Under-appreciated Trent Becoming A Key Player For Klopp
A lot has been made of the fact that Joe Gomez has been out injured for Liverpool this season – and the impact that that has on Liverpool’s defence. But comparatively, not as much has been made of the impact of losing Trent Alexander-Arnold for a period of time – with Trent missing six of Liverpool’s last eleven games through two injuries and making his return as a sub against Bournemouth.
So how much impact does Trent have on the …
A brief glimpse of Naby Keita's brilliance
I despised football when the final whistle blew at West Ham.
More points dropped in the Premier League title race, but more worryingly a limp performance by Liverpool, who looked anything but a team trying to go five points clear at the top.
In any normal season, a draw at West Ham in February would be no great disaster, but with Man City hunting the Reds down in their own relentless fashion, it felt like a defeat on the penultimate …
Andy Robertson claims nerves are not to blame as Reds draw with West Ham
Liverpool's Andy Robertson insists that The Reds' recent dip in form is not down to nerves after Jurgen Klopp's men stumbled to a 1-1 draw with West Ham at London Stadium on Monday night.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, the Scottish international defender called for Liverpool to focus on their own game.
"We need to get back on track by winning games and playing better football. We can't worry about them [City and Spurs]... we're having a wee …
West Ham 1-1 Liverpool: What Went Wrong?
Liverpool battled out another frustrating stalemate, recording a second successive 1-1 draw, this time against West Ham. Considered by some an opportunity scorned, enabling Manchester City a route back into the Premier League title race (although they were never really out of it were they) and others another point in a patch where the team are clearly struggling, there remains mixed emotions across the park about how the table is shaping up in the early stages of February.
Like the …

11 Day Break At The Right Time For Bruised Reds
Liverpool survived an incredible game of football to see off Crystal Palace 4-3 at Anfield. But it was a game that left the already struggling Reds bloodied, bruised and increasingly threadbare, with Rafa Camacho finishing the game at right-back, Bobby Firmino and Adam Lallana in central midfield, and Joël Matip played his first full ninety minutes since breaking his collarbone back in early December against Napoli.
It’s fair to say then, that the last thing Liverpool need would be another …
Liverpool's Season Starts Here
The day that you arrive at a holiday destination can often have a strange feel to it.
You’re still a bit jaded after a long flight, drive or however you’ve made your way there, and you don’t feel completely in holiday mode until you wake up the following morning.
Call it a strange comparison - it is - but Liverpool’s season feels a bit like that. It has all been a bit stressful and tense to date, with almost no …
Fabulous but Fab-less: Liverpool's Patience with Fabinho
Patience is a virtue. Sometimes, especially as football fans, we can struggle to see the bigger picture, the longer term, and we can get focused on the here and now. And we can start to question certain decisions. But we need to remember that a little patience never hurt anyone.
Take Fabinho, for example. Liverpool’s first summer signing announced just two days after the Champions League final. There was an expectation amongst Liverpool fans that he would come into the …
Klopp's Midfield Dilemma Ahead of Crystal Palace Clash
At long last, there is genuine depth in Liverpool's midfield.
The Reds are no longer praying for certain players to stay fit and there are now six or seven reliable, experienced figures who can be effective whenever required.
This was perfectly illustrated during Sunday's 4-0 victory over West Ham, as Jurgen Klopp's men got their season off to a perfect start without even hitting top gear.
As the starting lineups were announced and we all huddled around our devices like …
Great Expectations - The Media Game has Changed for Liverpool FC
Liverpool’s 4-0 demolition of West Ham on the opening day of the season was more than just a win in many respects. To many, it will be seen as a statement of intent, of Liverpool throwing down the gauntlet to Manchester City that they are a force to be reckoned with. The Reds finished the opening weekend top of the table on goal difference ahead of Chelsea and then Man City themselves, who answered Liverpool’s result with a thoroughly deserved …
