Liverpool can sign Jude Bellingham… if top-four finish allows them to

The summer transfer window was rightly dominated by talk of Liverpool signing a new central midfielder, with their inability to do so proving to be unacceptable. We're not counting Arthur, because I'm not even sure he's a real person at this point! Aurelien Tchouameni emerged as a genuine target but opted to join Real Madrid, and...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool

Another week, another poor Liverpool performance. How has this team fallen so far? From chasing an unprecedented quadruple to losing to the team who entered and ended the weekend bottom of the league. Liverpool lost four matches in all of last season. Four defeats in 63 games. This season couldn't be more different. In...

By the Numbers: Robertson vs Tsimikas

Little did we know an Alberto Moreno ankle injury during a 7-0 win over Spartak Moscow would turn out to be the best thing to ever happen to Liverpool's left flank. Moreno's ankle injury made way for ex-Hull City man Andrew Robertson, who quickly impressed, and continued impressing, and eventually just took Moreno's job...

The three Liverpool players who can benefit from not going to the World Cup

This is a season like no other - a World Cup is disrupting the normal flow of the league and it is still hard to know how this will affect the teams going forward. Essentially, we are being given two mini-seasons with a 5-week winter break separating them. Depending on what perspective you are looking at...

Ajax 0 – 3 Liverpool – CL Man of the Match

Andrew Robertson Playing in a new 4-4-2 diamond shape, Robertson had the entire left wing to himself in Amsterdam, and he did well at both ends of the pitch, covering against some dangerous Ajax attacks, and providing energy and forward momentum offensively. His assist for Nunez's goal was a superbly taken corner. Despite the struggles of...

Ajax 0 – 3 Liverpool – Champions League Player Ratings

Starting XI Alisson Becker - 7.0 Started well, could do little but cover his angles as the ball struck the post in the opening moments, and looked steady enough through the opening stages. Was mostly untested as the reds took control through the second half. Trent Alexander Arnold- 7.0 Back in as a starter, he looked unsure on...

Julian Ward & His Must-Win Transfer Window

When Michael Edwards handed in his notice last year, I immediately saw it as an elite Sporting Director not being backed by his ownership. For any structurally organised sporting entity, success must be garnered a Ross all levels for the on field situations to succeed. Michael Edwards became a wizard of both buying and...

Ajax v Liverpool – The Champions League Preview

Liverpool come into this game needing a point to qualify for the next phase of the Champions League. Both wins against Rangers were as expected, but it was the Reds' home win against Ajax which has allowed them a chance to qualify with a game to spare. Napoli are one of the form teams...

Can Jurgen Klopp Recover From This Slump

When Jurgen Klopp joined Liverpool, I think it was only he and Carlo Ancelotti that were in the running for the Anfield hot seat. In appointing the big German, we made the absolute right call, and his talents suited our needs perfectly. A fallen giant needed massive overhaul, and the playing staff needed a...

Gradually, then suddenly…

“How did you go bankrupt?" Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.” Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises, 1926. As with bankruptcy so with football. So with Liverpool. This season feels “suddenly”. It feels all at once. It feels unexpected. This team just four months ago were very close to a quadruple. They then deservedly won the Community Shield in what...

Liverpool Loan Watch – Weekend Performances

Tyler Morton Morton and Blackburn had a very winnable game against 15th spot Birmingham, with Harvey Elliott in the crowd to cheer on his teammate. Blackburn picked up a 2-1 win, and Morton played fairly well, continuing his trend of good performances. Morton registered an assist, a fairly nice cross that Sam Gallagher tapped in...

It’s Time To See Mo & Darwin As A Pair

As a child of the early 80s, I was probably blessed by being able to see a number of talented strike pairings, this being throughout the Liverpool teams in the 1980s and 90s. As a teenager I would probably say that Robbie Fowler and Stan Collymore stand as the first pairing I truly appreciated,...

Fabinho & A Lack Of Midfield Support

Like a bolt from the blue, Fabinho arrived for £40m from Monaco. It was a deal that none of the so called ITK’s saw coming, and it was a move that the Reds' midfield desperately needed. Not since Javier Mascherano had Liverpool been able to field an elite CDM, but in Fabinho that wrong...

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Liverpool: What Went Wrong?

ah, where do we start. A rough night for the Reds in Nottingham. The Goal Another calamity of errors from Liverpool in the back. Gomez loses to Awoniyi in a terrible spot due to a brain lapse, and does the only reasonable thing left, take the yellow and gift Forest a deep free kick. The kick...

Nottingham Forest 1 – 0 Liverpool – PL Player Ratings

Starting XI Alisson Becker - 8.0 The reds penalty saving hero in the week, and most consistently reliable shield against attacks this year. He was as critical with some smart saves early on, as Liverpool were slow out of the blocks. Made a tremendous save late on, and that’s not a good thing to be so...

