Liverpool FC Opinion

Liverpool 1 – 0 Aston Villa- The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 5.5 Long stretches of inactivity and some hairy moments led to an up and down afternoon. If these suspect moments see a clean sheet and a probable kick start ensue (before the next run of games), then that’s just fine. Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.5 The low blocks and overloading of Gerrard’s Villa frustrated,...

Rob Jones – An Exceptional Fullback

The position of fullback has perhaps seen the biggest evolution over the last few decades, especially at Anfield. The current versions are an attacking force of nature, with Andy Robertson’s endeavour and willing a delight to behold. On the opposite flank, Trent Alexander Arnold has become an absolute revelation, and sits firmly as the...

Konaté vs Zlatan

It seems to be common within modern cinema, to pit an unstoppable force against the immovable object. It’s often a tale of strength, arrogance, and sometimes a legendary icon pitted against a worthy opponent. The last few weeks (indeed much of the season), has seen a certain rhetoric take place regarding certain players. The likes...

AC Milan 1-2 Liverpool: Player ratings

Liverpool became the first English team to win all six of their Champions League group stage matches by beating AC Milan 2-1 at the San Siro. The Reds must have felt almost guilty as they crushed Milan's Round of 16 dream even after making nine changes from the weekend's win over Wolves. Fikayo Tomori had put...

Wolves 0 – 1 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.5 Did everything well, and the few chances that came Wolves' way, were dealt with in a usual fashion. Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0 Struggled with the deep block and defensive overload, but had next to no issues defensively. A good game, and always frustrating when opposing teams are so organised. Andy Robertson - 7.5 Kept...

A Goodison Park Dream

I remember (many, many years ago), spending entire days playing Championship Manager. It would have been at least 25 years ago, where I would spend entire summer holidays managing teams, and searching for players to sign. Often times I would be the Liverpool manager, but here and there I would mix up my club...

Everton 1 – 4 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.0 Wasn’t at fault for Grays goal, and showed good use of the ball. Not his busiest evening (in terms of shots saved), and commanded when is required. Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.5 Possibly could have swept tighter for the goal, but the all in all, a solid game. Good progression of the ball,...

Ray Kennedy – Remembering An Anfield Legend

A few weeks ago we said our goodbyes to Roger Hunt, a reminder that as new heroes are created, the past legends will eventually leave us. The sad news this week saw former Liverpool player, Ray Kennedy, pass away. At just 70 years of age, the former reds midfielder leaves behind a glittering career in...

One Night In Southampton

When Jürgen Norbert Klopp arrived at Liverpool, there was a sense of relief and hope. The style of football quickly changed, the tempo of the matches picked up, the gegenpressing began to unfold, and certain players started to fall under the intense pressure. Brendan Rodgers and his patterns of play were forever changing at Liverpool,...

Liverpool 4 – 0 Southampton – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 8.0 Some important stops allowed Liverpool to avoid any issues. The most important goalkeeper in Liverpool’s Premier League era, and irreplaceable in this side. Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.0 So impressive in his game. The elegance and natural ability he has is unmatched by any other attacking fullback. Another assist for this sensational talent,...
