Top Five or Bust? Jan Molby on Liverpool’s True Target Under Slot

Top Five or Bust? Jan Molby on Liverpool’s True Target Under Slot

Jan Molby turns his focus to the wider context of Liverpool’s season, asking what success genuinely looks like under Arne Slot. With external noise growing, Molby offers a grounded view of the club’s likely internal expectations, arguing that Champions League qualification may be the real non-negotiable objective. The conversation covers squad depth, injury concerns, long-term planning, and why panic decisions in January are unlikely despite visible weaknesses. Molby also reflects on modern managerial pressure, honesty in communication, and how patience from the hierarchy contrasts with the urgency felt by supporters. Measured, realistic, and sharply analytical, this discussion cuts through speculation to examine how Liverpool may be balancing short-term results with a longer-term vision.

Where Has the Spark Gone? Jan Molby on Liverpool’s Flat Performances

Where Has the Spark Gone? Jan Molby on Liverpool’s Flat Performances

Jan Molby delivers a frank and thoughtful assessment of Liverpool’s recent performances, questioning whether an extended unbeaten run is masking deeper issues. While results have held up, Molby argues that the football itself has become cautious, predictable, and lacking the intensity that once defined this side. The discussion explores the absence of pressing aggression, the loss of chaos and spontaneity, and why control alone is not enough for a club with Liverpool’s standards. Molby reflects on supporter expectations, the emotional disconnect creeping into matches, and why phrases such as “something to build on” feel increasingly hollow. This is an honest examination of identity, entertainment, and why Liverpool must rediscover more than just points if they are to reconnect with what made them formidable.

Gini Wijnaldum – Liverpool’s New No.5

Naby Keita, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Fabinho and Gini Wijnaldum. Seven midfielders, all of whom are justified in thinking themselves worthy of a starting position in the Liverpool line-up. Had you asked many fans which of the above would be looking for a club over the summer, the betting would suggest...

Red Rant: Foxy Klopp Not Ready to Contend

Ron Burgundy had three vulnerabilities in life... women, his dog Baxter, and the fact that he would read whatever was on the teleprompter. Our manager has a similar tick. If Jordan Henderson is available, he'll put him on the team sheet. It didn't matter that Emre Can was miles better. ...

Andy Robertson – Best Left-Back in the Premier League

I must confess that I was amongst those potentially frustrated when Liverpool decided not to spend big money on a left-back last summer, instead plumping for Hull’s Andy Robertson. However, once I did some digging on Robbo, as I have several friends who support Hull, the overwhelming response was that it was a very...

Key Observations as Liverpool grind out yet another win

A 4th goal for Mane and a first for Firmino ensured Liverpool came away with 3 points from the King Power Stadium. Liverpool were under tremendous pressure in the second half, not helped by their goalkeeper's penchant to dribble. The key observations from the win today. Disjointed Midfield Klopp made a single change to his starting line...

Leicester 1-2 Liverpool: Man of the Match

We're only four games into the season but already a familiar narrative has taken hold in the post-match reaction to Liverpool's victories. Once again, the Reds were far from their best - the furthest from their best they have been, in fact - but they managed to pick up three points, to hold on under...

A Lucky Escape? – Key Stats from Liverpool 2-1 Leicester

Liverpool moved to four wins from four Premier League games as they just about did enough to see off Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. But what were the key stats from the Reds’ 2-1 tricky away win? Historic Reds Off To Special Start After games like this one, it can help to look at...

Liverpool make it four wins from four against Leicester City

Every season we band about how ‘it’s our year.' Liverpool will finally land that elusive Premier League title, surging to the top with Jurgen Klopp’s scintillating philosophy of football. Things never really pan out that way, though. This year feels different mind you. The Reds now have the depth of quality; Shaqiri, Lallana, Sturridge and...

Leicester City 1-2 Liverpool – Player Ratings as Reds win four in four

Alisson Becker gave Liverpool heart-attacks with a moment of madness in the second half to gift Leicester a goal, but first-half goals from Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino were enough for the Reds to see off a brave Leicester fightback to gain another three points, with a fourth consecutive Premier League win to start...

Group C awaits for Liverpool in the Champions League

The wait is finally over and Liverpool now know who they’ll face in the group stages of the Champions League as they hope to reach another European final.

Roberto Firmino: Fewer Goals, Same Influence

When Roberto Firmino was denied by Mat Ryan in Saturday's gritty 1-0 win over Brighton, a nagging thought entered my mind immediately. "He's still looking for his first goal of the season", I thought, knowing full well where the current narrative is slowly heading towards Liverpool's brilliant Brazilian, rather than being worried about his form. The...

x-Pected Improvement Following Klopp’s Upgrade of the Spine

A mere 3 games into a highly anticipated new season and Liverpool sit atop the Premier League table. While it's still early days, with the integration of new players underway, it's extremely satisfying to see the club hit maximum points thus far. 9 points, zero goals conceded, firing at probably only 60-70% of our true level....

