I have written more about Gini Wijnaldum this season than last. His off ball intelligence was so understated, he could glide through games merely taking up good positions, and aiding the system with pure intelligence. His ability to help shield a solid defence, made that defence one of the best in Europe, and his defensive […]
Before the season started, I predicted that Liverpool would finish in third behind Manchester City and Chelsea. It was clear that, with our first-team centre-backs fit again and the structure of the team restored as a result, we’d compete for the title, but I did think we’d ultimately fall short. Ten Premier League games into […]
Alisson Becker – 7.5 So dominant and was once again important to his team. The first goal was pin point precision in it’s trajectory, and would’ve been tough to stop even if not lost in the sun. Trent Alexander Arnold – 6.0 An unsure performance. A new inside centre back (Konate) and the ever revolving […]
The centre-back situation Last season, Liverpool had no centre-backs. Now, the Reds allegedly have too many. According to a report, albeit not the most reliable ones, Joe Gomez isn’t happy with his situation at Anfield. The 24-year-old is yet to start in the Premier League this term and the majority of his minutes have arrived […]
How Liverpool Defied the Odds in the 2005 Champions League Final Britons are avid bettors, whether it’s in the form of sports betting or at the casino, as our list of recent UK winners highlights. But when it comes to substantial sports payouts one of the most iconic instances happened in 2005, in Istanbul. The […]
The season rolls on, and Liverpool are yet to taste defeat in any competition thus far. A quarter final place in the League Cup, a top place position in their Champions League group, and a second place berth in the Premier League represents a superb start to the season. With a home game against Brighton […]
How does Divock Origi do it? If you piece together a highlight reel made up of all of his best moments, he’d look like one of the best players ever to put on a Liverpool shirt. There are world-class finishes amongst memorable moments that will never be forgotten. His goal against Preston was outrageous, yet […]
What a difference a few months make. The majority of last season saw Liverpool’s central defenders fall away, in an horrific series of season ending injuries. Once Dejan Lovren and Ki-Jana Hoever were sold last summer, it was predictable that the failure to recruit, in defence, would come back to bite the reds. That crisis […]
Domestic cup wins are a glorious building block for success, though only if your team is blessed with a squad to cope. We have seen Manchester City consistently able to achieve cup wins (in recent years), whilst maintaining both strong League and European campaigns. The issue is never the desire to lose in the League […]
Steven Gerrard is perhaps the greatest number 8 in Liverpool’s history. This week or next I’ll be taking a look at how this footballing colossus would have translated under a Jürgen Klopp regime. It is something that would have been a joy to behold, and the attacking force of nature would be almost unplayable in […]
