As far as Champions League Group Stage campaigns go, things could not have gone any better for Liverpool this season and after getting the better of AC Milan recently, it meant the Merseyside men picked up a maximum 18 points from Group B. A tally that not only saw them top their four-team mini-league but […]
Alisson Becker – 5.5 Long stretches of inactivity and some hairy moments led to an up and down afternoon. If these suspect moments see a clean sheet and a probable kick start ensue (before the next run of games), then that’s just fine. Trent Alexander Arnold – 7.5 The low blocks and overloading of Gerrard’s […]
The position of fullback has perhaps seen the biggest evolution over the last few decades, especially at Anfield. The current versions are an attacking force of nature, with Andy Robertson’s endeavour and willing a delight to behold. On the opposite flank, Trent Alexander Arnold has become an absolute revelation, and sits firmly as the world’s […]
Six wins in six matches, 17 goals scored, and 18 points collected – the Reds’ performance in the Champions League group stage so far was amazing, only outdone by Ajax (three more goals scored) and Bayern Munich (with five more goals). Based on these results, bookies agree that Liverpool has a real chance of even […]
It seems to be common within modern cinema, to pit an unstoppable force against the immovable object. It’s often a tale of strength, arrogance, and sometimes a legendary icon pitted against a worthy opponent. The last few weeks (indeed much of the season), has seen a certain rhetoric take place regarding certain players. The likes […]
Liverpool became the first English team to win all six of their Champions League group stage matches by beating AC Milan 2-1 at the San Siro. The Reds must have felt almost guilty as they crushed Milan’s Round of 16 dream even after making nine changes from the weekend’s win over Wolves. Fikayo Tomori had […]
Alisson Becker – 7.5 Did everything well, and the few chances that came Wolves’ way, were dealt with in a usual fashion. Trent Alexander Arnold – 7.0 Struggled with the deep block and defensive overload, but had next to no issues defensively. A good game, and always frustrating when opposing teams are so organised. Andy […]
I remember (many, many years ago), spending entire days playing Championship Manager. It would have been at least 25 years ago, where I would spend entire summer holidays managing teams, and searching for players to sign. Often times I would be the Liverpool manager, but here and there I would mix up my club of […]
Alisson Becker – 7.0 Wasn’t at fault for Grays goal, and showed good use of the ball. Not his busiest evening (in terms of shots saved), and commanded when is required. Trent Alexander Arnold – 7.5 Possibly could have swept tighter for the goal, but the all in all, a solid game. Good progression of […]
A few weeks ago we said our goodbyes to Roger Hunt, a reminder that as new heroes are created, the past legends will eventually leave us. The sad news this week saw former Liverpool player, Ray Kennedy, pass away. At just 70 years of age, the former reds midfielder leaves behind a glittering career in […]
