Liverpool 1-0 Everton: Who Was Boy of the Match?
Even against a Liverpool team with an average age of 8 years old, Everton still could not find a way to win at Anfield. That old Shankly quote about the Liverpool reserves being the second best team on Merseyside has never been more relevant than it is today. The Reds move into the 4th round of the FA Cup, despite Klopp’s best efforts, and continue their incredible run of form at home.
In goal, Adrian had a lot more to …

Lack of alternatives at the back means Liverpool hopes spurned at Spurs
Coming into this big game hope was renewed for Liverpool supporters after a thumping win at Maribor, with Spurs coming in heavy legged after a tough clash in Madrid in midweek. But within 5 minutes of kick-off, it felt like this was going to be another one of those days and so it proved.
To make things worse Spurs didn't have to play that well to dismantle us as most of the damage was self-inflicted from totally innocuous situations. Once …
Liverpool v Everton Preview - Merseyside Derby's Key Battles
It is that time of the year again - the time of the Merseyside derby. It has been more than six years since Everton have beaten Liverpool in any competition, and as the run-in approaches with a top four place at stake, Liverpool will have to be on top of their game.

Henderson's Gerrard-esque performance against United is a bad sign
Why is Jordan Henderson trying to be Steven Gerrard?
I never wanted to see a repeat performance of what I saw Steven Gerrard give in the second half against Chelsea in the 2013/14 season as he tried single handedly to make amends for his slip. It wasn't his fault but he acted like every single one of the Liverpool fans would have in that situation. Your head goes. Logic is thrown out of the window and it becomes a battle …

In the last week or so I've started to see people mentioning Henderson as our defensive midfielder. At first I thought they wanted to deploy Henderson as a deep lying …
Defensive Midfielders: Potential Targets Comparison to Liverpool’s Lucas?
With Liverpool making such positive headway during the first third of the Premier League season, there have been grumblings and moans at any supporters who dare to question the team or the tactics. It is true that, with recent seasons proving so desperate and barren, we should enjoy this season as the Reds look more competitive than ever - Rodgers’ squad currently sit second in the league.
