This was always going to be a difficult game, especially considering Burnley’s solid away form this season. It ended up as a stalemate, with Liverpool dropping two points. The key takeaways – Team News Klopp was expected to ring in the changes for the game vs Burnley, and he confirmed the same during his pre-match […]
It was very much a tale of attack vs defence on Saturday afternoon as Liverpool were left frustrated by a resolute Burnley defence. Evident right from the minute the two team-sheets came out, Burnley were well set up to close off the space in midfield and utilise their strengths from set-pieces on another sub-par day […]
Competition: Premier League Date: 16/9/17 Venue: Anfield September has been a sobering month for Liverpool fans. Gone are the exuberant days of August and with them, our care-free attitude to just enjoying our Redmen attacking, scoring, and attacking again. September has opened our eyes to those defensive concerns which we knew were always there. In […]
A promising, but so too a very much frustrating match, Liverpool’s long-awaited return to the Champions League group stage was disappointing, as from doing the hard work – having to come from a goal down – to then dominating the game, the team once again threw away what should have been three points, instead taking […]
The Details Competition – Premier League Venue – Anfield Referee – Roger East Date & Time – September 16th, 2017 @ 15:00 BST Form Do I really need to mention last weekend’s game at the Etihad? We all know the team collapsed and lacked leadership after going a man down. The lack of game-management from […]
Liverpool succumbed a 2-1 lead in the second-half to throw two points away against Sevilla in their first game of the Champions League group stages. The Reds started the game in the worst possible fashion, with Dejan Lovren delivering another woeful defensive error that allowed Ben Yedder to slot into the net from close range. […]
A disappointing one, that. Liverpool were better, much better, than Sevilla for large parts. The Reds’ attack gave the Spaniard’s defence hell, and the Reds know they should have walked off the pitch with all three points, and preferably eleven men. So, a 2-2 draw will irk most – myself included. But, Liverpool showed enough […]
Competition: Champions League Group Stage Date: 13th September 2017 Venue: Anfield The Champions League returned to Anfield tonight for the first time since 2014. We’ve won it five times, you know? Yes, Liverpool have won Europe’s premier club competition five times in their illustrious history. They didn’t do themselves proud in their last showing three […]
When Sadio Mane was given his marching orders at The Etihad on 37 minutes on Saturday, I, along with, I assume, many others, instantly felt a pang of inevitable defeat. Gary Neville agreed – the spectacle was over – the game was over – call me defeatist, but for me, I couldn’t see any way back. Upon receiving […]
Mention the name Dejan Lovren to most Liverpool supporters and you’ll be greeted with various responses many of which will be particularly negative. “He can’t defend.” “He’s not good enough for Liverpool.” “Klavan’s better than him.” We all know that Joel Matip is our best centre-back by a considerable margin, the man just oozes class […]
