What does Steven Gerrard have to do with Aston Villa to get the Liverpool job?

That seems to be the question everyone has been asking since his appointment at Villa Park.  Some of the expectations being placed on him are over the top. People want him doing well with Villa in Europe, they want him pushing for the top six, doing well in domestic cups and taking scalps in the...

The Player Ratings: Liverpool 4 – 0 Arsenal

Alisson Becker - 7.5 Mistakes will come now and again, but the world's best stopper showed a commanding presence in a routine display. Trent Alexander Arnold - 9.5 Sensational. The teams primary playmaker is transcending the fullback position. Any manager in world football (club football anyway) would have this man over any other, and his domination of...

What should Liverpool do with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain?

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain really found his groove as a midfielder for Liverpool during the 2017/18 campaign. He was a whirlwind in the middle third and he seemed to thrive in the chaos created by Jurgen Klopp’s ultra-aggressive system.  If you think back to the games against Manchester City, he was the wildcard. Pep Guardiola loves to...

The Reds’ Midfield Going Forward

Standards have now become so high that any dropped points can lead to dismay within the Liverpool fanbase. After a draw at home to Brighton, and a loss to West Ham, Liverpool head into this weekend with a clear need to improve. The international window has (as always) brought back an array of injury concerns....

Assessing Andy Robertson’s 2021/22 Form

Andy Robertson's place in Liverpool's starting line-up is under intense scrutiny. Over the past few weeks, maybe even the past couple of months, the calls for Kostas Tsimikas to replace him have grown progressively louder. Before the season began, I'd argue that the only position up for debate in Liverpool's strongest XI was centre-forward, but...

Liverpool’s Route To Fantasy Football

The want of any football fan is their team to be winning. The added fantasy scenario attached to that dream, is often too far fetched to comprehend. Yet in the modern game, fantasy football may not be that far away for Liverpool Football Club. With Newcastle set to embark on a new era, they join...

Loan Watch: How are Liverpool Players Getting on in the Championship?

The Championship has been a great league for developing Liverpool players in recent years, whilst simultaneously improving the teams they are loaned to. As the arrangement has been beneficial for both Liverpool and Championship clubs in the past, it’s no surprise to see Reds players on loan in the Championship in the 21/22 season. Ben...

The New Sporting Director

Any new role undertaken at a sporting team (let alone a major club like Liverpool FC), brings a certain amount a risk, especially when the role was previously engineered with brilliance. FSG have made some high profile mistakes along the way, yet the overall structure of the club is now one to be admired. As...

My Greatest Liverpool Match

I was born on 12/11/81, so have been fortunate enough to witness some truly magnificent games as a Liverpool fan. The opinions and preferences are far reaching, and the glorious fact is that Liverpool FC continues to offer brilliance as a football club. To look at singular games, I can easily think of marvellous matchups...

How To Approach The Transfer Window

As the next international window begins, more and more players will be heading off to represent their specific countries. The amount of players that will be returning in a state of good fitness, is as ever, unpredictable. Liverpool have undertaken this first stage of the season with as many questions as answers. Some games and...

West Ham 3 – 2 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

West Ham 3 - 2 Liverpool - The Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 5.0 A poor game by this mans standards, couldn’t deal with the physical nature within the box and wasn’t commanding at all. These games will happen, but he’s world class and can’t be elite every game. Trent Alexander Arnold - 6.5 A tough game overall,...

The Most Outstanding Liverpool Players in Club History

Doubtlessly, Liverpool FC is one of the most successful football clubs. The Reds have a ton of awards. It has a rich history that implies a lot of remarkable events. Not all of them helped the team achieve success in the international arena. However, it's an unarguable fact that Liverpool FC is a club...

Steven Gerrard & The Ballon d’Or

With Liverpool now fielding a rotating cast of midfielders, it’s going raise the subject once more as to who Liverpool may sign in the next window. The reality is that no midfielder will probably arrive until next summer, when James Milner is poised to leave the club. There are certain avenues that can be...

Using Liverpool’s Best in the Fantasy Premier League

Liverpool currently lies second in the Premier League table. Jürgen Klopp’s Reds are three points behind Chelsea and two ahead of Manchester City who are third. They have scored 29 goals in their opening 10 league games, an average of almost three goals per game. That is a hugely impressive tally from a sample...

Liverpool 2 – 0 Atletico Madrid – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.0 I hope he enjoyed the show. The disallowed goal was one of his few moments in a quiet game. Trent Alexander Arnold - 9.5 The best right back in world football continues to show his amazing talent and outrageous delivery. Two assists and a brilliant setting of game tempo in the first half,...

