Before the match, hosts Arsenal were in a run of form they’ve not seen for years, putting themselves in pole position to qualify for the Champions League. Nevertheless, they were playing against the form side in Premier League (and Europe) as Liverpool travelled to London to face the Gunners. On Post-Match RAW, Trevor hosted Dave […]
The juggernaut rolled though the Emirates and didn’t stop, thanks to goals from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino. But what were the key stats as the Reds got to within one point of Manchester City? Silence, then thunder Arsenal 0 : 2 Liverpool ▪ xG: 0.69 – 1.25▪ xThreat: 0.85 – 1.41▪ Possession: 49.0% – […]
Joel Matip Virgil, Fabinho and Alisson all could have won this, which showed the utter strength through the defensive middle. In a game where Martinelli was so dangerous, Matip was able to offer great coverage when they broke. Was dominating aerially throughout, assured in possession, and carried the ball forward with his usual threat. A […]
What is the correct wage for any player? It’s very subjective even in the best of circumstances, but the negotiations between Mo Salah’s camp and Liverpool football club involve several added layers that increase the complexity exponentially. THE WAGE SCALE The “wage scale” and how far Mo’s new deal can be outside of that without […]
Against Arsenal, Liverpool had one of their slowest first halves of the season. It seemed like the Gunners had a real foothold in the game, and although they didn’t create much, neither did Liverpool. But we will not be stopped. No matter what you throw at these boys, they’ll plant their feet, grit their teeth, […]
Arsenal 0 – 2 Liverpool – The Player Ratings Alisson Becker – 8.5 A pretty routine first half for the giant Brazilian, with possession of the ball more apparent than anything else. Made a great stop early in the second half as the game opened up. Didn’t have much to do after that, but his […]
Liverpool may have lost to Inter Milan at Anfield, but the Under Pressure boys soon to put to bed any doubt that the Reds deserved to go through with a comprehensive run down of the key stats from the two legged tie: 3.1 xG to 0.8 coupled with FIVE big chances to the Italian side’s […]
I want Mohamed Salah to sign a new contract with Liverpool, as he’s the world’s best player, performing to the peak of his powers. He is perhaps the most remarkable signing in Liverpool’s history, and the success that has been garnered (during his stay), is as much to do with him as anyone else. This […]
In a game where Liverpool actually had slightly less possession, it was a clear case of managing the match accordingly. The Reds rarely had to stretch themselves, and short of the odd and inevitable moment, they cruised to a comfortable 0-2 victory. Brighton are in a slump, not a free fall slump, but a worrying […]
Luis Diaz The South American flyer was at times sensational today, and has quickly become a player that the fans adore. His unpredictable nature, movement of the ball and ability to engage defenders was very much apparent today. He scored a goal, could have had more, could have been supplied more efficiently & was a […]
