Georginio Wijnaldum: Slow Starter or Solid Signing?

Georginio Wijnaldum was signed from a relegated Newcastle United this summer in a transfer that was, to most, unexpected. The Netherlands international, who signed for Newcastle only last summer from Eredevisie outfit PSV, carried with him a reputation for drifting in and out of games a long with a price tag exceeding the 20...

Missed Opportunities for Liverpool in the Transfer Window

I know many will be thinking after reading that title. "You cynical bastard. The transfer window has only just shut and you're already putting a negative spin on it. Passing judgement before Klopp's even had the chance to field his strongest XI". And to those who are thinking that - you're probably right. It may be...

Jordan Henderson – Lack Of Ability

Jordan Henderson has been a heavily discussed topic amongst Liverpool fans for the past year or so, there is probably a 50-50 split between fans who think he isn’t good enough and those, who are still behind him as a player and give him the support he probably deserves. I would like to mention...

Liverpool’s Defence: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

When the 2015-16 season came to an end, there was disappointment for Liverpool fans as the Reds failed to make it into European competition for the following season but it was shadowed by an anticipation for what the summer would bring.

James Milner Can’t be the Long-Term Left-Back at LFC

"Milly can play there, especially in the style of play we think we should play. Full-back is not only a winger in the offence situations. It’s a really good position for Milly." Jurgen Klopp's comments in the post match Spurs press conference didn't go down too well with fans who had hoped the German manager...

Klopp’s Reluctance To Play a Striker May Cost Liverpool

The Reds have now played their three Premier League games before the International break. It's been a mixed bag. In the opening game against Arsenal they put on a 20 minute second half masterclass which completely blew the home side away as Klopp's side won a seven goal thriller. Next up was the trip...

Tottenham 1 – 1 Liverpool | Tactical Analysis

The early stages of the league season have been inconsistent at best for Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool side. The first match away at Arsenal was a game of high emotion and an even higher tempo as both sides struggled to find any defensive cohesion. Liverpool still took the three points to face Burnley...

Jurgen Klopp’s System May Have No Place for Daniel Sturridge

For the first time in over a decade, Liverpool boast a vast array of striking options.   Gone are the days where the likes of David N'gog, Iago Aspas or Andriy Voronin would be forced to deputise in the absence of Liverpool's first choice striker - currently, Liverpool have four strikers capable of leading...

Capitulations – Why are Liverpool so prone to them?

Sixty-three minutes into the game, and Liverpool were 4-1 up at the Emirates having just blitzed the Arsenal defence to pieces in a typical high octane, all guns blazing, Jürgen Klopp manner. Yet less than a minute later, Arsenal had grabbed a goal back and were suddenly back in contention. Whilst this could be attributed...

Taking Risks Key to Liverpool’s Success This Season

Liverpool’s start to their 2016/17 Premier League campaign has, with pinpoint accuracy, summed up what fans have come to expect from Jurgen Klopp’s reds – inconsistency. A breath-taking attacking performance that was enough to see off top four rivals Arsenal was followed by a toothless display away at Burley and, unfortunately, it is from...
