Liverpool Player Ratings As They’re Bossed By The Baggies

Honestly, reckon the FA Cup is overrated anyway. I'm more of a Barclays Asia Trophy kinda guy. Liverpool 2-3 West Brom. They actually had the ball in the net five times, did the Baggies. The beauty of VAR and all that, Liverpool still managed to mess it up. Onto the ratings... Simon Mignolet (5): Where’s Danny Ward? Have...

Sadio Mane’s Struggles Continue At Liverpool

This time last year, Sadio Mane looked a potentially better signing for Barcelona than Philippe Coutinho. That’s how good he was. The Senegalese’s departure for the Africa Cup of Nations in January was a fatal blow to Liverpool’s season, and their title bid fizzled out completely without their destroyer-in-chief around. Come the end of the campaign,...

VAR | Liverpool’s first exposure to it and why it’s here to stay

It's fair to say that every supporter of every club feels like their beloved team has been robbed by refereeing decisions this season. I can certainly say that about every single Liverpool supporter. Football is the most popular sport in the world and yet it is the only major sport to not have some...

Philippe Coutinho: Good Riddance

The 4-3 victory over Manchester City provided the Liverpool fanbase with a great deal of relief following the departure of Philippe Coutinho for £142 million only a few days prior. And to me, that was the end of the matter. Cheers for those stunning goals, it was a delight seeing a young Brazilian talent,...

Will a new look front three get the opportunity to fire Liverpool to FA Cup glory?

The loss of Philippe Coutinho to this Liverpool side was always going to be big, however, with the FA cup returning this weekend will the biggest impact of his loss be on the team we see challenge for the cup? As well as being a world-class player, Phil's greatest attributes was his ability to...

Coutinho-less Liverpool Face A Real Fight to Finish Fourth

Before starting, I feel the need to make one point: I firmly believe knee-jerk reactions are one of the worst things a football fan can be prone to having. It is a common theme in my articles, in fact, that such reactions, and those making them (usually on social media), should be categorically ignored. The...

No need for panic after Swansea defeat

The Swansea defeat was a real kick in the teeth for Liverpool. After a weekend where all bar one of our top 4 rivals gained maximum points. Yet it is too early to panic after previously going on such a long, unbeaten league run. Context Klopp's team is still creating good goal-scoring chances. The team can do...

Liverpool v West Brom Preview – Can Reds battle on in the Cup?

Not So Typical Liverpool

Typical Liverpool eh? The Reds followed up a sensational 4-3 win over Man City with a shoddy 1-0 defeat to Swansea, in the most Liverpool way possible. Now there’s no denying the performance was everything wrong with Liverpool at the moment – defensively shambolic in instances off set pieces, dominant but unable to break...

Emre Can’s Important Choice | Join Juventus or Stay at Liverpool

Liverpool are considered to be one of the most high-profile clubs in Europe, but they have faced some difficult decisions regarding their star players in recent years. While most clubs with the history of Liverpool attract the world’s top talent, the Reds have now lost two world-class talents, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho, to...

How Did Swansea Tactically Outsmart Liverpool?

"They are like a Formula 1 car. But at 4pm in London it will be difficult to speed, they would be a car like any other. We needed to make sure there was traffic, we could not let them have open roads to drive in." - Carlos Carvahal. What a quote that is. Indeed, it tells...

Swansea, Defeat and the Inevitable for Liverpool

It wasn’t supposed to end this way. Manchester City were the most likely. Disappearing into the distance as they were; 22 games unbeaten in the Premier League and looking generally imperious. Maybe it could have been Arsenal? After all, Liverpool had only recorded one victory in their last six visits to the Emirates despite...

Backs To The Wall Time For Karius

Loris Karius faces a defining period in his Liverpool career, with Jurgen Klopp confirming that the German has surpassed Simon Mignolet as the club’s No.1 goalkeeper. Signing from Mainz in 2016, the 24-year-old arrived having been voted the second best ‘keeper in the Bundesliga behind Manuel Neuer. With such prestige to his name, fans naturally...

Key Stats from Swansea 1-0 Liverpool

Liverpool fell to their first defeat in 19 games with a woeful performance as they lost 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium. Lack of clinical finishing costs Reds dearly Some days it’s your day. Some days it isn’t. Last week I mentioned how Salah, Firmino and Mane all scored low percentage chances, but this week it was...

Observations as Liverpool’s Unbeaten Run Comes To A Halt

Liverpool's unbeaten run came to a frustrating end on Monday night in Wales, with Klopp's side suffering a 1-0 loss to Swansea. It was a thoroughly subdued display for The Reds as all the positivity from the 18-game run was undone in just 90 minutes as Liverpool failed to capitalise on Tottenham's draw over...

