Which Liverpool Players Should Make Way for The Regeneration?
The worse this Liverpool team gets, the more likely there will be wholesale changes within the club. I don’t think the manager is a certainty to start next season in our dugout, but there are many players I would rather see leave before our illustrious German coach. Klopp has recently dismissed the notion of being too loyal, so time will only tell whether he will have the conviction, to pull the trigger on certain individuals within his playing squad. His …
Lessons Learned against Real Madrid
A schooling, a hammering and absolute annihilation. Three comments I saw on social media afterwards, which are all completely true. What started to look like being another dream night at Anfield quickly disintegrated into an absolute nightmare for Liverpool as they were well beaten by an outstanding Real Madrid side. Even the most optimistic reds will struggle to believe there’s any chance at the Bernabau, whilst the focus will now quickly move to trying to salvage something from an awful …
Lessons Learned against Newcastle United
It’s quite staggering that in a season where Liverpool have been largely woeful that they still have a chance to finish in the top four. The gap to Newcastle is now reduced to just six points and with a game in hand. There were plenty of ups and downs in a game that we never fully controlled, Cody Gakpo made it two-in-two and Darwin continued his resurgence but three points was all that mattered in the end. We look back …
Thiago a shining light and continued key man for Liverpool
Even when Liverpool are producing one of their ugliest and most disappointing seasons in recent memory, Thiago still manages to be beautiful.
In a campaign littered with both team and individual deficiencies, the Spaniard continues to shine and do his best to alter the Reds' fortunes.
There are some who may lazily look at Thiago and claim that he is part of the problem, just as Fabinho and Jordan Henderson now undoubtedly are, but this couldn't be further from the …
Tony Evans: It's Time For Mo Salah to Shine
There is no doubt that Mo Salah is a Liverpool great. He has been the cutting edge of the Jurgen Klopp era. Unfortunately, he’s dropped down a gear just at the moment and he needs to step up another level.
We’ve come to expect more than seven goals in half a Premier League season. He’s going to have to double that output in the next 19 games to make qualification for next year’s Champions League a possibility.
But first it’s …

Alisson Becker - 8.0
Recalled to the side and was the decisive component in keeping the blues scoreless in the first half. His importance is both invaluable and worrying, as top sides shouldn't continue to rely on their goalkeeper.
James Milner - 5.0
Struggled to adapt to a few facets of the game, and was exposed when targeted for pace. His limitations shone too much and the message to Trent must …
Jurgen, it's time to say goodbye
On October 8th, 2015 Jurgen Klopp become Liverpool's manager. He agreed to take over a team that was languishing in mid-table, with the squad desperately in need of reinvention, and a fanbase desperate for real success. He dubbed himself the normal one and talked about Liverpool being a special club. From humble beginnings with a 0-0 draw away to Tottenham, Klopp would build Liverpool into a team feared throughout Europe. With his heavy metal football, built around gegenpressing, his team …
Liverpool 2 - 2 Wolves - The FA Cup Post-Mortem
As we approach another Premier League fixture, we can now look at the Reds as having struggled in every single competition this season. In the pre-match build up to Saturday's game there was a real sense of belief, with the manager opting for his most valuable starting eleven. That game saw Wolverhampton Wanderers arrive with a second-string side, only sprinkled with a few first team players. In what should have been a pathway to create rhythm, it only managed to …

Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 5.0
Confirmed as the FA Cup keeper again, he’s been the reds best player so far this season. In a rare moment of uncertainty, he gave away the opening goal with a very poor pass out. Made a solid save shortly thereafter, and it’s very tough to point the finger at someone that has saved us so often. The second goal conceded was a tough …
