Jurgen Klopp feels Liverpool’s defence worked very well against Arsenal

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says that his team was well prepared to defend as a whole against Arsenal's "incredible threat" in attack. The Reds' defence managed very well against the pacy frontline of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe at Anfield on Saturday evening. Goals from Joel Matip and Mohamed Salah (2) gave Liverpool a vital 3-1...

Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal: A Tactical Breakdown

After a series of underwhelming performances, Liverpool's victory against Arsenal was a significant step in the right direction. Whereas in previous games, Liverpool had conceded a number of chances, and defended poorly, through not pressing effectively or making positional errors, the fixture on Saturday evening was far more akin to the efficient, composed and...

Predicting Liverpool’s lineup for tomorrow’s meeting with Arsenal

Liverpool and Arsenal face-off at Anfield on Saturday evening in a clash between the early leaders of the Premier League. There have been 30 goals in the last six games between these two teams at Anfield and it's safe to say we can expect more of the same again this weekend. We've had a look at...

Pep Guardiola and his Liverpool Inferiority Complex

Liverpool are in Pep Guardiola's head more than ever before. It's quite something. No sooner had Man City been denied by VAR against Tottenham than their manager was banging on about the Reds again, referencing Adrian's foot not being on his line in the UEFA Super Cup penalty shootout win over Chelsea. He can't help...

Southampton 1-2 Liverpool: A Tactical Breakdown

Liverpool's start to the season always appeared challenging. But how Liverpool would respond to this challenge would likely be the best indicator of how well the team will perform in the coming months. Playing Southampton away from home was the first potential banana skin of the season, even more so due to the 120...

Klopp’s Liverpool Evolution

Last season, Liverpool was arguably the best team in Europe. An incredible Champions League victory and a stupendous 97 point league haul; allied with 30 league wins, which was always a mark of special Premier League Champions (at least in the past!). Four games into the new season, and, so far so good. Liverpool have...

Roberto Firmino could be even better this season

Roberto Firmino has started the season like he means business. It isn’t something Liverpool fans are used to with the Brazilian usually looking off the pace when he returns to pre-season after a summer break.  It’s by no means comparable to a Sunday League player trotting round the pitch after a heavy Saturday night but...

Observations as the Liverpool Escape From St. Mary’s with a Win

Liverpool stayed perfect on the young season with a wild and topsy-turvy 2-1 win over the Saints. Liverpool were equal parts dominant and diabolical as they were lucky to go into the break ahead and then managed to make things difficult at the end despite completely controlling most of the 2nd half. After some brief...

Predicting Liverpool’s lineup for Southampton clash on Saturday

Liverpool are back in action again on Saturday when they travel to play Southampton at St Mary's in the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp's men went through 120 minutes of football on Wednesday night in Istanbul so if they can manage to take all three points from Saturday's game it will be job very well done...
