After a series of glorious opportunities went begging, it was beginning to seem that it would simply not be Liverpool's day at Stamford Bridge, only for Daniel Sturridge to single-handedly stave off the agony of an impending defeat and spark celebrations befitting of a victory.
From Eden Hazard's opener onwards, Liverpool were, without doubt, the...
Liverpool, courtesy of a wonder strike from Sturridge late on, rescued a point at the Bridge, a point they deserved considering the display put in. Going by the performance of Chelsea, not many teams would get points at Chelsea, so this could be a big point as the season progresses.
The key observations from this...

Chelsea, along with Manchester City, have been the closest league competitors to Liverpool, so far this season. The Blues have made the best start they could have imagined under new boss, Maurizio Sarri....
Personally, I love a hypothetical within the realms of football. They allow one to examine the possibilities and justify why their selection would be viable. Of course, these hypotheticals can border on the edges of insanity, almost irrelevance i.e. Which footballer would be able to the most kick-ups with a live chicken? (probably Leo...
Liverpool have made their best ever start to a Premier League season and, in truth, they have done so at about 50% of their overall capacity.
The Reds cruised into a 3-0 first-half lead against the Saints and were able to comfortably see it out after the break. All a likely bored Alisson Becker really...
Six wins out of six to start the Premier League season. Not bad, eh? Southampton came to Anfield, and Southampton were routinely dispatched.
An own goal to start proceedings, a returning centre-back with a fabulous header off a corner from that trusted Scouse right-foot, and then the King of Egypt scoring from a yard out...

We are all so sick of hearing how this Liverpool team is not playing great but still managing to get the results they need. A great sign, of course. But how...
Patience isn’t a word that gets heeded much in the modern era of football.
Instant gratification has been normalised and expected, and signings are often cast aside as “flops” in as short a space as six months. And that’s fine because some signings don’t work. But, if one casts their mind back to the final...
Sometimes a relationship blows up and both parties end up locked in a contest to show the other what they could have had. The last time Liverpool faced Spurs in London the Reds were thoroughly and unmercifully dumped. Since that painful day, the main source of the drama, Dejan Lovren has been buried, resurrected...
