Liverpool FC Opinion

Curtis Jones Influence Helping Firmino Fire Again

For much of the past year, Roberto Firmino has suffered a downturn in form. That much is undeniable. But many people -- because of committing wholeheartedly to this narrative -- have now not recognized that in the last month the Brazilian international has returned to his old, sharp self. The bright toothed number 9 netted in...

Liverpool remain title favourites but don’t expect perfection

The last three years have seen something close to perfection achieved from the eventual Premier League champions. On two occasions, Man City took home the glory, before Liverpool got the better of their rivals emphatically last season, finally get their hands on another league crown. City reached 100 points in 2017/18, swatting everyone aside and playing...

Sven Botman: The ideal centre-back for Liverpool?

Lille tend to be shrewd operators in the transfer market, especially when it comes to selling. Yet the feeling was they’d allowed Gabriel Magalhães to leave the club for a knockdown price having only pocketed £27million for the in-demand centre-back. Liverpool, Chelsea and Everton had all been linked with the Brazilian but it was Arsenal...

Firmino Fires Liverpool To Top Of Premier League Table

Liverpool moved to the summit of the Premier League table after beating Tottenham Hotspurs 2-1 in the first versus second clash at Anfield. Heung Min Son had equalised for the uber defensive visitors after a deflected Mohamed Salah strike gave the Reds a more than deserved lead. Then, in stoppage time at the end of...

Tactical Breakdown: Fulham 1-1 Liverpool

"Before looking at tactics I think it’s important to preface any tactical discussion within the unique circumstances players, managers and clubs find themselves in, especially Liverpool FC. Jürgen Klopp’s team is currently in the midst of a season in which their pre-season was disrupted, their transfer plans unexpectedly affected and in which games are being...

In Defence Of Takumi Minamino

Takumi Minamino's quality and suitability to the team has been questioned by a section of Liverpool fans online recently. After failing to impose himself on a number of games, some have even gone to the length of calling the Japanese international's signing a flop.  While there is a kernel of truth to these complaints, they...

Minamino’s movement can make Liverpool even more of a threat

Takumi Minamino is a divisive subject amongst Liverpool fans. Though having said that, it’s probably easier to name those who don’t divide opinion at Anfield. The Reds are reigning champions, yet if you listened to most on social media you’d be mistaken for thinking they were a mid-table side that needed wholesale changes.  Minamino is...

Fabinho’s Liverpool Form Could Lead To International Rethink

Fabinho has acclimatized to life as a centre half swimmingly. Contending with a glut of injuries to their defenders, Liverpool turned to their Brazilian defensive midfield shield in their hour of need and the 27-year-old has excelled in the heart of defence. Prior to Sunday's laboured 1-1 draw at Fulham, Liverpool went 945 minutes in the...

Why Liverpool Must Keep Georginio Wijnaldum

When asked about his future in a post-match press conference after Liverpool's recent 4-0 win over Wolves at Anfield, Georginio Wijnaldum was coy. The Dutch international, who is a few weeks from entering the final six months of his Reds contract and will then -- by law -- be able to talk to continental clubs...

Fulham 1-1 Liverpool: Player ratings as Reds stutter on the road again

Tottenham Hotspur's stumble at Crystal Palace means Liverpool stay joint-top ahead of Wednesday's Anfield clash, but they can't expect to stay at the summit for long unless they rediscover their consistency. They have won only one game away from home this season and have developed a remarkable habit of following-up world-class performances with unrecognisable displays. After...
