Did I mention the three clean sheets in three games? Yes okay, the Reds did that in 13/14 and went on to concede 50 goals that year, but this year we look like …
Are We Seeing the Rebirth of the Player Manager?
The illustrious career of Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool Football Club has seen his name emblazoned on the terraces at Anfield and sung throughout the Kop with endless fervour. His record of 172 goals for the Reds in 515 appearances led to Liverpool being crowned the champions of England on 8 occasions and of Europe on three.

Alisson (7): Didn't have anything to do for an hour in respect to goalkeeping so instead he made a case for best passer on the pitch. Commanded his area well late on and made a couple of smart saves.

Is Michael Edwards as Important to LFC as Jurgen Klopp?
When Michael Edwards first came to the front of most Liverpool’s fans' minds was the summer of 2017, when Edwards’ tenure as Sporting Director exploded into life with the signing of Mo Salah, the first of many extraordinary signings that Edwards has secured as Liverpool’s chief transfer man.

Why Virgil van Dijk Is Liverpool's Most Important Player
Such is the level of quality within Liverpool's newly-built squad, there are various players that could lay claim to being the Reds' most important individual heading into 2018/19.
Mo Salah is the obvious name that immediately springs to mind, considering the Egyptian's 44 goals last season catapulted him to superstar status.

The subtle magic of Roberto Firmino also makes him one of the …
It's Time for Liverpool to Get Back to Where They Belong

Why Jürgen Klopp is Owed an Apology
The 2017/18 season has been one of the most memorable campaigns in years. Even the 2013/14 league campaign was given a run for its money as the most entertaining season in this millennium as Liverpool romped their way not just across England, but also Europe, putting teams to the sword with a free-flowing, all-smiling, goal-scoring bunch of hardworking madmen. Beautiful.
The season had emotions galore: elation, devastation, ruefulness, and now nostalgia. But that nostalgia actually masks something that fans are …
Liverpool FC - No Longer Standing Still
As the dust settles on an emotional week for Liverpool supporters, it's almost hard to believe that it began with the heartbreak of seeing our Champions League Final hopes washed away in a flood of tears. Those of Mohamed Salah, cruelly robbed of his chance to shine on the biggest stage in club football, with his World Cup hopes hanging in the balance. Those of Loris Karius, as he begged for forgiveness amid the realisation of the significance of his …
Lascelles or Tarkowski: Who's the Better Fit?
The wheels of Liverpool’s busy summer have already begun spinning.
Even as they head to a Champions League final, rumours have been rife regarding those who will arrive in the summer: The Independent’s Miguel Delaney reported that Michael Edwards has been tasked with finding a centre-half partner for Liverpool’s perceived most important signing in recent memory, Virgil van Dijk.
