Liverpool’s remit was simple enough. Having already secured passage to the next round of the Europa League, the Reds needed to get out of Switzerland unscathed, without losing. Mission accomplished, as Liverpool drew with FC Sion 0-0. Far from the most entertaining or exciting match, the circumstances suggested a draw from the opening whistle. The […]
Liverpool’s away form faltered unspectacularly, as the Reds fell 2-0 to Newcastle United at St. James’ Park. The relegation-ready home side showed more fight than they have in weeks to end the Merseysiders’ run of wins and increasingly stronger performances. Liverpool’s luck also ran aground. An unfortunate Martin Skrtel own goal and poor offside decision […]
Daniel Sturridge returned as a starter at St. Mary’s and he brought an abundance of goals with him. After conceding in the first minute, Liverpool roared back to smash Southampton 6-1 in the Capital One Cup. It was another slow start for the Reds, falling behind to Sadio Mane’s back post header after just 41 […]
In the kind of match that supporters have become accustomed to Liverpool drawing or even losing, the Reds benefited from a bit of fortune to beat Swansea 1-0 at Anfield. They capitalised on referee Anthony Taylor’s deference to his assistant, who flagged Neil Taylor for a penalty area handball and James Milner converted from the spot […]
With a guaranteed place in the knockout stage of the Europa League awaiting Liverpool upon victory, Jurgen Klopp selected a strong side to face Bordeaux at Anfield, and was rewarded with a 2-1 victory. In a strange affair that saw referee Alon Yefet prove far more a factor than expected, the Reds accomplished a couple […]
Liverpool rocked Manchester City 1-4 at the Etihad in easily their best performance since Jurgen Klopp’s arrival.

Yet, Liverpool fed off the fortune, using it as a springboard for an even more aggressive attacking display. Pressing […]
Rumors began to swirl Saturday that Liverpool may have secured a deal in principle with Brazilian club Corinthians for striker Alexandre Pato. Multiple outlets seized upon a report by Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla for Tutto Mercato Web that included comments from Corinthians president Roberto de Andrade. According to Pedulla, Andrade said: “There is an agreement […]
Jurgen Klopp’s first defeat as Liverpool boss was going to happen, and this game had all the pre-match markings of trouble. The long Europa League road trip, injuries thinning the squad, and perhaps the greatest example of a bogey team, Crystal Palace beat Liverpool once again 2-1 at Anfield. The Reds recovered once more after […]
Jordon Ibe collected his first official goal for the club and helped Liverpool push past FC Rubin 1-0 in the Europa League group stage. Jurgen Klopp brought a strong side to Russia, in a statement of seriousness, and has moved the club one more step toward the knockout rounds. Liverpool jumped on the home side […]
Building on their conservative midweek victory, Liverpool earned Jurgen Klopp his first league win, beating Chelsea 1-3 at Stamford Bridge. Despite conceding early, the Reds rebounded with an equaliser just before half-time and grew in the second half to compound Chelsea’s Blues. In what could be a defining moment for both sides, the Reds surged […]
Finally, Liverpool earned their first victory under their new manager. Jurgen Klopp made major changes to the side that drew with Southampton at the weekend, and the team he put out managed to beat Bournemouth in the Capital One Cup fourth round. It was a good, not great, performance by the Reds against a club […]
Liverpool remain locked in a vicious loop of deja vu. Another match, another draw, this time a 1-1 draw against Southampton at Anfield. Five straight draws matches a ‘record’ set by Bob Paisley’s 1975 squad, but this current crop of players have also drawn eight of the last nine. The attack continues to struggle for […]
