Official Liverpool Supporters Club: Review of The Year 2022

2022 was some year for Reds all around the world! Some incredible highs punctuated by heartbreaking lows and it doesn’t look like the drama shows any signs of subsiding this year either. We spoke to Official Liverpool Supporters Clubs (OLSC’s) in Baltimore, Kolhapur and Edinburgh for their thoughts…. Q: What’s been your personal highlight of...

If Joyce is Right, Change Needed to Keep It Tight

For all the questions that Jurgen Klopp answers at the press conferences from reporters or articles from patch journalists, there appears no way of stopping some Reds reacting to every word written or uttered. None more than the ever reliable Paul Joyce of The Times, whose most recent report stated that Liverpool’s business is...

Why I Believe We Will Sign Moisés Caicedo, Just Not Yet…

With the January transfer window now officially open, the country’s football supporting fraternity waits for their respective teams to spend their money. Sports journalism will be rife for the next month, with rumour, speculation, and a willingness to write about anything that may happen. That is exactly what I’m going to be doing right now,...

Lessons Learned: Brentford

Where to even start with this one. A hard watch for all Reds against Brentford, as Liverpool were outfought, outrun and came away with what they deserved from the Gtech Community stadium. The outcry on social media was vast and no-one escaped, all the way from the manager to the owners. Liverpool’s season appears...

The Leaving of Liverpool – Decision Time For FSG

2023 is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal years in the history of Liverpool Football Club. Decisions that need to be made will alter the course of its history for a long time to come. Key amongst them is a choice FSG need to make- stay or go. For me, it's...

Harvey Elliott: Careful Management Key For All

Very few players obtained pass marks against Leicester City, maybe a handful at best. For all the scrutiny that quite rightly came the way of senior players such as Jordan Henderson, it was another player in Liverpool's midfield who roused a few murmurings from the sidelines and Reds watching at home. Harvey Elliott's talent...

Brentford 3 – 1 Liverpool – Premier League Player Ratings

Brentford 3 - 1 Liverpool - Premier League Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 6.0 Made a super one on save in the early stages, only to see an own goal slip past him with the resulting corner. So unlucky with the second goal, with his team continuing to let him down. Was let down again for...

Brentford v Liverpool – The PL Preview

With two victories and one game to go, the Christmas and New Year’s Premier League fixture list has started very well for the Reds. After a decent Boxing Day trip to Villa Park, Jurgen Klopp followed that up with a home win against Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City. Though that 2-1 victory came with some...

Lessons Learned: Leicester City (H) 2-1

It’s wasn’t very pretty eh? But at this time of the year, the classic statement prevails: three points is three points. There was plenty to analyse in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Leicester City and not all of it was good. Pass marks for some, performance lacking for others and the likes of Fabinho (congratulations...

Liverpool 2 – 1 Leicester – PL Post-Mortem

Liverpool 2 - 1 Leicester - PL Post-Mortem With maximum points garnered from the reds two last games, the Premier League restart has at least brought that positive with it. In essence, all Liverpool fans would have taken that outcome by any means possible, but the underlying fact is that this team is scrambling to...

How to Prepare for a European Reds Away Trip

Liverpool has already experienced many European away fixtures this season in the UEFA Champions League, but more is to come in the knockout stage. The Reds began poorly with a heavy defeat in Naples before reacting with a dominant victory at home to Ajax before back-to-back convincing wins over Rangers. The latter opposition provided...

Liverpool 2 – 1 Leicester – PL Man Of The Match

Liverpool 2 - 1 Leicester - PL Man Of The Match Trent Alexander Arnold This was an all around impressive outing for Trent, with his ability to create the opening reds goal easily matched by his defensive awareness and composure. Whenever he was caught one on one, he was full of concentration and desire to...

Liverpool 2 – 1 Leicester – Premier League Player Ratings

Liverpool 2 - 1 Leicester - Premier League Player Ratings Starting XI Alisson Becker - 6.0 The worlds greatest keeper, it’s a joy to have him back. Could do little for the opening goal and had to react well after that. Was a little too busy through the second half, without really having to over extend himself. Trent...

Tony Evans: ‘The Unlawful Killings’ & Refusing to Allow The Banterfication of Hillsborough

How was 2022 for you? The answer has to be “crap” in a general sense. From a Liverpool perspective it’s been a mixed year. We forget quickly but the first five months were as uplifting as any period in my supporting life. The quest for the quad was special. To go into the last week...

Gakpo a Good Start, The Ending is Key

The natural excitement around the signing of Cody Gakpo is both expected and understandable. Liverpool needed an attacker and they went out and got a good one, especially in what can be considered real value in today’s market. The Dutchman’s signing will give everyone around the club a boost and help reinforce the belief...

Could Moisés Caicedo Be the One?

