Jurgen Klopp's preparations for Liverpool's Champions League tie with FC Bayern took a blow today with news that star forward Roberto Firmino missed Monday's training sessions with a virus.
As reported in the Liverpool Echo, Firmino was unable to take any part in training due to the illness and it is unclear if he will...
"He was a player I thought was one of the best in the Bundesliga so, when I saw that Liverpool had signed him, I thought: 'How could Liverpool do this?"
Those were the words of Jurgen Klopp back in 2016, as he gushed over the quality of Roberto Firmino.
The Brazilian must have felt like a...
Liverpool produced the perfect response after two frustrating draws against Leicester and West Ham with a routine 3-0 win against Bournemouth to retake their place at the top of the table before Manchester City face Chelsea on Sunday. The Reds delivered a full-proof performance with Sadio Mane opening the scoring before a goal from...
Liverpool moved back to the top of the Premier League for the time being with a fantastic 3-0 win over Bournemouth. But what are the key stats from yet another top performance at Anfield?
Midfield Maestro Naby Leads The Charge

I despised football when the final whistle blew at West Ham.
More points dropped in the Premier League title race, but more worryingly a limp performance by Liverpool, who looked anything but a team trying to go five points clear at the top.

As I start writing this piece post midnight to banish the memories of the game unsuccessfully, it is quite clear that Liverpool are heading into their biggest challenge yet this season. Liverpool dropped points for the second game in a row and one can surely feel the breath of Man City on the back...
Liverpool’s lead at the top is now just two points after another frustrating draw against West Ham.
GOALKEEPER:
Alisson 6
Carried no fault from the goal and did well dealing with everything else thrown at him.
DEFENCE:
James Milner 6
Struggles against Anderson as many expected him to do, lacking the pace of Trent Alexander Arnold but he did get...
Liverpool were always going to drop points against a non-top-six side eventually, simply by the law of averages.
To have almost reached February before succumbing to one of the Premier League's so-called 'lesser' outfits really is an achievement to be proud of.
Think about how long ago August was and what you were doing back then....
Sadio Mane has not scored in 18 of his last 23 appearances for Liverpool - that is quite some stat. In isolation this is nowhere near good enough for a wide-forward. However, what Mane brings to this side is something which very few attacking players in world football could offer. Whether he's playing on...
While Mohamed Salah once again stole all of the headlines in Liverpool's latest win over Brighton at the Amex Stadium at the weekend, it can be quite easy for criticism to be drawn to his attacking colleagues as to their contributions to goals this season.
Jürgen Klopp's revered front three draw plaudits the world over...
