The simple way you can explain this is it’s “the magic of the FA Cup.” After being forced to play a lineup of youngsters, Jose Enrique and Christian Benteke, Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp went to League Two side Exeter City feeling a bit vulnerable. After falling behind and quickly equalizing, Exeter City and Lee […]

One of the biggest stories of 2015 was Chelsea’s woes, both on and off the pitch. After the sacking of Jose Mourinho, results are starting to turn around. They have gone from losing to Bournemouth to beating Crystal Palace by three goals. A pretty remarkable turn around. Does this mean the Chelsea of old are […]

Now that the calendar has flipped over to January, it’s time to start thinking about the bottom of the EPL table. Unlike the NFL or NBA, which rewards its worst teams with high draft picks, the EPL sends its three worst teams through the trap door and out of the league all together — allowing […]

Jürgen Klopp has a goal scoring problem. To be honest, it was a problem Brendan Rodgers also had, but for Klopp it’s a little different.The biggest issue might be Daniel Sturridge and his inability to stay healthy, because, beyond Sturridge, Klopp doesn’t have the kind of striker he needs.
