Robertson
I recently watched the remake of the Magnificent Seven, a modern take of the original classic. The film revolves around impossibly unrealistic scenarios, a suicide squad of unlikely heroes, with a battle to overcome the odds and succeed. The plot of the film is ridiculous, how the movie then plays out absurd, but the idea […]
When Andy Robertson was signed from newly relegated Hull City, there was a collective air of uncertainty. The left back spot had become (like so many other positions when Klopp arrived) a problem one. With Albert Moreno being swapped in and out with James Milner prior to Robbo’s signing, it was certainly an area that […]
On the surface, the signing of Kostas Tsimikas really hasn’t worked out for Liverpool. Signed from Olympiacos in the summer of 2020, the Greek left-back — whose acquisition was aimed at giving Andy Robertson the opportunity to rest — only made seven appearances in all competitions in his first season on Merseyside. Meanwhile, Robertson played […]
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 […]
As this bizarre season crosses its midpoint, Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool appears in trouble. The side is yet to score in the league this month and have surrendered first spot in the league to Manchester United, who are almost certainly set to be usurped by Manchester City. As readers of this series will no doubt already […]
This was an occasion for Liverpool to banish their rut. Instead, they’ve sunk further into it. The draw with arch-rivals United keeps the Reds three points off the pace, but above all it cements Manchester City’s newly-established status as title favourites. Belief among supporters and among the players is clearly low. Liverpool aren’t functioning as […]
For all the talk of the need for Liverpool to reinforce their defence with new signings, their most consistent players ply their trade in the area. Andy Robertson and Fabinho — previously a defensive midfielder who is learning to play in the heart of defence on the fly — have been the Reds standout performers […]
Gambling, by its very nature, doesn’t always come off. There can be no debate that Liverpool — after the sale of Dejan Lovren to Zenit St Petersburg — gambled when they didn’t sign a centre half last summer. Instead, the Reds pushed the boat out to sign Thiago Alcantara from FC Bayern and planned on […]
When it rains, it pours. Or in Liverpool’s case, when it rains, a monsoon arrives. The Reds find themselves in one of the most bleak, unfortunate injury situations in their recent history, following an awful period in the fitness department. When Virgil van Dijk was ruled out for the season with cruciate ligament damage it […]
In years and decades to come, Liverpool supporters will look back at this phenomenal team and pick out the poster boys from it, lavishing them with love and praise. Whereas some great teams only have two or three iconic figures to bore future generations to death about, there are endless contenders in this Liverpool side. […]
