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 […]
The Premier League title race looks set to be another unrelenting one for the teams involved. Following Manchester United’s recent run of results, it looks likely to be a battle between Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea to win the Premier League title this season. However, the Reds are likely to face a huge challenge over […]
When Jürgen Norbert Klopp arrived at Liverpool, there was a sense of relief and hope. The style of football quickly changed, the tempo of the matches picked up, the gegenpressing began to unfold, and certain players started to fall under the intense pressure. Brendan Rodgers and his patterns of play were forever changing at Liverpool, […]
Alisson Becker – 8.0 Some important stops allowed Liverpool to avoid any issues. The most important goalkeeper in Liverpool’s Premier League era, and irreplaceable in this side. Trent Alexander Arnold – 8.0 So impressive in his game. The elegance and natural ability he has is unmatched by any other attacking fullback. Another assist for this […]
A hat-trick is a rare and beautiful achievement for any footballer, one that puts their name on the front page of every paper from BettingNews88 to the biggest publication in the world. Unless, of course, it happens under special circumstances – like the one scored by Darwin Núñez in a game against Belenenses SAD in […]
In a period where life is still somewhat irregular, a little bit scary and often times frustrating, there is still the odd football moment that brings pure joy. Last weekend Liverpool entertained a visiting Arsenal side, and their young manager, Mikel Arteta. For Liverpool’s fanbase, the pre game was relaxed, and confidence was high. The […]
Alisson Becker – 7.0 A peaceful night’s work for the giant Brazilian. Even with the odd moment (where things looked precarious), he offers limitless assurance. Neco Williams – 6.5 Some composure is required, as steady and dependable is what is needed to be Trent’s deputy. Got caught out a few times, and against better opposition […]
Only Mohamed Salah has more goals than Sadio Mane in the Premier League this season. A lot of people will – perhaps rightly – focus on Salah being the top scorer. But the fact Mane is amongst the goals this season should not be overlooked. For most wide forwards, a haul of 11 Premier League […]