Liverpool & That Dreaded International Break

The Premier League is back and in full swing, and what a time it is to be a Liverpool fan: three wins out of three, zero goals conceded, the team are playing some great football - and United are struggling which just makes life that bit sweeter. Wins against Brighton, West Ham and Crystal Palace...

The Jordan Henderson Criticism

Three games, nine points, no goals conceded, top of the league. And we’re not even playing that well. West Ham, aside we haven’t quite been at our swashbuckling best. Firmino is yet to score and, if viewed objectively, we’ve had to hang on a bit in our last two games so we’re not quite at...

Is Van Dijk’s defence capable of underpinning a title challenge?

Liverpool’s £75m capture of Virgil van Dijk made him the most expensive defender in the world. Of course, eyebrows were raised left, right and centre given the size of such an investment; a good defender for Southampton but one worthy of such an outlay? Outsiders weren’t particularly convinced. Fast forward to the present and the...

A Plan of Adaptation: Fabinho Edition

Having spent £40m on Fabinho this summer, some fans would’ve expected him to come straight into the starting eleven and offer a blanket to the back-four we’ve not seen since the days of Javier Mascherano. Crunching into tackles and feeding the ball to his teammates higher up the pitch, his inclusion would bring Liverpool to...

Liverpool’s Bit-Part Players Essential To Fast Start

Three games in, and Liverpool’s start to the Premier League campaign has been impressive, if not necessarily electrifying. The Reds started explosively against West Ham, but in the following two games, against Palace away and Brighton at home, Liverpool have relied more on a strong and stable defensive base than their typical vibrant attacking...

15 Weird and Wonderful Facts about Liverpool F.C.

Think of yourself as a Liverpool super-fan? See how many of these facts are news to you as we separate the fanatics from the bandwagon jumpers! Anfield was originally the home of Everton, but they fell out with the owners over the rent they were being charged and moved to Goodison Park in 1891....

Naby Keita’s story so far

After just three appearances for Liverpool, Naby Keita has captured the hearts and minds of Reds supporters. The 23-year-old midfielder already has his own song, a re-hashing of the 2005 chant reserved for Rafa Benitez. An impressive start to the season from him and his teammates has ensured that Liverpool are now just 5/2...

Should We Have a More Balanced View on Michael Owen?

A disclaimer before I begin: I’m a Michael Owen fan.  I’m of an age that means that I was just starting to be aware of football, and starting to play football when Owen was at his peak. The first football match I can ever remember seeing on TV? Germany vs England, in Munich. He was...

Virgil Van Dijk is Overrated

It's hard to ignore the presence of Virgil Van Dijk at Liverpool FC. Looking past a 14 stone 6 ft 3 man-mountain is a challenge in itself, but the world record £75 million fee drew the attention of anyone and everyone with an interest in football. Against Crystal Palace, Van Dijk was awarded the Man...

Rampaging Raumdeuters: Tactical Evolution of the Fullback

Thomas Muller is a peculiar footballer. The zany German is known for his aloof attitude, general mischievous behaviour, his pranks on Bayern teammates and his excellent Kermit the frog impression, once even feigning a phone call with his passport held to his ear to avoid speaking to the press. The man is a genius. His...

Liverpool 1-0 Brighton: A Tactical Breakdown

On the final game of the 2017/18 season, Liverpool romped to a 4-0 victory against Brighton, but this time around, Chris Hughton was determined for the type of game and result to be completely different to the preceding meeting between the two sides. Brighton set up in a 4-5-1 off ball formation. In recent games,...

Three On The Trot! – Key Stats from Liverpool 1-0 Brighton

Liverpool went back to the top of the Premier League with a tense but richly deserved 1-0 win over a stubborn Brighton side at Anfield. But what were the key stats from the Reds’ third win – and third clean sheet – in three games? De-Fence, De-Fence Did I mention the three clean sheets in three...

Reds Keep It Clean, Blanking Brighton 1-0

Another match, another battle, another clean sheet. On first observation, this one looked to have come with quite a bit more effort than the previous two; Palace and West Ham. After City dropped two points to Wolves, this match took on massive importance. Liverpool will need to get used to playing with the pressure...

Key Observations As Liverpool Eke Out Another Win

Liverpool maintained their 100% win rate as they overcame a dogged Brighton side to win by the odd goal. Liverpool had their chances but were not in their best rhythm as they struggled to convert those chances into goals. Brighton were solid for most part of the game and should not be disheartened by...

Liverpool 1-0 Brighton: Player Ratings from a nervy Anfield evening

Liverpool made it three Premier League wins in three games with a 1-0 win over Brighton at Anfield. A well-worked move was finished off by Mo Salah midway through the first half, and the Reds saw off the rest of the game with that lead intact. It was a game that meandered between uninspiring and...

How Mo Salah Built A Superstar’s Aura

There are many things that make Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo the greatest players of their generation, if not in the history of the game. They score goals at an unfathomable rate; they lift their teams when they are struggling; they produce moments of genius and their level of consistency is second to none. Something that...
