From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Jurgen Klopp has now managed Liverpool in eight Premier League games this season, exactly the same amount as his predecessor Brendan Rodgers did with the club this term.
So, has the German really improved the Reds?
Other than a slightly improved scoring record, and one less goal conceded, their records are almost identical (see the Infographic below).
The passing accuracy average of Liverpool under Rodgers was 81 per cent, one per cent better than what Klopp's Reds are averaging.
The Northern Irishman Rodgers was sacked as Reds manager back in October after three-and-a-half years in charge at Anfield.
"Although this has been a difficult decision, we believe it provides us with the best opportunity for success on the pitch," read a club statement announcing his departure.
Liverpool are currently ninth in the Premier League, one place higher than they were when Rodgers was sacked.
