Konate or Matip: Who should start next to Van Dijk for Liverpool?

We as Liverpool fans are not used to having proper squad depth. It might explain why we’re always so eager to pit players against one another and declare one the winner. We did it with Kostas Tsimikas and Andrew Robertson earlier on in the season. Instead of marvelling at the fact we had left-back cover...

Quick Season Assessment: Has this been a Good Season for Liverpool?

When it comes to the Premier League, it isn’t over until the Reds say so. Jürgen Klopp’s side has made a massive comeback and is ever so close to taking advantage of the slip-up (the irony) that Pep’s side has done. While critics have been overly harsh with how they assess the Liverpool situation,...

What is Jordan Henderson’s best position for Liverpool?

It feels as though we have this conversation every other year. Jordan Henderson will play a different role and there will be a big debate with regards to whether the new position is actually the best one for him moving forward. There will then be a fair bit of revisionism as people highlight their opinions...

Key Stats as majestic Liverpool cruise past Leeds United

Liverpool were in imperious form as they crushed Leeds United under their collective boot, recording their biggest win of the season courtesy of goals from Salah (2), Matip, Mane (2) and Van Dijk.

Liverpool 6 – 0 Leeds – The Player Ratings

Liverpool 6 - 0 Leeds - The Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 7.5 His last start before he makes way for the final, and was a spectator in this one as he will be on Sunday. Continued to watch the game, as nothing much came into the reds half. Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.5 Back into the team,...

Ibrahima Konaté & The First Team Shirt

When Jürgen Klopp became the Liverpool manager his central defenders consisted of Martin Škrtel, Mamadou Sakho, Dejan Lovren, and maybe a few more youngsters. As we enter the crunch period of this season, Liverpool possess perhaps the strongest array of central defenders in European football. When they won the Premier League two years ago,...

Under Pressure – Classical Tactical Battle & Superb Salah

It was another double header for the Under Pressure boys: the two-nil victory away at Inter Milan in the San Siro in the knockout stage of the Champions League, as well as the 3-1 win at home to Norwich in the Premier League. While the Reds ended up winning in Italy in the first leg,...

This title race is far from over

Liverpool are still in the thick of the fight, still challenging for the Premier League title, still battling away and refusing to give up. The side led by Jurgen Klopp will never be known as quitters, never willing to throw in the towel until every last ounce of effort has been given, and never...

Post-Match RAW: Thiago Turns It On

After a goalless first half, and then Norwich's deflected goal to put them one-nil up it looked like any slim hope of a close title run-in with Manchester City were all but doomed. Especially with the Citizens expected to beat an out-of-form Spurs side later that evening. Step into the breach Thiago Alcantara... The Spaniard arrived...

The Curious Case of James Milner

In the past few days, we have seen reports of James Milner signing a new one-year contract at Liverpool Football Club. At 36 years of age, he has become a trusted lieutenant to reds boss Jürgen Klopp, within his elite group of players. The minutes have diminished, the ability has been on the wane...

Observations: Liverpool 3-1 Norwich – What a difference a day makes

Liverpool came into the match safely in the top four, in the thick of three cup competitions and barely in the chase for the Premier League title.

How do the Reds win the Premier League after City slip?

If a week is a long time in football, then it is an eternity in the Premier League. Just ask Liverpool and even Manchester City fans, for that matter, after the Reds entered the week of their game against Norwich City potentially having to come to terms with a nine-point gap being opened up...

Liverpool 3-1 Norwich City – Player Ratings as Reds come from behind to win

It wasn't the stroll many thought that it would be, but Liverpool continued their winning ways, with a 3-1 victory over Norwich City. After a goalless first half, Milot Rashica's shot deflected cruelly off Joel Matip to give the visitors the lead. Jurgen Klopp had to respond, and he did with a double change introducing...

Post-Match RAW: Controlled Victory At The San Siro

It is always going to be difficult travelling to Italy in a knockout Champions League, even more soo when you facing the reigning Serie A holders Inter Milan, a side who rarely lose at home in Europe. They may not be as strong as they were last season under Conte after selling their best...

The Value Of Squad Depth

I recall watching so many Rafa Benitez games when he was the Liverpool manager. The side would often times be very good, with enough elite players to make them a force within the Premier League and Europe. Despite the obvious Istanbul delight, that period is often tinged with what if’s and regrets, as to...

Molby on the Spot: Optimistic Future, Gale Force Winds & Henderson’s Worrying Form

Jan Molby was back with a podcast - hosted by Trev Downey - that included two matches, two wins and plenty to talk about.

Observations on Inter Milan-Liverpool

Liverpool experienced some turbulent times in the early part of the season due to unfortunate injuries and missed opportunities in the league that put them in a tough spot looking up at City in first place, but the Champions League was quite the bright spot in the Reds’ season to date. Jurgen’s boys took...

Inter Milan 0 – 2 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

Inter Milan 0 - 2 Liverpool - The Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 7.5 The worlds finest stopper, but it was the bar that saved him on 17 mins.

Post-Match RAW: Superb Set Pieces & Sean Dyche’s Face

During an incredibly busy period for the Reds, following the victory at home to Leicester, they had to travel to Turf Moor and play Sean Dyche's bottom-of-table Burnley.

The Henderson Dilemma

There was much annoyance in not replacing of Gini Wijnaldum this past summer. Yet as the season enters its final few months, the main worry is that of Liverpool captain, Jordan Henderson.

Torrential rain, galeforce wind - the conditions and the arena almost demanded an ugly win, and that's what Liverpool provided.

Line-up Porn

It’s rare that a line-up is the most exciting thing in a match. It’s especially unique when the result is 2-0 for the good guys. Yet on this night, with the addition of one Luiz Diaz, the subtraction of Jordan Henderson, the return of Mo Salah from AFCON and the resurrection of Harvey Elliot...

Liverpool 2 – 0 Leicester – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.5 Back after international duty, and a good stop early on from Maddison. Was fairly routine after that till the break.
