Put Some Respect On Klopp’s Name

I tend to only glance at social media these days, essentially if I’m checking on team sheets, injuries and transfer gossip. If I like a story, I’ll tend to believe it, and if I don’t, it must surely be false. I wrote the following words on Sunday morning, and was happy to later hear...

Observations: Liverpool book their place in the Final

The most notable factor in the buildup to the FA Cup semi-final was the team selection of Man City. The absence of Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker was expected after their midweek knocks, but Pep Guardiola also rested Rodri, Ederson, and Laporte. This ended up being crucial, as City no longer had their...

Player Ratings for Liverpool 3-2 Manchester City

Last Sunday at the Etihad was an up-and-down affair for Liverpool, but an early blitzkrieg against their hated rivals at Anfield South put the Reds out of touching distance and sent Jurgen’s boys to another cup final.

His handling was assured, as Benfica started to test from...

Does Liverpool Need Mo Salah to Win the Premier League and Champions League?

Manchester City 2 – 2 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.5 Made a superb early stop on Sterling, before a cruel deflection made De Bruyne’s opening goal unreachable. Was kept busy, and again could do little for the goal from Jesus.

Naby: The Big Game Player

Naby Keita has been one of Liverpool's best players this season, and perhaps the Reds' most underrated performer.

Benfica 1 – 3 Liverpool – The Man of the Match

Luis Diaz This could well have gone to Ibrahima Konate, if not for the mistake and brief period of poor play at the start of the second half. The man of the match must however go to a player that was at times unplayable, and perhaps the man that has decided the tie. Luis Diaz...

Should Liverpool move for Karim Adeyemi?

According to reports, Karim Adeyemi might once again be up for grabs.  Everything had pointed towards the 20-year-old joining Borussia Dortmund this summer. He wouldn’t be a like-for-like Erling Haaland replacement but he would be the attacker signed to fill the void left by his departure.  However, according to SportBild, the deal has stalled over recent...

Should Liverpool be interested in Ismaila Sarr?

There’s always talk that Liverpool could raid a relegated club for a player. The idea stems from the fact the Reds did just that when they signed Andrew Robertson and Gini Wijnaldum in consecutive summers. Are the club beyond that now? Back then the hopes were of a top four finish, now everything is...
