Liverpool started the match by having the run of play and were deservedly in the lead, but their sloppiness soon led to madness as two absurd mistakes by world class players ruined the match and ended Liverpool’s bid to eclipse City’s points record. Alisson – 4 His costly howler gifted Arsenal the lead that they […]
Very few players in world football have positions named after them. Only a handful do and they’re usually individuals who transformed that role. Andrea Pirlo wasn’t the first playmaker to be deployed in the defensive midfield role but he certainly enjoyed the most success there and that quarterback position was soon christened the Pirlo role. […]
As expected for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp elected to revert to the 4-3-3 system with which he has enjoyed a great deal of success with against Liverpool’s top six rivals and Champions League competitors too. It made sense: Arsenal have a renewed impetus to play out from the back and did not have a particularly quick […]
Philosophical debates will be had around the dinner tables of Merseyside as Liverpool fans reflect on Saturday’s draw with Arsenal, struggling to decide if it’s one point gained or two points dropped. Glass half full, or half empty? After a 1-1 draw that include moments of genius combined with moments of madness, incompetency from officials […]
Roberto Firmino is an unbelievable footballer. The Brazilian is one of the most intelligent players to have represented Liverpool in years, possessing a footballing brain many can only dream of. His thought process is always a split-second quicker than most of the mere mortals around him. He sees passes before they can be made, finds […]
There has been a lot written about Liverpool’s transfer window up until this point, but what is interesting is the fact that almost all of Liverpool’s major outgoings are reasonably predictable. Mamadou Sakho, Lazar Markovic, Alberto Moreno and possibly Lucas. One name that has almost fallen away from discussion in terms of departure is arguably […]
With reports emerging that Klopp is happy with our frontline heading into next season it’s time we took a closer look at whether the options of Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi, Domonic Solanke and to a lesser extent Danny Ings are good enough and reliable back ups to Liverpool’s new number 9 Roberto Firmino. Personally I’m […]
Ah, the summer transfer season. It’s that time of the year when football fans dream about just who could be lining up in their clubs colours next season. Liverpool secured a top-four finish with a convincing 3-0 win against Middlesbrough on the last day of the 2016/17 Premier League season. Having brought Champions League football back […]
Alexandre Lacazette, who appeared bound for Atletico Madrid, before a transfer ban scuppered those plans, very recently claimed that the Premier League is a: ‘Great league, with interesting teams’. Perhaps the most interesting of all teams right now is Liverpool FC, a club 0dds-on to secure the services of £50-60 million rated Virgil Van Dijk, […]
Lucky number Slevin is a good film. If you haven’t already seen it then you should put aside two hours of your life and give it a watch. There will be no spoilers in this piece but the plot is built around a con named ‘The Kansas City Shuffle’. It’s hard to really put into […]