Jude, Enzo, Declan, and now Moisés. These are the names that have been most notably linked with a January move to Liverpool, so with the transfer window now almost upon us, it could be that another signing is about to be confirmed. Cody Gakpo has this week been unveiled as the Reds' new forward addition, with...

January Scouting Report: Khephren Thuram

Liverpool’s need for a midfielder has been evident all campaign and a stark reminder was provided in the opening second half exchanges at Villa Park. The need for legs and physicality mixed with a Cody Gakpo story, means Reds everywhere are believing we’ll be active in the January market in this area. Whilst the...

Liverpool v Leicester – The Premier League Preview

With one game won and two to go, the Christmas Premier League fixture list has started very well for the Reds. After a successful Boxing Day trip to Villa Park, Jurgen Klopp will now be hoping to heap further misery on former Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, as Friday will see his Leicester side travel...

Aston Villa 1 – 3 Liverpool – The PL Post-mortem 

A win is a win and three points to kickstart the reds Premier League campaign could prove vital. Though our red men dragged their second half feet in getting there, all that mattered was victory, and that is what we achieved. On a day when a surprising move for Cody Gakpo is deal close to...

Cody Gakpo: Swiftness Born Out Of Necessity

So much for a quiet Boxing Day eh? No sooner had the dust settled on the Villa win and a swift Christmas Cinzano, than chaos erupted. A long, forgotten Paul Joyce bombshell was dropped in the form of a breaking move for Cody Gakpo. In true recent Liverpool transfer style, advanced negotiations quickly gave...

Sofyan Amrabat & The Low-Cost Alternative 

By stepping away from the Enzo & Jude propaganda for a moment, it brings the realisation that a more affordable midfielder may be needed this coming January. No single man (apart from perhaps John Henry) can be aware of the funds that are currently available, especially with Julian Ward serving his final few months...

Aston Villa 1 – 3 Liverpool – PL Man of The Match

Aston Villa 1 - 3 Liverpool - PL Man of The Match   Virgil van Dijk   This could have gone to Trent for his brilliant first half ball playing, Fabinho for his steady shielding throughout, Mo for his goal, assist, and attempts at getting Darwin in, but for me it was Virgil’s presence and leadership that shone...

Aston Villa 1 – 3 Liverpool – Premier League Player Ratings

Aston Villa 1 - 3 Liverpool - Premier League Player Ratings Starting XI Alisson Becker - 7.0 The big man is back and had to be alert to some chances in the first half, but became more of a spectator the longer the half went. Got little help from his defence for their goal and was a...

Mohamed Salah Tops More Liverpool Records as Cody Gakpo Arrives

Liverpool has added a significant amount of firepower to their attacking department, but the 30-year-old Mohamed Salah will undoubtedly remain the front runner up top. The first-ever winter World Cup is over, Mohamed Salah had a month's rest, and it only took the Liverpool legend five minutes to refresh football fans' memory of why he's...

Aston Villa v Liverpool – The Premier League Preview

Liverpool are now back in match action and will be looking for a far better performance than the one we witnessed during the 3-2 loss to Manchester City in midweek. That Carabao Cup tie was wholly insignificant, with Jurgen Klopp’s ambitions solely focused on a top four finish and a prosperous Champions League run,...

Manchester City 3 – 2 Liverpool – League Cup Post-Mortem 

It was a topsy turvy game that in all honesty should have been away from us by half time. In the end, the result was a fair one that allowed the stronger team to move into the next round. Liverpool have given up one of the trophies they garnered last season, but it is...

Lessons Learned: Manchester City (Carabao Cup)

That’s why we missed club football! An end-to-end slugfest with goal mouth action, chances squandered and some real needle between the two teams. Aside form the World Cup Final, how many games could you genuinely say that about in the competition? This was the Carabao Cup and secretly there’s a part of Jurgen Klopp...

Tony Evans: Liverpool Can Make The Top Four With Ease

The World Cup was great – especially if you like sportswashing – and the final ended with tremendous drama. Interesting, though, that there’s been a bout of collective amnesia and everyone appears to have forgotten how bad the first 79 minutes were. I’m glad Lionel Messi capped his career by winning the trophy. Not...

Manchester City 3 – 2 Liverpool – League Cup Man of the Match

Manchester City 3 - 2 Liverpool - League Cup Man of the Match Thiago Alcantara Far from a master class, this game became about stemming the City onslaught in the first half. With a midfield so overwhelmed and lacking experience, you only wanted the Spaniard on the ball. The first half became about damage limitation and getting...

January Scouting Report: Mohammed Kudus

What’s Been Said? It’s probably little to no surprise there's been quite a bit about a player that’s shone at the World Cup. The Daily Mail has reported recently that the Ajax player will be looking to force a move in January, which does fall in line with recent reporting. The most notable and reliable...
