Liverpool FC Opinion
Ozan Kabak joined Liverpool on a loan deal on transfer deadline day in January in order to provide an injury-depleted squad with natural defensive nous and experience. Fabinho and, to a lesser extent, Jordan Henderson had been operating in the heart of the Reds’ defence and this — along with Henderson’s inability, through no fault […]
The win over Burnley was exactly the sort of game Thiago was signed for. He was one of the main reasons Liverpool were able to stamp their authority on the match. As a result, not only did they dominate the ball, they also dominated the space. That was the big difference. Usually, in matches against […]
One of the hardest things as a football supporter is finding a fair middle ground. We’re all guilty of going overboard one way or the other. If a player you love plays well, it’s the greatest performance you’ve ever seen. If a player you don’t rate is slightly off the boil, he’s a complete waste […]
Tuesday night’s undesirable scoreline at Stamford Bridge raised the prospect of goal difference proving decisive, yet that seemed like a problem for Sunday. For this fixture – a midweek trip to Burnley, whose reputation as feather-ruffling traditionalists precedes them and who were sure to be buoyed by the return of spectators – the assignment was […]
Liverpool’s Champions League qualification hopes were boosted after a 3-0 win away to Burnley. The Reds went into the clash at Turf Moor knowing they needed a win to keep alive their prospects of Champions League football next season and they duly obliged in a dominant performance. Goals from Roberto Firmino, Nat Phillips, and replacement […]
Thiago Alcantara was sublime in Liverpool’s 2-1 victory away to West Bromwich Albion last Sunday. Following on from an impressive performance in the Reds’ 4-2 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford a few days previously, the Spanish international provided a creative spark and dogged defensive diligence that the away team needed in a tough […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
