Leicester 3-1 Liverpool: Player ratings as fragile Reds unravel

Mohamed Salah's glorious finish following Roberto Firmino's ingenious assist had set Liverpool on course for an impressive and important victory. But then they imploded in gut-wrenching fashion. It's a defeat that both reflects and deepens the profound crisis of confidence in the defending champions' ranks. They are in freefall, their season growing inconceivably more wretched...

Luckless Liverpool Fall To Leicester Defeat

Liverpool took a heavy blow to their top-four qualification prospects with a 3-1 defeat to Leicester City at The Kingpower Stadium. Things were appearing to go swimmingly for the Reds when Mohamed Salah gave them a merited lead in the middle of the second half after a brilliant Roberto Firmino assist. However, as has constantly been...

Anfield auditions for Kabak and Davies must start now for move to make sense

Another day, another injury concern. It all feels a bit like groundhog day for Liverpool and seeing players on the treatment table this season. Jurgen Klopp today announced that Fabinho will be sidelined for the upcoming trip to Leicester with a small muscle issue. This leaves Liverpool with none of their 'recognised' centre back options from...

Will this be Liverpool’s starting lineup to play Leicester City on Saturday?

Liverpool travel to play Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday. What starting eleven will Jürgen Klopp select for this crucial clash in The Reds' battle for a top-four finish? Klopp will be without six players as he has been for much of the season - in fact, the injury-list has normally consisted of...

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

Excuse: a reason or explanation given to justify a fault or offence. For some bizarre reason, excuses are viewed as negatives these days. I don’t quite understand why given, per the definition, it is a justification as to why something has happened. Obviously, these truths can be embellished and this might why people seem to...

Harvey Barnes: A Potential Liverpool Midfield Star

Alex Oxlade Chamberlain has endured a frustrating season with Liverpool. The English midfielder has missed 20 games so far with a knee injury that sidelined him from late August until December. And when the 27-year-old has played he has, understandably, looked short of rhythm and has -- aside from a beautifully executed back heel that allowed...

Liverpool linked with a summer move for Leeds star

Leeds' Raphinha has lit the Premier League on fire since his move to Elland Road in October with Liverpool now rumoured to be interested in signing the exciting forward. Raphinha is a left-footed attacker who plays mainly on the right side of the front line as an inverted winger, much like Mohamed Salah. He signed for...

Leicester City vs Liverpool Preview – Reds must gather themselves and prepare for top-four race

THE DETAILS Venue – King Power Stadium, Leicester Referee – Anthony Taylor Date & Time – Saturday, February 13th @ 12:30 Current Odds – Leicester 13/5, Draw 13/5, Liverpool 1/1 ________________________________________________________ Liverpool must bounce back from last Sunday's Manchester City defeat. The Reds have to remember that they were looking the more likely to win that game with the score balanced...

Sadio Mane’s struggles compound Liverpool’s current misery

Liverpool's Premier League titles are all but over - I think even the most optimistic Reds supporter has accepted that by now. Last weekend's sobering 4-1 loss at the hands of Man City was the moment it became clear that the title would not be heading to Anfield in May, much like last season's win...

Reds reported to be tracking progress of Sporting Lisbon playmaker

Liverpool are rumoured to be tracking the progress of Sporting Lisbon star Pedro Gonçalves with the view to a possible move in the future. According to Portuguese publication, Record, The Reds are interested in bringing the 22-year-old playmaker to Anfield as Liverpool plan a potentially busy summer in the transfer market. Gonçalves has scored 14 goals...

Set Piece Toothlessness Hindering Liverpool After Defensive Injury Nightmare

Liverpool's defensive injury crisis has hindered them in so many ways this season. Losing Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Joel Matip has obviously hamstrung the defending champions in defence, not that you would necessarily know it from the goals conceded column. The break glass in case of emergency defenders -- Fabinho and Jordan Henderson --...

Ozan Kabak: More Joel Matip than Dejan Lovren

Ozan Kabak shares a number of similarities with Dejan Lovren. He also has traits that are comparable to Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk. It’s be expected though, given Liverpool have a clear profile when it comes to defenders.  I realise it is difficult to do, but if you look past Lovren’s erratic moments, his...

Klopp defends Alisson after Manchester City nightmare for goalkeeper

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp says that Alisson Becker will learn from his off-day against Manchester City and labels him a "world-class" goalkeeper. Alisson made two uncharacteristic errors to help Manchester City on their way to a 4-1 win at Anfield on Sunday. Speaking after the game, Klopp discussed the mistakes and was quick to remind everyone...

Why Liverpool Shouldn’t Sign Rodrigo De Paul

Liverpool have been linked to innumerable players throughout the course of the transfer window. The spotlight of speculation has mostly focused on the defensive compartment after the serious injuries to both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez. The uncertainty over Georginio Wijnaldum's future, however, has lead to several midfielders being linked to the Reds. Among the...

The importance of shot variance

It feels like an eternity ago now, but it hasn’t even been a month since Liverpool hit seven past Crystal Palace. The Premier League champions looked rampant at Selhurst Park. Previously, the Reds have racked up a 3-0 lead and taken their foot off the pedal, but against Roy Hodgson’s side, it was different....

