Deconstructing Steven Gerrard's Start at Rangers
As Rangers fans celebrated luring Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard to Ibrox for a maiden senior management gig this summer, those at Anfield watched on with intrigued eyes.
How would a man that had only experienced management at Youth Academy level fare when thrown in at the deep end, with limited funds, at a club where the expectations and pressure are through the roof? Will it one day be the stepping stone that lands Gerrard the hot-seat back on Merseyside or …
Stop Worrying About Mohamed Salah
Mo Salah has made a slightly below-par start to the season, and one that was exacerbated by his poor performance and misplaced pass that led to Mbappe’s equaliser in Liverpool’s 3-2 win over PSG on Tuesday night. But given that I am an unapologetic Mo Salah fan and have recently written articles saying that he’ll be able to match his haul from last season, I feel duty-bound to tell everyone not to worry, for a multitude of reasons.
The first …

Observations as Firmino fires Liverpool to opening European win
And breathe. Liverpool are up and running in Europe once again by virtue of Roberto Firmino's last-gasp winner against PSG at Anfield.
Three points that looked as if they'd been lost wrestled back by one moment of genius from the Brazilian - who needs more than one eye?
Speaking of eyes, here's what I saw with mine.
An expected score in an unexpected manner
That was a weird one. If you'd told me ahead of the game that Liverpool were …
Key Stats from the Bobby Firmino Show - Liverpool 3 PSG 2
Liverpool went top of Group C with a breath-taking 3-2 win over Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield. But what were the key stats from a pulsating and thoroughly deserved win?
Penalty Man Milner Just Keeps On Running
James Milner was once again damned close to being Liverpool’s best player, with a superb display in the middle of the park. Milner won five tackles, had an 86% pass completion rate from his 44 passes, an interception and a clearance, as well as …
Liverpool 3-2 PSG: Man of the Match
Just three days after beating one of the best sides in the Premier League, Liverpool underlined their European ambitions by comprehensively outplaying, and battling past, a member of the continental elite.
After Mohamed Salah's frustrating evening took a nightmarish turn when he conceded possession in the middle of the park in the lead-up to PSG's gut-wrenching equaliser, one of his two partners in crime produced a moment of magic from the substitutes' bench to ensure this was another memorable European …
Liverpool Left Back Andy Robertson Now Emerging as a Leader
Andy Robertson's journey to becoming Scotland skipper and an Anfield regular following in the footsteps of Tartan team icons like Alan Hansen and Kenny Dalglish is a curious one.
Released by Celtic in his early teens for being too small, he's proved the Bhoys academy coaches completely wrong by forging a top-flight career on both sides of the border.
Via lower division outfit Queen's Park and Scottish Premiership side Dundee United, Robertson made it to Hull City where Steve Bruce clearly saw …
Liverpool 3-2 PSG: One-Eyed Firmino Makes His Mark
It’d be wrong to suggest this isn’t one of the toughest groups of the competition; Napoli and PSG present two scintillating trips while Red Star Belgrade are hardly pushovers having won the Serbian league last season. Under the floodlights, bouncing to the tune of ‘Allez Allez Allez’, Liverpool stepped out prepped and ready for a new Champions League campaign with a collective sense of ‘bring it on’ rather than a fearful demeanour.
There’s been nothing frenetic about Liverpool’s start to …
Liverpool 3-2 PSG: Player Ratings as Bobby dazzles Anfield late
Liverpool made Anfield fret, but Liverpool had more late European drama at Anfield, as an injury time winner from Roberto Firmino gave the Reds a 3-2 win over Paris St. Germain and a winning start to their Champions League campaign.
Daniel Sturridge's header and James Milner's penalty put the Reds on course, but Thomas Meunier pulled one back for the French champions before half-time. Kylian Mbappe looked to have recovered a point for PSG when he scored in the 83rd …
The Firmino 9
Roberto Firmino was the perfect the false 9, then Klopp's number 9 and now the Firmino 9.
Has Bobby redefined the centre-forward position for Liverpool during Klopp's tenure?
When Liverpool signed Firmino from Hoffenheim, he was known as a goal scoring attacking midfield. Under Rodgers, he played as a wide forward and didn't appear to be favoured by the manager, but the arrival of Klopp bought a clear and defined role for the Brazilian.
Jurgen Klopp was a fan of …
