As a child of the early 80s, I was probably blessed by being able to see a number of talented strike pairings, this being throughout the Liverpool teams in the 1980s and 90s. As a teenager I would probably say that Robbie Fowler and Stan Collymore stand as the first pairing I truly appreciated,...
Like a bolt from the blue, Fabinho arrived for £40m from Monaco. It was a deal that none of the so called ITK’s saw coming, and it was a move that the Reds' midfield desperately needed. Not since Javier Mascherano had Liverpool been able to field an elite CDM, but in Fabinho that wrong...
ah, where do we start. A rough night for the Reds in Nottingham.
The Goal
Another calamity of errors from Liverpool in the back. Gomez loses to Awoniyi in a terrible spot due to a brain lapse, and does the only reasonable thing left, take the yellow and gift Forest a deep free kick. The kick...
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 8.0
The reds penalty saving hero in the week, and most consistently reliable shield against attacks this year. He was as critical with some smart saves early on, as Liverpool were slow out of the blocks. Made a tremendous save late on, and that’s not a good thing to be so...
Through the summer months and until Joe Gomez signed his new Liverpool deal, there was speculation as to whether the gifted defender could be moved on for a substantial fee. With the current stock not incredibly high amongst English defenders, we have seen the likes of Ben White move for £50 million. If you...
After a busy midweek of matches on Amazon Prime, we reach the weekend with this lunch time fixture first up for the Premier League. It pits two historical clubs against one another, and could be the game of the weekend.
After very dissimilar summers in the market, a heavily revamped Forest Squad meet a Liverpool...
Just as Trent Alexander Arnold has landed in 22nd place in the ballon d’Or listing for 2022, it comes after (and perhaps within) a period when much of Trent‘s abilities have been brought into question. Trent Alexander Arnold is a fantastic and world class footballer, with unbelievable attributes. His level is obviously fully appreciated...
Another week in the life of Liverpool. Some places exist in a perpetual state of newsiness. Anfield is one of them. The win over Manchester City was uplifting but events off the field were dispiriting. The behaviour of City fans was reprehensible but their club’s response was even worse. The reaction from the Etihad...
Liverpool 1 - 0 West Ham - PL Man Of The Match
Virgil Van Dijk
Far from his absolute best, but this was all about controlling his defensive third, and demanding those around him carried out their duties.
Was strong aerially, vocal, and alert to snuff out dangers. His ability to read the game and on coming...
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 7.0
After the most uncomfortable of starts (those passes out from the back), he soon came back with a vengeance. A beautiful penalty save from Bowen was well deserved for a dubious penalty decision. Was pretty much untested apart from the odd moment.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0
A very assured defenders performance,...
