Roberto Firmino
Liverpool’s start to the season always appeared challenging. But how Liverpool would respond to this challenge would likely be the best indicator of how well the team will perform in the coming months. Playing Southampton away from home was the first potential banana skin of the season, even more so due to the 120 minutes, […]
Last season, Liverpool was arguably the best team in Europe. An incredible Champions League victory and a stupendous 97 point league haul; allied with 30 league wins, which was always a mark of special Premier League Champions (at least in the past!). Four games into the new season, and, so far so good. Liverpool have […]
Roberto Firmino has started the season like he means business. It isn’t something Liverpool fans are used to with the Brazilian usually looking off the pace when he returns to pre-season after a summer break. It’s by no means comparable to a Sunday League player trotting round the pitch after a heavy Saturday night but […]
Liverpool stayed perfect on the young season with a wild and topsy-turvy 2-1 win over the Saints. Liverpool were equal parts dominant and diabolical as they were lucky to go into the break ahead and then managed to make things difficult at the end despite completely controlling most of the 2nd half. After some brief […]
Liverpool’s Premier League game against Norwich was the first genuine test Jürgen Klopp’s men have faced since becoming European Champions. This was the first occasion in which points were at stake, the team would be able to set a marker and display their intent for the season. The scoreline indicates a strong performance, and the […]
Liverpool kicked off the new Premier League season with a comfortable 4-1 romp over Norwich City at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp’s men were put under pressure by a spirited Norwich side, but were also helped by a more-than-leaky Canaries defence, who shipped four goals even before half-time. Grant Hanley diverted a Divock Origi cross into his […]
Liverpool lost the seasonal curtain-raiser, the Community Shield, 5-4 on penalties to Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday after the game ended 1-1 in normal time. A powerful Joel Matip header cancelled out Raheem Sterling’s opener, in a game that — despite some fans’ indifference to the value of the Community Shield — neither side, […]
Liverpool concluded their pre-season programme with a 3-1 victory over Lyon in Geneva. Goals from Roberto Firmino, a Joachim Andersen own goal and Harry Wilson gave the Reds their first victory in four pre-season games after they had fallen behind to an early Memphis Depay penalty. Jurgen Klopp surprised many with the experimental nature of […]
Divock Origi is underrated. His goalscoring exploits in the Champions League last term mean fans will always look at him through rose-tinted glasses. A cult-hero for life, the Belgian doesn’t have to do anything in his Liverpool career now. However, there are some who believe he didn’t deserve his new contract and that he should’ve […]
As if Liverpool fans weren’t already licking their lips at the prospect of Rhian Brewster playing a part in Jürgen Klopp’s plans for the upcoming season already, they certainly are now after the teenager striker bagged a brace in the Reds’ first pre-season friendly against Tranmere this week. While many will be quick to point […]