Time To Welcome Simeone

Diego Simeone is one of the world's most important and impressive managers. His tenure as Atletico Madrid boss is simply sensational, and his want to win is perhaps unmatched in world football. If Liverpool are to remain relevant on the European stage, they must accept and relish this Argentinian as an enemy to overcome,...

Liverpool FC in the Football World

Liverpool FC is one of the most renowned football clubs that have made British football famous worldwide. Fans are well aware of all the titles the team has won since 1892. However, it's worth noting that Liverpool FC has experienced ups and downs but never stopped and was always looking for new trophies. Here...

A Jekyll and Hyde Midfield

I have written more about Gini Wijnaldum this season than last. His off ball intelligence was so understated, he could glide through games merely taking up good positions, and aiding the system with pure intelligence. His ability to help shield a solid defence, made that defence one of the best in Europe, and his...

Liverpool Have Looked Great, But Not Like Champions Yet

Before the season started, I predicted that Liverpool would finish in third behind Manchester City and Chelsea. It was clear that, with our first-team centre-backs fit again and the structure of the team restored as a result, we'd compete for the title, but I did think we'd ultimately fall short. Ten Premier League games into...

Liverpool vs Brighton – Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.5 So dominant and was once again important to his team. The first goal was pin point precision in it’s trajectory, and would’ve been tough to stop even if not lost in the sun. Trent Alexander Arnold - 6.0 An unsure performance. A new inside centre back (Konate) and the ever revolving midfield...

Liverpool’s Joe Gomez conundrum

The centre-back situation  Last season, Liverpool had no centre-backs. Now, the Reds allegedly have too many.  According to a report, albeit not the most reliable ones, Joe Gomez isn’t happy with his situation at Anfield. The 24-year-old is yet to start in the Premier League this term and the majority of his minutes have arrived in...

How Liverpool’s Odds Changed Throughout That Night In Istanbul 2005

How Liverpool Defied the Odds in the 2005 Champions League Final Britons are avid bettors, whether it’s in the form of sports betting or at the casino, as our list of recent UK winners highlights. But when it comes to substantial sports payouts one of the most iconic instances happened in 2005, in Istanbul. The Value...

Liverpool’s Momentum Is Key

The season rolls on, and Liverpool are yet to taste defeat in any competition thus far. A quarter final place in the League Cup, a top place position in their Champions League group, and a second place berth in the Premier League represents a superb start to the season. With a home game against Brighton...

We need to talk about Divock Origi

How does Divock Origi do it?  If you piece together a highlight reel made up of all of his best moments, he’d look like one of the best players ever to put on a Liverpool shirt. There are world-class finishes amongst memorable moments that will never be forgotten.  His goal against Preston was outrageous, yet somehow...

Joe Gomez – Patience Is A Virtue

What a difference a few months make. The majority of last season saw Liverpool’s central defenders fall away, in an horrific series of season ending injuries. Once Dejan Lovren and Ki-Jana Hoever were sold last summer, it was predictable that the failure to recruit, in defence, would come back to bite the reds. That...

How To Approach The Cups

Domestic cup wins are a glorious building block for success, though only if your team is blessed with a squad to cope. We have seen Manchester City consistently able to achieve cup wins (in recent years), whilst maintaining both strong League and European campaigns. The issue is never the desire to lose in the...

Naby Keïta – Imagine The Levels

Steven Gerrard is perhaps the greatest number 8 in Liverpool’s history. This week or next I’ll be taking a look at how this footballing colossus would have translated under a Jürgen Klopp regime. It is something that would have been a joy to behold, and the attacking force of nature would be almost unplayable...

Manchester United 0 – 5 Liverpool – Player Ratings

Manchester United 0 - 5 Liverpool - Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 7.5 Probably needed the rest, would have enjoyed what he saw ahead of him. Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.5 Strode around the park with authority and a real swagger. He was able to control tempo and orchestrate both attacking, and possession based patterns of play. Andy Robertson...

How Will Klopp & Ole Approach Sunday’s Game

Whether or not Sunday’s game versus Manchester United is still viewed as Liverpool’s biggest game can be debated. Manchester City, from across the way, are now light years away (of United) in terms of the football, and it is Pep’s side which must now be overcome in order to mount a valid title challenge....

The Secrets of Liverpool FC Players: How Do They Manage to Be at the Top of the Premier League Table?

Liverpool is one of the most successful football teams. Consequently, many people are curious about their secret that helps them be at the top of the Premier League table. Note, there is no secret action that should be performed to lead a team to success. Instead, it is combined by batching the main goal...
