David Lynch: SLOT GOT IT WRONG WITH TRENT! | Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal Reaction

Liverpool surrendered a two-goal lead as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday. First-half goals from Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz had the home support in party mode again as they celebrated being Premier League champions against a team who had been their nearest rivals for the crown. However, the Gunners fought back impressively in the second period, while Trent Alexander-Arnold's introduction as a substitute also served to change the mood. Here, Reds reporter David Lynch reflects on the performance, and discusses the Alexander-Arnold controversy that is threatening to sour the run-in. He also heaps praise on Conor Bradley for his performance at right-back and goalscorers Diaz and Gakpo. Check out this review of the game and make sure to leave your thoughts in the comment section.

Liverpool v West Ham Preview – Key Battles

After the implosion at Bournemouth, the Reds are back in Premier League action at Anfield. This time, the visitors are West Ham United. The Hammers themselves are in terrible form. They don't have a win in their last six games in all competitions. Since beating Chelsea 2-1 in the 4th round of the EFL Cup,...

Liverpool Now Have Little Room For Error In Title Race

Jurgen Klopp has made a point of stressing that Premier League titles are not won or lost in December. So much of what the German says hits the nail on the head more than most managers in world football, but he is only half right here. The 49-year-old is spot on about the league being impossible...

Jordan Henderson – The Best Is Yet To Come

There's a saying that springs to mind when I think of Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson - that is fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. For a lot of fans my use of this analogy when I talk about Henderson may be a small bit confusing. Well let me explain. When Henderson...

Liverpool – A Squad in Crisis?

A mere few weeks ago Liverpool were well and truly flying, yet a flurry of injuries, including one to Phillipe Coutinho, suddenly dampened the mood around Anfield, and the recent humiliating defeat to Bournemouth only sought to worsen the atmosphere surrounding Liverpool FC. But with the January transfer window approaching, and with Mané soon...

Bournemouth vs Liverpool: Our Thoughts

On Sunday we saw Bournemouth produce one of the most brilliant comebacks in Premier league history, raging back from a deficit of 3-1 to claim a 4-3 win over Liverpool. It seemed as if Liverpool stopped caring after a certain point, assuming that they had all but won the game after the first half...

The Dejan Lovren Conundrum

Whenever a club signs Dejan Lovren a free instruction manual should be provided on what to do and what not to do to get the best out of him. Similar, in many ways, to the guidelines set out if you were to have a Gremlin, I suppose. Instead of the "don't feed them after midnight" spiel...

Keepers and Context | Bournemouth 4 Liverpool 3

Many years ago a fanzine editor gave me a piece of advice that I will take to my grave. Whereas he had to write copy for a newspaper shortly after the final-whistle while the blood was up, I had a few days grace to compose myself and write with the luxury of time. He...

Where Data Meet Tactics: Ball Retention and Loss of Possession

These words were written to accompany the following graphic, and provide further context to the data. https://twitter.com/AIUnderPressure/status/804631753591816192 Working Out The first important piece of context regarding this graphic is that it’s not based on passes. It’s based on losses of possession due to a poor touch or an unsuccessful dribble. The numbers were calculated by dividing losses of...

Observations from Liverpool’s Capitulation against Bournemouth

Talk about deja-vu. Liverpool dominate the first-half and take a 2-0 lead into half-time but capitulate in the second-half to undo all of their good work. It was a 45 minutes so far removed from what Liverpool fans are used to under Jurgen Klopp this season that it felt like groundhog day and dredged up...

Bournemouth 4 Liverpool 3 – Player Ratings

Liverpool fell to their second defeat of the season as a second-half capitulation at Dean Court saw Bournemouth take the three points with a 4-3 victory. Sadio Mane and Divock Origi gave Liverpool a 2-0 lead before Callum Wilson's penalty gave the Cherries hope. Emre Can restored the Reds' two-goal lead, but Ryan Fraser, Steve...

Will Injuries Curtail Liverpool’s Title’s Charge?

Liverpool’s ability to deal with injuries could define title challenge Liverpool’s start to the 2016-17 Premier League season has led to fledgling hopes in the Kop that the Merseyside club have the required pedigree to become English champions for the first time since 1990. Jurgen Klopp’s charismatic demeanour and expansive footballing ideologies are starting to sink...

Pass the Dutchie On the Left-Hand Side

First off, credit to @CalvLyfeson for the inspired title of this piece. There was a lot of talk surrounding who Jurgen Klopp would opt to go with to replace the injured Philippe Coutinho on the Liverpool left. If history was anything to go off it looked as though the German would give the responsibility to...

