Liverpool’s goalless draw with Chelsea did bring them an admittedly small step closer to the top four spots with the gap now nine points between the Reds in eighth and Newcastle in fourth.That being said, there were some worrying signs that Jurgen Klopp will be keen to address on the training ground if his side […]

Jurgen Klopp noted, with some amusement, that he probably wouldn’t have got on particularly well on the touchline had the pair’s teams met competitively on the pitch.The German had been asked to reflect on the Scot’s kind words before the 0-0 draw with Chelsea – the 55-year-old’s 1,000th game as a manager – and admitted that […]

Liverpool fans could be entirely forgiven for willing the second-half toward an early end as it became increasingly clear that none of the two teams on the pitch were prepared to provide an injection of what some may call ‘umph!’ into a game in desperate need of goals.A point for each and some smiles from […]

Liverpool began proceedings in the second-half with far more aggression and intent and actually came close to finding an effort via unlikely scorer Ibrahima Konate.The Frenchman raced into the opposing half in a manner some might suggest was  Joel Matip-esque before attempting to catch Kepa Arrizabalaga off his line with a speculative effort.The shot went […]

Alisson Becker has hardly been helped by a backline that looked incredibly nervous and disjointed, sans Virgil van Dijk’s leadership and organisational skills.Jurgen Klopp’s men had the Brazilian No.1 to thank for keeping the scoreline level with one notable moment coming in the form of a close-range stop to keep out Benoit Badiashile’s header.There’s no […]

Harvey Elliott was strangely started on the left flank of the front-three as Jurgen Klopp made a few tweaks up top.That didn’t stop the youngster from impressing when given the opportunity too as footage from @caulkerloaner showed the teenager escaping from a Hakim Ziyech challenge with a well-timed turn.The Reds were far from convincing in […]

Liverpool came awfully close to another dreadful start in the English top-flight after Kai Havertz poked home from close-range whilst the Reds’ backline was caught napping.Jurgen Klopp’s men were fortunate to avoid an early scare as VAR ruled the visitors’ opening effort to have been offside, though one writer, @_lfcleanne, spotted Trent Alexander-Arnold expressing his […]

Steven Gerrard may have had two managerial moves since departing Liverpool’s youth setup but home clearly remains where the heart is for the legendary former midfielder.Speaking to BT Sport ahead of the Reds’ encounter with Chelsea, in comments relayed on Twitter by the Echo’s Paul Gorst, he noted his willingness to fight for his old […]

Liverpool’s poor form has inevitably attracted a host of uncomfortable questions for Jurgen Klopp regarding both the enthusiasm of his squad to climb the mountain again in future and that of the manager for the rebuild that clearly must take place in the summer.Evidently, there are myriad factors preventing the club from investing in the […]

Fielding questions over the level of loyalty shown to certain underperforming stars, Jurgen Klopp boldly stated to reporters that he’s far from being too loyal.If Liverpool fans were looking for proof of that statement, they need look no further than the midfield the German selected for the Reds’ hosting of Chelsea at Anfield as both […]

Liverpool’s principal owner, John W Henry, attracted the ire of Red Sox fans during an open forum for the Red Sox Winter Weekend event.The American inspired a host of unrelenting boos as he admitted it was ‘expensive to have the best baseball players’.It’s increasingly becoming clear that the frustrations of fans in Boston seem to […]

Arnaut Danjuma was, at one stage, heavily linked with a move to Liverpool having flourished in the 2021/22 season (interest the player admitted he was aware of in an interview with Sky Sports).Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed in a tweet that the Reds’ city rivals Everton are closing in on the 25-year-old with a loan […]

Jurgen Klopp has often prided himself on a system of meritocracy at Liverpool; one that is likely to see a number of changes made for the 1-0 win over Wolves stick for Chelsea’s upcoming visit to Anfield this afternoon.The Reds flourished in the absence of historically reliable midfield operators in Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, as […]

Cody Gakpo believes he is quickly settling down at Liverpool and is looking forward to showing what he’s made of during the second half of the Reds’ campaign.The Netherlands international tasted success for the first time at his new club earlier this week after Jurgen Klopp’s side battled their way to a 1-0 victory at […]
