Curtis Jones: Hard to picture a last-chance saloon

Certain Liverpool players will always polarise fans. That’s been true for decades and even those with great CV’s like Ronnie Whelan have felt the sting at some points. In the current side there are many candidates but based on Saturday's defeat to Forest, Curtis Jones’ surprising start shot him straight to the forefront. Many...

Liverpool v Leeds – The Premier League Preview

Saturday night will see two historical English sides collide, in what is certain to be an entertaining evening of football. I’ve just had a look at the TV listings (I don’t really watch TV), and if you’re looking to avoid the horrid choice of The Voice or Strictly Come Dancing, then a night under...

All Aboard the Nunez Rollercoaster…

Whatever the opinions… and there are many… it’s impossible to deny Darwin Nunez is a compelling watch. Box office by all accounts. The Uruguayan has been ridiculed by many as a source of enjoyment, with snippets or clips of his performances leading to sweeping judgements and damnation of his ability to play at this...

Fábio Carvalho – The Kid Isn’t Ready Yet

The long process in finally signing young Fábio Carvalho came to a close in the summer, with the Fulham target finally making the move to Merseyside. When he arrived, he was to be the understudy in a couple of positions, with senior and established operators ahead of him. When he did finally arrive, Liverpool...

Fabinho: The Conversation that’s Getting Harder to Ignore

Sometimes problems can stare you in the face no matter how much you may want to ignore them. There’s been plenty of examples this season for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool. As the weeks and games go by, it’s becoming increasingly impossible to bury any concerns Reds may have around Fabinho. Too many games have...

Tony Evans: The Henderson Haters Will Never Go Away

Jordan Henderson has a new autobiography out. It will make for interesting reading. Henderson is the most misunderstood and maligned player of the FSG era. He was bought for a position where he was rarely used. Kenny Dalglish envisioned him and Stewart Downing pinging crosses in for Andy Carroll but it never happened. Why? Luis...

Why Liverpool Aren’t Signing Jude Bellingham

Erling Haaland Kylian Mbappe Diego Costa David Silva Yevhen Konoplyanka Sergio Aguero Bruno Fernandes Matteus Nunes Saul Niguez Aurélien Tchouaméni Timo Werner The above listed players represents an extended list of Liverpool targets, that never actually signed for the Merseyside club. This is purely a list off the top my head and would’ve been based around social media speculation, back-page transfer news, and...

Liverpool can sign Jude Bellingham… if top-four finish allows them to

The summer transfer window was rightly dominated by talk of Liverpool signing a new central midfielder, with their inability to do so proving to be unacceptable. We're not counting Arthur, because I'm not even sure he's a real person at this point! Aurelien Tchouameni emerged as a genuine target but opted to join Real Madrid, and...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool

Another week, another poor Liverpool performance. How has this team fallen so far? From chasing an unprecedented quadruple to losing to the team who entered and ended the weekend bottom of the league. Liverpool lost four matches in all of last season. Four defeats in 63 games. This season couldn't be more different. In...

By the Numbers: Robertson vs Tsimikas

Little did we know an Alberto Moreno ankle injury during a 7-0 win over Spartak Moscow would turn out to be the best thing to ever happen to Liverpool's left flank. Moreno's ankle injury made way for ex-Hull City man Andrew Robertson, who quickly impressed, and continued impressing, and eventually just took Moreno's job...

The three Liverpool players who can benefit from not going to the World Cup

This is a season like no other - a World Cup is disrupting the normal flow of the league and it is still hard to know how this will affect the teams going forward. Essentially, we are being given two mini-seasons with a 5-week winter break separating them. Depending on what perspective you are looking at...

Ajax 0 – 3 Liverpool – CL Man of the Match

Andrew Robertson Playing in a new 4-4-2 diamond shape, Robertson had the entire left wing to himself in Amsterdam, and he did well at both ends of the pitch, covering against some dangerous Ajax attacks, and providing energy and forward momentum offensively. His assist for Nunez's goal was a superbly taken corner. Despite the struggles of...

Ajax 0 – 3 Liverpool – Champions League Player Ratings

Starting XI Alisson Becker - 7.0 Started well, could do little but cover his angles as the ball struck the post in the opening moments, and looked steady enough through the opening stages. Was mostly untested as the reds took control through the second half. Trent Alexander Arnold- 7.0 Back in as a starter, he looked unsure on...

Julian Ward & His Must-Win Transfer Window

When Michael Edwards handed in his notice last year, I immediately saw it as an elite Sporting Director not being backed by his ownership. For any structurally organised sporting entity, success must be garnered a Ross all levels for the on field situations to succeed. Michael Edwards became a wizard of both buying and...

Ajax v Liverpool – The Champions League Preview

Liverpool come into this game needing a point to qualify for the next phase of the Champions League. Both wins against Rangers were as expected, but it was the Reds' home win against Ajax which has allowed them a chance to qualify with a game to spare. Napoli are one of the form teams...

Can Jurgen Klopp Recover From This Slump

When Jurgen Klopp joined Liverpool, I think it was only he and Carlo Ancelotti that were in the running for the Anfield hot seat. In appointing the big German, we made the absolute right call, and his talents suited our needs perfectly. A fallen giant needed massive overhaul, and the playing staff needed a...

Gradually, then suddenly…

“How did you go bankrupt?" Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.” Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises, 1926. As with bankruptcy so with football. So with Liverpool. This season feels “suddenly”. It feels all at once. It feels unexpected. This team just four months ago were very close to a quadruple. They then deservedly won the Community Shield in what...

Liverpool Loan Watch – Weekend Performances

Tyler Morton Morton and Blackburn had a very winnable game against 15th spot Birmingham, with Harvey Elliott in the crowd to cheer on his teammate. Blackburn picked up a 2-1 win, and Morton played fairly well, continuing his trend of good performances. Morton registered an assist, a fairly nice cross that Sam Gallagher tapped in...

It’s Time To See Mo & Darwin As A Pair

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,...

Fabinho & A Lack Of Midfield Support

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...

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Liverpool: What Went 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...

Nottingham Forest 1 – 0 Liverpool – PL Player Ratings

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...

Joe Gomez – An Anfield Career Reborn

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...

Nottingham Forest v Liverpool – The Preview

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...

Making Trent Into A Modern Day David Beckham

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...

Tony Evans: Why Liverpool’s rivals are on a path to self-destruction

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

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...

Liverpool 1 – 0 West Ham – PL Player Ratings

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,...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly From Liverpool vs Manchester City

It only took until the ninth Premier League game of the season but Liverpool appeared to finally wake up and realise that pre-season ended months ago and the season was underway. Having begun the weekend in 11th position, and dropped to 12th after results before their game kicked off, Liverpool found themselves in the...

How Liverpool can make a drastic improvement this season

To put it mildly, Liverpool's season 2022–2023 campaign got off to a rocky start. The team's first six Premier League games in England resulted in nine points. The Merseyside club's predicament was also made worse by the 4-1 thrashing they suffered in the UEFA Champions League match against Napoli of Italy. It is questionable...
