The End of An Era Under Jürgen Klopp 

The End of An Era Under Jürgen Klopp    When Jürgen Klopp arrived from Borussia Dortmund in 2015 (and a brief sabbatical), it was the beginning of a new era that would bring a level of success that we could have only dreamed of. Despite being so close to capturing the Premier League crown in the...

It’s Time To Move Joël Matip On…

Throughout the Liverpool career of our Cameroonian defender, it’s always been apparent that the fanbase holds huge affection for Joël Matip. For a player that signed on a free transfer from Schalke 2016, it’s undeniable that he’s been a solid success story throughout his 136 games as a red. There are obvious caveats that...

Lessons Learned versus Crystal Palace

A hangover, Real Madrid still playing on their minds etc etc. Whichever way you dress it up or whatever excuses could be made, this was a terrible game of football. Crystal Palace’s own struggles aside, it’s hard to believe this was a team who are supposed to be chasing champions league football and as...

Crystal Palace 0 – 0 Liverpool – PL Player Ratings

Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 6.0 The chance to redeem himself, after a tough Champions League week. He was solid enough, especially as his side seemed poised to gift the home side a big chance through the first half. Was largely a second half spectator, in a very...

Crystal Palace 0 – 0 Liverpool – PL Player of the Match

Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Liverpool - PL Player of the Match   Virgil van Dijk   A very unspectacular game from the giant Dutchman, yet his role was more about offering coverage and control, as the surrounding cast struggled to carry out their duties.   Was vocal and largely untroubled, as Palace looked to target Matip & Trent. He...

Trent Assisting: Hopefully The Re-Birth Continues

It’s not been the easiest of seasons for Trent Alexander-Arnold. Often singled out unfairly as the major issue in Liverpool’s defensive line, the West Derby born player has seen his and his team-mates performances and desire questioned on a number of occasions. On the back of Liverpool’s victory against Newcastle on Saturday, there’s a...

Front Three: Keep It The Same … For Now

Jurgen Klopp was clear and direct in his press conference on Friday morning. Liverpool have some knocks from the Real Madrid game, so they have and want to make changes to the line-up. Who and what they might be is open to speculation until 6:45pm on Saturday night, but the manager talked about focusing...

Crystal Palace v Liverpool – The PL Preview

After a rather enjoyable league renaissance, Liverpool’s brief resurrection reverted to form in midweek, with an astonishing 2-5 loss unfolding at home to Real Madrid. The result and manner in which the reds capitulated was a horrible watch, leaving them (realistically) only one path into Europe next season. This Saturday evening sees Jürgen Klopp...

All hope far from lost in Liverpool’s top-four push

As Liverpool games go, few in history have felt more dispiriting than Tuesday's 5-2 mauling at the hands of Real Madrid in the Champions League. Frustratingly, the Reds actually played well for a chunk of the first half, racing into a 2-0 lead, with much-maligned individuals such as Fabinho and Jordan Henderson looking more like...

Tony Evans: Don’t Listen to the Cloud Cuckoo Delusional Spoilt Brats

Shall we be Real? Well, we can’t be. Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world. They are defending the Champions League, a trophy they’ve won in four of the past nine seasons. If you’re freaked out that Liverpool are not as good as them, you’re taking bedwetting to new levels. It is not...

Markus Krosche: Top CV, But Concerns If ‘Klopp’s Man’

In true Liverpool style, it’s always a name that comes from left-field when it does. There’s none more reliable than David Ornstein and his confirmation this morning that current Eintracht Frankfurt Sporting Director Markus Krosche is in the running for the same role at Anfield carries serious weight. With affairs off-the-field currently in flux...

Liverpool 2 – 5 Real Madrid: The Post-Mortem 

To see the once mighty Reds score two goals at Anfield (under those famous lights), whilst still falling so dramatically to the feet of Real Madrid is as disastrous as it gets. The way in which Liverpool surrendered their lead was painful to watch, though as the 4th and 5th away goals went in,...

Can Liverpool qualify for the Champions League?

The battle for the Premier League title in the 22-23 season is coming to an end, and Liverpool are one of the teams at the center of the action. After last season's excellent campaign, Liverpool's hopes of regaining the Premier League title are all over. With regards to qualification in the Champions League, Liverpool...

The Liverpool rebuild: a task too big for Klopp

It usually takes a while for the mainstream journalists to cotton on. The 2-5 defeat this week was a moment when even the world’s most self-satisfied ostriches raised an eyebrow above the line of the sand. “Jurgen Klopp’s first great Liverpool era is over” shrieked Chris Bascombe. “Liverpool may even struggle to qualify next season” simpered...

