Lessons Learned: Brighton (A)

The irony of this weeks title eh? It seemed like Jurgen Klopp and his charges did the exact opposite as they delivered their worst performance of the season against Brighton in a game that left any top four hopes hanging by a thread. Fair play to those fans who stayed until the end as...

Brighton 3 – 0 Liverpool – Man of the Match

Brighton 3 - 0 Liverpool – Man of the Match Ibrahima Konate Only one man was able to stand up and be counted in this game. With a systematic failure now spreading all around him, Ibou was at least able to show the fight, determination and spirit that is yet to be drained from him. With a...

Brighton 3 – 0 Liverpool – PL Player Ratings

Brighton 3 - 0 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 4.0 Despite his struggles against Wolves last week, we must admire everything this giant Brazilian brings to this team. That was until the last game, where it seems, he has dropped to the level of his peers. Not all bad, but nothing that was...

Our First Glimpse of Cody Gakpo

  I am still a little bit annoyed that a forward was brought in before a central midfielder, yet I still believe that will be sorted in the coming weeks. It’s probably a little premature to look too heavily into Cody Gakpo (after his first 83 minutes vs Wolves), yet right now is all about...

Time To Start Naby Keïta

Simon Brundish retweeted something on Tuesday, stating a very high win percentage for the games where Naby Keïta has started in recent years. I am a big fan of the little Guinean international, whereas much of the fanbase has become dissatisfied with his inability to stay fit. Last season saw him make forty appearances...

January’s Knife Edge: Pivotal Period

I love a good quote. There’s a great one by Eugino Montale that states “happiness, for you we walk on a knife edge.” It’s felt that way most of this season for any red and if anything, it feel’s like it’s only set to intensify in the near future. Liverpool only have two remaining...

Brighton v Liverpool – The Premier League Preview

After the Reds 2-2 home draw with Wolves in the FA Cup, it means they now face a replay at the Molineux Stadium next Tuesday evening. That game will be quickly followed by a visit from Chelsea, in what could prove a defining encounter in the race for top four. Before all that potential...

Liverpool 2 – 2 Wolves – The FA Cup Post-Mortem

As we approach another Premier League fixture, we can now look at the Reds as having struggled in every single competition this season. In the pre-match build up to Saturday's game there was a real sense of belief, with the manager opting for his most valuable starting eleven. That game saw Wolverhampton Wanderers arrive...

Jurgen Klopp: Pivotal Period with Worrying Wenger Parallels

It all feels so pivotal this month. There’s not all that many games truth be told, although a replay against Wolves will likely be inserted somewhere but any break for Liverpool in recent times appears to have been of little benefit. Only seven of the first team squad went to the World Cup and...

Caoimhin Kelleher: Likely The Final Act

With all focus around the January transfer window, Liverpool’s midfield issues and the potential debut of Cody Gakpo, there was one story that very few picked up on this weekend. Amidst all the questions, Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Allison would be his FA Cup keeper. Whilst not the biggest or even noteworthy headline, the...
