at the top of the table, point for point, Liverpool’s start has been pretty impressive. If there is any cause for concern after a ridiculously difficult opening set of fixtures (including Champions League games), it is probably misplaced at this stage. A need for perspective That said, there is...

Liverpool’s Record-Breaking Defence Still Being Underrated

It's late October and Liverpool have conceded three goals in the Premier League. Three! This was something that felt impossible almost a year ago to the day, as Dejan Lovren and Simon Mignolet were gifting Tottenham a 4-1 win. The Reds' defence looked irreparable and Jurgen Klopp found himself at the lowest point of his Anfield...

Balance The Key Issue For Defensive-Minded Reds

Right now, Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp are in really good shape. They’re playing largely well, they look incredibly defensively solid, they’ve got strength in depth, quality across the pitch and most importantly, they’re winning football matches. But that’s not to say that there aren’t issues. Liverpool aren’t quite firing on all cylinders in an attacking...
