Brighton 2 – 1 Liverpool – The FA Cup Man Of The Match

Brighton 2 - 1 Liverpool - The FA Cup Man Of The Match Stefan Bajčetić With a new long-term contract secured this week, it is a positive step for an underwhelming midfield. His composure, reading of the game, intelligence, and decision making is far beyond his tender years. In the middle of two controlling players, he offered...

Brighton 2 – 1 Liverpool – FA Cup Player Ratings

Brighton 2 - 1 Liverpool - FA Cup Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 7.0 Let down by his team being unable to win the game. Could do very little for both goals concerned, and what he did accomplish, he did so with ease. Not the issue at all. Trent Alexander Arnold - 6.0 We need this kind of energy...

Return to Brighton: The Scene of the Crime

As the old saying goes ‘the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime’. It would be hard to describe Liverpool’s last visit to the AMEX Stadium as anything other than that, in what turned out to be a dismal 3-0 defeat earlier this month. The Reds now have a chance to exercise...

Mohamed Salah: Past his best or a victim of the system?

First thing's first: Mohamed Salah is one of the greatest footballers in Liverpool's long and trophy-laden history, regardless of what happens in the future. Some may even argue that only Sir Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard now lie ahead of him among the pantheon of Reds greats, although age and favouritism will always make for...

Is Klopp Mishandling Harvey Elliott?

When Liverpool signed Harvey Elliott from Fulham, it came after a long period of monitoring and negotiation. The eventual tribunal resulted in the 16-year-old signing for the Reds for an undisclosed fee, with the deal being deemed a successful acquisition of one of England’s most talented young stars. This type of deal was always...

Brighton v Liverpool – The FA Cup 4th Round Preview

After the Reds' 3-0 loss away to Brighton two weeks ago, it’s fair to say that this FA Cup match up could be viewed in a couple of different ways. On one hand, it’s a chance for Liverpool to exorcise some of the demons created. On the more realistic hand, it’s perhaps another game...

Liverpool 0 – 0 Chelsea – The Post-Mortem 

In terms of the result and path to get there, Liverpool were able to look more defensively stable, which resulted in a clean sheet. With only one point gained from a very uneventful game, it appears that this is the stodgy kind of performance that the Reds wanted in order to start regaining control...

Lessons Learned: Chelsea

A rather uneventful afternoon at Anfield ended goalless against Chelsea, as both sides saw their remaining but limited hopes of champions league qualification take a further dent. In truth, Liverpool deserved nothing more from a game where they offered minimal threat for the majority of the occasion. As both teams take a point and...

Fabio Carvalho: Summer Decision Pending

With the Reds getting back to winning ways in midweek, praise was rightly lavished on youngsters such as Harvey Elliott and Stefan Bajcetic for their performances. Fabio Carvalho worked hard on the night before his withdrawal, but didn’t really draw any focus or plaudits as such. It’s been a mixed season for the former...

Liverpool 0 – 0 Chelsea – PL Man of the Match

Liverpool 0 - 0 Chelsea - PL Man of the Match   Ibrahima Konate Ibou is every inch the Virgil successor, and his 6ft 4 inch frame continues to defy his tender years. With a continual blockade representing his defensive style, his physical approach is giving strikers little room to excel. A good relationship is brewing with himself and...
