An Ode To Andy Robertson, Liverpool’s Bionic Left Back

There are no two ways about it, Andy Robertson hasn't been as good this season as the campaigns that proceeded it. At the time of writing, the Scotland captain has only recorded five league assists, compared to 12 last season. Barring a huge glut in the final ten games of the campaign, the 27-year-old is...

Why Do We Still Underrate Mo Salah?

Mo Salah scored his 25th goal of the season in last Wednesday’s defeat of Leipzig. The Egyptian continues to break records but is yet to be considered as one of the world's best players, which begs the question: Why do we still underrate Mo Salah?   It is a tough question; maybe it is the slight...

The truth about Thiago and his pressing

The arrival of Thiago was supposed to give Liverpool a Plan B. The fear was that the opposition would soon find a way to limit the influence of the full-backs and that the Reds might get found out. However, injuries and Covid robbed Jurgen Klopp of his No.6 for the best part of half...

The Thiago & Fabinho Partnership: The Midfield of Liverpool’s Future

Finally, for the first time since October, Fabinho played as a defensive midfielder in Liverpool's 2-0 Champions League last 16 win over Red Bull Leipzig. The Brazilian, who, due to the Reds' huge injury toll, had operated in the centre half role for the majority of the season. The 27-year-old mostly excelled in the heart...

Tactical Breakdown: Liverpool 2-0 RB Leipzig

Liverpool won 2-0 in their "home" leg in Budapest against RB Leipzig to progress to the quarter finals of the Champions League. The victory in both result and performance was similar to the first leg, with the Reds creating a number of big chances, but Leipzig not managing to convert any of theirs either. Fabinho...

Phillips & Kabak: Liverpool’s Should Be Pairing At The Back

Liverpool, allowing for exaggeration, fielded their 8000th centre-half combination of the season against Red Bull Leipzig in their 2-0 Champions League last 16 victory over the German's last Wednesday night. Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak saddled up together for only the second time and the young duo was largely superb in keeping a clean sheet...

No Champions League football could be blessing in disguise

It feels ridiculous even contemplating starting this article in all honesty. The reigning champions left licking their wounds as they limp through what has been nothing short of a horror show. Now, instead of what we all thought would be a season where Liverpool would make a stern defence of the trophy that had alluded them...

Ozan Kabak: Harshly criticised and under-praised

LIVERPOOL ARE BACK! Well, they've won another game, at least. The Reds were excellent in their 2-0 win over RB Leipzig, as they were in the first leg and in a smattering of recent away matches. For all this incomprehensibly bad home form at Anfield, which is now bordering on laughable, Jurgen Klopp's men haven't completely...

#SellThemAll (Except the Scousers)

Every individual human involved in Liverpool Football Club, any pack animals utilised in Nike’s kit supply chain, the cows that provided the leather for our boots, even inanimate objects should be open for critique at this point. Yes, our recent past includes some of the best memories this club has experienced in a generation....

Liverpool And The Fabinho Conundrum

Without a shred of a doubt, Fabinho has been Liverpool's best centre half this season. Considering the Brazilian only played the role once previously, keeping Robert Lewandowski scoreless in a 0-0 Champions League draw with FC Bayern in 2019, his adaptation to the heart of the defence has been remarkable. In lieu of the injured Virgil...