Henderson says Reds must get City defeat out of their system before facing Leicester

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson believes his squad must use the coming week to get the Manchester City defeat out of their system. Jürgen Klopp's Reds lost 4-1 to Manchester City on Sunday, making it three consecutive Anfield defeats, after going almost four years without losing a home game in the league before that. Henderson insists that...

Liverpool Limp To Home Defeat To Manchester City

Liverpool made it three consecutive home Premier League defeats with a 4-1 reversal to Manchester City Anfield. A brace from Ilkay Gundogan -- who also missed a penalty -- and strikes from Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden sealed the win for City, while Mohamed Salah's penalty only counted as a consolation in the end. The Reds...

Tactical Breakdown: Liverpool 0-1 Brighton

Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool lost 1-0 to Brighton at Anfield to leave their ambitions to retain the Premier League title in tatters. They were without both Alisson and Sadio Mané, compounding the tactical issues that long-term injuries to Van Dijk, Gomez, Matip, Keïta and Jota have caused. Systems Liverpool set up in their usual 4-3-3, but with...

Has Jurgen Klopp been found out?

No. Thanks for reading.  In all seriousness, I’m not sure how anyone can come to that conclusion. Yes, Liverpool have lost twice in quick succession, and fortress Anfield has been ransacked. But it’s a massive stretch to watch those games and your first thought to be that Klopp has been found out. Yet that’s exactly...

Can we really criticise freakishly unlucky Liverpool?

Sour grapes. That's what any rival supporter will tell you. But it's not, is it? Liverpool started the season as reigning Premier League and world champions, as well as recently dethroned Champions League winners, looking primed for another dominant campaign. No key players departed, those below them in the table didn't look remotely scary and silverware...

Will this be Liverpool’s lineup to face Manchester City on Sunday?

Liverpool and Manchester City meet at Anfield this Sunday. The Reds have lost their last two home games in the league and will be eager to get back to winning ways on their home turf. Jürgen Klopp and his men know that the visitors are now the hot favourites to win this season's Premier League...

Liverpool vs Manchester City Preview – Reds do battle to keep failing title hopes alive

THE DETAILS Venue – Anfield, Liverpool Referee – Michael Oliver Date & Time – Sunday, February 7th @ 16:30 Current Odds – Liverpool 12/5, Draw 11/4, Manchester City 21/20 ________________________________________________________ This game has grown in stature in recent years as Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool and Pep Guardiola's Manchester City established themselves as the two main powerhouses in the Premier League. The...

The end of the line for Joel Matip?

Since Jurgen Klopp stepped in as Liverpool boss the sparkle that often surrounded deadline day has disappeared, and for the main part this is a good thing. This season has been one like no other, the squad has been hugely depleted in every position. Particularly at centre back where Fabinho and Jordan Henderson have been...

Tactical Breakdown: West Ham 1-3 Liverpool

Liverpool travelled to the London Stadium buoyed by a brilliant performance against Spurs. However, David Moyes' West Ham side have proven this season they can vie with the best, and hope to challenge for European qualification at the end of the season. West Ham lined up in a 4-2-3-1 shape. Michail Antonio led the line,...

“We have to change that” – Klopp knows Liverpool have much work to do

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp believes Liverpool looked mentally fatigued as they lost 1-0 to Brighton on Wednesday night. A scrappy goal from Steven Alzate was enough to give Brighton a deserved victory at Anfield as Liverpool fell to their second successive home defeat in the league. At his post-match press conference, Klopp was asked if he...

Liverpool signing Ben Davies appears well-suited to “quarterback” role

After days of nothingness mainly made up of endless scrolling through Liverpool Twitter (presumably), Michael Edwards was evidently moved enough by fans’ pleas to leap into action with deadline day looming. With fears the team’s season was slipping further away with every new injury at the back and its knock-on effects through the rest...

Time and Money: Reminder from Michael Edwards

Benjamin Franklin said time is money in 1748. In 2021, there’s no-one more acutely aware than FSG and crucially Michael Edwards. The transfer window opened on 1st January, but it’s been clear for some time of Liverpool’s needs in defence. However, the exact needs only became abundantly clear to everyone late last night. In...

Liverpool Lose At Anfield Again as Seagulls Score

Liverpool made it consecutive home Premier League defeats with a 1-0 defeat to Brighton. Steven Alzate's second-half strike gave the visitors all three points as the toothless Reds managed only one shot on target as their Anfield goal drought continued. The Reds' -- whose injury woes continued with the loss of both Sadio Mane and Alisson...

Will this be Liverpool’s starting lineup to face Brighton tonight?

Liverpool play Brighton tonight in the Premier League. With an eventful transfer deadline day now behind them, what will Jürgen Klopp's starting lineup be? Liverpool won 3-1 at West Ham on Sunday to make it two wins in a row for the Premier League champions. The Reds then brought in two centre-halves on transfer deadline day...

Have Liverpool Players Really Gone From Heroes to Zeroes?

The short answer to this question is no. A team that has the quality of Liverpool does not suddenly drop from the dizzying heights of Premier League success to nowhere in the space of a few short months. However, there is obviously definite cause for concern for everyone at the club and for loyal...
