"I don't think we've changed anything about how we defend from last season. I think it's just down to time - we've been working with the boss for longer now and I think we now understand what he wants from us better. A year ago, we'd only been with the manager for six months and it takes time to change things at any club. We were used to playing one way before Benitez arrived and now, 18 months on, we're used to his style, his tactics and the way he wants us to play.
The zonal defending system is a good example of how things take time to perfect. I don't think many of the players had played it before because throughout most of our careers we've always gone man-to-man in the box but as soon as Rafa drilled it in to us what to do, I don't think we had many problems adjusting to it. The defence isn't perfect yet but as long as we keep working hard in training and during matches, we should improve further still."
The 2026 World Cup is well under way across North America, and Liverpool have a strong contingent representing their nations.
Welcome to Anfield, a historic district in the northwest of England, located in Merseyside, Liverpool.
If you've ever stood on the corner of Walton Breck Road as the team bus pulls in, you'll know that there’s something about Anfield that defies simple logic. People talk about the "aura" or the "12th man" as if it’s some mystical force field that physically pushes the ball into the net at the Kop end. For years, rival fans laughed it off as mere sentimentality, but if you look at the cold, hard numbers, there is a very real statistical anomaly at play.
Liverpool's summer schedule for 2026/27 is taking shape, and it carries the kind of fixtures that quicken the pulse of any supporter who pores over the club's results and history. Four pre-season friendlies are now lined up between 25 July and 9 August — Sunderland, Wrexham, a meeting with Leeds United at Soldier Field in Chicago, and a closing night against AS Monaco at Anfield. For a fanbase that knows its FA Cup nights, its European epics and its roll-call of captains and managers by heart, the off-season quiet is lifting, and the anticipation that has defined so many Anfield summers is stirring once more.