Joe Gomez – An Anfield Career Reborn

Through the summer months and until Joe Gomez signed his new Liverpool deal, there was speculation as to whether the gifted defender could be moved on for a substantial fee. With the current stock not incredibly high amongst English defenders, we have seen the likes of Ben White move for £50 million. If you...

Nottingham Forest v Liverpool – The Preview

After a busy midweek of matches on Amazon Prime, we reach the weekend with this lunch time fixture first up for the Premier League. It pits two historical clubs against one another, and could be the game of the weekend. After very dissimilar summers in the market, a heavily revamped Forest Squad meet a Liverpool...

Making Trent Into A Modern Day David Beckham

Just as Trent Alexander Arnold has landed in 22nd place in the ballon d’Or listing for 2022, it comes after (and perhaps within) a period when much of Trent‘s abilities have been brought into question. Trent Alexander Arnold is a fantastic and world class footballer, with unbelievable attributes. His level is obviously fully appreciated...

Tony Evans: Why Liverpool’s rivals are on a path to self-destruction

Another week in the life of Liverpool. Some places exist in a perpetual state of newsiness. Anfield is one of them. The win over Manchester City was uplifting but events off the field were dispiriting. The behaviour of City fans was reprehensible but their club’s response was even worse. The reaction from the Etihad...

Liverpool 1 – 0 West Ham – PL Man Of The Match

Liverpool 1 - 0 West Ham - PL Man Of The Match Virgil Van Dijk Far from his absolute best, but this was all about controlling his defensive third, and demanding those around him carried out their duties. Was strong aerially, vocal, and alert to snuff out dangers. His ability to read the game and on coming...

Liverpool 1 – 0 West Ham – PL Player Ratings

Starting XI Alisson Becker - 7.0 After the most uncomfortable of starts (those passes out from the back), he soon came back with a vengeance. A beautiful penalty save from Bowen was well deserved for a dubious penalty decision. Was pretty much untested apart from the odd moment. Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0 A very assured defenders performance,...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly From Liverpool vs Manchester City

It only took until the ninth Premier League game of the season but Liverpool appeared to finally wake up and realise that pre-season ended months ago and the season was underway. Having begun the weekend in 11th position, and dropped to 12th after results before their game kicked off, Liverpool found themselves in the...

How Liverpool can make a drastic improvement this season

To put it mildly, Liverpool's season 2022–2023 campaign got off to a rocky start. The team's first six Premier League games in England resulted in nine points. The Merseyside club's predicament was also made worse by the 4-1 thrashing they suffered in the UEFA Champions League match against Napoli of Italy. It is questionable...

Liverpool considering midfielder signing in January

Liverpool’s 1-0 Premier League win against Manchester City reaffirmed their ability to fight for a top-four place this season. The Reds are also battling in the Champions League for the knockout rounds and will kick off their domestic cup campaigns in the coming weeks. Liverpool supporters are debating whether the Reds can continue their form...

Liverpool v West Ham – Now To Push On

I predicted a 2-2 draw with City this past Sunday, but was delighted to be wrong. Liverpool ran out deservedly as winners with a 1-0 home win causing much of the small blue portion of Manchester to fall into meltdown. Bernardo Silva & Pep Guardiola were outraged, the sports washing entity as a whole...

Liverpool 1 – 0 Manchester City – Man Of The Match

Liverpool 1 - 0 Manchester City - Man Of The Match Joe Gomez After the Napoli game, this display looked an impossible task. He was utterly immense and showed every aspect of modern day defending. Pace, power, covering, and assurance in possession against a brilliant side could just see Joe return to the form that was...

Liverpool 1 – 0 Manchester City – PL Player Ratings

Liverpool 1 - 0 Manchester City - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 9.0 Immense when needed, thoroughly dominated his box, and showed superb reactions to set Salah free. He’s been a rock this year,. The low one handed save wars critical and he showed why he’s the worlds best. James Milner - 9.0 A brilliant performance, and...

Rangers 1 – 7 Liverpool – CL Man Of The Match

Man Of The Match Roberto Firmino Was clinical, smart in possession, and the assist for Darwin was just what the Uruguayan needed before he came off. Looked comfortable in the 10 after a slow start by the reds, and was the conduit for all good things in the final third. His work and intelligence was clear...

Rangers 1 – 7 Liverpool – CL Player Ratings

Starting XI Alisson Becker - 7.0 The reds most reliable performer this term. Could do little for the opening goal, with the scorer having a clean shot to take. Was rarely troubled for the remainder of the half. Had even less to do in the second period. Joe Gomez - 7.0 A more solid fullback could be what...