FSG Ownership Latest: Into Last Chance Saloon

Well ... you can put away all your Arabic to English converters finally as they won’t be needed anymore. After months of the loudest silence the other side of the Atlantic, FSG and more relevantly its leader John W Henry has confirmed that Liverpool Football Club is not for sale, but is discussing investment....

Lessons Learned against Real Madrid

A schooling, a hammering and absolute annihilation. Three comments I saw on social media afterwards, which are all completely true. What started to look like being another dream night at Anfield quickly disintegrated into an absolute nightmare for Liverpool as they were well beaten by an outstanding Real Madrid side. Even the most optimistic...

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Preview

This weekend, Crystal Palace will host Liverpool at Selhurst Park as both teams aim to secure three valuable points in the Premier League. In the past two seasons, the two sides have faced each other five times, with Liverpool winning four of those matches and the other ending in a draw. However, Crystal Palace...

Liverpool 2 – 5 Real Madrid – PL Player Ratings

Liverpool 2 - 5 Real Madrid - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 4.0 This game had all the makings of becoming the battle of two world class keepers. Despite a couple of good first half moments, Ali was unable to reach his usual levels on greatness within a very strange game. Some uncharacteristic mistakes can...

Cody Gakpo & The New False 9…

When Liverpool was at their Premier & Champions League winning peak, there were certain players that were able to drive the team to a brilliantly unbeatable standard. In goal we had the best stopper on the planet, at fullback we had the most ridiculously attacking wide men who would consistently service the attack, in...

Liverpool v Real Madrid – The CL Preview

And just like that, the Champions League returns. In this most peculiar of seasons, the Qatar World Cup has managed to cause multiple disruptions and irregular form across much of Europe. With that controversy ridden tournament now in the wind, hopefully we can now all zero in on some European football, with that classic...

Newcastle 0 – 2 Liverpool: The Post-Mortem

It is amazing what a week in Premier League football can do for a disheartened fanbase. The issues are still apparent, the changes are still required, and a raft of new players are a must in the summer transfer window. What has improved, however, is the tone of the messages within my WhatsApp groups,...

Should James Milner Get Another Contract?

For much of the season (and especially this last week), there have been rumblings that James Milner could be offered yet another one year extension. Having just turned 37-years of age, the Leeds born footballer defies all common sense in his continuing ability to represent an elite level club. However you regard his current...

Why Harvey Barnes Should Be a Summer Option

At the seasons start, you could have been confident that the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp, and Antonio Conte would have been fighting it out for top honours at the end of this campaign, yet the latter two have suffered either mild or scary lapses in their usual levels, whilst the Etihad is...

Lessons Learned against Newcastle United

It’s quite staggering that in a season where Liverpool have been largely woeful that they still have a chance to finish in the top four. The gap to Newcastle is now reduced to just six points and with a game in hand. There were plenty of ups and downs in a game that we...

Newcastle 0 – 2 Liverpool – Man of the Match

Newcastle 0 - 2 Liverpool - Man of the Match   Alisson Becker   It is frustrating to have to award the man of the match to our keeper so often, but it is a pure indication of how utterly world class he is.   His decision making, rapid movement from his line, smothering of attackers, and clean handling are...

Newcastle 0 – 2 Liverpool – PL Player Ratings

Newcastle 0 - 2 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 9.0 The monstrous keeper made some vital first half saves, one which was a brilliant one on one stop to keep the scores level. So quick off his line and really papered over some cracks within the reds shield. Was not overly busy in...

Ownership Latest: FOMO Time

FOMO informal. : fear of missing out : fear of not being included in something (such as an interesting or enjoyable activity) that others are experiencing. There is a real concern amongst most reds that with recent developments this could be the case long-term. With developments at other clubs and the lack of...

Stefan Bajčetić & The Eventual Gini Replacement 

Since Georginio Wijnaldum departed Anfield in 2021, I have tended to write at least three articles a year, that allude to the red’s failure to replace the Swiss Army knife of midfielders. I’ve often spoken about the necessity of system players within our team, that can facilitate the special talents of others to rise...

Tony Evans Column: Buckle Up! Beat Newcastle & Madrid to Avoid a Total Bust

The performance against Everton felt like a throwback to a golden age. Last season. Things change that quickly. Granted, the Blues were really poor. We expected the Dogs of War. Instead we got yard-dogs with distemper. Still, there are grounds for optimism after the derby. The pace of the front three for the opening strike was...

Newcastle and Real Madrid the real gauge of ‘revitalised’ Liverpool

Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Everton was a delight. It earned the Reds local bragging rights, it represented a much-needed return to winning ways, and most importantly, it resembled something close to the team of old. All of a sudden, there was more purpose in the pressing, more focus at the back and more cohesion in the...
