A Team of Rocks Polished Into Diamonds

Ask anyone who the most transformative presence at Liverpool football club has been over the last decade, and the answer will be unanimous. Jurgen Norbert Klopp. However, while it’s practically indisputable to say that the German has done the best job of any recent Premier League manager, it’s often understated exactly how he got there. Liverpool...

Why Jadon Sancho is Liverpool’s Next Step Forward

Last week, this writer published a piece exploring how it is practically impossible to upgrade on this Liverpool team. Which, obviously, would make this piece seem slightly obtuse: why should the Reds pursue a very expensive winger if it won’t actually upgrade them? Well, despite currently being un-upgradeable: the best team in the world, reigning...

Wolves 1-2 Liverpool: Key stats as Reds refuse to relent

And so the march continues. There were spells in this frantic contest where Liverpool's unbeaten run looked in real peril, but at the ground where their title 'rivals' Manchester City so spectacularly collapsed, they held firm before snatching victory. It's unlikely that the Premier League has ever seen a side with this capacity to grind...

Wolves 1-2 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match?

Those dastardly Reds have done it again; the pesky mentality monsters have stolen 3 points at Molineux after a very below-par performance.

Relentless Liverpool Tame Wolves Late On

Liverpool kept their Premier League winning streak alive with a hard fought 2-1 victory away to Wolves. Goals in either half from Jordan Henderson and Roberto Firmino -- either side of a Raul Jimenez headed equaliser -- sufficed for the Reds in what is likely to be one of their most difficult games for the...

Mo Salah: Both underappreciated & overprotected?

Contrary to popular belief, Mohamed Salah is much more like Cristiano Ronaldo than Lionel Messi. The Egyptian superstar may possess the latter's gorgeous left foot and low centre of gravity, but there is so much more about him that screams Ronaldo. Away from the grinning face and all-round likeable personality, there is a huge ego where...

Tactical analysis: The impossible task of stopping Alexander-Arnold

Liverpool’s march towards a highly anticipated first Premier League title seemed to take a significant step on Sunday evening when they defeated old rivals Manchester United 2-0 at Anfield.  The win saw the Reds extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 16 points but it didn’t come as so usually seen...

The Secret Behind Liverpool’s System

People are going out of their way to not credit Liverpool for their ridiculous season to date. As things stand, VAR has been used as a reason the Reds find themselves 14 points clear with a game in hand. Rival fans have also claimed Jurgen Klopp has been lucky, with the table-toppers avoiding serious...

Liverpool 2-0 Manchester United: Who Was Man of the Match?

Liverpool move 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand after a 2-0 victory over Manchester United at Anfield. The match should have been wrapped up long before it was, leading to a nervous final 10 or 15 minutes. The Reds held on, though, and the 3...
