It’s hard to believe it was even a contest for the first half it seems that long ago. Liverpool weren’t just beaten by Manchester City they were outworked, outfought and second best in every measure. For all that seemed good for the first forty-five, it was the exact opposite in a second-half where you...
When Thiago arrived at Liverpool in the summer of 2020, it was almost impossible not to feel ecstatic at the news, with the Spaniard one of the most gifted midfielders of his generation.
The Reds had enjoyed so much success with a hard-working, functional midfield of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum, as well as...
Manchester City 4 - 1 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 5.0
An unsure day of goalkeeping for the giant Brazilian, though he was once again let down by a plethora of inept players ahead of him. He remains the reds best player this season.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 3.0
A poor defensive showing, with so...
After the weekend (which saw several Liverpool legends assemble), I had a little thought about which one I could possibly write about. One of my colleagues has written about the next steps of Steven Gerrard (available this week on Anfield Index), whereas I have chosen to compile what I believe to be the best...
Steven George Gerrard MBE (noun): to evoke warm and incredible memories of a time when a demi-god captained your football team and no matter who was alongside him, you believed anything was possible. Also see: big match winning performances and generational talents. A genuine Reds legend, he showed at the LFC Foundation game against...
This used to be a game I would relish, in the knowledge that Liverpool would take the fight to their most recent domestic rivals. Though the silverware count is very much in favour of Pep Guardiola and City, so is the amount of Premier League charges that have come their way. If not for...
Come the 1st August, Liverpool will be desperately hoping they’re not looking like fools as they get set to face Manchester City after the international break. With the business end of the season now read to swing into gear, there can’t be anymore false dawns if what has been a shitshow of a season...
In terms of modern-day football and essentially when representing an elite footballing club, it’s important to know when to manage the rigours of top tier competition. The likes of Jamie Carragher, Paul Scholes, and James Milner, all brought their international tenures to an early halt in order to add longevity to their domestic careers....
Another year goes by, which brings us to the moment where James Milner is primed to be given yet another 1 year’s contract extension.
Â
I’m a fan of James Milner, as I believe he has a superb attitude for football, can offer vast experience (to younger players) and can be a senior presence on the...
Investment, transfers and off-the-field matters are dominating discussion during another turgid international break and it’s understandable as to why. With talk of FSG and Liverpool seeking or being close to a minority investment, the rest of the football world has been casting its eyes down the East Lancs road and watching developments closely. Whilst...
