Thankyou Arsenal
In a period where life is still somewhat irregular, a little bit scary and often times frustrating, there is still the odd football moment that brings pure joy.
Last weekend Liverpool entertained a visiting Arsenal side, and their young manager, Mikel Arteta. For Liverpool’s fanbase, the pre game was relaxed, and confidence was high. The Reds' injury list was manageable, and the match was very much something to look forward to, after the international break. Arsenal are often a team …
Liverpool 2 - 0 FC Porto - The Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 7.0
A peaceful night's work for the giant Brazilian. Even with the odd moment (where things looked precarious), he offers limitless assurance.
Neco Williams - 6.5
Some composure is required, as steady and dependable is what is needed to be Trent's deputy. Got caught out a few times, and against better opposition it could have been costly. As Liverpool started to dominate, he became more prominent.
Kostas Tsimikas - 6.0
You could tell Virgil wasn’t next to …
Sadio Mane, his form and his contract situation
Only Mohamed Salah has more goals than Sadio Mane in the Premier League this season.
A lot of people will - perhaps rightly - focus on Salah being the top scorer. But the fact Mane is amongst the goals this season should not be overlooked. For most wide forwards, a haul of 11 Premier League goals is decent. In fact, most would be more than happy with that sort of return.
But Mane had 40 goals across the previous two …
Should Kostas Tsimikas be a starter for Liverpool?
Kostas Tsimikas is going to give Jurgen Klopp a selection headache.
The Greece international impressed yet again against Arsenal as he extended his run of starts without conceding a goal to seven. In fact, Liverpool are yet to concede in a game Tsimikas has started.
The 25-year-old hasn’t put a foot wrong and many fans believe he should be a starter ahead of Andrew Robertson. The Scotland captain has had a few dodgy moments with his positioning and his end …
Tyler Morton - An Opportunity To Shine
Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Trent Alexander Arnold all graduated through the Liverpool academy. The success of each is part of the clubs illustrious history, and it is always a joy to see homegrown talent succeed as Liverpool players.
Within any historical football club, there are times when talent struggles to emerge due to the level of competition. There has been multiple false hopes in my lifetime, but there is still excitement when any …
Stan Collymore - What Could Have Been
When Ian Rush was past his prime as a Liverpool starter, it coincided with the emergence of the brilliant Robbie Fowler. The young striker (Fowler) exploded onto the scene with a flurry of goals. In the era of Roy Evans, it was still common place for teams to operate with two main strikers. Where the duo of Ian Rush and Peter Beardsley had been devastating, there became an urgent need to find the perfect partner for Robbie Fowler.
At Nottingham …
What should Liverpool do with Neco Williams?
The international break is an issue for two reasons: first, there’s no football for what feels like forever. Second, people start to judge players on what they’re doing for their national team and then complain that they aren’t replicating these performances at club level. It happened with Gini Wijnaldum and it is now happening with Neco Williams.
A lot of the time it is tied to output.
This player is scoring and assisting for their country, why aren’t they scoring …
Three Reasons Why Liverpool Will Win The Premier League This Season
The Premier League reaches its third international break of the season, but when the action resumes in a couple of weeks, the most crucial part of the season gets underway. Liverpool returns to action at Anfield against the in-form Arsenal, but why will the Reds win the Premier League this season?
Jurgen Klopp’s side are already among the favourites to win the top-flight title this term with Bongdaso. The sportsbook is one of the leading sites for gamblers looking to …
What does Steven Gerrard have to do with Aston Villa to get the Liverpool job?
That seems to be the question everyone has been asking since his appointment at Villa Park.
Some of the expectations being placed on him are over the top. People want him doing well with Villa in Europe, they want him pushing for the top six, doing well in domestic cups and taking scalps in the Premier League. Of course, all of that would be ideal. But I think we need to be realistic.
Villa have a good squad. They have …
The Player Ratings: Liverpool 4 - 0 Arsenal
Alisson Becker - 7.5
Mistakes will come now and again, but the world's best stopper showed a commanding presence in a routine display.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 9.5
Sensational. The teams primary playmaker is transcending the fullback position. Any manager in world football (club football anyway) would have this man over any other, and his domination of the right hand side is becoming an on going problem for the opposition. Two great assists.
Kostas Tsimikas - 7.5
He had the …
