Liverpool FC Player Ratings
“Need someone to do the post-match player ratings” was the request from AI’s supremo Gags Tandon. “Great!”, I thought; after wallopping City, Liverpool look like they can trounce any team in the world right now, and this will be my chance to dish 10 ratings all round for perhaps the greatest derby mauling of all […]
That was unbelievable. Far and away Liverpool’s best display under Klopp. We’ve attacked better, yet scored three. There hasn’t been a better defensive display under the German. One foot into the semi-finals, surely? Score one at their place and they have to score five. Not rocket science is it, lads? Anyway, here’s me on player […]
There was something so routine and yet so unbelievable about that. For a player who scores so frequently, it’s mad that it’s Mo Salah’s first hat-trick. Even crazier that he decided to score four, not three. Liverpool 5-0 Watford – into the home-stretch of the season with a win. Andy Robertson’s gang of beautiful lads […]
Liverpool were so ‘un-Liverpool’ like in attack, and so ‘Liverpool’ in their defence as they slumped to defeat at Old Trafford. The second half was a better performance and the ref was a nutcase, but that does not take away a shambolic defensive performance in first half. Loris Karius (5) – Left high and dry for […]
Job done, professional work, blah blah blah. That was a little boring, wasn’t it? Liverpool (5) 0-0 (0) Porto. Onto Old Trafford and into the quarter-finals. Another clean sheet for Big Loris Loris Karius (7): Keeps clean sheets, looks cool. And now he’s done the simple stuff in a simple manner! Lively off his line in […]
It was a tough opening half to the game as Newcastle defended in an organized manner, but once Salah put Liverpool ahead, there was always going to be only one winner. This is how the Reds fared. Loris Karius (8) – Was a spectator for most of the match, but when called upon, made a world-class […]
THE REDS. THE ABSOLUTE REDS. These Reds, our Reds, your Reds, my Reds. What a night. Liverpool return to the Champions League knockout stages after 9 years with the style and swagger of a side who had won the whole thing for nine straight years. Breaking records, breaking Portuguese hearts and breaking the net, it […]
Struggling to wrap my head around that one, in the aftermath. How much context will the draw have in our season? Probably not that much. Who gains momentum from this one, probably neither. Both teams will feel they should have won. John Moss won’t be getting a jokey referee rating from me because there aren’t […]
A win, something we can all breathe a sigh of relief at. A turbulent couple of weeks for Liverpool with transfers, or lack thereof, and some disappointing results, but tonight we can all just smile. Save the transfer rage for Wednesday the 31st and Jim White’s yellow ties. Can, Firmino and Salah were on the […]
Typical Liverpool eh? Beat the Premier League leaders one week, lose to the league’s bottom the next. It was a disjointed Reds side up against a spirited Swansea outfit, who displayed tremendous team-spirit and character to come out with a 1-0 win that ensured Liverpool couldn’t extend their advantage over Spurs to more than two […]
