Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
We are all fully aware that under the FSG rule, we are a club that needs to be (for the most part) self-sufficient. Yes we have vastly improved Anfield, yes we have vastly improved our training facility (with the superb Kirkby structure), and yes we have handed out huge contracts to world-class players. But what […]
The first phase of this enthralling Premier League season is now in the dust, and ridiculously, the World Cup in Qatar begins this coming Sunday. This whole international competition is a complete farce, from the moment the destination was announced, until the moment it ends. It’ll bring controversy, injuries, upset and fatigue. Yet the mid-season […]
With only a handful of games left in the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup this season, Liverpool now (more than ever) need to utilise the full depth of their squad. After watching Manchester City glide into red territory time and time again this past Sunday, the end result has to be seen as […]
Liverpool’s depth was on display again as they delivered a 2-1 win courtesy of a clinical brace from Takumi Minamino. But what were the key stats as Jurgen Klopp’s team kept the quadruple dream alive? Fantastic Four This was the 4th match against the Canaries this season. Whilst there have been prior occasions where this […]
Liverpool v Norwich – The FA Cup 5th Round Player Ratings Alisson Becker – 7.5 Back in nets, with some game time needed before the weekend. Had very little to do through the first half, other than an early and late flurry by Norwich. Wasn’t at fault for the goal, and produced a great save […]
By no means are Liverpool in limbo but there is a lot of uncertainty over the future of a number of players currently on their books. The media focus has, rightly, been on Mohamed Salah. The two-time Golden Boot winner – who could well make it three this season – is out of contract once […]
Curtis Jones has gone under the radar this season. Harvey Elliott’s exploits early on coupled with his injury issues has meant people have kind of forgotten about the 20-year-old after an impressive 2020/21 campaign. He’s back now, but what role can he play for the Reds moving forward? Liverpool find themselves in limbo in the […]
Alisson Becker – 7.5 Mistakes will come now and again, but the world’s best stopper showed a commanding presence in a routine display. Trent Alexander Arnold – 9.5 Sensational. The teams primary playmaker is transcending the fullback position. Any manager in world football (club football anyway) would have this man over any other, and his […]
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain really found his groove as a midfielder for Liverpool during the 2017/18 campaign. He was a whirlwind in the middle third and he seemed to thrive in the chaos created by Jurgen Klopp’s ultra-aggressive system. If you think back to the games against Manchester City, he was the wildcard. Pep Guardiola loves to […]
Stubbornness, single mindedness, arrogance and an absolute inability to adjust one’s methods, can be the downfall of even the best managers in modern football. In recent years we have seen the likes of Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho, unable to adapt to the modern needs of Premier League football, with both departing the division at […]
