The Swansea defeat was a real kick in the teeth for Liverpool. After a weekend where all bar one of our top 4 rivals gained maximum points. Yet it is too early to panic after previously going on such a long, unbeaten league run.

"They are like a Formula 1 car. But at 4pm in London it will be difficult to speed, they would be a car like any other. We needed to make sure there was traffic, we could not let them have open roads to drive in." - Carlos Carvahal.

Liverpool fell to their first defeat in 19 games with a woeful performance as they lost 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium.
Lack of clinical finishing costs Reds dearly
Some days it’s your day. Some days it isn’t. Last week I mentioned how Salah, Firmino and Mane all scored low percentage chances, but this week it was...
Liverpool were agonisingly abject, going down by a single goal against Swansea City on Monday evening.
Alfie Mawson's sweet finish in the first-half was enough for a dogged home side, who came into the match sitting bottom of the table.
The Welsh side parked the bus and got their rewards, leaving Liverpool fans angling for a...
Typical Liverpool eh? Beat the Premier League leaders one week, lose to the league's bottom the next. It was a disjointed Reds side up against a spirited Swansea outfit, who displayed tremendous team-spirit and character to come out with a 1-0 win that ensured Liverpool couldn't extend their advantage over Spurs to more than...

Since Carlos Carvalhal's arrival, Swansea have slowly gone about making themselves more difficult to beat. A more congested midfield line is how Carvalhal has tried to shore things up at the back....
Sadio Mane is more than just the second line of a viral song about Liverpool F.C’s frontline.
In 2016/2017 he was Liverpool’s best player, his form reflected in his 2nd place finish - behind his Liverpool compatriot Mohamed Salah - in 2017’s CAF African Player Of The Year awards. The Senegalese forward was so integral...
From start to finish, Liverpool's Premier League tie with Manchester City was electric. Essentially, two very similar schools of tactical thinking came together, and on this occasion, Klopp's relentless pressing from the front, numerical overloads, and astute counter-pressing positioning came out on top.
Instead of breaking down the goals in this analysis, because a majority...