Liverpool Must Learn From Their Festive Slumps In 02/03 & 08/09

Liverpool are 13 matches into their assault on another Premier League title, and they have arguably never looked more likely to seal that holy grail we have all craved so badly since 1990. Under Jurgen Klopp, the Reds are looking the part more and more by the week, and they are picking up points in...

Bournemouth vs Liverpool Preview | Klopp Hoping For a Bite of the Cherries

Bournemouth v Liverpool Preview – Key Battles

After a night of the teenagers at Anfield, it will probably be up to the more experienced players on Sunday, as Liverpool head down south to Dean Court to face Bournemouth. This is the first game of a few that Liverpool will play without the talismanic Philippe Coutinho after the little magician's injury against...

The Myth Surrounding Loris Karius’ Distribution

In the victory over Sunderland there was a moment in the match which saw Liverpool 'keeper Loris Karius kick the ball out of play for a corner as he was trying to play the ball out to Joel Matip. I'm almost certain it's a pass we've all made in our life. We've gone to play a...

A Clamorous Anfield?

At about the 62nd minute of the recent Liverpool-Sunderland match at Anfield, an animated (and arguably agitated) Jurgen Klopp turned to the Liverpool faithful in the stands and seemingly chided them for not the lackluster support, and yet rallied them to get behind the players as they hounded and attached the fortified Sunderland banks...

Couti-NOOO- Who Will Step Into The Magician’s Shoes?

"If we win the next game then I'll believe we can challenge for the title"- Me after every game. If you haven't made this statement yet you're; A. wildly optimistic B. need to smile once in a while.

Observations from Liverpool’s win against Leeds United

Well, it wasn't pretty but after making eight changes, giving players a go in different positions and blooding a few youngsters it wasn't going to be, was it? It was an intriguing watch but not if you're a fan of entertainment. It was once again up to Liverpool to be patient in possession and work...

Liverpool 2-0 Leeds United – Player Ratings

On a night when Leeds United and Garry Monk did their growing reputation no harm, Liverpool booked a spot in the semi-final with a 2-0 win. Divock Origi opened the scoring, poking in a stunning cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold, but the story of the night is undoubtedly Ben Woodburn becoming the club's youngest ever...

Liverpool v Leeds – A Statistical Preview

The Liverpool team to face Leeds United at Anfield in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup is bound to have an unfamiliar look to it, with Jürgen Klopp likely to make up to nine changes from the weekend. Although there are a few experienced heads for the youngsters to lean on, the average age of this line-up...

Divock Origi – Taking Chances

From groans of displeasure to the Kop’s thunderous chorus. “Divock Origi” they chanted, moments after the 21-year old Belgian dashed towards the waiting Liverpool collective, all holding their hands out as if to embrace the man who’d finally undone the frustration. He slid; elegant and impassioned, majestic and manic, as Anfield lit up in celebration. Minutes...

Liverpool’s win over Sunderland – different types of winning

Generally speaking, wins come in different categories. So far this season, we’ve had the rollercoaster (Arsenal, Crystal Palace), the batterings (Leicester, Hull and Watford), the bossed win (Chelsea) and the routine (Derby and Burton Albion). Saturday saw us find a new stream. The eked out win. The hard yards. Of course, it wasn’t supposed to be...

Tactical Analysis – Liverpool maintain composure to break down Sunderland resistance

The match at Anfield against Sunderland took on extra significance given the run of form enjoyed by Chelsea under Antonio Conte. Whilst it is remiss to place too much importance on a single result at this stage of the season there is still a danger in allowing your opponent to open up too much...

Steven Gerrard – 15 Key Moments From The Career Of A Legend

Gerrard spent the first seventeen years of his career at boyhood club Liverpool before moving to LA Galaxy for the final eighteen months of his glittering career. The midfielder made 748 appearances for the two clubs,...

The Weight of the Shirt: Being a Red in America

My kids know the look.  My eyes narrow.  The left half of my face curl bunches up.  The forehead creases become visible from afar.  It means I’ve spotted another United shirt somewhere on the street here in Washington, D.C.  Or an Arsenal shirt.  And the kids these days love them some Spurs gear.  I’ll...

Why Emil Forsberg Should be a Target for Liverpool

Last January Liverpool were linked with a £6.6 million move for RB Leipzig attacker Emil Forsberg. It was an underwhelming link for fans who had expected Jurgen Klopp to bring in big name reinforcements and not players plying their trade in the Bundesliga 2 - the German equivalent of the Championship. As expected it was...

Observations from Liverpool’s win against Sunderland: Patience is key

The Reds weren't rampant. The floodgates didn't open like many had expected them to prior to kick-off.. Klopp's men didn't dismantle yet another side at Anfield. Instead, it was tense and a little uncomfortable as Sunderland threatened to frustrate the home side. They held out for 75 minutes but in the end Liverpool came away with...
