Bellingham Blow-Up: Hold….For Now…

For anyone familiar with tune, the Boomtown Rats had it right when news comes through in the morning like it does. If you’d believed that the international break would be a quiet and calmer period after all the turbulence of the current campaign, David Ornstein did his best to dispel that myth with his...

Scouting Report: Mason Mount

Ahead of the summer window, we’re bringing back the Scouting Report series and this is the one that just won’t seem to go away. There was an expectation that Mason Mount would have renewed his contract with Chelsea by now, but for whatever reason that hasn’t happened. The links to Liverpool continue on a...

Could Enzo Le Fée Become the Thiago Understudy?

I’ve always loved the idea of senior and highly established players mentoring young talents. This season, we have heard that Stefan Bajčetić has been taken under the wing of his fellow Spaniard, Thiago Alcantara. Our number six is one of the world’s finest central midfielders, therefore it is heartening to hear that he is...

Hopes For The International Break

There’s more than a few reds who would happily just end the season this second if it was offered to them right now. Out of the Champions League at the last 16, suffering from an injury-plagued campaign and with the top four looking an outside hope rather than expectation. April starts with two tough...

Trent Alexander-Arnold: Nothing more than a blip

When we look back on this horrible, instantly forgettable season in years to come, every Liverpool fan will have their own choice as the Reds' worst player. There is a depressingly long list to choose from, from the past-their-best Fabinho and Jordan Henderson to the out-of-sorts Joel Matip and Joe Gomez, with only Alisson really...

Tony Evans’ Column: Klopp Needs To Start Inspiring The Players Again

What’s worse than an international break? An international break that’s overshadowed by a sense of crisis. Bournemouth. Madrid. Neither performance was good enough, neither was acceptable. Jurgen Klopp’s demeanour in the Bernabeu afterwards was worrying. He is a bad loser but that didn’t show. You can moan all you like about FSG – and, yes, the...

Lessons Learned Versus Real Madrid

Out of the Champions League at the last 16 stage with barely a whimper. Truth be told, it wasn’t too much of a contest in the Bernabau as Real Madrid won 1-0 on the night and 6-2 on aggregate. Liverpool fans have a long time to process this one as their next game isn’t...

Real Madrid 1 – 0 Liverpool – CL Player of the Match (6-2 agg)

 Alisson Becker   Sensational, unmatched, irresistible, irreplaceable, and devastatingly world class.   The first half was a masterful display by the huge Brazilian, as he kept the reds clinging to the tie, with some outrageous saves.   With a long range effort tipped over, a short range effort thwarted, a one on one brilliantly smothered, and a number of efforts...

Real Madrid 1 – 0 Liverpool – CL Player Ratings (6-2 agg)

Alisson Becker - 9.0 A simply emphatic first half display, with number of world class stops that kept the reds in the tie. The second half saw him continue to show his world class credentials, with one marvellous one on one stope from Valverde. He could nothing for the opening goal, which ended a tie...

Could Marcus Edwards Be the Perfect Backup Signing?

I’ve been looking at various players that Liverpool could look to recruit this summer, and more recently, those could replace the role of Diogo Jota within the squad. If reports are to be believed, Newcastle are currently hovering over the Portuguese forward, and it would not be absurd to see us cash in on...

It’s Time To Dismantle The Galactico Empire Klopp Has Helped To Create

The motivation to continually overcome any and all adversaries must be difficult, especially when the highest of highs have previously been attained. I would imagine it’s fairly easy to raise one’s level when Manchester United are rolling into town, yet a windy lunch time in Bournemouth is perhaps a stretch too far for some....

The History of Liverpool FC

Liverpool are one of the most famous and successful teams in the history of English football. The club was founded in 1892, and since then it has become one of the most recognised brands in the world. The first years of the club were not easy. Liverpool played at a low level, and in the...

