Liverpool Football Club Latest News And Updates

By Frances Baker


The football exploits of the Reds can never be underestimated. The team has played spectacularly, attracted the best players, managers and won titles. In fact, in Liverpool football club latest news, the talk is on title contention. With a now settled manager, players hungry for victory and a passionate fan base, the title is theirs to lose.

The two nil win over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday cemented the determination by the Reds to take the title. Two goals from Coutinho and S Mane ensured that they bagged three points and thus moved to second after Arsenal. Though Man City have a game at hand, the odds are in favor of the Anfield based team. Improved performance against top teams is also a morale booster.

Steven Gerrard remains a legend at Liverpool and is always welcome to play any role for the team or fraternity. Rumors have it that he is considering exit from LA Galaxy in the upcoming transfer window. Considering this improved form and the confidence he commands among players and fans, it would not be surprising if he finds his way back into the team. In fact, Klopp has no problem working with him as an assistant coach and player.

How does the performance of the Reds compare to other seasons or teams in the league? The game on Saturday acts as a weighing scale. A team that has not lost at Anfield for twelve consecutive games maintained their unbeaten run. They now have five wins and five draws, including the last game against Manchester United. Roberto Firmino is poised to become the most valuable player having a hand in twelve goal where he scored seven and assisted in five.

The exploits of Daniel Sturridge in the past seasons are being recalled. He is said to be experience a draught spell having scored no goal this season. According to the manager, this is not a reason to worry. His form is expected to improve with the drought being a challenge. Frustration is however showing especially during the game with Manchester United where he had to be substituted on the hour mark. He had no shot on target during the game.

The fans at Anfield are still supporting their club as much as they did before. According to the coach, the atmosphere especially when they were playing West Bromwich was right for such a decisive game. In fact, according to the coach, it would have resulted in a shame had West Bromwich won or drawn at Anfield.

The Reds defense has been criticized for being too frail. In fact, it has been said to perform too far below par to compete for the title. The striking force is also under fire after failing to score and produce a flowing game that can win the hearts of fans. However, this is far much a better performance than this time last season when the manager was settling at the club.

What is the word out there about the Reds? According to West Brom manager Tony Pulis, Liverpool is in a position to challenge for the title. The manager specifically pointed at the strikers as being capable of delivering the trophy to Anfield. They can outplay any defense in the premier league.
