Liverpool missed another opportunity to close the gap on a top four place, failing to take their chances and capitalise on a quality performance against rivals Manchester United. Instead, David de Gea saved the Red Devils, allowing them to get a smash and grab a 1-0 victory at Anfield. Despite defending well and dominating the […]
No stranger to big game performances, Liverpool were up for their match against league-leading Arsenal. In an open and startling match, the Reds drew with the Gunners 3-3 at Anfield. Liverpool started strong and made it count, jumping to the lead after 10 minutes, when Roberto Firmino scored his first goal at home. The lead […]
Liverpool continued to make things just that bit harder for themselves in the third round of the FA Cup. An exceptionally inexperienced visiting side took to the treacherous pitch at St. James Park and, fortunately, scraped a 2-2 draw with League Two hosts Exeter City. Even under the circumstances, Jurgen Klopp took a significant gamble […]
Liverpool managed to survive Stoke City for the first semi-final League Cup tie. The Reds left the Britannia Stadium with the thinnest of margins, having edged the Potters 1-0. Unlike the previous 1-0 victories from the last few weeks that failed to inspire much confidence, this win was on the back of a solid performance. […]
The bill for the previous two grinding victories came due in London. While maybe not quite as abject as the display at Watford, Liverpool looked nearly as drab against West Ham in a 2-0 loss at Boleyn Ground. Almost from the whistle, Liverpool seemed sluggish, lacking movement and touch. Still, not for the first time […]
Liverpool capitulated again away from home, conceding early and getting bullied around the park by the home side. Predictable as it was painful, West Ham defended well and broke forward with pace and power, crossing balls in and climbing to get a head on them for the finish. Devoid of ideas and looking jaded amidst […]
As the calendar year closes it is easy to look back on Liverpool with a “Ground Hog Day” disposition. At this time last year, the Reds were in almost identical form. They sat eighth in the table, with 28 points, and rode two wins into the new year. Four points separated them from the top […]
The Liverpool Echo are reporting that neither Daniel Sturridge nor Jordan Henderson will make the trip to London for tomorrow’s clash with West Ham at Upton Park. Jurgen Klopp recently hinted that Sturridge might be ready for the weekend after a five – layoff with a hamstring injury. However, patience remains the keyword with the […]
In another ugly match, Liverpool found themselves digging deeper and fighting their way to a needed result. The Reds added to Sunderland’s misery in the final fixture of the year, beating the Black Cats at the Stadium of Light 1-0. This match could easily have been easier with a much wider margin of victory, but […]
Liverpool defeated league leaders Leicester City 1-0 at Anfield in a Boxing Day battle that revealed a much needed grittier side of the Reds. Most impressively the Merseysiders rallied from last weekend’s low-point loss to Watford, full of industry, commitment, and fevered pace. It was a complete about-face performance that ended the Foxes’ lengthy unbeaten […]
Once again Liverpool missed an opportunity to make up ground on those teams above them in the table. Instead of capitalising on the poor form of the sides around them, they suffered a 3-0 defeat at Vicarage Road to an in-form Watford, in what has to be the lowest point since Jurgen Klopp’s arrival. The Reds […]
Divock Origi’s late equaliser came from a good advantage call and a slight deflection to save Liverpool from an embarrassing home loss. Instead, the Reds drew 2-2 against West Bromwich Albion at Anfield in up and down affair. West Brom predictably played physical spoilers, unapologetically defending deep, and looking to capitalise on set pieces, which […]
