How Szoboszlai's improvement has driven Liverpool towards title

1 month ago | sports.yahoo.com | Luke Reddy

Dominik Szobozslai won possession back eight times for Liverpool in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Newcastle - a high for his team - as well as winning eight of his 10 duels. His coverage of the Anfield turf was comprehensive - tracking 10.9km, which was the furthest clocked by any player on the night. His endeavour in recent weeks has been obvious.
Liverpool news: Can Andy Robertson find best form in title push?

2 months ago | bbc.com | Luke Reddy

There was a point in the second half of Liverpool's win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday when Andy Robertson turned to a nerve-filled Kop and called for calm. The full-back - like many - could feel the anxiety raining down from all four sides of Anfield in a second half during which Arne Slot's men looked a shadow of what has become expected. A shadow of themselves technically maybe, but not so much physically. In the first half, Liverpool covered 52.6km and in the second half 53.1km.
Was this Mane all over again?

Jan 20, 2025 | sports.yahoo.com | Luke Reddy

Liverpool fans often point to the sight of an overjoyed Sadio Mane running towards a raucous away end at Aston Villa in November of 2019 as the moment they truly ended their long title wait. The Reds needed months to confirm the honour but for many, the race was won when that glancing header beat Villa at the death. On such moments, momentum becomes an avalanche and titles are clinched.
'It feels like every emotion worth living has been lived'

May 17, 2024 | sports.yahoo.com | Luke Reddy

Some people on social media are saying they will be crying come Sunday evening. Not tears of joy at a trophy win nor of frustration at a final-day nightmare, but tears because of the closing of a chapter. When Liverpool host Wolves on the Premier League's final day, Anfield's farewell to manager Jurgen Klopp looks set to be, to borrow a term the Merseyside youth use, 'heavy'. Many fans did not want this day to come - like the return to work after 14 days of sea and sunshine.
Liverpool news: What are Reds' shooting stats?

Apr 9, 2024 | bbc.com | Luke Reddy

Much has been written and said in recent days regarding Liverpool's challenges in front of goal during Sunday's 2-2 draw at Manchester United. The Reds created chances at will, missed the target repeatedly and - not for the first time - turned what looked like being a routine afternoon into one of high drama. But is there really an issue? We have taken a look at some top-line stats to find out. If we look at shooting accuracy, excluding shots blocked, Liverpool rank 14th in the Premier League.
'End product will be everything'

Apr 2, 2024 | sports.yahoo.com | Luke Reddy

Luis Diaz, just like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ray Clemence, Roger Hunt and more, has his image painted into walls just a few metres from the stadium where he hopes he will get his hands on the Premier League title in a few weeks' time. The Colombian, who endured stresses of an unimaginable kind when his father was kidnapped during the season, has in recent weeks rediscovered his form and tenacious style, finding the net against Chelsea, Burnley, Luton Town and, latterly, Brighton.
Virgil van Dijk: 'They thought I was finished' - Liverpool captain

Feb 26, 2024 | bbc.com | Luke Reddy

Dua Lipa's hit 'One Kiss' - a tune adopted by Liverpool fans in recent years -plays in the background as Virgil van Dijk stares down a camera in the Reds' changing room and simply says: "They thought I was finished". The defender - and very much the captain in recent weeks - shakes his head as he makes the remark. Van Dijk, it has been said, was hurt by comments last season about not just his, but the team's displays.
Point-blank brilliance

Feb 25, 2024 | sports.yahoo.com | Luke Reddy

Point-blank saves in cup finals - they are the difference between success and failure, glory and disaster, a trophy and a heart full of regret. Jerzy Dudek infamously saved from Andriy Shevchenko deep in Liverpool's 3-3 draw with AC Milan in 2005. The star striker couldn't miss with Dudek already on the floor but as the keeper raised himself, Shevchenko slammed against his body and the ball looped high into the Istanbul night. Dudek had no time to react, he did, the rest is history.
Liverpool: 'Van Dijk set a tone' and left heads 'shaking'

Feb 22, 2024 | bbc.com | Luke Reddy

As the masses exited Anfield on Wednesday night, a tweet from Neil Atkinson - host of the popular fan outlet The Anfield Wrap - read: "Important not to get carried away but that is the greatest second half in our history."Elsewhere on social media, Liverpool fan Dan wrote: "Every time we play I forget that Endo exists and then I check his full-time stats and he's got 18 successful tackles, 104% pass accuracy and he's put the recycling bins out."Tongues were in cheeks. Heads were shaking.
