It feels surreal, really, given absolutely no Liverpool fan is willing to actually say the words. You know the ones. The ones in the title of this article. Liverpool. Premier League champions. It all feels like a huge joke, really. Then the numbers hit you. An unassailable lead. Not borne out of logic, but of […]
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Xherdan Shaqiri missed the victory over Wolves due to a minor hamstring injury. A Sadio Mané strike late in the first half was enough to give The Reds a very hard-fought victory at Anfield, restoring a 13-point lead at the top of the table for Klopp’s men, with a […]
It was arguably the most frustrating aspect of the irritating 1-1 draw with Napoli in the latest Champions League – Fabinho picking up a fairly serious ankle injury. The Brazilian midfield linchpin has been one of the standout performers for Liverpool since the mid-point of last season, and his influence on the side has grown […]
It’s been a long time since we saw any meaningful contribution from Xherdan Shaqiri in a Liverpool shirt. In truth, it probably came in that memorable Champions League semi-final win over Barcelona at Anfield, when his beautiful curling cross was met by a thumping Gini Wijnaldum header to bring Liverpool level in the tie.

Six games, 18 days. Forget the 100 per cent start to the new league season, this is the period where the bulk of Jurgen Klopp’s squad will be put through the wringer. The European champions will barely have an opportunity to breathe once the team are reunited following the international break and the return to […]
The 4-1 dismantling of Norwich City or the Super Cup triumph over Chelsea should be the highlight of the two weeks old 2019/20 campaign but the biggest positive so far arrived in the 2-1 victory against Southampton. No, it wasn’t Sadio Mane continuing his destructive 2019 with a goal and an assist. It wasn’t Roberto […]
The team Jurgen Klopp named to face Lyon in Geneva on Wednesday evening was interesting for a number of reasons. Not only were Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker given also starts much quicker than anticipated following their return to pre-season from their extended, post-international tournament breaks, but the midfield selection and composition was […]
Liverpool completed their pre-season tour of The United States with a 2-2 draw against Sporting CP in Yankee Stadium, New York in the early hours of Thursday morning. The draw was the Reds’ third game of their tour, and the first game they didn’t taste defeat in after falling to Borussia Dortmund in Indiana and […]
After a tiring but ultimately thrilling season, Liverpool are almost ready to go again. A number of players will return to Melwood for pre-season training next week, as preparations for another huge campaign begin for Jurgen Klopp and his staff. It’s been a relatively silent summer on the transfer front so far, barring the addition […]
