Player Ratings as Liverpool are crowned Champions of the World

Mohamed Salah and His Right Foot

Mohamed Salah is a goalscorer supreme, he’s explosively quick and he’s creatively a force of nature. But he doesn’t have a right foot.  To begin with, it wasn’t a problem. Teams couldn’t deal with the curly-haired, fleet-footed Egyptian and he’d find a way to wriggle back onto his favoured left foot when it mattered most....

The Danger Men for Flamengo

It wasn’t pretty but Liverpool did enough to see off Monterrey and set up a Club World Cup final clash with Flamengo. The Brazilians have enjoyed a successful year under former Benfica manager Jorge Jesus and victory on Saturday would see them complete a unique treble having already claimed the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A...

Monterrey 1-2 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match?

Liverpool progress to the final of the Club World Cup after a far from convincing 2-1 win over Monterrey. The Reds left it late once again, but Roberto Firmino’s injury-time goal was enough to clinch the victory following Naby Keita’s opener and Funes Mori’s leveller. The team selected to start the game was unorthodox,...

Firmino Fires Liverpool Into World Final

A late goal from substitute Roberto Firmino sealed Liverpool's passage to Saturday's Club World Cup final in the Reds' 2-1 win over Monterrey of Mexico.

Liverpool 2-1 Monterrey: Player Ratings as Reds leave it late again

Naby Keita put Liverpool...

Minamino Signing Means New Liverpool Transfer Strategy

Pending a successful medical, Liverpool will sign Japan international Takumi Minamino from RB Salzburg in January. After impressing twice against the Reds in this season's Champions League group stage, the 24 year old will join £7.25M after the European Champions elected to trigger his paltry release clause. Capable of playing across the front three, off the...

Young Liverpool Bow Out of League Cup

An extremely young Liverpool team bowed out of the Carabao Cup after falling to a 5-0 defeat away to Aston Villa tonight. With the senior players in Qatar preparing for the Club World Cup semi final against Monterrey of Mexico tomorrow, the Reds opted to pick a squad -- with an average age of 19...

Why Mohamed Salah looks back to his best for Liverpool

Watching Mohamed Salah’s performances over recent weeks as a Liverpool fan has been frustrating. Against Red Bull Salzburg, the Egyptian forward managed to miss countless chances before finally putting the ball into the back of the net from an utterly ridiculous angle on his weaker foot.  He followed that showing up with what was at...

How Much Can Klopp’s Liverpool Win?

For a lot of Liverpool fans, it feels like waiting for the other shoe to drop. 16 wins out of 17 in the Premier League and topping their Champions’ League group, the Reds have suffered just one defeat across those two competitions, and ahead of the Club World Cup in Qatar, leave the Premier League...
