Player Ratings as Liverpool win a League Cup match!

Winning in the Milk/Carling/Carabao Cup, I'd honestly forgotten what it felt like. It's okay. That was great fun though, in honesty. Watching Liverpool go past MK Dons by two goals to nil as a handful of talents make their debuts isn't a bad way to spend a Wednesday evening, with James Milner also getting his...

Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool: A Tactical Breakdown

After a series of relatively soft fixtures, a Champions League game away to Napoli followed by a match at Stamford Bridge five days later stood out as a particularly sticky and potentially troublesome duo. Yet Liverpool are still flying high, having won their opening six league games, but questions about their performance levels remain. Liverpool’s first-half...

Set-Pieces and Dark Arts: Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool

Liverpool managed to extend their 100% record with a win over Chelsea on Sunday, and while the result deserves praise, the Reds were quite poor with and without the ball. It seemed obvious amidst the second half that Liverpool were shattered, both mentally and physically. Loose passes and leggy ground covering showed that the...

Trent Alexander-Arnold says Reds are capable of continuing winning run

Liverpool's local lad, Trent Alexander-Arnold, believes The Reds have a squad very capable of continuing their Premier League winning run.

We are capable of...

Is Roberto Firmino world class?

Very few players in world football have positions named after them. Only a handful do and they're usually individuals who transformed that role. Andrea Pirlo wasn't the first playmaker to be deployed in the defensive midfield role but he certainly enjoyed the most success there and that quarterback position was soon christened the Pirlo...

Mané was replaced by James Milner in the 71st minute at Stamford Bridge after Liverpool's number 10 had received a "knock on the bone" according to Jurgen Klopp. When asked about Mané's injury after the game,...

Liverpool’s Most Underrated Defender

Trent Alexander-Arnold is known for a lot of things but defending isn’t one of them. The Liverpool right-back is often pinpointed as a weak link in the backline. Pundits and fans of rival clubs cite the time Marcus Rashford terrorised him during the 2017/18 campaign.  They’ll bring up the times Burnley’s Dwight McNeil and Cardiff...

Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool: Key stats as Reds stay perfect… just

If Liverpool win the Premier League title this season, they won't look back on their many cruising victories, but on the wins they scraped when not at their best.

Efficient Liverpool Sack Stamford Bridge

Liverpool cemented their position at the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 win away to Chelsea.

Time For Liverpool’s Title Bid To Get Serious

Champions League or Premier League: Should Liverpool be prioritising?

Liverpool fans were most likely sick of being asked this question towards the tail end of last season, but it's one that this year takes on an entirely different meaning. When asked at a press conference whether he would rather lift the Premier League or Champions League trophy at the end of the season, Jordan...

Adrian insists he can’t be happy with his saves against Napoli due to loss

Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian says that despite some fantastic saves against Napoli he can't be happy with himself as The Reds ended up losing 2-0. Adrian made some brilliant stops against Carlo Ancelotti's side with one particular save from Dries Mertens at the far post standing out above all. However, the Spanish shot-stopper insists he is not...

Klopp’s Still Got an Ace Up his Sleeve

It’s cliché to say it. It really is. “Player (x) returning from injury, he’s practically a new signing!” It’s tired, it’s worn out, it’s ostensibly untrue and it’s essentially trying to justify, rightly or wrongly, inactivity. Yet, it sort of does feel like Naby Keita is a whole new signing. Not in the conventional sense, because Liverpool fans...

Why Virgil Van Dijk is better than Sergio Ramos

Twitter can be a strange place. In the past, it was a place to share opinions. Now the majority use it as a platform to ridicule them. Football Twitter has seeped into normal, everyday Twitter. People want to either trigger you or they stick on a mask and start looking for easy retweets and...

Liverpool Must Improve

Absurd title, isn’t it? Allow me to explain... Every Premier League game these days feels like a ‘must win’ for Liverpool Football Club. Such is life when you’re effectively chasing perfection and trying to outdo this Manchester City outfit.

Napoli 2-0 Liverpool: What went wrong?

This is the second year in succession that I'm sitting down to ponder how Liverpool were beaten at the Stadio San Paolo, but the circumstances feel different. Last season, it was more or less a case of a wretched team performance, but on the whole the Reds turned in a decent display at this time,...

Reds Rue Referee Replay Refusal in Reversal

A contentious Dries Mertens penalty and a late Fernando Llorente goal saw Liverpool start their European Cup defence start with a 2-0 defeat to Napoli in Italy. Jurgen Klopp made three alterations to the team that defeated Newcastle on Saturday, with James Milner and Jordan Henderson returning to the midfield in place of Georginio Wijnaldum...

Player ratings as Reds fall again in Naples

VAR. Going great, isn’t it? I honestly didn’t think we’d do particularly well tonight but I thought we’d at least have the VAR on our side after Saturday’s debacle.  Never mind. Chelsea on Saturday etc, we move on. Just one more thing before the ratings - Peter Walton is a big weirdo.  Adriannnnn, like Rocky! Adrian (8): That’s...

Predicting Liverpool’s starting eleven for the Napoli game tonight

Liverpool return to European competitive action tonight when they face Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo in Naples. We've had a go at predicting Jurgen Klopp's starting eleven.

Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle: A Tactical Breakdown

International breaks can often pose a challenge for teams on a winning streak, with an unnecessary interruption to the rhythm of the side. Against Newcastle, for the opening 15-20 minutes at least, it seemed that was the case. Newcastle opted to launch balls into the wide channels, and fight for second balls, but it...
