Where Are They Now?: Adam Morgan
It’s fair to say that, in his first few weeks as Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers made full use of the depth of his squad by giving every player a chance in the 2012/13 season’s early competitive fixtures.

Mane Back to His Best on Perfect Night for Liverpool
When the draw for the last 16 of the Champions League was made nine weeks ago and Liverpool were paired with Porto, both teams would probably have been content with their fate.

Some players enjoy a flying start at a new club before the initial bounce flattens out and they ultimately fail to make a lasting impression.

Premier League week 27 preview: Can Liverpool’s former Saints sin against Southampton on Sunday?

Premier League week 26 round-up: Unadventurous Reds pay a heavy penalty
Drawing at home to a direct rival for Champions League qualification and having been under siege for most of the second half is no disgrace, but the manner in which an uncharacteristically cautious Liverpool had two points snatched from their grasp by Tottenham left the Anfield faithful crushed. It all started so perfectly when Mohamed […]

Where Are They Now?: Markus Babbel
One of the frequent accusations thrown at the current Liverpool defence is that they lack courage and leadership, often being outmuscled all too wilfully by hungrier opponents. Bravery certainly wasn’t an attribute that was lacking in former Reds defender Markus Babbel, a player who had to overcome concerns that far outweighed the set piece deficiencies […]

Premier League week 26 preview: It’s Salah v Kane in the battle of the hotshots
In a week when three of the top six suffered defeat, Liverpool and Tottenham took full advantage to gain ground in the race for Champions League football.

Premier League Week 25 Round-Up: Liverpool Take Full Advantage of Rivals’ Slip-Ups
In the end, it was uncharacteristically straightforward for Liverpool at the John Smith’s Stadium on Tuesday night. Just as at Anfield earlier in the season, the Reds were comfortable 3-0 winners over Huddersfield, who barely laid a glove on the visitors all night. A tame affair came to life shortly before the half-hour with a […]