Swansea City 1-0 Liverpool: Abject Reds downed by Swans

Liverpool were agonisingly abject, going down by a single goal against Swansea City on Monday evening. Alfie Mawson's sweet finish in the first-half was enough for a dogged home side, who came into the match sitting bottom of the table. The Welsh side parked the bus and got their rewards, leaving Liverpool fans angling for a...

Swansea 1-0 Liverpool | Player Ratings as Liverpool do a Liverpool

Typical Liverpool eh? Beat the Premier League leaders one week, lose to the league's bottom the next. It was a disjointed Reds side up against a spirited Swansea outfit, who displayed tremendous team-spirit and character to come out with a 1-0 win that ensured Liverpool couldn't extend their advantage over Spurs to more than...

A Mystery Man Cometh: Liverpool Signing Anderson Arroyo

We were promised a mystery signing, and boy did Liverpool deliver… Since we didn’t get the traditional, drawn-out transfer saga with this new addition, I’ll set the scene for you.

Liverpool Were Wrong to Not Sack Flanagan – And It’s a Damn Shame

Everything is perception. As of right now, Liverpool have a player on their books who, according to the criminal report, throttled his partner Rachel Wall, held her against a wall and kicked her while she was on the ground. There is almost far too many details and variables that go into a complicated, nuanced case like...

Liverpool vs Swansea Preview | Key Battles

After a glorious week of fans still not coming back to earth after the hitherto invincibles were beaten at Anfield, Liverpool get back on the road in the Premier League on Monday, with a trip to Swansea City, who are bottom of the table. The Swans have one win, one draw and one loss in...

How far Liverpool have come under Klopp

With Barcelona having lost 1-0 on Wednesday night, Liverpool are now currently on the longest unbeaten run in Europe's top five leagues. Since losing 4-1 to Spurs in October, Liverpool took stock, restructured tactically, and have not just been resurgent, but prepotent. In the 18 games following that defeat to Spurs, Liverpool have gone on...

Liverpool Should Fear Nobody In Search For European Cup No.6

Liverpool just stuffed the so-called ‘best team in Europe right now’. They didn’t fluke a win against them - in fact, the eventual 4-3 scoreline was very generous on a Man City side who actually performed quite well. It was a victory that showed exactly how far the Reds have come with Jurgen Klopp in...

Why Emre Can Will Become a World-Class Number Six

Emre Can has been a player who has polarised the opinion of Liverpool fans, not just about how good he is but what his best position is also. Up until this season, many fans including myself believed he was most effective in the number 8 position, operating as a box to box midfielder. This...

Roberto Firmino: Underrated Brazilian The Heartbeat Of Klopp’s System

Philippe Coutinho was probably regarded as the most talented of the ‘Fab Four’ prior to his departure, with Sadio Mane the speedster of the pack and Mo Salah the marksman who’s hit the ground running to provide a new lease of life to Klopp’s attacking force. Yet, there can be no argument that Roberto...

Why Liverpool Will Always Be Bigger Than Any One Player

It took all of eight minutes to remind Anfield of one very special fact. Liverpool Football Club is bigger than any player. Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain’s driving run, emphatic finish and impassioned celebration perfectly emblemised the oft-romanticised ‘Liverpool spirit’ – the idea that you don’t buy a great player, rather a player becomes great in the cauldron that...

The Reality of Sadio Mane’s Season

Sadio Mane is more than just the second line of a viral song about Liverpool F.C’s frontline. In 2016/2017 he was Liverpool’s best player, his form reflected in his 2nd place finish - behind his Liverpool compatriot Mohamed Salah - in 2017’s CAF African Player Of The Year awards. The Senegalese forward was so integral...

Liverpool 4-3 Man City: A Tactical Breakdown

From start to finish, Liverpool's Premier League tie with Manchester City was electric. Essentially, two very similar schools of tactical thinking came together, and on this occasion, Klopp's relentless pressing from the front, numerical overloads, and astute counter-pressing positioning came out on top. Instead of breaking down the goals in this analysis, because a majority...

Why Liverpool don’t need to replace Phil Coutinho… Yet

Sunday morning, a few hours before Liverpool kicked off against Manchester City, I was just about done. It hadn’t been the best day for Liverpool up until that point, as the toxic fever pitch and maelstrom of Liverpool fans’ complaints about everything from Jon Flanagan’s guilty plea right the way through to Liverpool deciding...

Reborn Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Continues To Excel

If ever a day summed up why Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's decision to trade Arsenal for Liverpool last August was an inspired one, it was Sunday. As the 24-year-old was sat preparing for the Reds’ eagerly-anticipated clash with Man City, his former club were blowing a lead and suffering defeat at Bournemouth, languishing in sixth-place in the...
