Liverpool need a quick and effective start to the second half of the season, of that there’s no doubt. The margin for error is flirting with the non-existent, as the race for the top four looks like being as competitive as ever. To ensure the ‘minimum expectation’ as Jurgen Klopp defined it is that the […]
Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Ajax on Wednesday night clinched their spot in the knockout round of the UCL. This puts Liverpool in a familiar position: one game left to play, with nothing on the line. In the extremely rare event that Liverpool beat Napoli by 4, Liverpool would finish first in Group A. However, in […]
The final few embers of the Brendan Rodgers regime still remain, with Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Joe Gomez and Divock Origi now rotation pieces of varying quality, within Jürgen Klopp’s squad. As part of any management era, there is always incoming failures that have a shelf life. Under the Brendan stewardship, the hits were few, […]
Silly season is officially underway. The Euros and Copa America are done, the beginning of the new Premier League season is still a month or so away, so it’s time to obsess over transfers. As per usual, Liverpool have been linked with a host of players, whether it be Florian Neuhaus, Saul Goodman – I […]
At 22 years old, and 6 feet 4 inches tall, the towering French centre back comprises much of what Jurgen Klopp looks for in a central defender. His potential signing could offer some much needed assurance next season. If reports are to be believed. Since Jurgen Koop took over at Liverpool, he has signed two […]
Tuesday night’s undesirable scoreline at Stamford Bridge raised the prospect of goal difference proving decisive, yet that seemed like a problem for Sunday. For this fixture – a midweek trip to Burnley, whose reputation as feather-ruffling traditionalists precedes them and who were sure to be buoyed by the return of spectators – the assignment was […]
Prior to this season, Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams had the same amount of top-flight football experience as you and I: zero. The highest rung of the football ladder that Phillips — who was close to accepting a footballing college scholarship in the United States before joining the Liverpool academy — found himself on was […]
Unless you’re an ex Liverpool player, the likelihood is that you and I have played the same number of minutes for the Reds as Ben Davies: zero. The centre half arrived at the injury-depleted defending champions in January from Championship side Preston North End and was expected to plug the considerable gap left in Liverpool’s […]
Liverpool, allowing for exaggeration, fielded their 8000th centre-half combination of the season against Red Bull Leipzig in their 2-0 Champions League last 16 victory over the German’s last Wednesday night. Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak saddled up together for only the second time and the young duo was largely superb in keeping a clean sheet […]
There was much to admire about Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Sheffield United, as the Reds made a welcome return to winning ways. Adrian, Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak largely did well against a physical Blades attack, while Trent Alexander-Arnold looked somewhere close to his best again. Gini Wijnaldum and Thiago purred in midfield, the front-three […]
