England Exclusion Fires Trent Alexander Arnold Into Top Form

Trent Alexander Arnold's name was a notable absence from Gareth Southgate's England squad for March's international window. The 22-year-old full-back was left out of the Three Lions' picture for their World Cup qualifiers with San Marino, Albania, and Poland, with Kyle Walker, Reece James, and Kieran Trippier preferred. The decision to leave the Champions League and...

How To Deploy The Ox

Where now for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain? When Jurgen Klopp paid the money for Ox, it was an investment in vast talent, adaptability and potentially his passport that made the move logical. Unfortunately, the player arrived with a somewhat problematic injury record, and this has not ceased during his spell as a red. The fans, for the...

Why Liverpool shouldn’t sign Rodrigo De Paul

Liverpool’s leading scorer from midfield this season is Gini Wijnaldum and he’s found the back of the net just twice in the Premier League.  The lack of goals from those in the middle third is the primary reason so many fans want the Reds to add an attacking midfielder to their ranks this summer. Houssem...

Thiago and Fabinho Axis Show The Way Forward For Liverpool

It has mostly been a train wreck of a season for Liverpool. Going into the season as defending champions, the Reds -- crippled by a huge injury toll -- relinquished their title without as much as a whimper and they gave a generally poor account of themselves in cup competitions, both domestically and in Europe. As...

Late Alisson Winner Keeps Liverpool’s Champions League Hopes Alive

A late Alisson Becker winner secured Liverpool a last gasp 2-1 win against West Bromwich Albion that kept their Champions League qualification hopes alive. Drawing 1-1 against a deep-sitting home team, the Reds won a corner in the fourth minute of the allotted extra time. Trent Alexander Arnold's corner was then met powerfully by the...

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s influence on this Liverpool team

Trent Alexander-Arnold has made eight appearances for Liverpool since he was dropped from the England squad. He’s been my Man-of-the-Match in half of them. With the Reds needing big performances, the right-back has stepped up. The 22-year-old isn’t getting the plaudits he deserves and it is partly because he’s the victim of his own...

Brave Klopp Selections Keeps Liverpool In Champions League Picture

Prior to this season, Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams had the same amount of top-flight football experience as you and I: zero. The highest rung of the football ladder that Phillips -- who was close to accepting a footballing college scholarship in the United States before joining the Liverpool academy -- found himself on was...

Squad role for Harvey Elliott at Liverpool next season?

Many football fans are guilty of getting carried away about young players, particularly English individuals who play for their own team. It's only natural, in fairness, with the thought of a young homegrown talent eventually becoming a superstar one of the most appealing stories in the game. We have seen it firsthand with Steven Gerrard and...

Liverpool Keep Champions League Hopes Alive With Old Trafford Win

Liverpool kept their Champions League qualification hopes alive with a 4-2 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. Chelsea losing at home to Arsenal last night boosted the Reds' chances of a top-four finish, provided they kept their good form alive and they duly obliged with a superb performance. A brace from Roberto Firmino and further...

Jurgen Klopp and Goals From Midfield

There are no two ways about it, Liverpool have had a poor season. Going from winning the league by an eighteen-point margin to fretting about your prospects of finishing in the top four ahead of West Ham United and Leicester City has been a hell of a comedown for the Reds. Criticism has inevitably followed and...
