Well, it wasn't pretty but after making eight changes, giving players a go in different positions and blooding a few youngsters it wasn't going to be, was it?
It was an intriguing watch but not if you're a fan of entertainment. It was once again up to Liverpool to be patient in possession and work...
Generally speaking, wins come in different categories.
So far this season, we’ve had the rollercoaster (Arsenal, Crystal Palace), the batterings (Leicester, Hull and Watford), the bossed win (Chelsea) and the routine (Derby and Burton Albion). Saturday saw us find a new stream. The eked out win. The hard yards.
Of course, it wasn’t supposed to be...
Last Thursday (24/11/16), Steven Gerrard confirmed his retirement from football after over eighteen years in the professional game. Gerrard spent the first seventeen years of his career at boyhood club Liverpool before moving to LA Galaxy for the final eighteen months of his glittering career. The midfielder made 748 appearances for the two clubs,...
The Reds weren't rampant. The floodgates didn't open like many had expected them to prior to kick-off.. Klopp's men didn't dismantle yet another side at Anfield.
Instead, it was tense and a little uncomfortable as Sunderland threatened to frustrate the home side. They held out for 75 minutes but in the end Liverpool came away with...

Originally, a False 9 was a lone striker who, instead of staying high up the pitch like a traditional striker, would drop into midfield and look to drag the centre-back pairing into areas they weren't comfortable in to enable teammates to exploit the space they had created. Cesc Fabregas played it for Spain. Pep Guardiola...
Saido Mane signed for Liverpool over five months ago in a £34 million deal from last Saturday's opponents Southampton. The Senegalese international has played in eleven of the Reds' twelve league games so far, interestingly the one game that he didn't appear in was the one game we have lost this season - the...
A draw away to Southampton isn't the worst result but given how the events played out it's disappointing to say the least. The Reds carved out some good chances but were wasteful throughout when in front of goal. The finishing clinic they put on against Watford just a fortnight ago eluded them against the Saints. Manchester City's...
Liverpool kept knocking on the door, and loosening the locks but they just could not break down a very resolute Southampton side today.
This is how the Reds fared.
Loris Karius (6.5) - Spectator for the whole of the game. Came out once to make a punch. Released the ball at the earliest whenever he got it.
Nathaniel...
“We watch the market all the time and we need to be prepared for different situations and one of them is injuries,”
“The Africa Cup of Nations we already knew about so we don’t need to be influenced or surprised about that but it could be a moment when we approach the market.
“It’s not about...