Real Madrid v Liverpool – The CL Preview (5-2 from 1st leg)

My supporting naivety led me to predict a 3-1 home win in the first leg. The early stages had me nodding at my footballing wisdom, until Real Madrid found out just how bad the Reds can be. All teams can have moments of desire and periods of good fortune, but class will often prevail....

Bournemouth 1 – 0 Liverpool – The Post-Mortem

What an unbelievable crash back down to earth, after the historic 7-0 win against Manchester United, last Sunday. After taking apart one of the nation’s best sides, it was always a concern as to which Liverpool team (psychologically) would turn up this past weekend. A lunch time kick off, away to a side that...

Away Form: Mentality is Monstrous

Trent Alexander-Arnold didn’t sugarcoat it in anyway when asked afterwards about Liverpool’s abject performance against Bournemouth. “Every team in the league is fighting for something so it means a lot to get the three points and I think looking back on it now, they probably wanted it more than us and that is something...

Which Fringe Players To Be Loaned, Sold or Retained?

Each footballer’s pathway requires a specific and unique approach when starting out at any elite club. So many young prodigies and supposed generational talents will always emerge, yet can be lost within the shuffle of upper tier entities. With the need for success now so desperate, we are witnessing managers come and go, as...

Lessons Learned: Bournemouth

Ahhhh the famous false dawn ... we wondered where you’d got too. Football can change so quickly and after last weekend's unbridled joy, Saturdays early kick-off at the Vitality provided ultimate sorrow. Liverpool lost to bottom of the table Bournemouth 1-0 and truth be told they could have played for another 90 minutes and...

5 Challenging Opponents for Liverpool FC to Watch Out For this 2023

Bournemouth 1 – 0 Liverpool – PL Player Ratings

Bournemouth 1 - 0 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 6.0 A steady first half, which saw him repel an advancing counter attack wide, before being let down for the opening goal.

How to Reintroduce Luis Díaz into the Reds Team

How to Reintroduce Luis Díaz into the Reds Team   In the aftermath of the Manchester United demolition, much has been made of the new-look strike force that were able to supply six of the seven goals scored.

Tony Evans: You’re The Luckiest Generation of Liverpool Fans, Ever

Sometimes, in the cacophony of cryarsing that surrounds football, you forget what makes the game great. It should be fun but some people make supporting a club seem like hard labour. And then Liverpool spank Manchester United 7-0. It was an experience of pure, uplifting joy. I’ve always thought that I came from the luckiest generation....

Luka Sučić & The Need for New Blood

It’s no surprise to see another player being linked that has been through the corridors of either RB Salzburg or Leipzig’s footballing machine. Despite having a recruiting model that was once so fruitful, our ability to regenerate our tired empire sees us once more looking towards their own roster of players. It’s clear that...

Could Diogo Jota Become the Odd Man Out?

A few reports surfaced on Wednesday that had Newcastle perhaps interested in making an offer for Liverpool forward, Diogo Jota. The Magpies are looking to accelerate the growth of their footballing enterprise, making some very good acquisitions since their change in ownership. Eddie Howe has invested well thus far, with a clear intention to...

Liverpool Midfield: Two Steps Forward …

As one scroll of social media would have told you, not too different for most weeks truth be told, there was a real nervousness around the midfield that Jurgen Klopp had selected. There wasn’t too...

Fighting Front Three From Five: Bring It On

It still seems almost crazy when you think back to Sunday’s events. Seven goals and more importantly four of Liverpool’s senior forwards found themselves on the scoresheet. With Bobby Firmino’s departure being announced this week, a lot of the reminiscing has quite rightly been about the original front three and how Mo Salah will...

Goodbye, Bobby: The poster boy of the Jurgen Klopp era

So, the Roberto Firmino era at Liverpool is coming to an end. Yep, I'm in floods of tears, too. Last week, the Reds' brilliant Brazilian announced that he wouldn't be signing a new deal at Anfield this summer, with the news met with much sadness by many. Firmino's world-class talents may have waned since the title-winning...
