Liverpool FC Opinion
A hallmark of Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp has been their psychological strength. For every curb-ball thrown and every hurdle faced, the Reds have responded like the Champions they are. After losing the Champions League final in 2018 in the most heartbreaking of fashion, the bones of the same Liverpool squad — minus Emre Can and […]
Liverpool’s defensive line only seems to be put under the microscope after multiple goals are conceded in a single game. It’s an easy target for over the top, reactionary analysis. There was no real mention of it last season when the Reds conceded 17 goals in 27 Premier League matches. An average of 0.62 goals […]
In these unprecedented times of lockdown, sanitizer, empty stadiums and the Netflix / Amazon Prime binge, I’ve found myself often searching for new ways to occupy both my mind as well as my body. With the remarkable closure to a triumphant league campaign by the reds, the common football fan was greeted by the unique […]
There was a time when everything Man United did was superior to Liverpool: Â winning more trophies, having a better manager and signing world-class players. Thankfully, those days are gone. United’s latest humiliation at the hands of Tottenham was great to see – until the Reds lost 7-2 a few hours later, at least – and […]
Let’s face it, with the exceptions of Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah, no one came out of Liverpool’s 7-2 mauling by Aston Villa with their reputations enhanced. Most of the social media scorn, however, has been directed at Adrian. The accident-prone Spanish goalkeeper played an unfortunate role in the first of Villa’s avalanche of goals. […]
It’s pointless to turn one player into the scapegoat for the 7-2 loss to Aston Villa. The majority of the team had arguably their worst game in a red shirt and it’s a game you just have to take on the chin, safe in the knowledge Jurgen Klopp’s teams always react. The compilation videos serve […]
Rooting through the charred remains of Liverpool’s 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa in search of positives is an entirely difficult pursuit. To concede seven goals — and, on balance, it could have been even more — away to a team who just about managed to survive in the Premier League last season was arguably the […]
Some footballers can go through slumps in form and still look something close to their best, but others are the polar opposite, turning into pale imitations of themselves. Unfortunately, Roberto Firmino belongs in the latter category. The Brazilian has been a sensational performer for Liverpool over the past five years, overcoming Brendan Rodgers’ bizarre use […]
Naby Keita has been a starter in all the Premier League games, added to his appearances at the tail end of last season — the biggest run of consecutive starts in the Guinean’s spell at the club with five league starts on the bounce. The injuries which scuppered the 25-year-olds attempts to build consistency at […]
Liverpool headed to Villa Park without three of their star players: Mané and Thiago were ruled out due to testing positive for COVID-19, whilst Alisson, who had made a number of fine saves in the previous match against Arsenal had sustained a significant injury during training. This meant that Liverpool would start with Jota in […]
